The Thing That Goes Doink

One of my good friends from high school is getting married in just under two weeks, and tonight is her bridal shower. Apparently formal invites were sent out a week ago, but are as yet to reach their destination. So last night her maid of honor was frantically making phone calls to people whose numbers the bride has to invite them to the shower tonight.

Add to this the dilemma of finding something to wear to the actual wedding. I have a lovely white sundress I could pair with a pink cardigan, but I almost feel that the dress is too short and summery for an early fall wedding. I have a nice blue dress, which could be described as a loli dress, but it's just a hare too small and won't zip - unless I feel like putting myself into a corset. Which I don't. The dress I bought in E-burg at travellyr 's graduation is very nice, but also strapless. I also have put off washing it since Miami. And it probably needs it since Miami in August equals lots of perspiration.  This leaves me with a very clingy wrap dress I could wear, but I'd have to invest in quite a bit of shape wear so I don't scare anyone because I am not as skinny as I was when I got it.  There's a sleeveless striped dress, but it's a little snug.  There's also the party dress I made for my husband's company Christmas party last year.  It's black and tea-length (just under the knee) and a halter.  I was thinking about getting either a shrug or one of those drapey shawl-sweaters along with a flower I could pin to the hip.  So far it's looking like my best bet, even though it's going to take a little work to make it wedding appropriate.

Anyway, I should find something to eat.  With just over an hour until I have to leave for the bridal shower, I need me some foodage.
