Who does that?

Meesh blogging as usual.

Funny story for you--

So, a bunch of friends are out at the bar on a Saturday night. The one girl, we'll call her Liv, takes an interest for the bar back who is working that night.

Side note: Liv was there a couple weeks ago when her friends entered her into this contest where you had to wear your favorite jeans and some pink and strut your stuff down a runway (it was for Breast Cancer awareness). She ended up winning 3rd Place ironically. Anyway, the bar back was working that night too, which was when Liv first noticed her.

Later that Saturday evening Liv's friend Jane tells her to write her name and number on one of those cards and give it her. Well Liv being the shy girl that she is with meeting new people, really didn't want to do it, despite the fact that she really wanted to strike up a conversation with the cute bar back.

So what she does is this: goes up to the bartender, orders a shot then says to him "Hey, can you give this to her," as she nods over in the bar backs direction. After Liv hands the card to the bartender, she runs away feeling completely sheepish. Okay, so maybe she didn't literally run away but you know what I mean.

Immediately, Liv realizes that she's a complete idiot because now the bar back isn't going to know who she is! Who does that? Who gives their number to someone and doesn't give it to them directly??? Now she probably won't call because who would call a complete stranger who can't even introduce themselves?

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

Meesh blogging today. All sorts of crazy things have been happening lately, but I wanted to blog about dress shopping for Jenny and Megan's wedding.

Today was the day we agreed to go shopping for bridesmaids dresses. Tory invited all of Jenny's bridesmaids over for brunch around 10am, which was delicious! We had mini french toast with homemade syrup, bagels and cream cheese, fruit, mimosas, and cinnamon buns. Oooo, so yummy. Then we drove to the Davids Bridal by Cherry Hill.

Oh wait, maybe I should tell you who is in Jenny's Bridal Party:

Matron of Honor - Christine (sister)
Maid of Honor - Tory (best friend and old roommate)
Bridesmaid - Amanda (best friend, old roommate and fellow alumni of UArts)
Bridesmaid - me (best friend, current roommate and fellow alumni of UArts

Jenny tried on some dresses first, and then it was our turn. Okay, here is the first dress:



Here is the back:

This one we liked, but were not really feeling it.

Someone else who was there had a Puggle in the car and brought it into the store. So cute!


Okay, the next dress was this one. It had this extra fabric in the front. Let me tell you we were already doing dirty things with it...


This was another dress with extra fabric randomly attached. Yea, definite NO.

(Yea, dresses with extra hanging fabric = not now, not never.)

And this is the dress we all liked....
TA DAA. Jenny didn't think that we would pick this one.

The dress will be in a champagne color. Here is a photo from Davids Bridal website in the color:



Jenny also brought her dress today too. I didn't take any photos for fear Megan will find them. But she looked awfully purrr-ty.

Oh, by the way, the date is Friday, September 11, 2010. Yay! Dress = check. Now all I need is shoes and a date.
