Omigosh. 2 seconds to write. This is me. Totally unscripted and unedited. Hi. If you’ve emailed me or left an incredibly thoughtful comment here, I, like, totally love you and will respond when I have some time to respond equally thoughtfully to you.

It’s total chaos over here right now. I just got my hair and makeup done. Two francophone women did such a gorgeous job. (My mom got in a total fight with the hair stylist [who just so happens to be Loreal's hair stylist of the year!] but we’ll not get into that here — not a good blogging move.) I’ll definitely get pictures for you. I don’t even look like myself! Anyway, everyone’s stressed. The monkey’s all-of-a-sudden become a clinger. She won’t let go of her mom. SCREAMS all night unless I put her in bed with me — granted, we’re sleeping in the same room over here — so, I can’t even leave the room and plug my ears…. She just stands there screaming, big eyes bigger and red and all sad….So, I’m a little tired.

Kay. Off and running. Gotta go take pictures now. FUN. I hate pictures. My speech is written, though. Managed to make it ahiite (how the f– do you spell that?). It’s only just a little cheesy. Kay. Later!
