Hat Trick

It seems like years ago but there was some gift exchanging at Christmas and I never talked about it. Matt and I don't really go all out on gifts. We just do stockings and fill them with fun and thoughtful stuff. I was pretty bad this year so I definitely did not deserve presents and also, in all honesty, I have all I need, plus plenty more. I did get the Glee cds from Matt and I cannot stop listening to them. For some reason I clean like a maniac when they are on, maybe they should be thrown out and there will be a return to the status quo...
For our wedding, Matt and I got a antique stained glass window from my parents (yes, this has to do with Christmas gifts, just wait...). Unfortunately, there was an accident involving the stained glass, a couch, some one's butt and my tears... It couldn't really be repaired because it would be too hard to match the antique glass panels that shattered. So, the centre design (which is still intact) is going to be removed and the entire outside will be redone in the style of the original window. My parents are paying for this fix as my birthday and Christmas present. When the window is repaired, all asses will be asked to stay far away from our wedding window....
In addition to that, my parents also gave me three wickedly awesome hats they got from an antique market. My dad has such a good eye for this stuff... I'm going to start being extra nice to engaged people this year because I need a wedding to wear the purple headpiece to. It's a little non-typical but I can rock that. So, if you are engaged and you need a friend, let me know. I'm a pretty awesome bridesmaid too...references available on request (just let me wear the headpiece with the bridesmaid dress, ok?).

And this pretty lady I thrifted just before our family gift exchange... how random is that? I'd totally wear this too. Sigh. I love my hat family...
