Mudder’s Day is on Sunday and it’s supposed to rain. Shitty. I’ve been swamped with buying procycled fabric, sewing slings to sell there and maintaining their website. My sister designed a poster advertising the slings and it’s the first time she’s ever done work for me in return for me developing her website which sells her paintings which pays her bills. I hope the poster does not get ruined in the rain.
Clive’s off to Georgia on Sunday (we follow him on Tuesday). We had to get a Letter of Consent notarized today that gives me permission to travel with Ash. Notary Publics charge a fucking arm and a leg. $55 down the toilet in a matter of minutes for one stupid signature. We got Ash his passport and that was expensive too. We had to spend $35 for a long form birth certificate, $20 for the passport and another $30 for it to be processed quickly because of time constraints. Totally annoying. This Georgia trip had better be worth it! Our hotel has a pool, so I’m pretty sure it’ll be great.
My friend Nicole and I sometimes go shopping together, sending each other links on eBay and Etsy for like, hours. I found a dress I love for the brunch my MIL is throwing the day after the wedding on eBay and promptly bought it. It’s a Bitten (by SJP) dress which means it was cheap. It’s pretty cute.
I hope to come back to lots of mail. My wedding dress, our wedding rings (which I have to ship back to the company I bought it from on eBay), the dress above and a couple of other things should arrive.
I bought these today for our centerpieces. They remind me of old fashioned milk bottles, even though Clive reminded me that people usually put a litre of wine in them. I only found three, but I hope to find another three in the next 2.5 months. If not, mason jars will be used. Mason jars are cute.
Here is my centerpiece inspiration:
