I have neglected my blog for far too long. Please accept my apologies - I am sure that you have all been just waiting on pins and needles for the next pearls of wisdom and wit to by typed out for all to read here on my little blog.
Steve's stint adventure went well - two more so he is fully spring loaded (for those of you that do not get the joke: the stints, at first glance, look like the spring out of a ball point pin). He of course went to work today but promised that he would go home if he got too tired.
Washington DC finally got hit with some snow. Darn it, it was not enough to close down anything - just wet and ugly. I was really hoping for a snow day, but alas. The schools were already closed for some random teacher meeting thing so the roads were pretty uninhabited this morning.
This coming Saturday I am volunteering at our Diocesan convention to be held at the National Cathedral. I will be a voting marshall. While sounding very important, I have the feeling I will be standing, Vanna-like, and saying, "This way to vote please!" The real question is: what does one wear when one is a marshall at a Diocesan Convention? Just as all roads lead to Rome, all events lead to the question, "What do I wear?"

Oh how I have missed your blog. In my head I am picturing black slacks and an brilliant red sweater. I feel like that screams voting marshall!
Yes, with sensible et sassy flats because the Cathedral floor is HARD.
The best will be if you get some sort of sash. That would rock.
I have some new black ballet flats I think will work well.
A sash would be AWESOME!
We have a rule in this group that that if one member wears a sash the others get copies of the photographs. ;-)
Dear Jesus,
Please let Ms Ann get a sash. Love Abby
I will e-mail the volunteer coordinator post haste and suggest sashes for the marshalls. Pictures, of course, would be distributed to all interested parties
I'm pretty sure that Erin wasn't talking about a Miss America sash. More like a pirate around the waist sash.
How about a flassy sash that says MADAM MARSHALL IN FLASHING LIGHTS???
A PIRATE sash!?! Sweet Cracker Sandwiches I had not even thought of that. Combined with the the flashing lights that could be quite the ensemble.
Do you think it would be too ostentatious? After all this is church we are talking about....
I was thinking the kind of sash that Parade Marshalls wear. The kind that say "MARSHALL". Really going out on a limb there...
What could be better: the Girl Scout sash with your accomplishments sewn on. ONLY if you wear a beret though. Thats what makes that work. And a wagon of cookies will win you friends too.
No brown beanie with matching knee socks? There's a look we all want to re live!
I didn't get far enough in the girls scouts to wear the outfits. I didn't like the rules. Why couldn't I use a real knife? They want me to go door to door selling cookies but they won't give me real silverware? I don't think so. However, I would like to see you in a sash and beret. :-)
If I looked far enough---I could probably find a neat green beret and a sash with lots of accomplishments - - - but I'm not gonna look - don't want to get banned from this blog
