Oh, hey.

This week I've been trying really hard to stay calm and collected, but so far, it hasn't really been happening.

Because we needed more tables than expected, the linens ended up being 400 dollars. To rent. For a day. SERIOUSLY? Highway robbery for renting stuff like that, holy cats. Luckily, after a tearful and inaudible phone call with my mom, she came to my rescue, again, and offered to help me pay the extra I wasn't expecting to cover. Have I mentioned lately how much I love her?!
Really though, someone at work had an AWESOME idea. To lay butcher paper on the tables, so people could draw and write well wishes while eating/mingling/ect. Too bad we already bought all the stuff to make the centerpieces! They would clash too much, and my mom's head about exploded when I told her we were thinking about doing that instead of linen. However, I will be setting up some tables like this off to the side, so the kids who get dragged come to the wedding won't be completely and utterly bored. I even thought about how to make cute crayon centerpieces. Oh, well. Maybe at the 2nd wedding.
The caterer T and I got a chunk of the foodz shopping done. Cups, plates, and non-perishable items. I guess I won't make my guests eat with their bare hands, so we got some utensils too. That stuff wasn't very expensive at all, thanks to Cash N' Carry. It's like a Costco/Restaurant supply store. But super cheap!!
In other news, look what came in the mail today!



The only drawback is it's a men's size medium. If I were a streetwalker, it'd make for a great mini-dress. I have as much patience as well, someone who doesn't, and needed to have a Posey shirt NOW. Luckily it's cotton and I have full intentions to shrink it up. I found another one on eBay, that I thought was hilarious, but N wouldn't let me get it, because he feared I'd get leered at too much in public. Still might need it, to wear around the house!

Until next time,
