Sure, Mama.  Suuuuuure.

Hester bounding around on the bed is tied to something that happened to my sister, cousin, and I when we were younger.  My aunt and uncle decided to have Thanksgiving at Monterey one year, so my parents packed me and my sis into the car and drove to the bay for a very cold weekend trip.  The hotel we were staying at was huge, like, they had a giant brass staircase with a fancy chandelier and piano player in the lobby.  Our cousin got me and my sister to join her sliding down the banister, which was a lot of fun until our parents told us to knock it off because this lady kept having to clean the railing and was getting pretty annoyed.  My cousin stayed in our hotel room to "babysit" us and we all ended up bouncing across the beds pretending that the ground was the ocean instead of watching 'The Santa Clause' and our grandpa had to come to the door to tell us to stop because we were apparently annoying the neighbors.  Lesson learned!

Haha!  She infuses a lot of fun into the storyline!

Ma is being way too suspicious for this person to be a "friend" friend...

Putting on a corset by yourself sounds awful and you captured that well with her face xD Does not look fun! Hester makes me wants to jump on a bed again..

Haha!  Thanks!  She's much too proud to ask for help from a hotel maid (or Hester xP).

Oh wow, 'meet a friend huh' *eyebrow acrobatics* would this be a gentleman friend of the fancy-pants variety?

We were never allowed to jump on beds, at my grandma's house if we did that she'd come up the stairs and give everyone a slap - lesson learned - then you got a slap from mummy too - double assault.  But honestly in hotels they put the beds in the perfect locations to invite jumping between them

What's Hester going to do while this meeting is going on exactly, there's no tv!

Mama sure is a champ handling that corset all on her own.

On a side note, I always wanted one of those changing screens!

LadyPep In reply to Sleyf [2018-02-17 19:45:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, no doubt!  She didn't spring for a fancy new dress to just see a regular ol chum...

Ouch!  Especially since those beds are so big and cushy-looking!

...Hope she brought a book!

She'd rather do it herself than ask for help; she's got a proud streak that's a mile wide.

Me too!  They're so expensive though!  That reminds me--my friend's sister had a cardboard cutout of Legolas that she used as a makeshift changing screen. xD

LOL! Ok a cardboard cutout of Legolas as a changing screen is a bit weird, i mean, did she turn it to look at her...or just hide behind it

I really don't know!  I had to use it one time and I made sure he was facing the other way because it would have been too awkward otherwise. xD

What is it about staying in a hotel that is just SO EXCITING? Like even when I'm 20 it's still exciting xD

LadyPep In reply to Khrysaetos [2018-02-17 16:23:45 +0000 UTC]

Really tho!!!  I haven't been able to stay in one for a while since my family likes doing air b&b, but I don't mind that either since it's a cool new house to live in for a week!

It's apparently a date. I wouldn't think she'd need to look that nice for Trenton.
