Posted by MagicalMehendi Last fall a woman contacted me to do her daughter's bridal mehendi. Her daughter was getting married in the Seattle area but she lives in LA. So we playeed tag for several months trying to get something arranged. At one point the mom just said to reserve the date for them. So finally all the planets aligned and a date was found that she was here and I wasn't book and we made the date for the consultation. A few days before the consult my mother-in-law passed away. I was on my way to the funeral when I stopped for the consult. I mentioned this to them, and they said "oh we could have rescheduled" and my reply way "oh no we coulnd't have, took months for this already". so while I was there for the consult, my husband ran over across town to get his little brother. they got stuck in traffic and were an hour late picking me up, but the bride and her mother were very gracious while I sat there. So last week the big day arrives. I have to leave my house around 11am to make it to the appointment at 1. So early in the morning my son wanted a ride to school. I just woke up, hair askew, grabbed the younger son and with the oldest we pile into the Jeep. No shoes, no cell phone and in our jammies. The school is less than 2 miles away. We pull into the parking lot and the radiator blew. It took me 30 minutes to limp home (all downhill too). I had to stop twice to let the engine cool down. I get home finally and call my husband to come home. We live across the street from where he works, very luckily. It's the radiator for sure, but it can be fixed easily if there's a radiator in stock. I finally get there. The henna finally gets done and after all those obsticles I feel it was fantastic! It was the hardest to get to, but so far the turned out the best. The party was great too, first time this season the mehendi night was held outdoors in tents (which is what I see more often in California). --Previous Message--

There was a bride last year, she picked stuff from the Suhaag magazine, the tops of the arms were the hornblowers. It was a long job and we sat on the floor for it, which threw my back out by the next day. But the result of that night was the best...until last week.
In the meantime it's determined that I need to drive the '79 Suburban. It's loud, it's dinged up, it's a gas hog, but it's reliable. It's also awaiting a trip to the dump and is full of garbage including our old mattress and box springs. Well I cannot drive this to the ritzy neighborhood like that....lol.
So hubby and oldest son go do the dump run. And because we live on an island we have to cross a bridge to go to the mainland. 1 mile into the mainland there was a fatal accident and traffic was crawling. So they were 20 minutes late getting back.
FINALLY I can get on the road, by now traffic is at a complete standstill. I had to take a 20 mile detour. I'll be an hour late to the appointment.
