I bought a new Barbie doll to have something to try my knitted clothes on, and it came with an additional doll as well, like the little "Kelly" dolls. Once I got it home, though, I realized that the "Kelly" doll wasn't a little girl doll at all, but an alien doll, which was sort of cool, but it turned out that the Barbie doll wasn't a Barbie, either, but some kind of alien with a weird, contorted face and four arms.

I tried breaking off two of the arms (one on each side, of course), but it still didn't seem right. It was just too strange.

I went to Jessamyn's wedding, then was going to go to the reception afterwards. I couldn't remember where it was, though--we had directions, but it said it was in Bristol, Missouri, and I had no idea where that was. So while I was searching around for directions and trying to figure out how to get there, Bob apparently went on without me, because before I could even leave, he came back, said he, Bob and Tim were the only ones there, so they left.

I feel badly, and wonder if anyone will be there. I hope everyone else will be able to find it, and hope that they were just late.

I realize that I've forgotten to bring my camera, and can't decide whether to go home and get it, or go somewhere and buy a disposable one. Then I realize we're just a couple of blocks from home, and Bob says, "Don't you want to go home and change anyway?" and I see that I'm wearing a wedding dress, and of course I would want to change into jeans and a t-shirt, but would everyone change, or would I be underdressed?

Then I realize I probably shouldn't be wearing my big wedding ring, either--earlier, I had been given the wedding diamond, which clipped on to my other ring somehow like clip-on sunglasses--a huge, diamond cut into points at both sides. I feel my finger (I think I actually did feel my finger in my sleep, and realize that I've already taken the ring off, so that's good.
