dragonlady7Hm.
General consensus, here and on elmwoodstrip.org (a local blogging community of which I am recently a member) is that for an evening wedding in Buffalo, one ought to wear a fairly formal dress. It doesn't matter if I match Z, since I won't even be sitting anywhere near him at any point in the whole process.
So basically, some sort of somewhat formal gownish dressish thing, in a color that doesn't clash with the bridesmaids although it probably doesn't matter. Since it's in spring, is it inappropriate to wear dark colors? What about black? I had heard somewhere that wearing either black or white to a wedding is tacky, but I don't know where I heard that.
Ugh, I wish I had so much as one single solitary girl friend in Buffalo who could shop with me. I have no head for such nonsense. I love dressing up, but don't know how, really. I'd get my sister to come help me, but I don't have weekends off.
Oh-- I begged and pleaded to get next Saturday and Sunday off, and they could only give me Sunday, but guess what? Mom and Dad won't even get here until Sunday. I guess it's good to have Saturday so I can get the house in order, but I'm sort of annoyed that they'll be getting here just as I leave for work. Motherfucking job.
I have managed so far to get the back porch in order, to do rather a lot of work on the living room, and just now I scrubbed the shower and tub and did a load of dishes. Z has cleaned off the desk in his room, which is a start. But I am unhappily aware that there is more work to be done in the kitchen and living room, and I have not yet even begun the joyful quandary that is my bedroom, which will be serving as the guest room. Urgh! Hide the porn!
