Bridal Shower Flowers!
My sisters and I: Nicole, Stacey, and me!
I was on bow-hat making duty. It, of course, came out beautiful.
Today was my sister Stacey's bridal shower. Surprise bridal shower, which is why you've heard nothing about it. Rumor has it that she reads my blog. And I would be the one to let the cat out of the bag, so I decided to zip it and wait until it's over to finally tell you all about it. She was completely and utterly shocked, which is always amazing when you're planning a surprise party for someone. We had her party at this gorgeous restaurant and everything went perfectly according to plan. I'd say I should be a party planner, but I'd rather stick a fork in my eye. No, really.
So my iChat decided on a whim today that it wasn't going to let me use alipinho@mac.com as my screen name anymore. iChat, YOU are a serious hater. So, I had to put my clever heels on (some people wear "thinking caps", I wear "clever heels". To each their own), and think of something witty to use as a new screen name. Hipster Sister was an option, I mean, it would link everything together. But I decided to leave Hipster Sister for blogging/twittering circumstances only. My new screen name is now ToughLuxe8. I despise screen names with numbers in them, only because I can't ever remember them, not that I really need to, it's just the fact of the matter, but my clever heels were really starting to hurt my feet, and I needed to think fast. So PLEASE, add me to your buddy lists and shoot me an IM, because along with ditching me completely, alipinho@mac.com also left me with not ONE screen name from my buddy list. Kind of disappointing. My screen name totally divorced me. I should have signed a pre-nup.
Also, I don't know if I told the world this yet, but my email has also changed. It is no longer alipinho@mac.com (we've already established that that screen name/email has been burned), it is now alisonpinho@optonline.net. So please, add that as a contact to your little black books as well.
While at the bridal shower today, I faced the most difficult task of my life thus far. After lunch and after opening gifts, we were all sitting around, chatting and sipping our coffee from our dainty white mugs, when the waitresses walked in with what was, to me, the apocalypse. Out came platter after platter after plater, intricately decorated and piled high with desserts like, Triple Chocolate Dream Cake, Tiramisu I Love You, and Holy Canoli's. Yes, I gave all of the desserts names as they were being placed on the table in front of me. That's how amazing they looked. Only, I couldn't eat them. Thank you for ruining the best part of life, Celiac Disease ... Tiramisu. I was never really bothered with the whole Celiac's thing. Until this. Not being able to eat those desserts just down right hurt my feelings. I LOVE sweet. That's what I live for. So disappointing.
Well, my trusty little blog readers, who, I love DEARLY. It's off to bed for me! I'm super exhausted and have a nice long week of work to look forward to. I am not excited. Not at all.
Toodles!
