well this week we had just the eensiest bit of drama concerning our envelopes. we had ordered certain ones offline that we really liked, however, turns out they are not coming in until MONDAY. oh heck no.
so last night scott and i ran to a handful of different stores trying to find something that will be just as nice but much much faster. i was really supposed to have these suckers out last Saturday. woops. but glory hallelujah, we found some cute ones. and no one will even know. well...except you now. but these other ones are very cute too. and the late envelopes will be used for very nice thank you cards. i am a fan of thank yous.
today, i ran around after work in pursuit of two things
1) good postage stamps
2) more envelopes!!
it was exhausting let. me. tell. you. first of all i was in holly's car since mine is taking his sabbatical - and the very sad thing about hers is that it no longer pushes out any AC. second, i got off work around 1:20 and had to have her car back to her by 3, so time crunch. i drove to two different staples (got lost once) and the post office.
at the post office the kind young man was very sad that he had such a limited supply of stamps, however, lucky for me, the second of his 2 options were exactly the ones that i had wanted. in a stroke of genius i whipped out an invitation stuffed envelope and handed it to him asking if it would take one or two stamps. he proceeded to MAN-HANDLE my poor invite, bending it a little and squishing it in his thumbs. nothing i couldn't smooth away, but still. the heart palpitations i'm telling you.
i think i am a far distant long way from ever being dubbed a "bride-zilla" but i have to defend this one. scott and i spent a lot of time on those things. this is not just a cutely wrapped water bill buddy! that is a limited edition, scott + heidi wedding invitation!
i think the minor horror on my face must have communicated some sort of physical pain to him because he gently put it back on the counter and said, "uh, two stamps i think...there's uh. there seems to be a bump in it" yes there's a bump! it's twine! who knew that putting a piece of twine in your envelope would cost you an extra 20 cents?
no matter, i am simply irritated because i am sweating through my clothes and need twice the stamps i thought i did. and my one invitation now needs therapy. it's ok.
the post office ended up actually being the only productive part of the frantic outing since neither of the two staples i went to carried those same envelopes. i think scott's going to stop at one more before he comes over though, so i'm crossing my fingers.
sigh, on the bright side, i got 30 of them out today and my socal bridal shower invitations as well! woot.
i was just about to post the said bridal shower invitations when i realized that the girls have not gotten them yet and in the off chance that someone looks at this, that might ruin the fun.
so this is all i'll post for now:
not as exciting in a picture, i'll have to say.
more pictures next week when i'm sure they've all been delivered. but i was quite happy with how they turned out.
in any case, this rambling needs to end. i need to prep more invites in expectation of more envelopes!
onward and upward!
