Tuesday June 24th I traveled to Lexington with Joanne (aka QM) to Miss Priss and the Wedding Center. Together we found three knockout gowns and I had my official baptism into the world of BLING. In other words we purchased tons of earrings (BIG, FABULOUS earrings)!

Friday June 27th I was back in Frankfort. This time I was invited by the Senate. I was honored on the Senate Floor and Resolution number 18 was issued in my name. The President of the Senate then invited me to the podium where I shared with the Senate my platform and thanked them for their hard work and efforts. Noa'Sosa went along on this visit and as usual he was a HIT! He too was recognized and received a Special Page in the Senate honoring him.

While I was there I found another dress, number 5 to be exact! It had to be ordered! So she would not let me buy earrings. I have to wait until it arrives so that the match is just right!
