This was an interesting weekend. I went to a second wedding reception for Winemonkey’s friend. It was interesting to say the least. The wife of the couple grew up in a cult. I am not joking, only a few families removed from the Manson family. And so there were a lot of people there who looked homeless (i.e. scraggly beards, long unkept hair, no fashion sense). I can’t even get into the details of how weird the dynamics were in this group. Suffice to say, the groom’s little brother and his friend played an accoustic set of hard rock only to be followed by some “homeless” man playing the bagpipes. Who didn’t like Winemonkey yelling the phrase, “We’ve got a piper down!” no matter how great his scottish accent was.

But that point of the story is not about these guys. It is about this guy I have always had an affinity for. He is genuinely nice and the strangest, yet coolest guy in Winemonkey’s circle of friends. He was standing next to me when we first got there and it was just the two of us and he commented on how beautiful my blue eyes were. Now, if you knew this guy you would know that this wasn’t him hitting on me or anything of the like. He was just being sincere. And then he commented on how his compliment made me blush and then, to make the comment a little less out of the blue, we talked about my angry school marm look. You know the one. Where I peer over my glasses at you. Regardless… it was flattering and completely unexpected. And it made me like the guy that much more.

Then, later on, during our second tour through the party, the groom’s brother’s wife asked me to model for her. On the premise that she didn’t like the skinny 17-18 year old models who looked sick and that she loved my hair and skin. She is a hair stylist so I will get a cut and dye job from her and make-up from someone who does make-up and then go to a photo shoot. It would be one thing if it was going to be someone I didn’t know cutting and dying my hair, but she has already cut my hair successfully.

It was a good weekend. And next weekend? I get to work at the winery and GRAPES are coming in!!!!!!!!!! So I will get to meet the winemaker and the owners of the winery that Winemonkey is currently working for. And I get to make my famous fried chicken. YAY!
