My weekend starts at 7pm today! woooo! I'm excited! All I need to do tonight is rush home, pick up a few things, feed the kids and make sure they have enough water to last the 2 days that I'm leaving them and then shoot away bound for "home home" in Birmingham. Off to see my family for my sisters wedding tomorrow!
My mum checked with me yesterday if I had everything I needed and she has been to get me a new pair of trousers :) basically I think she doesn't believe me when I say I haven't scuffed up the bottom of the smart pair I already own! I have a shirt, tie and jacket too which I'm quite excited about wearing!
I also got my mum to get me some "smuggling sweets" for the wedding.. basically pocket suitable quiet sweets, nothing that will melt/rustle/leak/go sticky.. Nothing beats good planning for a wedding!
My dad is giving my sister away (at the wedding not just in general :P) and whenever my dad does anything posh, he always wears his kilt (not for fun, we have Scottish ancestry)
Well.. I was thinking, at some point I will need a kilt too, and all the other stuff too.. Fancy jacket and socks and all that. I will learn the names for all the stuff one day, I know most but can't spell for my life so "all that" will cover it for now! So yeah, anyway, I want to get all of that but I think that will be a long time down the line before my mum and dad are ok enough to respect me for wearing it rather than thinking it's weird and dis-respectful. Besides, it might be after surgery that I can then be a true Scotsman! haha
I don't really want to leave the kids but will be good to go home, and I'll be back on Sunday morning anyway. Sunday is a BBQ for the women's rugby team I used to play for, very excited about that :D Going to go for attempt no.2 at facial hair for it :D they're all really supportive so i figure if it all goes horribly wrong it's a safe environment for it :) I tend to think, and this is pure conjecture, that when I have applied stubble, regardless of how people know me and habit may play a small role but then people wont make mistakes with my name or pronouns as much..
Getting to a point where I know exactly who tries to do it right and who doesn't, I know it's harder for some than others but to be still having to correct yourself EVERY time means you're just not trying!! I'm sorry but it's just dis-respectful now. Most people have got it down though which is awesome :) It is so great to forget that I once wasn't Tom! To be consistently referred to as "he" :D love it
