Friday night, I headed to College Station and went to the rehearsal.
A couple of the guys including my escort failed to show up, so I tried to pay attention.
My mom called during the rehearsal which was a good reminder for all of us to turn off our phones during the wedding.

Afterwards, we all headed to Papa Perez in Bryan for dinner. It was very yummy. Then several of us headed over to a Pub for a little while. After that, on to the haunted hotel (aka La Salle Hotel). The elevator looked very similar to the one from Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and J was a little freaked out by it. A & her hubby had a room with a clawfoot tub. A, J and I all got in this awesome bathtub for some pics! I kept trying to convince them to go tour the aTm ponds with me, but there were no takers.


Then, being the pun-lover that I am, I convinced J to stand on the toilet for a pic so I can say that she was high on pot.


Saturday, we went to the location to get our hair and makeup done and while we were waiting on each other to get our hair and makeup finished, I managed to finish up my monkeys (I also helped with programs and centerpieces lest you think I’m a slacking bridesmaid)! I was very excited to finish them on Sarah’s wedding day. I’ll always have them to remember her special day AND I could now wear them to the reception with my new boots.

The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun at Rock Lake Ranch.


The wedding party – I’m on the far right.


The happy couple


TH and yours truly (thanks, Mom!)


Sarah and my parents (special thanks to TH for snapping this one – I LOVE it!)


and they all lived happily ever after!

TH and I went to a show Tuesday night. I sat between TH and a very nice gentleman. When I returned from my last minute ladies room trip prior to the show, the gentleman informed me that a blonde had been in my seat while I was gone. I let him know that if he’d said redhead, I’d have believed him!
The show was filled with lots of wonderful people:

• arielist couple – they were amazing!
• singing couple (and their small pregnant friend – the best I could tell, she was just hovering around to distract us in case we were getting bored).
• Indian dancer – lovely!
• African dancer – this looked like a great workout!
• Chinese dancing dog thingies made up of two people each.
• two couples on giant trampolines who also ran/walked up walls.
• a contortionist juggler guy – I imagine his mother told him, “you cannot get a job juggling when you grow up!”. turns out you can!
• a VERY talented balancing contortionist lady and some other contortionist ladies.
• several comedians who communicated by tone (mostly speaking another language), hand gestures, and facial expressions – I bet they play killer charades!
• a bunch of guy acrobats that did flips through rings and jumped rope while doing flips, etc. – this was really cool. They even jumped rope as a pyramid! I really felt like I should go home and work on my jump roping since I have a hard time with it normally these days, and certainly can no longer do double dutch, much less while doing handsprings! great stuff!
• a very talented orchestra!

Overall, this show was a lot of fun and didn’t last so long that you were tired of it!

And in closing, here’s a pic of the green sweater I wore today. It is acrylic (will last forever) and I got it at Goodwill (great bargain)…. win-win! I hope you are having a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!

I never finished my series of blogs about the squares from the Neopolitan blanket, so here’s another one….
The flower square is a modified version of a square from Itty Bitty Nursery by Susan B. Anderson. I went with two flowers instead of one.
