Feeling Productive

September 18th, 2007 @ 11:40 am by Mrs. Gummi Bear

Between having a bridal brunch with my sister and some friends, walking out with a whole lot of anthropologie and a box of sweet tarts that I have been eating non stop for the past 2 days, a wedding on Sunday, and beating Blue Dragon in the evenings… we’ve been pretending that we’re not getting married and that we have nothing to do. So when we woke up this morning, we sadly went through our catering proposal to write up a list of questions so we were prepared for our Thursday call… tired and not at all interested in hearing about coffee bean options, I felt like a pile of uninspired, unmotivated goo…. until the doorbell rang.

Whenever I get a package in the mail that I forgot was coming, it makes me feel like I’m on top of things. So as I ran down the stairs (I was wearing pants for once) I got a few packages, and sadly, no rsvps. We’re missing about 1/3 of them, some of which I have found out are NOT coming… not the people, they are coming, but they are refusing to rsvp on principle. They don’t want to “conform to societal expectations.” I have a big middle finger to those people who think it’s above them to send a prepaid envelope with a check box back to me!!! See if I don’t poop on your plate and say “oooo well, someone should have checked fish and sent back the rsvp! no rsvp/no meal choice = poo for lunch!”

Anyway, back to the package. I wanted a clutch for the wedding to fill with candy and my DS… um.. I mean makeup and essentials. Right… I don’t wear makeup, so it will go entirely unused and fill up space, probably spilling on the inside of the bag by the end of the day. I can just imagine myself dusting off a powder covered skittle and eating it.

I ordered it online from Lily Wigglesworth Bags, which is worth ordering from just for the name “Wigglesworth”. It was a whopping $40.20! Ok, so shipping from the UK isn’t the cheapest thing, but it’s still not a huge expense and it arrived in less than a week!

I feel like I’m on top of things now… just enough to ignore the rest of those emails and calls I should be making and go back to playing some yahoo games! Thank goodness for casual gaming distractions!

If someone told me they refused to RSVP on principle, I’d probably tell them not to bother coming at all at this point. I have less than half of my cards back (due date Oct. 1) and I’m freaking out.

Gorgeous bag! What’s DS? I feel underproductive with abbreviations. :-)
I have to say, that’s kind of silly (to me) that people won’t respond because it is a societal convention. It’s almost like going out of your way to make things difficult for people. But I guess we all have our sticking points. Anyway, thanks for the fun post!

Ohhh, beautiful clutch. Does your DS really fit in there? :) I have a pink one and can’t go a day without it.

I’m all for non-conformity. If someone wants to eschew a suit or glue found objects all over their 1973 biodiesel bug, more power to them. But your friends aren’t bucking convention–they’re being extremely rude to you.

LOL - Miss GB, you crack me up! I have the same mentality when it comes to lazy non-RSVPers.

Your clutch is so darling! Where were you when I needed a clutch. I googled for weeks looking for one as cute and affordable as yours.

“I wanted a clutch for the wedding to fill with candy and my DS…”

AWESOME! I’m no where near engaged, but I’m addicted to wedding shows… I’ve already decided that my reception will prominently feature video games - DDR and Wii (or whatever latest awesome Nintendo creation is out then)!

Oh my goodness, I love your clutch and now I’m poring through the Lily Wigglesworth site. I think I already own something that will work for my wedding, but think of the cute BM gifts!!! Wee!

meleven: A DS is like a really awesome Nintendo GameBoy.

And that clutch is adorable!

I’m totally killing myself over the ds. I’m a student working part-time, minimum wage on cmapus, and though I have enough to buy the freakin’ DS and a R4 card, I’m a total penny-pincher when it comes to stuff for myself… But I promise I’ll buy it for myself if I’m good. Sigh… Miss Gummi Bear, what color do you have?

Best line ever.

it.. err… fits, but not in any way a ds should fit. it makes the clutch odd shaped.

Mr. GB has a DS Pink Lite one, we have a bunch of normal DS (pink and the lilac pokemon mew edition) and so I ordered myself a yellow pikachu Lite edition the other day. :)

we have limited edition color problems.

Miss GB, you totally crack me up every time! “Big middle finger…poop on your plate”!! That’s frickin’ awesome!! I totally wanted to tell that to some people. I already put the stamp on the envelope, dammit, and I coded the back of the card, so seriously, all you gotta do is friggin’ check the box!!! Yes, I know you’re coming, but I spent hours gluing washi paper on that RSVP card, so I want it the hell back! I think you *should* give them something lame to eat since they couldn’t be bothered to send back their RSVPs.

Love the bag! Also on a different note: A while ago you posted your salt and pepper cellars, can you tell me where you got them? Are you willing to sell them after your wedding?
