~ Tiring Day~
Wow- Today has been a tiring day. I got up at 7:30 and went to clean a house with Mom....Got home around 12 just in time to take a drive to Middleburg to visit yet another possible wedding rehersal dinner site for my brother. We found one- The Red Fox Inn. Nice place, the oldest Inn still running in the U.S. But prices are high and this entire rehersal dinner will cost more than my Mom and Dad's wedding and honeymoon combined. Kind of scary to think about- but things change. As Baz Luhrmann said:
Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
All the girls in the family are excited about the upcoming wedding. But even though I'm excited....I feel like passing out when I think of being in front of all these people walking down a isle. Every girl thinks that they'll start walking and fall flat on their face. Guess what? I'm that girl. Scared to death but unbearably pround of my brother and honored that I'm in his wedding.
Dad keeps saying "I'll be glad when it's over" but deep down inside I know he's kind of looking forward to it.
Mom and Dad are EVIL. Here's why. They thought of the idead to send my brother a fake menu with everything on it that he hates and tell him this is what were having at your rehersal dinner. Here's some of the stuff they put on the menu: Butermilk Tomato Cocktail (A REAL Recipe),Beer Battered Squash,Fried Okra and Tomato,Fried Peach Pie and Macaroni and Kraut Souffle, just to name a few. This menu has everything my brother hates on it: tomatoes, Fried stuff. I think the 'rents are evil for doing it but I'm not trying to stop them. I really want to see him blow a gasket when he sees it.
Well, Mom and Dad are going to send this fake menu to him via e-mail. I'll let you know how it turns out.
