Dream Walking

On Saturday I attended the wedding of a friend I’ve known since birth.  Needless to say, I was excited and happy to share in the joy of her special day.  On top of that this church was amazing! It was a catherdral whose benefactor was none other than John D Rockefeller. Check it out for yourself: http://rockefeller.uchicago.edu/

During the ceremony I was gazing at the amazing stained glass windows and stone work in the cieling, when I felt a tap on my leg from an Auntie a few feet away to my left.  ”Monay…turn around…there is a nice looking girl behind you…her mom is a friend of mine.”  If that wasn’t awkward enough.  Apparently Auntie did not have an inside voice, and her outside voice was heard by everyone around me.  I responded with an awkward chuckle and told auntie to tell me about her later.  While this was the most awkward hookup moment,  the reception yielded itself to more mentions of single ladies from several aunties.  They all used Joe the Plumber descriptions followed by “she’s good looking” to describe these girls.  I.E.  ”Betsy the engineer…she’s good looking!”  ”Suzy the nurse…she’s good looking!” and “Julie the MBA…she’s good looking!”

The joke of the night had to be me.  Caught up in catching up with friends and families I had not seen in awhile, I did not take the time to meet anyone new.  In the words of my sister, “For shame!”

Til next time I bid you adieu.
