bridal shower invite

My friend Robin is getting married in September. I am the maid of honor (again). Yes, I said maid because I refuse to be called matron- it’s too prisonguard, 300lb, mole sporting, grey haired evoking. Robin had been married previously and I was her maid of honor then, too. So I guess I did an ok job. Anyway, her future sisters-in-law did all the arrangements for the shower location (thanks Carolyn and Kathy) so I said I would do the invites. Here’s what I made. Apparently, Robin saw one of the invites (that’s why I am posting it now) and really, really liked it, so I am glad. Hey, if it wasn’t for her teaching me photoshop 7, I couldn’t have done a nice job on it.

Her bachelorette party will be early August in NYC, so I am excited about that too. Hopefully, I can lose a few pounds before the dress fitting. It’s been quite challenging to do so. And now with Graeme coming it will be a food fest here. Well, I figure I have til the almost end of Sept to lose 10 lbs. I hope…

We went to Sesame Place yesterday for the day. Pictures coming soon on that. I didn’t want to take my good camera (too worried between the heat, the water everywhere, and theft) so I just picked up 2 disposable waterproof cameras at Target before leaving. I cannot tell you how many times I snapped a picture and then looked at the back of the camera to see how it came out. Ahhh, yeah. Nothing there. Even Jack asked if he could see the pictures as he took the camera from me. I told him if he could figure out how to, he should let me know. And not being able to focus, change settings, zoom….maddening!! Can’t do the point and shoot thing anymore. Can. Not. Do. It. Even though the little cheapy disposable is about 1/10th of the bulk of the ‘real’ camera. I can’t wait to see how they turn out though. And everyone had a super, super time at Sesame. More on that soon.
