As if the post about premature fa-la-la-la-ing was not enough to convince, today I will reiterate the fact that I really have no patience. I offer two examples.
Example 1:
I think the reason I've been in such a bad mood for most of the week (at least since Tuesday) is that I'm super-excited for Saturday.
Miss Angela is hosting an ultra-fabulous holiday cocktail party. I can't wait for the food (the onion, brie tarlets!), the drinks (a DIY martini bar), the decorations (the Christmas tree to end all Christmas trees and the martini shaker display), and the company (even Angie's little brother is going to be there!). I even sent Angie and Mike a card to tell them how excited I am.
The truth? The part that I am most excited about is my outfit.
I'm totally going with the vintage 1950s Rat Pack cocktail party theme. I ordered a vintage cocktail dress from eBay. I even rented a crinoline to give it a little flounce. I bought a belt and found some shoes. I just need jewelry and a retro hair style. I cannot wait to get dressed up on Saturday. I'm so excited that it's tough to think about other things. I have no patience.
For now, a close-up. I promise more pictures of the dress (and Brad in his get-up) after the big party.
Example 2:
Monday is my birthday--my 28th birthday. (That reminds me. I need to decide on what kind of cupcakes I want to make.)
I've had my birthday present from Brad since Saturday.
I knew what I wanted, and I whined and hinted and whined and hinted and whined and hinted until he went and bought it for me.
I so wish that I had managed to find a chance to use it. It's killing me. The mess--the giant mess in my craft room--is also killing me. It's a total disaster. In fact, it's quite possible I haven't scrapped much lately because it is such a mess!
Again. No patience.
