Can't Breathe....
Is it because I shouldn't be wearing a Dress that I wore in the '80's....
Or Because I fly by the seat of my pants for most of my days....
I don't know how many times I said that at Timi's Ruffle Ball the other night...
Or that I hadn't eaten all day just to fit into my Old Prom Dress.
I find any reason to Just Be Me.....
Everyone Should.
And not worry what others think of you.....
I seldom do....but sometimes I do.... And then I remember who I am... And get reminded of it by Mr. Souers.... That I am who I am and that is who he fell in love with oh so many years ago....
So I decided on a whim, I would make the journey to this fun whimsical show in Monroe.... ( honest Abe here. I had "No idea" where Monroe, Washington was and by the time I got to North Bend, I had to pee so bad, I stopped at the Chevron where I always stop because I know they have a clean bathroom and don't make you feel guilty using it without buying anything...).
I thought it would be a good time to throw on Gilda, GPS..... The iPhone one is great, but I need a talking one, or incoming traffic will not like me.
Gilda has not been updated in 2 years.
Alot has changed in 2 years.
She said "take a right at the light". I do try to follow directions. Sometimes.
Who knew that the town of "Carnation" and "Duval" were this way?
Alrighty then. Took a Right.
And caught my self sightseeing and becoming "Count Dracula" counting the amazing Barns along the way....
"One Fabulous Barn".... ahh ahh ahh.
"Two Fabulous Barns"....ahh ahh ahh.
( no pictures here....just trying to catch the sites, listen to Gilda, and stay on the road I have never been on ...)
Better mind the road to "Duval" or I will have to explain this prom dress in the backseat to the Sheriff that is following me.
At least I didn't have it on....The explanation would be so much easier this way...
I really wouldn't be able to breathe if I wore it the entire way.
So.
Solo Journey.
I am amazed that more people don't do this as I love solo journeys.
Got to my room. Dressed. Heard that little voice....
"Are you serious"? There better be other's dressing up or Timi is going to get an earful.
Hear a commotion in the hallway...
About 10 decked out women from up North ....(can't remember where....that's part of my next blog entry of "my memory issue". It goes along with...."When is the next 2nd Saturday's show?
Get to the Ball....
Amazing.
The vendors, the spaces, the outfits, even John and Bob were styling some great vintage tux ruffles....
Got some amazing treasures....swore I would not be dragging home a giant cabinet in a prom dress...
I didn't....just a few amazing trinkets......
Tippy of Tippy Stockton's Jewelry had some amazing gems for sale...
and Isabel was as hilarious as ever....
I have to say I got some great treasures, but the best times was laughing with friends when I could "breathe"....and thank goodness for Auntie Joy's booth... I just copped a squat on her bed/chair at the end of the show and truly couldn't get up it was so comfy, I was so tired...and she had me laughing so hard, I didn't want to leave....
