So the bridal shower was a lot of fun. Addy is an excellent shower hostess. We played a lot of fun games and Addy taught everyone a painting technique that is pretty cool (although I just can’t paint).
I also gave Hailey the most useful bouquet she will ever receive–a kitchenware bouquet. It had a slotted spoon, a spatula, a coffee measure, an egg separator, tongs, two mini spatulas, and a whisk all wrapped in tissue paper and ribbons to look like flowers and then I put them all into a fun vase. I thought it was an adorable gift. And everyone praised my creativity.
Only the maid of honor, Addy, knew of my Crate and Barrel dilemma and that I had only wrapped the gift ten minutes before the shower. It still went well.
Larissa took photos and once I see them, I will show you all my kitchenware bouquet.
After the shower, Addy, Hailey, Steph, our friend Rachel, and I went out to dinner at noodles. We started talking about Rachel’s sister going to Mongolia.
“I know nothing about Mongolia,” Rachel admitted, “So I looked it up. They live in yurts… And they have yaks!”
“That makes a great kid’s book,” I mused, “It’s like ‘If You Give Your Mouse a Cookie’… But it’s ‘If You Give a Yak a Yurt’.”
This sent everyone into a fit of giggles. We also talked about how the mouse was demanding.
The Yak also received several sequels to his first book, the best ones included:
“If You Give a Yak a Yo-Yo”
“If You Give a Yak a Yetti” (everyone’s clear favorite)
“If You Give Your Yurt a Yak”
And “If Yoda You Give a Yak, Yes…”
Addy decided she was going to design some of them and possibly sell them as prints or shirts. If this happens, I will let you all know, because obviously you clearly want one.
Help! I'm Post-Grad...
