Aimee... I know I've only met B&E a handful of times, less than ten, which doesn't make me all experty but reading about this is just breaking my heart. It's like they just don't know how to take care of their friends and they are letting MoH take total advantage and turn something that is supposed to be a celebration into a spectacle. It makes me so hurt and angry for you.
I've talked to B about it and from
her
aspect, she wanted it at this hotel (hell, she wanted it at a spa, at first) because she and Ethan have been together for 8 years and she wanted a ritzy shower thing. Fine, I get it. And I support that. But MoH went about everything completely wrong, and, has been ripped a new one from Bride, as I just found out from Bride.
Harvey is in my arms, purring for y'all.
This is quite a change as he has been getting all his computer-snuggling time in with Daniel. It's nice to know Harvey still loves me.
Timelies, all!
Ellie got 3 shots today. She cried pretty hard, but stopped once i nursed her. Anyway, she is now 11 lbs and 23.5 inches.
Also, an official welcome to Dylan. Good job on Annabel, btw. She is such a cutie.
Poor Ellie! She's getting all big and stuff. Also, HI, Stephanie! Good to see you.

Yay, bride!
Poor Ellie and Stephanie.

Well, the bride doesn't get to decide what kind of shower(s) she has; nor does she get to foist a financial burden on her friends just b/c she feels entitled to be Pwincess For a Day.
Honestly. I know she's your friend, Aimee, but really. It's not good manners to be the bride and say, "The shower that all of you throw for me? The one that all of you pay for and that I don't pay a cent for, because I'm the bride? Yeah, I want it to be ritzy and fancy."
You want ritzy and fancy, you've got an actual wedding and reception for that.
Aww! Yay, Ellie on growth!
Howdy, Dylan. Is everyone in your department on vacation this week, too? (Everyone in Paul's is, it seems.)
VW, does Emily still have the vegan tiramisu recipe I sent her ages ago? I can't find my copy (it's in the basement), or I'd send it to you.

God, seriously.
Aimee, I'm sorry that you are involved in this total Wedding Drama, because I know it is the last thing you need. Lordy. When is this thing gonna be over, again?
Love that now you're getting lectures, like you're the problem. Ugh.
I just went through an old box and found a 3 ring binder with all my emails from 1997 printed out, 3 hole punched, and filed quite carefully. Huh. That was weird.
