Another this and that
Update on the wedding. The invitations were mailed out last week. It’s really going to happen. We’re working on some of the logistics now — transportation etc.
As for the bridal shower, we’re still waiting on a few RSVP’s but the party is coming together nicely.
As for my dress(es). The backup dress has arrived. It’s lovely and it fits perfectly. If I don’t wear it for the shower I’ll have to find an occasion… As for the original dress, the one that I customized, the website says they cut the pattern and began to lay out the fabric … Fingers crossed that it arrives in time … but if not, I’m no longer stressing…
The dress I’m wearing to the wedding has to be altered, it’s way too long and needs to be hemmed. I have to figure out when I should take it to the tailor. But first I have to buy shoes …
And did I mention that the dresses are in a size I never expected to wear again? The weight loss feels really good, and I know I’ll have the energy to dance at the wedding.
When we moved into this house last year, my next door neighbor frowned when I told her we have two cats. But when I told her our cats are strictly indoor cats, she smiled. She told me that many of our neighbors allow their cats outside and the cats get into her yard … I didn’t see many cats last year, but in the last few weeks we’ve had several feline visitors. They’re all well fed and sassy, so definitely not strays. Yesterday while I was having breakfast I heard a plaintive meow …I checked on Duchess and Shadow … the crying cat was sitting on my patio …but he left when I opened the back door. Maybe he was hoping one of mine would come out and play?
Now that Shadow and Duchess are getting along, I was thinking about adding another cat to the family … it Drew doesn’t want to be outnumbered.
We did a lot of yard work last weekend. Had to pick up a bunch of pine cones — those trees behind our house have been fruitful. This house has given us a few surprises, and I can’t wait to see what else this garden might produce.
Cats do have a way of finding the homes that are cat friendly! My neighbor frowns about my indoor only cats. Says "There's no such thing as a house cat," while not providing a litter box for his. "They're icky," says this man pushing 50 years old! Yes, they are. and they are part of owning a cat. His come to MY yard for their business, that's "icky".
ReplyDeleteYeah, my neighbor was expressing the “icky” factor
DeleteWell, with the backup dress, now you don't have to worry. It sounds like wedding prep is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteHappy the backup dress fit perfectly and took the stress off. Hoping the rest of the planning goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteNew York is big place. But I wonder if you had trouble finding a dress for the wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhen my sons got married. I kept running in to dress like under size 8. I haven't been that size since, eons.
Not a lot of merchandise in the stores lately. The dress I bought for the wedding …it was on sale at a department store, but they only had it in two sizes (not my size) but I was able to order it from the manufacturer.
DeleteAs for the shower …well, I hate shopping.
Having a dress already in the closet makes everything easier, I'm sure.
