Host ,'Not Fade Away'
[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.
The one thing I'm really looking forward to with the return of 80s fashion is the return of wearing black tights with dresses and skirts, because it makes it possible for me to wear dresses and skirts in the fall and winter without freezing.
Er. Is this out of style? Because I've been doing this blithely in the 90s and 00s.
I roll my eyes forever about the SS# on the baby ceremony invite.
1. I wear black tights as often as possible.
2. SSN is just wrong people.
3. Registries are good, and I'd never be bothered by the info on an invite--in fact, I'm likely to lose the info for the shower I'm attending next month
Unnumberable, thanks for the hugs guys. I'm alternately shaken and twitchy.
ita, I am very sorry about your friend and colleague.
We registered at Amazon because we were asked to. Since we eloped, presents were not called for and we didn't expect any but folks are nice. We tried to pick lots of things in the $20-$50 range, so no one would have to break the bank. Some lovely friends and family have been giving us stuff, which is lovely!
Registering is not the etiquette issue. Including information about the registry (even just in the envelope) is the faux pas. Etiquette standards generally require that information is only supposed to be supplied if and when a guest inquires (that said, I never mind when I get the info in an envelope, because it can be useful).
I've skimmed & skipped, so excuse me if I'm repeato gal.
I'm always so relieved when someone has registered, but I agree that that particular invite just sounds tacky.
Morning! I love Saturdays. Ima lounge in bed as long as I can.
After standing in line at the post office for an hour (Love my little post office. Already know all the workers. But, there's only two stations. So sometimes you REALLY wait), the letter is on the way to the landlords. They should get it on Tuesday. Lucky ducks!
The locks in current building are being changed. Guess my instincts about the girl downstairs were right on. She moved out yesterday.
Also, what Cindy said.
Cindy, I'm about to watch my first Veronica Mars. It better be good!
One of us! One of us!
