I Heart Confetti
This little piece of heart confetti made quite a journey over the course of its tiny life. First from the factory to the store, then from the store to my house. It was dumped out of the bag and funneled into a balloon. It rode the mile and a half to the party store to get helium, and all the way back to my house, floating near the ceiling of my car. Then the party started. A bridal shower. The confetti, contained in a balloon, went from one room to the other with a guest, then eventually back to the foyer, where the balloon was popped. The confetti fell to the floor, where it resisted vacuuming and clung to the feet of innocent passersby. That was in July. It is now October, and the day of the wedding. This maverick confetti, which I just discovered on the upstairs carpet, eluded capture for 3 months. The bride eluded capture for 28 years.
