Before anyone gets too excited, I am not planning MY wedding. However, I am hard at work at my MOH (Maid of Honor: pronounced MWAH) duties for my sister Molly who is getting married in August. Don't get me wrong: according to the "Discover your Strengths" book, my three of my five top strengths include maximizer, activator, and organizer. I'm now realizing I am the only person in my family with these strengths (no offense intended). And so we find ourselves at the crux of shower, wedding, bachelorette, and bridesmaid luncheon invitations. BREAKING NEWS: got mail merge to work on my IMAC from 2007 Excel spreadsheet to a Word envelope - and what's more, it was a CUSTOM set up to be a a 6x9 envelope. Everyone, pick yourselves up off of the floor at this accomplishment. If you persevere, you too can figure out Office 2007.
Now that I have successfully tackled invites, envelopes, complete with the X-Large 61 cent postage stamp (the price you pay for custom envelopes), it is on to shoes. I've got to find some silver shoes with a back on them for the wedding. I need the widest shoe possible but preferably something still cute.
Third, and secretly my favorite item to post: I secretly wish there was an armadillo cake for the groom's cake. I don't even know if there is a groom's cake, but if there is, I'd do anything possible to convince my future husband we should have something ridiculous (like an armadillo) as the groom's cake. Just like Steel Magnolias! Funny...Southern folk don't think it's quite as hilarious. My neighbor Jan is a wedding coordinator/cake maker and I told her that if I ever got married, I really wanted an armadillo cake. Her response was a curt "I don't think so." Whoops...
Again, what a great movie. Here's a quote for you to enjoy on this lovely Monday...
Drum: Ouiser, can we call a truce long enough for me to get a piece of cake?
[Ouiser slices him the tail piece of an armadillo cake]
Drum: Aww, thanks Ouiser. Nothin' like a good piece of a$$.
Love it!
