I have just snuck a look at the Ten Commandments of my alternate career path.
PS. Did everyone know that postage is going up again in January? Better stock up on Forever stamps now...

Thanks mom. I mean, Hamlin's.
Just a little guilt trip life lesson to start my Thursday morning. Though not as creatively worded as last week's thought of the day.

A brief time-out as a wedding invitation designer
And a time-in for some serious empathy for my past, present and future brides-to-be.
I have to admit that I really never thought about the stress of planning a wedding and all it's nitty gritty ...especially since I'm usually on the receiving end of "we want 200 invitations, and make them ecru", but after spending last night at a wedding show (full of potential harpists, caterers and the odd bag piper) I have a newfound respect for people who can make solid plans in regards to weddings (as well as the fonts that will represent them), as I couldn't even answer (or fake) the date of my own wedding-to-be to the attendance-taker.

I hope this grey area doesn't extend to my food...
...but I notice that Kroger takes a very PC approach as to not stir up aisle-fighting common in the Harris Teeter across town.

Scoring... and SCORE!
There are so many reasons that I love the minutae that wedding-program production consists of. And today, it was for a chance to see Elizabeth and Kovacs go DOWN.
