Start Spreading the News.

We are off! We are off to a big, fat, Jewish, wedding. We are off to worship false idols...


And we are off to give NY state a big, ole wet kiss, to celebrate that it is one of the few wise states that recognizes that everyone should have the right to marry.

If you were thinking of ransacking our 950 square feet in our absence, be advised that a tiny,old, Irish, granny nanny and a half-deaf, geriatric pup 6'2 armed, former member of the IRA and a giant rabid Rottweiler will be guarding our abode.

Steven's cousin is having a black tie wedding. I wasn't going to get Meazi a new dress, since she had this pretty yellow one from the fundraiser, and I knew she was getting a custom made dress in August for my sister's wedding.


We went into a local shop that sells a lot of Quinceanera dresses, to find Melese a black tie. Meazi noticed some long dresses and asked just to try a couple on. She put this one on and I was a goner. The way her eyes sparkled when she saw herself in the mirror made me hand over the credit card instantly. Well worth the 34 bucks.

 Have a wonderful Fourth of July. See some of you in NYC.

    That is a beautiful dress - aren't you worried she will outshine the bride? ;)

    Have a wonderful time in NYC - can't wait to see pictures of Meazi meeting her idol for the first time!

    Yeah, you can't go into a shop that sells Quinceanera dresses with a beautiful wee girl who likes to twirl without walking out the doors with something new to spin in. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)

    She looks gorgeous.

    Have an amazing trip!

    Love the girl, love the dress!

    My son (when he was little) and I when watching red carpet shows would rate the "looks". He used to say, like the girl, love the dress, and so on. Still makes me giggle.

    She looks so pretty. I would have done the same thing.
    Last night I was talking to Abe about a picnic in Central Park, describing the friends who will be there, and I got choked up when I started describing Meazi.
