Margo's got Moxie ! : the diary of miss red high heels

I went to a wedding last weekend for a really good friend of mine from Fresno. I stayed with some family friends and wanted to make sure her day was special. There was a lot of planning involved and some people butt heads a little to make sure everything went smoothly, but all in all it turned out beautiful. In fact, the day of, I woke up at 5am since the dog I was watching was begging to be listened to. From that time forward, I grabbed coffee and headed to the salon to have my hair and makeup done. What a joy not to have to put anything on my face or brush my hair! It only had to be washed. I arrived there at 7:15am to let the groom's momma sleep in.  The stylist brought us orange juice and muffins. I was thrilled because I am positive without those and my coffee, I'd have been dead to the world! She fixed all the gals up and we actually looked really pretty. I normally don't wear all the fuss on my face so it looked nice. Her sister was worried about a few things and ...

You wouldn't know it if you looked at me or talked to me, but I am actually self conscious. Funny, how someone like you they say, could be like that. This is a conscious choice of mine and has come with a lot of growth, but also with learning to love myself. My body as people claim they wish they had, is actually fragile and susceptible to bone fracture more than the average person. I am pretty bony, but I wear that with taking care of my body and strengthening my muscles every day. I strengthen my core, my back, and toughen up my skin to stay in shape, but also to stay healthy.  You wouldn't know it if you didn't ask, that I prefer to read a book before I see the movie. I like to challenge my siblings to silly duels, even if I know it is clear I won't win. You wouldn't know it if you didn't look closely, that my eyes have a tint of green in them and that I won't be caught dead wearing yellow. If you knew me, you would know that fitness is important, small...

Last week, I went to my friend's wedding shower, or should I say worked at. Before you get all huffy about that I was put to slavery, I wasn't. I volunteered to set up and clean up the event, which I actuallty enjoyed. I am someone who isn't a huge fan of the crazy and fluff at a shower and a bunch of ladies crooning and such over gifts and yada yada. I think the event is nice for that person, but if it were me, I wouldn't do it. I guess I say that now and it will change, who knows. She had tray tiers full of catered food and I bought some extra just in case, made an appetizer to go with it. We had dessert too, which I thankfully took very little of! My friend felt loved and enjoyed having her mom and sister as part of the party and to me that makes the best part for me to help clean so they could do just that. The drive was a tad far, 3 1/2 hours down to Clovis, but it was worth it. I think I really just wanted to make sure she was having a good time, and that she woul...
