Briana's Bat Mitzvah in 4 minutes - with a little jellyfish break. I'm reminded how beautiful my friend Melissa is inside and out, what a great job she did pulling this together, how much their family loves each other - and what a cool chick Briana is.
Especially compared to Melissa and me at that age! Melissa and I went to each others' Bat Mitzvahs - I remember riding up and down on the elevator at the Top of the 7s hotel in Clayton for entertainment during it - of course during Briana's nobody dared leave lest we miss the awesome DJ for even a minute. And I found a photo of Melissa with my other friends at my Bat Mitzvah the other day - hmmm you know what, I think we were "late bloomers." Fortunately I would rather be an interesting 43-year-old than an interesting 13-year-old cuz that's what I got.
Looking at this makes me excited for Sarah's. Even though I'm scared out of my wits. And I am old enough to have a Bat Mitzvah age daughter. Well in 2 years anyway. And it's going to be hard to top the jellyfish.
Music: Don't Stop Believing by Journey (a Briana favorite)
Today I bought a bunch of new plants and repositioned a bunch of beds in our landscaping. I got a 5' tall cactus. Yes that is ' and not ". My tailbone hurts. And I got a sunburn. My fingers even hurt.
