goes and has herself a big time. And, as you can see from the picture below, she doesn't have that big time with a guy I expected to see standing there with her - although, I have to say, it makes me smile to see them together.
JB and I were at the beach (a trip that's been planned for weeks) for a long weekend - and The Blondster didn't decide until the week before we were leaving, that she was going to the prom. So here she is, in her little black dress:
And yeah, that's right. Mama wasn't there, except in spirit, and via texting-her-ass-off.
Which has its pros and cons. As, for example, when, ten minutes before she was to be picked up, she texted me this little nugget....
" Mom. Being picked up in 10 minutes. Where's my bra?"
She meant her strapless and special bra, not one of the other nine or so numbers. But mama knows this stuff, doesn't she? Oh yeahhhhhh. Even when being texted on the beach.
The Two Other Things
1. Guess what? I met one of you all when we were out of town. It was not a surprise at all, how it worked out, which was a wonderful thing. I'll pop a picture on later this week, after I re-figure how to download pictures. And yes, I drank white wine at a bar again, but this time, I drank white wine alone. I'm sure you'll recognize the pic when you see it!
2. AND - the voice thing is this Wednesday and Thursday. YAY! I've been thinking about which piece to read, and hope you are as well.

So The Blondster, While We Were Out of Town...(and 2 other things)

You know, you really must come to Chicago sometime before I leave so we can have ourselves a big time up here. Lots of places where we could cause trouble.
By the way, Blondster looks beautiful. Glad she had a big time.
She does look gorgeous. You need to explain the guy comments, though!
Ditto on Blondster looking gorgeous.
And I'm guessing you met Whirl and he was drinking daiquiris.
Huh! Bras! Always trying to muscle in on conversations.
Meanwhile — ditto the Blondster gorgeousness factor & looking forward to digging something out for Thursday.
Looking forward to the photos — especially as they won't feature me. Drinking daiquiris. In a hat. With a monkey. Clutching a whip. Bra. Hey — there they go again...
mama knows this stuff, doesn't she? Of course. Mums know everything.
The Blondster does look absolutely stunning.
Oh help, I'd better get recording. I hope I can remember how to do that.
I periodically remind N that her job is to know where every single thing is in the entire house whether she's touched it, seen it, or even known about it.
You got quite the head-turner there; you must be very proud!
By the way, do you happen to know where I left my umbrella?
Hi, you all!
I'll be back on later this afternoon to talk more - just popping on now to visit quickly.
And ril, honey, your umbrella is most likely where you had dinner last, when it was raining. Because you're a guy.
Oh yeah. Guess I'd better find something to read today.
Lots of practicing to do too!
Nope. Wasn't there. Any other ideas?
freddie, I'd love to come to Chicago! It's a cool city - and no, that has nothing to do with the Windy City thing, or the non-wind wind thing.
Hey McK - this is the boy The Blondster dated for over a year (and we took him to Britain last year). When they broke up (or really, it was one-sided) I didn't expect them to go to the prom together.
Well, BT, you'll see who it was....soon.
Ha! Whirl. So all you read was bra, huh? You guys are so, ya know.
Believe me when I say, I don't get the same reaction when I read the word jockstrap.
Yes, FH - get recording, please!!
Pacsa, what does N do then? Eye rolls, I'm guessing? Or a pinch in the hind end?
ril - What about the hotels you stay in on business trips? Or do you take your umbrella? What about the Japanese version of The Tube?
I'll be back on in a minute, with weekend photos.
Better that she ask you where her bra is 10 mins before she gets picked up rather than 10 mins after she gets picked up.
Looking forward to the Voice Thing.
When can we get the Zombie Cows together for a jam session?
It's OK, I found it. It was in the umbrella stand.
Oooooh, Zombie Cows jam session!
Actually, Pete, I'm thinking we should start working pretty soon and maybe we can gather us together somewhere next spring or so? We'll see....
And are you in the hotel for the voice thing?
ril, it's cheating, actually, to have put something away and be a guy. At least it is in this house.
Ok- I really am going to post the weekend pics here in about 10 minutes, with my surprise visit at the end. Well, it was a planned surprise visit, but even so...
I will be at home for the voice thing this time. Maybe I will try to take this opportunity to learn iLife on our new MacBook.
I'd love to get together next spring. Vegas is great in March and April. After that, too hot. San Francisco is lovely all year round, and did I mention I have a pool AND a hot tub at my house?
I never said I put it in the umbrella rack...
Well, San Francisco or Las Vegas - both are good ones!
We have some configuring to do - we're all over the map in this group of ours.
It would also be good if some of us 'overseas ytypes' were gonna be in the counry, and we could work around that. Or have two meet ups- one East Coast-ish, one West Coast-ish.
But these are good problems to have!
ril, if your wife already did put it away for ya, then, you know, my bra point is already made, right?
And by the way, are you doing a voice post?
Bra point. Uh, yeah. I was just verifying through the use of Platonic dialogue. Yeah.
Voice post. Uh, not sure yet. Need to trawl through my writing and see if there's anything worthwhile...
Hope you do!
