Can we make that happen? I think Lisa should be the babysitter. Maybe she can bring smurray along to help. Oooooh, crack biscuits and tots. Can we make that happen?

I've endured years of friends giving me hand-me-down clothes that no longer fit them... which always seems to translate to "Oh, my enormous breasts just won't fit in this shirt anymore! I know, I'll give it to Gill! It'll fit her." Sad panda :( I know what will help you get back to normal: sausage (crack) biscuits and tots. It’s cool, Ide.

Before you get too jealous, wait until you see where the dress is gappy. I have a strapless dress to wear to the rehearsal dinner that I tried on at the tailor the other day. The fitted bodice immediately fell down to my hips. She had to take it in more than two inches. And I wept a little inside. Gill, if I ever hear you call yourself morbidly obese, I will cut you.

Mel, you're so right. With all of us there, a buffet and an open bar, how can we possibly go wrong? And strikethrough is the greatest discovery since the bulleted list. Ide, not that I'm jealous of your stomach flu (well, maybe a little), Melia is right. All I've been doing for the past few weeks is gorge on super rich food and wine. Mmm. I need an alternative phrase to replace "morbidly obese" in my vocabulary. Y’all are awesome. Mel, you’re so right. With all of us there, a buffet and an open bar, how can we possibly go wrong?

Thank you for that little magical tip - I am using it on all my TextEdit To-Do lists. Katie, you're lucky that your dress is gappy - I think the rest of us will have the opposite problem after gorging ourselves during the holidays. Corsets, anyone?

Kaila may need to glue gun the top of my dress shut. It's a wee bit gappy...again. Lemme know if there's anything I can do for you from afar. I don't know any babysitters in New Orleans, but don't some of our old professors have little kids/grandkids? Maybe they can hook you up. You could also look into hiring a nanny or professional sitter service for the big day...they'll already be background checked and ready to go. I would offer to watch them myself, but I could see that situation spiraling downward rather quickly...sorta like the time my mom left us with our (very young) aunt so she could go to the doctor and can home to find I had learned to take "shots" of Kool-Aid out of a Dixie Cup. Perhaps childcare should be left to the professionals.

Was coincidentally just doing some bachelorette planning. I'm of the same philosophy -- keep it simple, and with those key ingredients (good food, drink, and people), we can't NOT have an amazing time. Can't wait to read about more pre-Cana craziness. I'm glad I got to see that stuff firsthand. I can't believe "Catholic Marriage Prep, Inc." is for real. I’m here for you, babe! Was coincidentally just doing some bachelorette planning.
