the latest.
Friday, May 30, 2008 at 06:33PM When I was young I thought I could drive ANYwhere in town within 15 minutes. It didn't matter where I was going, I'd allow myself the same time to get there. Then in my early 20s, (mainly because I'd opened up my own business) I had to learn how to be on time. Mainly, I realized I couldn't negotiate with the FINITE nature of a minute. That there really were only a SET NUMBER of them. Revelations, I know.
So maybe I've gotten better, but I still think I can cram a billion activities into, say a half an hour. That somehow I'll find a way to expand my day to 25 hours. Or 70. And that's what I've been doing for a few weeks...(again). Also, feeling very guilty about stuff that inevitably slips through the cracks...(when it turns out that I indeed CANNOT bend space and time).
And it's just this time of year. I CANNOT keep all the kids' activities straight. Seriously. We had to call the school TWICE this morning. "Does Annie have a party today, or was it Emily? Or is it swim day?" "If it's swim day, does she bring a lunch? Or are we supposed to bring chips for the class? Who was I supposed to give that $5 to? ... Dammit, Jason where's that FLYER?!! UUUGGGHHH! KILL ME. If there is anything I LOVE about summer it is the ABSENCE of FLYERS. Next year, I'm going to chase every one of them down with a shot of tequila.
And coinciding with everything, is Jason's sister's wedding next weekend in Kentucky. Jason has some sort of project going on at work which involves a vice around his neck, so I will be making the trip to the The Tuck by myself, with Annie. And SHOOTING MY FIRST WEDDING IN OVER TEN YEARS. Never say never, I guess. Truth be told, I'm excited about it. And I can't wait to see all the family peeps too.
Anyway, I always think it's harder to write when too much time passes. I can't even remember what I did this morning, let alone all week. So here are some photos of the latest. The Amazing and Bionic Woman Katy who has the energy of 13 race horses on crack, will be announcing the latest Caden Lane collection, called Lush. It's my favorite design she's done yet, and here's a sneak peak from a shoot we did this week.
This shot cracks me up. Can you say, HOT WEARHOUSE? We were literally DRENCHED by the end of the day. To the point that I was worried about having a white shirt on. *Side note: I did this whole shoot with coffee spills DOWN MY BACK, thanks to my husband's lovely new car that HAS THE COFFEE HOLDER ON THE RIGHT, behind your SHOULDER. Serious morons. Don't they know that the drink holder is the most important part of the whole car?!
I thought it would be fun for you to see how the shots were set up. Pretty sneaky, huh?
And this is what we did last night. Turns out some of my friends get swanky emails from Neiman Marcus telling them about secret websites where you can buy tickets to see Sex in the City early...(for some reason Kohls doesn't do that kind of thing. I'm waiting). So we got to watch it last night. Totally fun playing dress up. And getting to feel all VIP-ish for a minute. :)
I think I look like their blonde amazon mother here..."Come child, let me nestle you into my armpit where it's nice and warm."
This was taken in the theater. I don't know how it happened. I think the screen was in the middle of changing scenes, but I like how it turned out.
Have a fun weekend!!
p.s. squarespace has been acting weird all week. I can't select text, in order to link to it. So if you want to see more of Katy's line when it gets released, you can find her here: www.cadenlane.com
ciao.

I loved seeing some pictures of YOU! So pretty, all of you swanky ladies!
Hang in there, mama~ summer break will be here soon...
Second, I'd just had two hot cups of strong a.m. coffee and when I read "blonde amazon mother here...'Come child, let me nestle you into my armpit where it's nice and warm' " I laughed so hard I gave myself an anxiety attack!
I miss you. And have fun in K'tuck!
xoxo, Ma

I can't wait to see your wedding pictures - I'm sure you're going to ROCK it as usual.

Have fun on your trip!
