I did have a lot of fun!
Friday, we had an office party/potluck... and guess who was the only person who dressed up? Yep. Me. (I thought about Mitchell in this week's episode of Modern Family all day!) However, it was easy to just not wear the fairy wings and crown and tutu during the work day. Couldn't hide the blue hair and glittery eyes, but I didn't mind too much because they looked freakishly awesome.
That night I had plans to see Thriller at Kingsbury Hall with my friends Carrie, Mandie, and Liz. We were supposed to all meet there. Of course, I was running behind getting out the door. I was actually halfway down the stairs in my building when I realized I didn't know the address, so I ran back inside and looked it up. Then I grabbed my purse again and headed out the door. As soon as the door closed I realized I didn't have my keys in my hand. Neither my car keys or my house keys. And the lock on the door knob was set to "lock." So, I was locked out of my house, and couldn't get into my car (where I'd left the fairy wings).
I called Carrie and asked her to pick me up. We ended up being about half an hour late to the show, but she was a complete angel and didn't let me feel badly about it. It helped that the show was fantastic! And I didn't miss my favorite dance, a pas de deux between Frankenstein and Frankenstein's bride! I love going to events like that with people who dance! We'd watched the dancers do crazy things with their bodies and we'd all freak out ("whaaaaat?! Oh my gosh!!") Liz, Carrie, Mandie and I had a great time at the show and at Chili's afterward. Did I mention we looked great? Carrie had gone all-out with a Rainbow Brite costume, Mandie looked gorgeous in her 1930's socialite get-up, and Liz looked darling in her cavewoman outfit. I looked okay without the wings, though I felt a little silly.
After Chili's, Carrie drove me to a place where I have spare keys and I was able to get inside again. Crisis over.
...Or so I thought.
Saturday I left the blue hair in all day! I wore my jack-o-lantern pajama pants and Harry Potter t-shirt, an outfit Kate jokingly referred to as my "Harry Potter fan who has blue hair from reading in the closet all day" costume (love it!). I was a big hit at rehearsal that morning:
Boy, do I look tired in that photo.
That night, I drove over to Kate's house, and when I got out of the car and shut the door, ONCE AGAIN I realized I didn't have my keys in my hand. Nope. They were on the front seat of my car.
Gaaaaaaaaaah!!
So, Kate drove me back to the place where I have spare keys and retrieved them (thankfully, I had returned them earlier that afternoon -- so glad I didn't have to call Triple A). Then we grabbed some hot chocolate and went back to her place to watch Monsters, Inc. with Brandon. Hooray! That's the kind of monster movie I like! They were very nice to indulge me.
I am very grateful that I had friends to help me out this weekend, since I apparently needed taking care of :P
I'll have to put on my FULL costume and have someone take a photo. At the very least, now I have some fairy wings -- I've wanted them for quite awhile!
