Mark asked me to design the Costume Night Invitation for our Young Life friends. Harmless, right? I happily obliged. Later, Mark was sorry that he had asked me to design the invitation. He should have known that I would use my wifely powers to snag a picture of him and doctor it up in Picnik. (insert Wicked Witch of the West laugh here...)
Actually, subtract the Wicked Witch's laugh. The Witch and her flying monkeys still scare my mom half to death.
Sorry, Mom.
The Costume Night was fun. (sorry about the crappy picture) I got to fulfill one of my life-long goals to dress up like Princess Leia, thanks to my sister-in-law scoring the costume on the clearance rack. At this time, I would like to take a moment to proudly announce two very special things...
1) I did not even have to use the Leia costume wig. That's my own hair, folks. Well, it is my own hair plus Mark's black socks that I stuffed inside the buns. Clever, huh? I thought so.
2) I happen to be a Star Wars fan. ...Which is sort of an understatement in itself. When it comes to the original trilogy, which happen to be A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, which also happen to be the middle three of a NINE part series that George Lucas dreamed up, mind you, I am a pro. Do you know the difference between an AT-AT and an AT-ST walker? Do you know what planet Chewbacca is from? Leia's home planet? Her dad's name? Can you name three beasts of burden? ..... Told you.
So there you have it. Now you know what a weirdo I am and why I was so flipping excited to play dress up on Monday. It was a great night.
come again? you stuffed socks in your hair?
