It's Me, Sara Louise

When we last left off our weekend in Toulon with Brother-in-Law and Child Bride at Mr. & Mrs. London’s house, Brother-in-Law was sitting on an office chair at the top of a steep driveway wearing a Hello Kitty mask. But before that happened, it was Friday night…

The match was over, another victory for Toulon, another chance to celebrate. And the best way to celebrate is with free Rosé and canapes at the reception after the match. It’s a nice and civil way to start the evening. That civility lasted for all of about one hour because check this out… Mrs. London and I found out something startling… Child Bride had never been to a night club… never ever. So obviously we had a mission. The boys were going to a party and us ladies were going out to let Child Bride see what all the fuss is about.

(It’s funny how Child Bride’s nightclub experience is only beginning as mine is coming to a close. Ah youth, I knew you well.)

Child Bride had a fantastic time. Look at her smiling up there in that fuzzy photo. Loving life she was. And there’s Mrs. London to her left in a pink sequined fedora that she took off some guys head, and of course me, pretending that I’m not one week away from turning thirty grumble grumble blah blah years old.

After the guys met up with us (The Husband, Brother-in-Law, and Mr. London… you know, the guys), we headed home in time for a 4AM spatula fight. You haven’t lived until you’ve fenced with spatulas at 4AM (or had one broken over your head… The Husband really is sorry about that Mr. London).

And then morning came. I got out of bed, had my coffee, and spent sometime staring at an office chair. It looked sad, and like it had no purpose. And that’s when the light bulb in my head dinged. EUREKA! Not only did that office chair have a purpose, it had a destiny, and that destiny was to take Brother-in-Law for a ride down a steep driveway.  I took the chair to Brother-in-Law and asked him if he could help that sad office chair fulfill it’s destiny, and he said he would (of course he did). So he put his Hello Kitty mask on, and took the chair up to the top of the driveway.

And then this happened…
