And me, without my ballgown...

fri, nov 19

-so, i guess it's not all about me, huh?
-i didn't have the right dress, jewelry, make-up, hair accessories, etc. (i did have an AMAZING pair of shoes thanks to kristen!!!)
-kristen's fabulous beau is faraway, protecting us all from known and unknown predators, which left kristen dateless for tonight's marine ball - the 235th birthday of the U.S. Marines
-i thought it was a chance for everyone to dress up in their ballgowns, tuxedos, and otherwise fabulous outfits
-but kristen managed to arrange childcare (thank you, Maia!!!) for our 3 boys, transportation to the ball and made sure i arrived home safely without even flinching - did i mention she lent me the MOST FABULOUS pair of shoes I've ever worn. seriously
-it turned out to be a VERY moving tribute to our Marines, past and present, who have served our country
-i truly felt honored to be there
-everyone was so nice
-it was a magical evening with amazing and deserving tributes to those who have served in our military, specifically, the Marines
-off to melbourne and the great ocean road tomorrow...

You might look at my comments after Camberra. Most important other than the nonsense is that I want to know if you have seen a duck billed platypus.

Have fun, fun fun
I love each qand every one of you.The lion asked the elephant why there was no gambling in Africa. The elephant said, "BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY CHEETAHS."
