Recap!

The Fairy Godparent idea was smart we thought, it confused a few people. A rumour was even started that we had gotten married at a registry earlier that day and didn't want to tell anyone because we're broke (everyone has an uncle like that don't they?) The man and I kinda spent almost 3/4's of the night in his office trying to get the wings to work. I started getting fed up and upset that he could have done them ages ago and so I was only seen for the last hour. But the party girl had a good time and that's all that matters!

We made the LED's turn on by using ourselves as currents. When we touched or kissed the lights would light up, wires were running through my bodice and down under my corset which I paid dearly for. I'd forgotten about my reaction to cheap metals. He used the inner guts of a Cat 5 cable (usually used for internet/cabling) as the connection to my skin and I broke out on my arm and on my chest for the next week! So he now knows that this little black duck will only be able to wear pure gold, silver, platinum or white gold :P

The little sisters play was very good. The man couldn't make it along to the play as he caught my cold (sharing is caring right?). Out of all the practices and the 3 previous shows she did the corset was fine, on the last show one of the bones was starting to peek through. I found her 'backstage' in the classrooms behind the  hall and saw the problem, located a stapler on a girls desk and 'click'. Fixed it. Legend that I am. My sister and brother in law with my niece weren't there for all of it. Little miss 6 month old didn't want to hang out with us at dinner or at the play and proceeded to howl and whinge the whole time! With her dad she was a demon, put her with mum and she was fine. She has those two wrapped around her little finger.

I'll have to get some photos of the corset finished, I did it in a rush and drove down to hand it over for her first rehearsal minutes before she had to go inside.
