I'm spending the weekend in the old home town and it's bucketing down. And of course I didn't bring an overcoat with me, or a pair of relatively waterproof shoes. I have three pairs of heels but only one pair of sneakers, however that's nothing new. Nor did it stop my sister and I taking the kids to the local agricultural show this afternoon. We didn't linger very long in sideshow alley, but the handicrafts pavilion was surprisingly fun and the circus was a welcome respite from the howling wind. I pitied the poor equestrians who seemed hell bent of pressing on with their events despite the weather, and we got drenched buying the show bags. But I saw llamas and alpacas and cute kitties and bunnies and baby moo cows, plus I got a Berty Beetle show bag, so it wasn't all mud and driving rain.

Okay, I think I've got everything set for my sister's party tomorrow night. I've the dress and the shoes; the push-up bra and the accessories. N and I bought new lipsticks tonight (Target were having a two for one sale) and since it's going to be cold I found a cute pair of neutral fishnets that look good with open toed shoes. I also have a vintage red velvet evening coat to wear and my little silver Glomesh evening bag to store my lippy and a little bit of cash. Now I just need to get out of my funk so I can have some fun.

*sigh*

Shoes are always good for ridding one's self of a funk. At least they work for me!

There was a circus at an agricultural show? How cool is that.

I'm sorry that you have not been feeling great lately, but I'm glad you were able to have some fun.

Hope you have a great time at the party!

The show is like one of your state fairs, so there's all sorts of sideshow rides and exhibitions and competitions for the best cow and decorated cakes and that sort of thing. They also have a very small circus with half a dozen acts for the kids. It's not very good, but when you're two it doesn't matter that the flame twirler really should have stopped wearing spandex twenty years ago!

You sound very swish. I wish I could see you.

I had a bad night last night, and in the course of it I either remembered or dreamed something about llamas and thought "Oh, I must remember that in the morning so I can tell [livejournal.com profile] laylee." Of course, whatever it was has gone now.

I'd show you some pics if it weren't for the fact that my camera went astray at the conclusion of the evening and I was too hungover the next day to go looking for it. My sister reckons it will turn up eventually but I'm already planning on buying a new one when the Christmas bonus comes through.

I saw llamas at the show. They were so cute!

I spent way more money on my dress than I could really afford, but it is one of those things that the minute you put it on you just know you have to buy it, cost be damned!
