As I'm writing this, I'm watching my daughter frantically kick her feet and wave her arms to Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly." Its quite possibly the funniest thing I have witnessed since my best friend puked in our hotel room bath tub (Yes!! the bathtub, but that's another blog entirely).
Annabell is 5 months old! Its such a cliche but the time really does fly by. Seems like only yesterday she couldn't even hold her head up. Now she rolls over, sits up and eats stage 1 baby foods, green beans being her fav.
On April 11th we had her Christened at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. She looked absolutely precious in her white gown with pink embroidery (naturally it had to have pink as she is my daughter!). My sister is her co God-Mother as well as, Zac's sister, who was unable to attend. My dear friend Kevin was her God-Father....or "Fairy" God-Father as I affectionately refer to him. He looked very dapper in his suit and bow tie, but was completely envious of my Edie Sedgewick inspired dress and "Alice and Wonderland" jewelry! Only drawback was that I'm not sure the length was exactly "church" appropriate" so I opted to not take communion as it requires kneeling on a bench at the front of the sanctuary.
Speaking of Edie Sedgewick, I've become quite intrigued by ALL things vintage; clothing, jewelry, furniture, etc. I have even started frequenting garage sales to scavenger these finds. Its amazing what you can get and its practically being given away! Next thing you know I'm going to be placing an "I Break for Garage Sales" sticker on the back of the Lexus.....yeah, maybe not....but no offense to those of you that do.
Along with these firsts, I also had my first encounter at Luckenbach, Texas. How is it possible with my love of country music, boots and, well lets face it, beer, that I have managed to live 29 years having never been to this mecca of fun. I did not follow the masses and buy a t-shirt. However, I did purchase a bandanna (taking inspiration from Willy, Waylon....and the boys) and opted for a Lone Star instead of my usual Michelob Ultra. After all, who counts carbs or calories in Luckenbach....
*Must give credit to Tonia who informed me that it was Lita Ford who sings Annabell's song of choice. Tonia deserves an award for her vast knowledge of 80s pop culture....not to mention her ability to transform your everyday t-shirt.
**Also, a somewhat sincere apology to my dear friend Jamie for referencing the "bathtub" incident...perhaps I shouldn't have used your name....Oh well, won't be the first time that has happened to you.
