vw, you might just take a look at the nearest KMart or Target.
Er, no such thing. At least, not closest enough for her to get it before work tomorrow. It's the dense city thing -- things that are convenient (because of size and variety of products) in most places tend to be inconvenient (because of size and real estate) here.
At least, that's my experience. vw is more comfortable going off the T for stuff than I am -- but I think given her evil schedule for the day, she's not going to have time.
If you don't mind me TOTALLY SPEAKING FOR YOU WHICH IS VERY RUDE, vw.

Hee!
Actually, I could take the 70A bus to Watertown to Target...I'm just lazy...
When do you work tomorrow?
Oh. Well then. I was all worried you were working at 9, and thinking, good lord, woman, you're calling yourself lazy for not wanting to take the bus to Watertown sometime between getting home at 10 tonight and getting to work at 9 tomorrow? We need to have a talk about unrealistic standards!
But never mind.
would you be able to drive to the S-ville Target?
Ok, someone check me on this.
My best friend is getting married and for her shower in California, she wants to invite people out to Palm Springs to the Two Bunch Palms
spa.

Fun, right?
Yeah.
Everyone who wants to go has to pay for their own treatments as well as buy her a gift. The lowest price is $90. Is this a bit...I don't know....what? Too much? She says that she'll help pay for someone if they don't have the money, but how people are going to say, not coming cause I can't afford it? Aren't they more likely to say "I have other plans"? Anyway, am I being a butthead for thinking this is a bit much?
Not a butthead. Requiring people to spend extra money above and beyond the gifts they're giving you out of love in order to come celebrate your happy occasion? Priceless buttheadedness.
Unless all your friends are rich, this is more than a bit much Aimee. You are right.
Anyway, am I being a butthead?
No. My mother was upset about something like this the other day and noted that when you invite guests to an event then a large part of your planning is about making your guests comfortable not about what you want.
The something like this is my cousin's wedding, where everyone is expected to sit on quilts. It's okay for me, but my parents are the youngest of the older generation and they're 72. Rather uncomfortable for them, and numerous other senior who will be there.
