I have piped my last cookie, iced my last brownie and stuffed my last gift bag. I have shopped for shoes and tumblers and plates and cups, wine and chocolates and acres of ribbon; I have picked up my last dry cleaning, my last paper towels, gummi bears, scotch tape and gel pens and strapless foundations; there will be no more buying, hauling, stacking, planning, list-making or glittering of table cards.
Because today, gift bags will fly across town – in strategic formation – as out-of-towners arrive this afternoon. Welcome Dinner tonight, Bat Mitzvah service & luncheon tomorrow, big crazy pink and brown disco-dog-themed dinner dance party tomorrow night, brunch on Sunday morning and then – and only then – will I reclaim parts of my brain I once called useful, and my own. And I will see you then.
Have a great weekend!
Mazel tov!
It’s going to be wonderful!! Hugs and kisses to all.
Good luck with everything! I’m sure it will go off without a hitch!
Breathe. Everything will be perfectly beautiful.
Congrats to Josie.
More hugs.
You are a great Mom!! Have a wonderful time with friends and family. Congratulations to Josie!
Take a deep breath, maybe a drink (or two), and I will see you tomorrow!
MAZEL TOV!
Best of luck to you all! All your planning will no doubt result in a lovely party.
Congratulations Josie and enjoy every moment of the weekend. How can it not be wonderful with Cleo to watch over everything? Enjoy making those memories…
Oh my! Have a wonderful weekend.
Have a great time and enjoy the incredible celebration!!
Mazel tov to you all…
just think of it as rehearsal for her wedding!
If Bat Mitvah is this weekend (and hugs to everyone involved), that means . . . you’ll be back at the coffee shop on Monday! Or maybe Tuesday if you’re still recovering on Monday. But soon, anyway. Right?
Why yes, I’ve missed you. Even though I know you have a glorious, stupendous celebration as the reason why!
