Tanya (my daughter) had a basketball game last night against CCA from Truro. They worked really hard but lost by seven points....and may I say....Tanya did an awesome job of guarding....so much so that two of the girls that she guarded...were getting kinda ticked because they couldn't get any work done for their team! Go Tanya!
I asked Manumanum if I could borrow her Christmas Sweater as I am invited to a Christmas potluck today and I wanted to have something "festive" on. The sweater, I think, is very beautiful and not at all old fashioned like some of the Christmas Sweaters out there! As stated in another blog it is lime green in color and it has a little "gold bling" in the form of stars sewn on. It has 4 small reindeer heads around the front part of the waist each with a different scarf...(one has bells on the scarf that jingle!) I love it! (I told Manumanum that it made her look pregnant in hopes that she would give it to me....but that didn't work...! LOL) (INSIDE JOKE FOLKS!)
Anyways, my daughter, the fashionista, who has told me in the past that I am too old to wear bling, that my bottom is too big to wear prints etc., stopped by the house last night to get some clothes. (it seems that the older the kids get, the house is just used as a stopping point, sometimes to sleep, definitely to eat us out of house and home, and a laundromat.) Back to the story though...she saw the sweater hanging nicely by the fire with care...I mean...hanging on the wall outside the bathroom and said..."What do you have that for?" I said..."I'm wearing it to work tomorrow"....she said "Why? Is it ugly Christmas sweater day?"
A knife to my heart wouldn't have hurt any more I'm sure...cause I love that sweater. Anyhow, I'm proud to say that unlike the sweater with the bling she told me I shouldn't wear and...that I didn't buy...I am wearing the "ugly Christmas sweater" (her words) today! And...I'm wearing it proudly! And I love it! So today....if you want to sing Jingle Bells.....I'm Fanny Bright by your side!
Merry Christmas everyone!
