America's pastime. The big all-American game. Yes, once again its that time of year and once again, I don't care. I've never much been into football. Except for a few high school and college games but I've never spent weekends watching the NFL. So when my good friend, who is getting married asked if I could come try on bridesmaids dresses on Super Bowl Sunday, I said sure. So I drove over to Beverly Hills which only took 15 minutes (thank you Super Bowl) to try on a plethora of dresses. Of course, they were all horrible except one and that is the one I bought because luckily the bride gave us all the option to wear whatever dress style we wanted. So I went for this simple long dress. The bride's colors will be Indigo which is not the purple shown in the photo. Although before showing up I thought Indigo was purple.
While we were there trying on one hideous dress after another one of the brides down the hall comes out in (I kid you not) an Elsa Wedding Dress. Yes, I had totally forgotten that Disney has their own line of wedding dresses. Well, this Elsa dress was so grand, so flamboyant, that I had to try it on! I never got to try on wedding dresses for my own wedding so this was the first wedding dress I ever tried on and boy did it ever have a lot of sequins! And tulle. It was like 10 sizes to big so the lady had to clip me in but in addition to feeling like a snow queen I felt like a mermaid as this is what this dress seemed to be a cross of, a mermaid and a ice queen.
I guess you could kind of say I "Let It Go" in the bridal shop! ha ha
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
