Lots of stuff happened this weekend, so let’s hit it!

• My wedding dress arrived Friday night. I’d ordered it from J.Crew — love their dresses — and it fit perfectly, but for one issue: my boobs. Too big. Way too big. And I’ve checked the next size up (which is on order) and you know what? Boobs aren’t making it into that one, either. My J. Crew dream may be hitting the skids; what to do, what to do?
• Got so sidetracked by trying on the dress — and making sure Rob wasn’t home — that I wound up cooking for Friend’s Thanksgiving very, very late. How late? I started cooking five pounds of green beans at midnight…went to bed at 4:00 am…
• …and was subsequently super-tired when we had to get up and be out the door for 9:00. We were seeing a wedding caterer out in Shoreham. Rob tells me I slept like a rock all the way out there. The caterer itself was good — but then from eating that food, we went to…
• …Friend’s Thanksgiving, where we ate even more food. :) Friend’s Thanksgiving is where my high school friends, their spouses and kids, and other friends and family all get together a few weeks before Thanksgiving to celebrate and see each other. It’s the one time around the holidays where we know we’ll get together, and it’s gotten bigger and bigger every year. Everyone brings a dish — there’s always plenty of good food and fun times. This year may have been our biggest yet — we had almost 50 people. Folks at certain ends of the tables were told, “Make sure you’ve gone to the bathroom — you’re not getting up for the next two hours!”
  Lots of fun — everyone’s kids have gotten soooo big — and we got to tell everyone when our wedding day is!
• Stayed home yesterday and recovered. My baby Druid and baby Warlock are not quite so little anymore — I dinged them both to 30 yesterday. : sniff : They’re just growing so fast…
