DAMN ARMS.....

A sent me the mock up of the shrug she is making. The final product will be out of lace but the mock up was made of muslin. Of course the ol' arms were too big for it. She is going to try and make another one with larger and longer sleeves and send it back. Maybe I'll win the lottery one of these days and have something done to make them more proportionate! haa haa!!!

I'm gonna kick some butt!!!

I received an email from my bestfriend and MOH. It appears that her other bestfriend that I am also friends with had just called her with his "good news".
Apparently he has been dating this girl for 3 weeks and they decided over the weekend to get married. ON MAY 2ND!!!
Now I KNOW for a fact that the boy knew I was planning a wedding for the same day. I almost had a bridezilla moment over the whole thing...I just wanted to drive to Houston and kick his BUTT!!!!
On the positive side (for me anyway). He is notorious for meeting women and getting engaged within weeks. He has done this about 5 times since his divorce but they always break up within 6 months. So while I know this one probably won't last either it irritates the daylights out of me that he would "take my day".

Things I need to do....

1. Get Mr. D to help me put together our guest list...names only at this time we'll deal with addresses.


2. disown my flaky sister who can't even be trusted to download a cd of pictures I took of the wedding venue a.k.a. my friends vacation home.


3. cake tastings...another thing I'm wanting to disown my sister over. She thinks I should go for something "local" that I can get near the wedding site. Ummm....there isn't even a grocery store much less a REAL BAKERY in the nearest town. I WILL have a cake that is yummy not just cardboard covered in lard.


4. SHOES


5. under garments for the dress


6. someone to perform the ceremony


7. more nifty old china plates


8. glasses to drink out of


9. 3 or 4 small glass vases to hold the bouquets while we eat.

I know there is more I'm missing.
