I’d better hurry and update you on the goings on of the oldest child, the one I tend to call the bad daughter, before her siblings arrive at O’Hare in a few hours.
First, she is getting married (and if Prince J was here, he’d be yelling PATRIARCHY – darn I love that boy.) The date has been set. March 21, 2009. A location has been chosen. It will be an outdoor wedding, at some place in Monks Corner, SC. (I’ve got a link here somewhere and I’ll post it another time.)
They’d planned to do an indoor wedding at this place but the stuffed dead animals were a turn off. Apparently they aren’t thrilled with a full sized dead bear being in all of their wedding photos?
Also, her bank hasn’t failed and they’re doing a thriving business due to MY poor bank’s failure.
And, she tossed in the fact that she had a abnormal pap smear a few months ago that she completely forgot to mention, and was heading to the doctor for a colposcopy this afternoon. My kids never tell me anything important.
Oh, one more thing about the wedding – she’s not having anything pink. Weird. This is the bad daughter who loves, loves, loves pink. She’s thinking “olive green”? The kid has gone nuts. Patriarchy does bad things to people. Remember that.
I’m sorry about the abnormal pap smear. I hope it turns out to be a false alarm.
Try not to worry to much about the pap smear. They often come back abnormal and it doesn’t mean anything serious.
On a more festive note: congrats on the daughter’s wedding! Olive green may not be your color (or mine) but i love that she’s doing it her way. Good stuff!
