Look at that whirlwind of gathering! It's got that F2F energy.

We had the family gathering at our house and just ordered (fancy) pizza. And it was great.

JZ's matron of honor, Charlotte, came back from her tea with Matilda and hung with us. And she's got a fun, bawdy energy, and so does my SiL Angela, so that kept things fun.

But I'm very weary now after all the doing and now the socializing.

But tomorrow will be about 85% socializing so that should be easier for this extrovert.

I'm so looking forward to seeing everybody.

Going to skip the meet up, but I will see you all tomorrow.

I'm up. I showered and shaved. I'm dressed but not dressed for event yet.

I have to head out and buy several rolls of painter's tape to secure some of the collage posters to the walls at the venue. Others will go on mantels, and others go on the previously referenced easels.

Then all I have to do is get fancy, go early with Emmett to set up the photos, and greet people.

Oop, I forgot to post that 8:30am post.

I am actually dressed for the event and about to go over with Emmett to set up the pictures.

I am dressed, I have on murder lipstick (Tom Ford Black Dahlia), and I await being summoned to corset someone. The whole film noir widow look is better without the glasses. Tempted to leave them in my purse.

I don’t even own any makeup so the fanciest I get is my nails. Floridian dress.

Also, in random notes. My Broward county library newsletter informs me that as a senior I get free NYT access. I subscribe anyway, but thought that was a nice perk.

I am at the venue, although no one has recognized me yet; I blame the mask.

The urge to watch'n'post is damn near irresistible.

Is anyone else trying to livestream? It went for about 25 seconds with a lovely picture of JZ, and now that is all that is there.

Nevermind! I fou d it in the comments below.
