My daughter’s wedding is only three months away. Everyone, and I mean everyone, seems to have their dress picked out.
Except for me.
I’ve looked! I really have. But I just can’t seem to find anything that seems quite right. The makers of MOB dresses (code for Mother of the Bride) have two kinds of MOBs in mind: the kind who loves frilly prom dresses or the kind who is just about ready for a one-way ticket to the Shady Acres Retirement Village.
I finally brought home a potential MOB dress and showed it to my husband and sons. Their response?
“Sure.”
“Looks fine.”
“Wait a minute, guys. I need something more definitive than that. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate it?”
“Uh, about a 6.”
“Yeah, maybe a 7.”
“What?! I need a 10! It has to be a 10!”
They stared at me blankly and then returned their unreadable gaze to the basketball game on TV.
So back the dress will go. And my hunt for the perfect MOB dress continues. But next time, I will wait until my daughters are home before asking anyone’s opinion.
I liked your entry about the dress—do you have Steinmart? Or White House/Black Market? They both have cute dresses—those are two ends of the price spectrum, but I’ve actually found WHBM dresses at Steinmart for a lot less. Keep trying-you’ll find the “10” and when you do I hope you post a pic!!!
Enjoy the day!

As for the what’s new to make our lives easier section….I just discovered Text messaging — a way to communicate with my non-communicative sons! Without annoying them…
