I went to get my eyebrows done yesterday while I was enjoying my day off work. I wish I had taken today off work too, everyone is freaking out because we have a seminar coming up and we have to make all of the books for it. It's really stupid stuff but I work with some pretty dramatic people who never fail to see the clouds on a sunny day. They pretty much suck. And they like it. If they didn't suck, what would they complain about? Anyway, about my eyebrows. I was thinking about how pointless it is that I get my eyebrows done. I know the shape, if I wanted to I could just keep them up myself without making the appointments, going in, spending money, and then doing it all over again. I've been going to Jennifer for probably about three years or more, and I love her. We get along so well, we talk about everything, I know all about her family, her boyfriend, some of their problems, and she even asked me if I would work for her if she opened her own salon. Yeah, I'm sure you're thinking, "gee Ang, what would you do in a salon with a history degree?" Not a whole hell of a lot of anything. Just answer the phone you know, stuff like that. So anyway, this thought bothers me a little. Do I only go get my eyebrows done (by done I mean waxed) so I can see Jen and we can have our once every three-to-four week chat? So we can catch up on each others lives?? Am I PAYING for friendship?!? So I let it bother me for a while, and I thought about it a lot, and I've come to the conclusion: I love Jen and I love my eyebrows. Maybe someday I can stop thinking of it as buying friendship. Makes me feel a little pathetic.
Here is a picture of some favors for the wedding that I think I like. They would be simple to make. Of course ours would be a "T" instead of a "D". I think a lot of people would like them, and I don't think it would be too expensive. I think they have a card attached to the back of the bag, we (read: I) could put a little note on there from us. I like the idea. The other idea is to get custom cookies from the Cookie Cottage (HEAVEN) and have an image (probably our names with a wedding cake clipart thing) put on them. I'm not sure which I like better.
"You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live.
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend"
-Queen,
You're My Best Friend
Which ever is cheaper is always best! LoL Another idea if you're going for cookies-- have you ever thought about doing them yourself? Make it into a party and have everyone over to help you. They may not be perfect, but it's a little more personable. Just an idea..?
ReplyDeleteSomeone also told me about something they did at their wedding: they went to goodwill and bought random coffee mugs and put a little note w/ a little bag of coffee in them for everyone. I thought that was kind of cute.
