Re: Here we go again...
My family should plan parties for a living. (ok, my SIL does but the rest of us should, too)
My cousin's wedding is going to be so cool. and my mother has decided that she's going to sew the flower girl dress. (my other cousin Sarah's 2.5 yo Leah will be the FG) EB (my cousin the bride- Sarah couldn't say Elizabeth so she became EB and there she's stayed) and I have been lamenting the fact that all of the flower girl dresses are a wee bit too JonBenet for our tastes. I called my mom last night to see if she still had the dress that I wore as a flower girl to my aunt's wedding (EB and Sarah's mom). Sadly, she JUST got rid of them when they moved. So, she decided to see if we were exaggerating about how poofy and BIG the flowergirl dresses are these days.
Next thing ya know, she's surfing the patterns on the web and had decided that dammit, there are UGLY dresses out there and SHE can do better.
OK, I say. I guess it's like riding a bike. I think the last thing anyone wore that she made was definitely in the early 1980s.
But, heck, Yay Mom. I love my mom. I still don't know why she gave up her kick ass White House clearance job at NSA (translating Vietnamese- 1966- think about it) for ME, but she rocks.
