Zip It

About 2 months ago my aunt told me she was getting married.

Yay, right?

Um, not so fun when you can't share it with anyone. I was sworn to secrecy.

See, my Cousin T had just gotten engaged that same weekend.
So my aunt told me I had to keep it a secret. She didn't want to steal Cousin T's moment. Yup, she's sweet like that. 
FINALLY, it's out in the open. She's holding it in Arizona...next month.

Originally we thought the wedding would take place in Niagara, which is a 2hr drive from Toronto. Easy Peasy. But now S and I are scrambling to book a flight to Arizona.

Here's a snippet of our phone convo. It's a typical example of how I can't hold his attention for more than 2 minutes when he's working:

Ela: Hon, do you know if flight prices change throughout the day? And if they do, do you know what time they are cheapest?

S: Hmmm....that's a really good question. 

Side Note: Um, hello, do I ask any other kind?

S: [Pause]. Let me put it this way...

Long pause. (Ela silent with anticipation)

S: I...don't know.

Ela: Well, since you put it that way (rolling eyes) then that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. Remind me again why I tell you "you're the smartest man I know"?

S: [Chuckles] Oh wait.

Pause. (Ela *again* silent with anticipation)

S: It's 36 hours.

Ela: What is?

S: To drive there. Non-stop. 
Ela: Was that even at option? [Definitely NOT an option]
S: But wait. We could leave from Detroit!

Ela: ??? Mmmkay...we'd still have to drive to Detroit first, which would still make it a 36hr drive. Either way you cut it, babe...still 36 hours.
S: Huh? No. Fly from Detroit...

Ela: ??? Um

S: [Chuckles] Sorry, I think you've lost me. I should get back to work.

Thankfully, I don't let our convos lead me to think two minutes of me is actually the maximum amount of time a person can handle. As if. Hello, give me at least 5. However, I've come to accept that unless I can integrate technical jargon into our conversation, if there's something I need to say that requires a coherent response, I better make it quick. At least when he's at work.

Anyway, back to what I was saying, ever had a secret you were dying to share?
xx Ela

p.s. In case you didn't know, this is what I look like when I'm "zipping it". Weird, it's also what I look like when I'm picking crumbs off my lips. I tried the finger at the mouth to say "shhhhh"...that didn't work out so well. I did however, manage to channel Austin Powers. 

This tee had me at the zipper. I love that it actually works, I can zip it up midway as I did here OR if I really wanted to, and had the waist of 6 month old, I could zip it up all the way to my chest.

  

Tee -F21, Ankle Zip Pants - Zara, Backzip Heels - Jessica Simpson 

Ring - Winners
 
It's hard to tell but this ring has 10 hearts dangling from it. I just heart it.
Happy weekend, everyone!
p.p.s. The night I wore this, S told me I looked "different somehow" that I looked "Asian". Seriously, I'm speechless. After 15 years...wtheck did he think I was?
