So, when does "being prepared" turn into an "over-the-top, totally planned, fanatical, organized, methodical, (okay David! I get it already!!) obsession?" When I first chose a theme for our Girls Weekend and told my daughters, they laughed. "You're having a PRINT for a theme??" Yup. And once I had that, leopard just starting popping out at me everywhere. "Buy me!" it would say. {growl?} And not wanting to make it feel neglected, I did. Suddenly the house was being taken over. I bought pillow cases, pj's & slippers, a beach towel, a swimming suit, tissue boxes, Japanese lanterns, table runner, cupcake liners, boxes, soap and lotion dispensers, dish towels, dishes, even balloons in the leopard print. {And those are just the first few things I thought of right now.} David even gave me the cutest purse in leopard for Mother's Day. And he gave it to me three days early so I could have it for the whole weekend. Score!! (And by the way, I already had a few outfits in the requisite print to wear something new every day. I knew you'd be wondering.)
This is me and my girls. Nothing says "bonding!" quite like leopard print. And do you love Cheri's maternity blouse? Her husband even asked her: "Are you wearing that to the airport??" {He's learning fast though, with me as a mother-in-law.} Carly went out to breakfast with her fiance that morning before flying to L.A. and TWICE the waitress commented on how cute her shirt was.
So I've already thought of a theme for next year -- and no, honey, it's not "diamonds." But having a whole year to prepare might not be a good idea either.. . .you know how "obsessed" I can get . . . . .
