Isn’t this dress sooo cool?
It’s made of Crimplene, which was a space-age fabric in the 50s. Crimplene, if you don’t know, is basically very thick polyester.
It’s amazing for structured clothing like this dress. Apparently not so great for anything humans needed to wear when it was at all hot out.
Not a current concern.
I think the problem is I somehow can’t get dressed until I’m packed because what if I pack something I decide I would rather wear?
Sometimes I add last-minute laundry to my tasks because I guess I like to complicate everything.
And then I inevitably run around the house in my underwear all WHERE IS MY BLACK TEE SHIRT?
I make lists. I make piles. I even list what I’m planning on wearing on the plane.
But still I run around the house like a lunatic.
Thus it has always been, and despite my best intentions, this it likely shall always be.
My entire carry-on is only my dress, boots, shawl, purse.
Nick is checking his tuxedo, which is a bold (ahem foolish) move, in my opinion.
We have 52 minutes to change planes in NY. This amount of time gives me hives.
Nicole is in charge. Will the kids be delighted with a break from us?
I don’t know. It was really hard for me to say goodbye.
The only time Nick and I have left them was for a memorial service when India was one and Jordan was four. We left them with Nana Betty.
I’ve been ridiculously excited about this trip. And equally excited about getting all dressed up.
We board in a few minutes.
On our flight to NY we’re apart, same row but window seats. I hate window seats.
In true adhd fashion, I like to be able to get up 500 times if I want to.
Also, you know, what if you get sucked out the window?
New item on flight fear list.
Anyway, with any luck, we alight in the land of Percy Pigs tomorrow morning London time.
Seriously. That’s what both kids have requested.
Hugs and more hugs!
That is the most fabulous dress!
