1. It actually was great and rewarding despite all the bitchy sounding numbers that shall ensue.
2. Pedicures are the bomb.
3. Beautyshop for hairstyling are not.
4. Limos are getting less exciting but nonetheless, the best way to enjoy 92Q.
5. I gave a speech at the rehearsal dinner to nearly 100 of the bride and grooms family. It turned into a roast, which seemed intriguing-if I'd been prepared. Every table was encouraged to share a memory. The sister was an emotional mess, and I got thrown "you've known her the longest."
Two glasses of wine had me feeling pretty fine so I snapped up to the podium where my hands began trembling- preoccupying me more than the crowd. This has always what has gripped me in the performance arena. Not the people, but the blushing and physical seizing. I had a great open, seg, and closer that were pretty natural (my 9th grade partially deaf speech teacher would have been proud).
Afterwards I coudn't help thinking the story may have not been appropriate, even though the grooms party congratulated me for my words and I got some laughs. (true power I have to say). The laughs could have been the "you make us uncomfortable" canned laughter and clapping variety. It was about the plays she had performed throughout grade school- Helen Keller the wonderful line"wa-wa", and a public service announcement for teen suicide that had the greatest deadpan delivery. Just typing it makes me realize they are "had to be theres". The bride liked it. thats all that matters right?
6. At the end of the night I had the classic responsIble drinkers decision, where shall I sleep and who shall drive my drunkass to that location. Choices:
A. The groomsmen suite- where the latenight party was resuming.
b. Friend 1993's house nearby, on the floor of the baby's room.
This is where a couple of cynical lines about being a bitter single soon 30-turning lady attending buttloads of weddings, would fit nicely. Instead I say, outside of that mysteriously fizzing drink I was handed at the hotel, I am on the road to making the right choices.
