All,

Jodi told me about this place -  http://www.shoestodyefor.com/

They can pretty much dye any style of shoe you desire in about a week give or take (Jodi, please correct me if I misspeak).

They're in Natick!

 I was thinking this would be a good outfit for the B-Party?  ~B

I hate the Lakers. 

Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!

(and I hate all the network stupid celebrity mug shots during the game. pfft. "and here is Nimbo Bimbo from Gay's Anatomy! and here's Schlob Mob from SUV CSI!" grrr. stop! go back to the game!) 

Hi!

The Pines chef contacted me this week and asked that we come up with the reception menu. Just so you know and can share with others, here's what I'm thinking. Please read and comment on any thoughts or concerns or ideas or jokes you may have. I have most definitely not considered everything so your feedback would be most appreciated. Grassyass.

Appetizers will include of course scallaps & bacon, cheese and crackers and fruit, some kind of philo treat, chicken snackie doodads (tenders? satay? something like that), and some kind of veggie thing. Dinner will likely be a salad, rolls, wine, chicken saltimbocca and rosemary garlic rubbed steak (we're having double entree, so there's no choosing! isn't that wonderful?! "and they rejoiced...yaaaaaay"), and a starch and a veggie. Of course vegetarians will not be fed and will be asked to leave. JK. Har har. The Pines chef said not to worry about vegetarians, they have pasta dishes waiting in the wings for the PITA Peeps.

Dessert will be cake. Not sure if I'll do those itty bitty little desserts, if it costs a lot extra, then no. Btw, my brother in-law, Cathy's husband Jim is making the cake. And I cannot WAIT to see previews and do taste testing. Mmmmm. I'm not even a cake person, but I'm wicked excited about that. 

Does that sound good? Oh! And for wine at dinner, we'll have Penfolds Shiraz and the Savignon Blanc that we taste tested at the wine tasting at Whispering Pines -- thanks again for helping choose them. They were so good! And the Wine Tasting was a blast!

That's all for now. Let me know what you think. Plenty of time to finalize the menu, but I do plan on getting back to the Pines chef shortly.

Ever truly yours,

Just as a head's up, each of us should plan to bring a cooler filled with assorted goodies for pre and post wedding fun. This means, pack whatever makes you happy and you think may make others happy -- in that making others happy makes you happy -- cos if you're happy, then I'm happy, and rumor has it that if I'm happy, well, that's the name of the game. Other names of the game are "pace yourself", "keep it loose and groovy", and of course, the "always remember to have a really good time." (I think John Cusack said that in The Sure Thing--btw, Woodson, are you in charge of bringing the movies!???!? Are you bringing Sixteen Candles? Mahhhhdeeeeed? Mahhhddeeeeeeeed....) Yes yes, those are allllll names of the game for the weekend (and beyond). But seriously, making me happy is the like, the fonzie of game names. So, that being longwindedly said, be happy, make others happy, have fun, be loose and groovy, pace yourself, and bring a cooler of crap. Which could be anything from water, gatorade, soda, cookies, ring dings, twinkies, salt & vinegar chips, microwaveable salty frozen treats that will burn the roof of our mouths at 3am (ahem, Kathleen, I got to call you out on having that responsibility too!) pretzels, tea, cheese, popcorn (mmmmm), and of course, booze. (Did you think I was going to say "bacon?")

Remember we have 2 bonfires to play at, and mostly all of Saturday day full of idleness and readiness. The Pines will be feeding us all our major meals, but munchies and nerves do happen.

So. To recap: Cooler. Bring It. Fill it.

and yeah, have fun, pace yourself, etc etc etc...
