Petunia

A tumor was discovered in my neck a few months ago. Adam named it Petunia. The evil fairy constantly waters her because she keeps growing. A surgery has been scheduled but in the meantime, I will shop and listen to good music to feel better. Specifically Beck's new song, I Won't Be Long.

Shoesies I just bought from Bass:

Currently listening to: A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Mood: Pensive, good, and a tinge spiritual, I guess.

Retro Housewife Bridal Shower

My childhood best friend, Jenny, is getting married very soon! Last week was her bridal shower, which turned out really well. We decided to merge Jenny's soon-to-be status with her love of Mad Men and turned it into a Retro Housewife party!

Gifts and Prizes

Whisked Away! Whisks and homemade wedding dress cookies

Cupcakes made by scratch by Supermom Stacy (Thanks Stef!)

We had The Good Wife Guide: 19 Rules for Keeping a Happy Husband. The original issue came out in the Housekeeping Monthly on 5/13/1955. We played the bowl game (think charades and taboo) surrounding those rules. We also played the Toilet Paper Wedding Dress! Prizes included knitting doll-tools, Little Box of Jacks, Slinkie, kitchen utensils, cute mini notebooks and sweets.
