Yes, I know. These two concepts do not usually go hand in hand. I can explain.
My wonderful personal shopper went out with my sisters and me (after having done several advance evenings of scouting), to look for the perfect blouses for them to wear as my bridesmaids. We thought we might have found the answer a couple of times so went ahead and purchased. Then we went to Macy's at Flatirons. They had many nice choices.
The result was that we found a blouse, in everyone's size, that fits nicely, that looks nice on all of them, and that everyone actually will be happy to wear. How many brides can say that about their bridesmaids? Name three.
I'm very excited about it. They will each wear the same color pant which they probably already have an appropriate pair of at home. (Yes, I know this isn't the most lovely grammar you editors have ever read.)
Back to the rash. As we were sitting outside Macy's fitting rooms waiting to find out if they could locate a particular size at one of the other stores, I looked at my arms. There were red welts starting to pop out. I can kind of feel some irritation on other body parts, but don't see the rash yet. So far it is not bothersome, and I'd be REALLY happy to have it only on the parts of my body that are typically covered up.
So, it was a long day, but it was successful. We all had a few laughs about something that only the 5 of us will understand. Thank you to my sisters and B for making this such a great day.

Here is a riddle only you should be able to understand (and I'm not one of your sisters)!
You and I were both at Ball Aerospace for 25 years on BATC's 50th year anniversary
You and I turned 50 during that same year.
You had an idea to get all the employees that turned 50 the same year Ball turned 50 together.
Who am I?
You are in my thoughts and prayers. LB
I recognize you, Lisa! :-)
Jane
Read your blog. What a beautiful way to share with all the people who care and love you.
Michael sounds like a wonderful guy and I am so happy to hear about your wedding.
Please know that you are in my prayers and my thoughts daily. Can't wait to keep reading about those wedding plans. And you know I'm sure you could be that Bridezille if you would only try. :)
Love and hugs,
Is Bridezilla sexist? Is there such thing as a Groomzilla? Although, come to think of it, they are usually a bit too quiet to reach the "zilla" stage. Must be a sex-linked characteristic :)
When you say rash and weddings, I think of Doris Day and Cary Grant in "That Touch of Mink." Remember?
I think for my part, I am 'BOZO-Zilla'! Every time I hear anyone mention anything about the wedding, I turn into a
stupid clown. :-P
Mike
I am feeling SO sorry for you, Mike.
Weddings have been going on for how many centuries? And we still haven't figured out a better job description for the menfolk than "show up and shut up."
I apologize on behalf of all the females on the planet. We are truly contrite. And sometime, when we aren't busy with the caterers, photographers, taxi service, hotel reservations, dress fittings, flowers, showers, luncheons, reception arrangements, etc., we'll put some time into that job description.....we promise!
Looking forward to meeting Jane's Knight, Sir Boz...Vicki & Dave
(Ask Jane....when I worked for her, I could probably have been best described as "Friend-zilla")
not true
