Mischief Managed

I really felt like a character in a Betty Neels novel today. No, not the heroine. I was the crotchety ancillary staff person who has to make alterations on the nurses uniforms. By 8:00am the following day. Muttering sourly.

I made seven nurses aprons today...for my nine year old niece Lauren's school play. What play calls for seven nurses? I'm just wondering. I'll feel much better about the whole project once I get it in the mail on Monday. When it's not looming over my head like a glacier ready to calve.

  1. Now what about Shayla's apron? :D

  2. By rights you should smoke like a chimney, drop your 'aiches, and have bunions. What kind of ancillary staff are you anyway?

  3. Which niece is this that the job of sewing 7 aprons falls on you, Betty Debbie? Is the great advantage of a large family is many hands make light work?

    But I do love Betty Keira's idea of ancillary staff.

    Oh, and I'm reading Sun & Candlelight. I really want us (you as a group?) (Betty Debbie all by herself??) to do a chart of heroes: I'm suspecting Sarre to be in the "fell in love with her by end of Chapter One but doesn't tell her, which leads to her assuming all sorts of wrong things when he later seems sad" category. But don't tell me how it ends -- I don't want any spoilers! (tee hee)

  4. Lauren is Betty Sherri's youngest...and yes, at times many hands do make light work. At times...

    Betty Keira: Does it count that I was really good at the muttering souring? And instead of smoking like a chimney, I was popping tropical flavored Starburst (surely just as bad for you). I seldom drop my 'aitches, but at times I do have a fine disregard for grammer...and punctuation.

  5. Thank you oh many handed wonder Betty: for mailing me The Hasty Marriage!! And Betty Magdalen, you were SO kind to give away your prize. I now have three Bettys and I am On The Road to finding more!!

    Seven aprons? What's the play: seven nurses for seven doctors? Oh noes, that's Betty books!!
