Whew! Dodged a bullet on this one. P has several dates picked out. One was to have the wedding in mid April so she could get married in the Austin area among the wild flowers and bluebonnets. Darn that drought. There won't be many bluebonnets this year, I'm afraid. The others were both in August and September in Napa Valley, CA. I vote for those (see previous post for reason). My brilliant sister, C, suggested that I suggest having engagement pictures done in the bluebonnets in April. Then I added and suggested to P (a thought she and I had already discussed) having a "meet M" engagement party here in big D so we can all meet the lucky fellow. I think now that this is going to be the plan.
So, the workout plan starts on Monday. I am not looking forward to it, but I've got to lose this butt before I put on any sort of a foofy dress as a bridesmaid. They say a camera adds ten pounds, I think bridesmaid dresses are designed to add at least 30. The bride is supposed to be the one everyone is looking at, but as potentially the only single bridesmaid (there is a chance there will be one other one) hopefully there will be a single guy or two at the wedding who might be looking in my direction. Hmmm... I wonder if it is in poor taste to request that I be 'escorted' by a single guy as opposed to someone married. Hey, a girl has to look out for herself.
I think P has decided on colors. I know her favorite color is purple and so I was a little afraid of the colors she would choose. Don't get me wrong, she has great taste, but there is something that happens when a girl becomes a bride that lessens her ability to make sound color choices. If you don't believe me, go to www.uglydress.com and check out some of the atrocious dresses that people have been forced to paste a smile on and wear! There are some REALLY ugly ones there. All I can say is that there are some really good friends out there.
P is letting me choose my own dress so at least I can pick a flattering style. She wants it to be in a grayish lavender color. I don't think that sounds too bad to be honest. Actually, the whole thing has been kind of fun so far. P an I have gushed and giggled and are making plans and I think it's all going to be okay. Check back in about 4 months and we'll see, I guess.

Why thank you--you flatter me with the brilliant descriptive. And I tried to pick mostly non-obnoxious bridesmaid's dresses for you and A. Unfortunately, there's not a lot in that category out there.
And if you really want the weight loss, we'll introduce you to our new trainer. Absolutely no sense of humor when it comes to exercising. I told P. when we met him that he was going to hurt us. The man WARMS UP with 60 lb. weights, for Pete's sake.
Well, you are a brilliant sister! But, see, even a former bride admits that there isn't a lot out there in the way of non attrocious bride's maid dresses! (P.S. Love you, sis!)
