Why Is Valette So Busy?

Valette is busy because it’s the week before Christmas and people in our community are freezing and hungry with freezing and hungry children who cry a lot and there are other people with excess of everything who open their hearts and their checkbooks to try and make one little corner of the world a better place. And Valette gets to organize it with a paper trail. In triplicate.

Valette is busy because an awesome friend gave everyone ten days warning that she is getting married on solstice. Yes, that’s right, tomorrow. There is a bachelorette party to attend tonight, the ceremony tomorrow night where Valette is expected to take photographs by the light of the moon and a huge bonfire plus there will be swords and guns and perhaps a virgin sacrifice, and the reception party Thursday night.

Valette is busy because she spent all weekend baking and the Christmas decorations are still not up.

Valette is busy because the landlord has yet to drop off the new stacking washer and dryer and she is out of socks. The girl who hates wearing socks has nary a clean sock to her name. Valette is considering hauling everything to the laundromat that she has not used in the last three years after the bachelorette party tonight.

Valette is so busy that she would love to curl up under her desk and sleep for days, but instead will continue to refer to herself in third person.

Glad to know you’re not bored. Think of this - while you’re at a bachelorette party I’m going to an elementary-school-violin-concert. I think I’ll take my Tylenol now.

Who’s getting married - someone I know?

I’ll take sex toy discussions and free food over elementary school violin concerts any day. And I don’t think it’s anyone you know; she did work with me for about a year, but that was after you left.

Hey, love, things could get worse. Think how good you’ve got it now, you could have to make a long trip to somewhere Friday (nothing intended).
It’s better to stay busy than have nothing to do (one of my “old” sayings). Love you!

Go buy new socks - Fred Meyer is having an awesome sale on COOL socks! Soltice weddings make me happy.
