from the upstairs room

it's a little funny to be in my ocala house by myself, wandering the rooms and thinking 'really,what did i do all those years i lived here?' i rolled in around 8 after dropping matt off at the airport. i leave at 7 am for a long drive to chatanooga, tn for peter and elizabeth's wedding. i do love driving in the mountains, but oh, the thought of south georgia is making me tired already! it's been a long time since i've driven even more than an hour. matt always drives on our trips, it's one of the things i love about him...of course i do my part - find snacks, cds to play, tell jokes...

finally caught up on sleep after the lock in. we had blast- all the girls brought clothes to exchange, but before that, we had everyone pick out an outfit then walk the 'catwalk' with the music blaring and the lights dimmed. the 'catwalk' was really from the back of the church to the stage. my outfit was a skirt about 7 inches long, and an equally small top. i realized i'm not a teenager years ago, but wow. this really reminded me! i got an idea of just how short my skirt was when one of the girls asked if 'the shorts under the skirt were attached'. there were no 'shorts' under the skirt!

after the catwalk, we did battle of the airbands - my band lost, but i wasn't surprised. there's only so much you can do to queen's bohemian rhaspody (sp?). i ran out of moves in the first minute. at this point it was after midnight, so we started doing girl stuff - painting nails, makeup, coloring hair. after the hair color disaster's i've had this month, i stayed far away even from the fumes!

well, to answer the question, i DID sleep. from 4-5.45 which was wonderful but hardly enough. so after 2 more naps that day i was good to go. i'll need that kind of endurance for the drive tomorrow!
