Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ack scary tree!
I KNOW!!
It possibly killed our AC, and did some lesser damage to a gutter and the fence. No structural damage to the house (thank DOG) and everything else in the yard looks like just a lot of cleanup.
Sigh. We're going out of town tomorrow. It would be nice to deal with the umpty-million things on that list right now, rather than this.
Jeebeus, Amych, that's terrifying.
I'm at my almost optimal sleep schedule -- 9:00 PM to about 6:00 AM. A nice 9 hours! And an afternoon nap if I can swing it.
I went to Ikea and bought another dining chair so I can get rid of the high chair now. And the crib.
No commentary on Charlene Whitstock? I think she looked beautiful. [link]
Yes, she did. Apparently, she considered calling off the wedding after news of a the prince's third illegitimate child surfaced.
I loved the jeweled thing in her hair.
Wow. Amych - that is totally scary.
I slept fitfully - woke up at 4 am with a cat eager for me to actually get up right by my side. Did not do that. Got up 7:30ish, fed said cat, made breakfast - settled in to watch the tennis. Post men's final? Feeling rather off - I went for a lie down and just got up.
Before I napped I unexpectedly found my cat lounging in the bathtub. It's not even that hot today!
Oh, she did look pretty!
That tree falling really is scary -- something similar happened to my brother and my nephew when they were camping a few years ago, and it caught my nephew's foot. He wound up having three or four surgeries, and he's always going to have a limp now.
As amych said on FB, trees should definitely stay vertical, or at least WARN when they're coming down.
I find that wedding depressing, Kat--doesn't seem much like a love match, what with the age difference and the crazy rumors of new undiscovered children, etc etc
Also, anyone who loves looking at royal outfits and/or dreaming of being a princess might enjoy this blog, which is all about royal fashion (currently all about the Monaco wedding, and guests, but often just what the royals are wearing on any given week)
goodness, she was all but on a plane back to South Africa. I feel badly for her. Was Princess Grace's life particularly happy after she married the Prince? I didn't think it was.
It's an extremely depressing marriage for sure. Sort of like what would have happened had Princess Diana had married Charles at 30 instead of 20.
Also, it's super depressing to see how skittish and unsure of herself she has seemed in interviews. She's an Olympic swimmer, for god's sake. Howabout a little self-confidence?
But I do think her dress is beautiful and the diamond sprays in her hair are lovely. AND I adore the bridesmaids in their white and red taffeta.
