Pay me back with 1,000 kisses
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2006... the year of the successful resolution. Won't it be?
Speaking of which, I have a list of good ones that were sanctioned by Pastor James in church this morning, so if anyone thinks I'm crazy... well... just tell them that it's straight from the pastor's mouth; therefore it must be a direct line from God. Or something like that. Twist your theology to make it fit.
- Quack like a duck in three important meetings.
- Walk like a penguin down the mall.
- Say hi to everyone I meet today as if I've known them forever, and then walk away without saying anything else.
So, New Year's Eve. Kim, Janna, Jen, Chelsea, and I (along with Jen's sister and Janna's friend) went to see The Family Stone, which was actually really good. The first choice would have been Memoirs of a Geisha, but it was sold out. Still. Solid second option. Plus, it was kind of fun to have a bunch of the theatre majors all hanging out. Just like old times. Heh.
Then, Kim and I went to Laura's to ring in the New Year with the usual crowd--Ed, Laura, Mike, Andria, Esther, Justin, Edwin, Kristin... that crowd. It was fun, but Mama Bear feels more like a Mama every time! Still, we kicked at Taboo, proving once and for all that we've still got it!, and I got my fabric and pattern for my bridesmaid's dress for Laura and Ed's wedding.
Oddly enough, it's rather familiar. Let me just put it this way. With this dress, I'll have four red formal or semi-formal dresses, and two of them will have the exact same skirt, and similar tops. I think that pattern (Jen, it should be more than a little familiar to you!) is the bridesmaid staple! No more red weddings, please! :o)
Anyways... that was about it. Pretty low-key, but still. Good times. Now, I'm cramming as much as possible into the last two days--I leave Wednesday, so that's pretty much a write-off, so there are just two days left. So far, on the agenda, we've got coffee with David MacKenzie (I know!!! SO random!), IKEA-ing with Kim, potential coffee with Becky, family movie night, lunch with Laurel, and a movie night with Kat and Aaron. Anyone else want to add themselves to that list?

So I forgot to pick up my book whilst I was there, could you bring it along with you tomorry? Thanks. Oh, and I'm starting Madonna's of Leningrad in a few minutes!
I'm sorry! For real, I am! My intentions were not to torture you into having several almost-but-not-quite-the-same dresses. I was only trying to find a pattern that would look good on 22 year old women and 12 year old girls.
Can I at least use the "but my wedding was first" line?
Definitely :) I know it's a versatile pattern, and it's probably quite popular because of that! I've been promised that the next one will be neither red nor two-piece.
Whose wedding is next? ;)
Happy New Year!!!
Ooppps, that Happy new year comment was from me. Hehehe. Silly me. :P

Is there any significance to your post title? Yes, I know it's from "I'll Cover You", but with a lot of your other posts, the title you use reflects the post content, and I don't get this one.
