My life in the last few days

SIL's "wedding" is this weekend so we must all hail down to her or we will be surgically removing her buoquet from our behinds.

She bought a sample dress from a store that was going out of business and it was dirty.....she waits till 3 days before the wedding to take it to be cleaned and no business will do it for her. So she's pissed. I'm pretty sure she has no right to be mad about that. 

I'm still hunting for the perfect job but its moving soslow so I may have to go part time at Barnes and Nobles while I continue my search because Fall is coming and thats when I do most of my shopping for the year. No joke. 

Cody's asleep...and I'm wide awake....bored.....minus the hint of ambien starting to kick in....this should get interesting.

  • That cake looks like something from the 1980's!  Or at least what I imagine a 1980's cake would look like.  Ugh.  Hopefully it'll taste good!

    What kind of shopping do you do for the whole year?  Clothes?  Food?

  • Clothes for sure. I love fall clothes like cardigans and new jeans and new boots, and new scarves. I love fall.

  • As a pastry chef... I will now be having nightmares of this cake when I go to bed.  IIIIICCCCCKKKKK!  I friggen hate cakes like that.  Why people even ask for columns - MUCH LESS STAIRS - on a cake anymore just boggles my mind.  Gag.

     On a lighter note... I've already started my scarf shopping!  I bought 2 this week! HAHAHA!  And I LIVE in cardigans!

  • Oh my gosh, I need you all to stop talking about fall!  We have the SHORTEST summer here, so even though it's been a nice toasty 25-30 degrees here lately, I am NOT looking forward to when the temperature drops abruptly in the second week of September!!

  • That cake is unbelievable. In a bad way.

    And your SIL has nobody to blame about her dress but herself. I took my dress to be pressed six weeks before my wedding! The cleaners thought I was nuts, but my thought was that if they somehow destroyed the dress, I wanted time to come up with a Plan B!

  • That cake is horrible....but is eerily similar to the one my cousin had at her wedding last June.  They did the faux cake for cutting & pictures and then did sheet cake, but man alive was the faux ugly!!!  It was 3 tiers I believe, with the fountain underneath the bottom, and columns giving it height under the top tier!  Atrocious IMO.....not sure why they thought that was still in style.  Never ceases to amaze me, and thank goodness it at least tasted good!
  • Stephers I am sorry not only is your SIL a freak of nature so is her cake I will say prayers for you this weekend while I am sitting by the pool having drinks brought to me and you are in a living hell. Hugs!!!
  • pretty please document the freak events that occur at your SIL's wedding!
