the weekend

The weekend started with a fine anniversary party--John's idea, take out chow mein.

Well, and lo mein, and sesame chicken, and fried rice, egg rolls, and the eaters ate.
A lot.

This weekend was also the Jack of Hearts Dance at school. Maria went with some of her friends. Heidi and Kirsten took her shopping for the dress, which was somewhat of an ordeal, but worth it.

She hated all the dresses. (She's not a dress person, really.) And then a complete stranger barged up and told her to put this one back on, "That's the dress, honey! Go put it back on!" When she came out of the dressing room, the woman tugged at the dress and talked to her about what kind of bra to wear with it, and Maria was mortified.

Thank goodness for this fitting room stranger. Heidi and Kirsten were so relieved.

And here she is:


This also involved a Saturday trip to the big mall to get the security tag taken off the hem. Sheeze, don't you hate it when that happens? Jay has taken other tags off to save the trip--things like blue jeans. But not this slippery, delicate fabric. Too risky.

Anyway, now it's Sunday and the snow is pouring down. The dogs have been out racing around and wrestling in it. Predictions are for a foot. I hope they're wrong. Onward to Monday. love, Val
