The Blessed Event Eve...Day

Hi.....it's me...Annie Grace.....

I can feel the pressure and anxiety mounting. The Lady has finally removed her horrifying red lipstick and I am able to watch and listen to her for about 10 minutes while she is fluttering about....all while once again...."experimenting with color". Today she is wearing "Shocking Pink" which is appropriately named....

1. It's PINK

2. I am shocked that she thought it would look good upon purchasing it.

3. More shocked that upon opening it she still thought it would look good!!

4. Shocked that she has now applied bedazzled pink lip gloss over it.



This is the day in which everyone doubts their ornament selection.

They worry...is it good enough?

Can I hold my head up in front of 18 other ornament contenders?

Did I REALLY search for the perfect ornament or did I just settle?

Will I win? Do I get the Sacred Crown?

Will I even be one of the top 3?

Is it wrapped perfectly? (I honestly think only The Lady worries about this one!)

The food is being prepared, my fur clumps have been vacuumed up, Merry is positioned elegantly in the center of the table and visions of sugar plum fairies with a sacred crown are dancing in everyone's head.
