Sunday, No good deed ,#2

     Goes unpunished.  Well a little update on my Saturday.  I had such plans.  Plans within plans (Dune).  I jumped out of bed with this idea that I would get so much done and I would be well on my way this next week.  Ha!  Kim plans and God laughs.  The motto of my life.

     Hubs and I did get right busy cleaning the house but we were not finished when our friends arrived and the vacuum and mop sit exactly where we left them upon their arrival.  We did get to discuss and list the menu.  We made plans on how we were going to do the brisket (ahead of time and reheat).  They will smoke the briskets and cook so I don't have to do that.  We are going to meet the Wednesday before the wedding to cook all the custard for the homemade ice creams.  We will make them the night before at the  rehearsal dinner and hard pack them.  We will only have one freezer for soft the day of the wedding.  Salads will be assigned out and our friends are in charge of seeing that all things are out and dishes are refilled as needed.  So all though the shopping and the work are not done we have a plan. (Do you hear laughter?)

     I also was able to get the Jr. bridesmaid into her dress to mark it for alterations.  I am so happy I ordered a larger size as she is so tall if I had gotten a dress to fit her it would have been too short.

     The client who was to pick up the $5000.00 monster dress called as they had just flown in from Miami and were very jet lagged.  They asked for a 6:30 evening appointment and I was fine with that as I wanted to hit the second hand stores for the last of the silver centerpieces. I also needed to get mouse traps and try and find shoes for the Jr. Bridesmaid.  I drove over to Lil sis's and made her come with me.  I was so happy to find the last Two pictures I needed and also shoes.

     I had the whole evening to binge on netflix and do all the ironing.  I thought...  Enter client who tried on $5000.00 dress. Which ended up being too long.  The mother had called me after the initial try on and asked me to lengthen it 1 inch as they were getting taller shoes.  Well even with the taller shoes it is still too long.  I should have gone with my original measurements. So I have to unpick the whole thing and redo it.  It will take hours.  Of course she will pay for my time, I just don't want to do this. 

    I did manage to get it all undone last night and I plan on having it done by late this evening.  But I will have to spend several hours hand sewing this back together.  Not something I want to do on the Sabbath.  They need the dress as they are leaving for Japan on Tuesday morning early. Crap and double crap!

     I am still going to take a nap, I think I can face the monster dress after a nap.

Have a restful and peaceful Sabbath.
