May 2011
I know it’s an odd question.
I’m stocking up on my matron of honor emergency kit for my sister’s wedding this weekend and she has a pretty good chance of passing out.
She almost lost consciousness while taking pictures during my wedding (it was 100+ degrees but she was wearing a light chiffon dress).
This weekend she’s got a big ole princess wedding dress, complete with a corset and all that business underneath. She also barely tips the scale at 100ish lbs, gets nauseous at the thought of being the center of attention, and she’s by character, very delicate.
I’ve already got some Evian Mineral Spray in my bag to wake her back up in case of wooziness but I’m looking for something stronger.
If all else fails I’m going to Weekend at Bernie’s her and use puppet strings and wooden braces to get her through the day with no one the wiser.
Between my sister’s bachelorette party on Saturday and our friend’s wedding on Sunday I’ve gotten about 6 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours.
I had planned on enjoying St. Louis today but I spent most of it drifting in and out of consciousness.
I’m very worried about waking up for work tomorrow.

Because I would like to do that.
Mark and I went to wedding #1 this past weekend. It was the wedding of one of his fraternity brothers and unfortunately, the happy couple put the fraternity song on the do not play list. It was a must play song at my wedding and all the other married pledge brothers. It was not well received among a certain set of guests. Generally crankiness ensued.
So now I’m back in Kansas City and I’ve got to throw my sister a bachelorette party on Saturday then drive to St. Louis and attend a wedding on Sunday. The next weekend will be my little sister’s wedding and then two weekends from that we have our last wedding to attend until September.
Pulled over at a rest stop, shaking in terror, and crying that I didn’t get raptured yesterday so I could have avoided the whole horrifying situation.
I wanted to do this on Jaclyn Day’s cute download image but I was lazy and this way will be easier for others to copy and paste and do it themselves (because I actually like reading people’s answers to these things).
