Joe responding to my request to imagine Jilli in full Edwardian Goth garb, walking up the aisle at B's Hoity Toity 5 Star Wedding of Snoot:
The funny thing is yes, yes I can. I can also imagine B's frozen ghastly smile as she approaches the altar with her preacher dad, and sees all those lovely chocolate brown bridesmaid's dresses...and a black and scarlet ensemble topped with white makeup, black mascara and a top hat.
I added, "clutching Clovis as though he were a bouquet."
Sooo, I'm still waiting to hear back about the job I interviewed for. I've been trading emails w/ my old boss (from the last time I was a full-time employee of the company), who is a very cool lady. This is what she just told me:
If you weren’t being considered they would have told you right off the bat. The HR rep usually calls the same day or the next morning depending on how late it was that the interview completed. They don’t string you along if you are not being considered. It could also be that they have not finished interviewing folks. I am sure that they want to exercise all of their possibilities. If you were a definite no hire you would have been told by now.
So I will stop freaking out
quite
so much.
Light snacks can mean different things nuts and mints only; nuts, mints, fruit and veggie platter, cheese and crackers. Maybe finger sandwiches (tuna salad, chicken salad, pimento cheese).
I might have to put Sam in my bodice.

Oh, you should! And if Bridezilla asks you, smile very trustingly and say "She's my friend!"
'light snacks" and "hors doeuvres" (which I realize I have no idea how to spell. Google gave me many options, I picked this one) are pretty much the same to me. Which is to say, just about anything as long as it's bite sized.
Good luck, Jilli! That sounds promising.
Forty minutes.
GO JILLI!!!

Just to give you an idea of the insanity. Well, more of an idea. Well, some details on the idea.

TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY DOLLARS? For a girl's wee dress that she'll grow out of next month? Do you realize that's more than I spent on my actual wedding dress?
Oy.
