For the last 2 weeks I worked on my dress ( adding lace and making a spider web patch to cover the pink skull and cross bones) as well as making my fascinator from scratch!
I had planned on making my dress but due to time and financial problems, I decided to just change a few things on a dress that I know fits me and looks nice.
So I've been planning my outfit for weeks and the day finally arrived, unfortunately we slept in. So we were running late from the get go. This was followed by us taking forever to get ready and we finally got out of the house at 1:30. Our driver was supposed to attend a car show and when I got out of the car and said " Have fun at the car show" he replied " We aren't going now." Which I was surprised about but didn't give much thought to because we were so excited to finally get to our destination. We had no trouble getting in and found our friends without any trouble. After speaking to my friends they told us that there had been no races today because they were having a "roo" problem ( A "roo" is short for kangaroo) Then, over the loud speaker we heard that there would be no races for the entire day! It was crazy! There are always roo's at Hanging Rock, besides, we ARE in Australia!
Anyway, a fantastic time was had by all. Once we got home and changed my friend and a I went off and just talked and chilled before he had to go home. I had organised my mum to drive us to the station because I knew I would be over the limit.
On the return drive home, the silence was deafening me and despite me efforts to make conversation I was only met with single word responses. Closer to home mum pointed out to me and I was the hight of selfishness and rudeness to sleep in and then take forever to get ready causing our driver to miss the car meet he wanted to attend and then "disappearing"( how anyone disappears is unknown to me) once we got back and not having the dinner that had been prepared for us. To be honest, I had no idea that dinner had been made for us, ( but was counted with " you always have tea made for you" Um, so it's still my fault that I didn't know it was on the table). I honestly didn't mean to sleep in, I should have set the alarm, or made a time of departure with the driver, ensuring that we were leaving at X time or be without a lift. I feel like there is serious lack of communication among the members of my household, which I can predict, will be of my fault. So yes currently Mum is not speaking to me , I asked to be let out of the car and I went to the pub for a few hours and walked home at about 10ish.
I feel bad and rather sad that such an amazing fun day, that I put so much time and effort in to my outfit ended on such a sour note. In addition to this, all the photos that I have seen of me are awful, eyes shut or too dark or just poor pose. Mind you my fabulous company looked amazing in all the photos of him, which i am genuinely happy about, i just wish there had been a nice photo of us together. . . .
i feel so deflated and very very sad face...
Here's one of the photos that turned out too dark, taken by the T.A.C promo girls
Here's our " silly " photo
The Australia Day races I thought I was attending with my friends may not be occurring as I had hoped, my friends who said they were attending may not be, making me feel pretty sad. I have spend 2 weeks organising my dress and fascinator. Regardless, I'll be in attendance with a close freind of mine regardless.
