chestnutcurlsSo we're throwing a bridal shower for Emily on Saturday, and I'm hardly nervous or stressed at all. Clearly I don't have a good grasp of the situation. :P My best idea so far has been to make marble magnet sets as game prizes. I made a few sets, and then Kathy got interested and has been a marble-making machine ever since. I got some Altoid-type tins online, and we're going to put the magnet sets in them and tie them with ribbon. Yay for original party favors. :)
I've noticed that "yellow" is not a popular adjective in the clothing world (catalogs especially). A shirt is never yellow; it's "sunrise" or "marigold" or "lemonade." They do that with all colors, but yellow seems especially avoided. What's up with that?
I got a spam e-mail today from "Jessie Ramsey." Poor girl. I guess she couldn't pay rent on her income from the Baby-Sitters Club.
