It’s clearly trash day in our neighborhood but more importantly, I see buds on some of the trees! I assume they’re flowering trees as NYC plants a lot of them. Spring should be pretty spectacular here.
I trekked on down to Macy’s yesterday and all the way down there I was saying to myself “I’m going to find a great dress today!” I changed my attitude and it helped so much. There were dresses everywhere, most of them entirely inappropriate for me, but there was a lot to look at and consider. Oh, how I wish I had the thin body I used to have! I took it for granted.
Ummm….a big fat NO.
I’m not one to buy a dress that I can only wear once, so I thought I would end up with basic black and I did. It’s the only dress I tried on. I texted both Don and my sister a picture of me in the dressing room trying it on. You can see it over on my sidebar in the Instagram pics.
Shoes, on the other hand, took more time. I wanted comfort but with a heel. I ended up buying three pair because I couldn’t make up my mind! They’re all lovely – one basic, one patent, one a suede. Two of them have a pointy toe. I guess I’ll decide which pair to wear when I’m fully dressed. I got a little clutch, too. Oh, and some dangly red earrings that are a little over-the-top in a fun way.
Then I walked all the way back to the apartment and collapsed on the sofa.
Done.
Today, we’re going out for breakfast and taking it easy before Don has to head to the theater.
I want to say how proud I am of this incredibly talented man who happens to be my husband. He has worked so hard on this show. A year ago, rehearsals started in La Jolla. What an amazing journey he and the rest of the cast and creatives have been on over this past year! All the while, Don has kept everything in perspective.
He’s having the time of his life. I am so grateful for that. And so grateful to know everyone involved in this show. They are truly the nicest, most joyous people I have ever had the privilege to meet.
A toast to Escape to Margaritaville!
Happy Thursday.
