Sometimes ya just need a Saturday morning.  I slept in til 8, which so nice.  A little planning on my school loan with Conrad, as well as musical IMG_6737introductions (he sent Nick Cave and I sent….Twenty-One Pilots), then I started my day.  

I have twenty-ish days to get things moved… since we’re heading to New Orleans.  HOW will I accomplish this?  I have stairs, heavy stuff and no truck, but I have options.

Got Lizzie loaded up…several times. She’s doing better, but there are still hiccups here and there. Soon it was time to get showered and ready for the Quinceanera.  I drove the bus, I need to get 500 miles on her quickly, before Hip-nic.  I do love driving her…need new FullSizeRender(24)speakers though.  Music is a MUST.

The event was breathtaking and I very much appreciate the cultural aspect.  It did remind me a little bit of the debutante tradition I partially took part in until my dad took it away for me (to be fair, I did get in a lot of legal trouble).  While I love me a good waltz, I think I prefer quinces.  

As a Dama, Maggie looked so beautiful, they all did. Emma was absolutely stunning.  Again, I felt tears welling in my eyes. I have no idea what I will do at her eighth-grade graduation, at her high school graduation, college, marriage, childbirth.  FullSizeRender(25)Jesus.  I’m already feeling dehydrated.  I LOVED the Mariachis!  After they were finished, the dance floor was opened up to everyone, and though I was itching to get out there and get down, I’m not sure Mags would have appreciated it, so I left.  Lots to do tomorrow, early to bed.  

Pictures: Lizzie is loaded; My poster from the Women’s March in SF “We are teh leaders we’ve been looking for”; Maggie as a Dama with her partner; Get out there and dance, dance I said…only the sexy people.” <insert Salt ‘n Pepa song>
