Today has been rough… and really, I’m just complaining here. But we’re trying to plan this wedding thing (oh, that thing? that silly little thing? that wedding thing?) and the rooms and the catering and the this and the that and all this stuff that Mark and I really don’t care about is just getting to me. Price structures and tents and space and cake and blah blah blah! What we really want is a BBQ. And frisbees. And two (two? make it THREE!) kegs of really great beer… and maybe some wine (more wine!) and some good food and good friends and family and the mountains THE MOUNTAINS! and no rain (or maybe a little rain…)! That’s what we want. And well, anyway, all the NOT what we want is just getting to me, and freaking me out. And my f.ing dress, I’m telling you, JCrew you are dead. But anyhow. My lovely Mark sent me this to make me smile. And it did.
This warms my heart. And makes me laugh.
I Heart Guts!. The idea is fabulous in itself, and is–in itself–a concept that makes me smile and laugh out loud. But what I really love is this: the UTERUS PLUSH RECALL! Oh no! They’ve recalled the Uterus! I wish they’d recall my uterus some days… but this is the best… .
“The ovaries may be pulled off and become a choking hazard.” HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! How cute and funny and sweet. What an adorable company, both in what they sell but also in how they’ve handled what could be a very scary thing. With humor and humility, and care for the consumer. See this blog (their blog) about the whole mishap. Great reading. Love it. Love it.

I like finding other brides that don’t love all the steps of wedding planning. When I was booking everything and picking my dress I was incredibly unhappy. I didn’t really care about most of it and I kept being told how much fun I should be having. Now that my wedding is less than 4 months away and all the big decisions are done, it’s finally coming together and I can look forward to having a good party with family and friends. Hopefully you’ll get to that point soon!

Yeah, I love it too. Except that I opened Mark’s link in the library. The very public, very full of judgmental hipster students library. And up pops this giant plushie uterus – that might kill you, no less.
Anyway, now that my reputation is officially ruined, I want to remind you that I am here to help, Anna B. As both your Fake Wedding Planner (FWP) and Junior Bridal Attendant (JBA) (ahem), I will take on any and all planning/arranging/leg-breaking duties that your poor little self can’t handle. You have my phone number, email, AIM screen name, and address. Let me help you!
