So Sleepy...
I just got back from the wedding, and I'm exhausted. It was so pretty, and I managed not to "openly weep" during the ceremony (though I came awfully close watching the groom say his vows). My dress stayed up, my hair stayed put, my escort stepped on my dress in the hallway when only the Wedding Party was around, I didn't spill anything on myself or catch the bouquet. I'd say it was a successful wedding.
On the agenda for the evening: after having removed 41 bobby pins from my head, it is time to wash out the hairspray. The hair lady said that if it doesn't want to come out, I can make a paste with baking soda, and that should do the trick. Oh dear.
I will say this about my hair - I didn't take out the pins et al. until 34 hours after they were first put in. During that time, I slept on it (briefly - why sleep when you can have fun?), took it line dancing, to two bars, on a plane ride, a bus trip (Ass Comment: there is another bus story), a Metro ride, and while it definitely looked better before all of those things, I was impressed that it was both all still there and not hurting me. But I'm not going to work looking like that tomorrow (did I think about that? Yes.) so now I have to summon the energy to stand up long enough to shower. So... sleepy...
Much as I love DC, it's always hard to leave Vandy. I made some really spectacular friends there, and while some of them made the trip up here with me, too many of them are far away. Saying goodbye is difficult.
