My father had a stroke that morning (no, it had nothing to do with who I was marrying!) and all I wanted to do was get back to the hospital. Only when we finally arrived and my husband was trying to help me use the bathroom while I was still in my wedding dress did I discover the huge, bright red lips on my shoulder from where someone must have missed my cheek. *sigh*<br /><br />And if it's any consolation, I walked around work half the day last week with my zipper down! How do we do that?nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-85708719508278556712014-03-31T09:13:44.990-04:002014-03-31T09:13:44.990-04:00Oh so many truisms ... big smile. I generally lie...Oh so many truisms ... big smile. I generally lie when asked the address question or just give the county I live in rather than the town. I know they'll be unlikely to find me either way but the county is bigger! The close encounter usually happens after garlic .. and the physical thing can be offensive when in a big crowd but you can't complain really. The uh-oh is also something like parsley stuck in your teeth or mascara smudges that no-one thinks to tell you about so unknowingly you've spent the day looking like a noodle. Conventions can be great fun but they are also exhausting, whether looking around or exhibiting. The best part is taking your shoes off at the end of the day and sinking into a nice hot bath - oh the joy. Fran Knoreply@blogger.com
