[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
We don't have a china pattern, namely because of the breakability and storage issues. We registered for stoneware, but we didn't get any pieces, so we continue to "make do" with the Pfaltzgraff I got for college graduation.
Jilli, that's fantastic news. YAY!
I love this.
Where do you find spiderweb lace? And is there any in good (i.e. non-flocked non-printed) quality
I think the costume supply place here in Seattle has some no-flocked/non-printed spiderweb lace, but I'm not sure. The best place to look is, as usual, eBay.
At last we have achieved sleep. Whew.
I'm working on tracking down all kinds of logistical information for the bride whose wedding I'm coordinating in May. Nice couple, albeit very young, marrying straight out of college. (I can't have looked that young when I was 22. It's just unpossible.) But their wedding is going to be a production. They want to invite 400 guests. The sanctuary officially holds 280, though we probably get 400 at the 9:00 service on Easter. But that's with 40 people in the choir, a chair on the end of every row, pews jammed uncomfortably full and people sitting on the floor in the front of the sanctuary, on the balcony steps, and peering in from the narthex. And is probably in violation of every fire code known to man. I know inviting 400 != 400 guests, but they're both local, so it'll probably mean more than 280.
They want to have the reception in the fellowship hall, which means a lot more work for me, but increases my fee a bit as well. The bride asked about decorating the foyer between the sanctuary and the fellowship hall, and if they could take down the IMO perfectly innocuous bulletin board and table talking about church events and ministries. Trust me, there's nothing gaudy or tacky about this thing. Everything is neat and orderly. It's part of the Presbyterian creed.
I feel like Grumpy Old Woman, because I'm all, "Sheesh! YOUNG brides!"
he's off the respirator and is breathing on his own.
Oh, praise be.
Our work server is down. Oh, the trauma.
Hah.
Jilli, that is excellent news!!!
I'm not clicking the china links. I love china, but DH is literally a bull in a china shop, so it's not worth buying it. I have to stick to my sturdy stuff. Although a nice tea set would be something to aspire to.
I took the boy to Target for pictures. They did SUCH a better job than the last two places we went (Wal-Mart and Olan Mills). I can't wait to pick them up!
I've stopped waffling. The weather is still fine here, so I'm leaving for Indiana when DH gets home. I'll get to see my mom and sisters and DH will keep Owen at home. My first overnight away from him. I'm going to try not to call them every five minutes.
Don't you wish you were my roommate?A lot of the time actually, vw.
I think so, at least in my mind.I am still such the SJnTeaCupBoy 4EVAHHHHH!!!!!!11!! shipper.

Wonderful news, Jilli. So happy that there is positive news.
My first overnight away from him. I'm going to try not to call them every five minutes.He'll be fine Cash, but I think the inclination to call and check is very very normal.
I have no more uncles now. They just left. Which is sad but we had a great time together and I might see them again on Wednesday as they fly out of San Diego on Thursday. And before they left, they helped me put together my new dining chairs. I wore my tiara. The breakfast nook looks downright queer-eyed fabulous. I am happy. I should go take a picture.
He'll be fine Cash, but I think the inclination to call and check is very very normal.
Oh, he'll be SUPER FINE. DH is very good with him. I'm just being a nervous nelly. I REALLY need the time away though. Like, really.
Oh Cash, they'll both be fine. And you'll benefit from the time away. But yeah, I hear you on the separation anxiety.
The first time I spent the night away from StE was when I went to the hospital to have StY. Oy. I couldn't enjoy the new baby I was so anxious to get home to "my" baby. Mixed emotions, you betcha. And as for "young brides," I married at 20. DH was army, on the track to officer, and we moved to NJ, DC, and Germany in our first year together. I'd lived away from home for two semesters--at a school in my hometown.
We bought our china in Germany from a door-to-door salesman working for the English firm who made the china. In his demonstration he flipped a dinner plate across the floor like a frisbee. He went and got it, brought it back and threw it back across the floor so it landed on its rim, rolled, and spun to a halt right side up. Sold!
