Rain, rain, go away

[fancytalk]

It's raining, raining, raining today.
I need some sunshine and warm weather.
And some motivation.
I have none today.
My brain has to think up an idea for dinner.
It ain't working too well.
It's kind of like opening the closet and telling yourself that you have nothing to wear.
That's the pantry and fridge right now. I have nothing to eat.
But for some reason, nothing else will fit on any of the shelves. Go figure.

No worms today. I could actually take post-weeding pictures if there is a break in the rain.

I'm also thinking about being mean and having the guy who is parked in front of my driveway towed.
That would be really mean.
But he wouldn't be parked in front of my driveway anymore.

Here's a question - more of that wedding etiquette stuff -
If I buy a gift and take it to a shower and I'm not planning on going to the wedding, do I have to buy another present?

No, you don't. If you want to send a card to the wedding, that's fine. But, technically, you aren't supposed to send gifts to the wedding, or take them with you, unless you were unable to attend the shower and you wanted to get the bride and groom a gift.

And, duh, before I forget...

THANK YOU!!! I am loving that Chris Daughtry file you sent me of him singing "Walk the Line". I can't begin to thank you enough for that!!

Now, if I could only find a copy of Taylor Hicks singing "Livin' for the City", I could be complete!

No need to give a wedding gift at all.

As an (unwritten) etiquette rule, the gift at the wedding should be equivalent value, to the cost of those giving the gifts, dinner. Therefore, if there were 2 of you attending and the dinner was $50 per head, then the gift should be around $100. This of course is different if you were a member of the bridal party itself.

(That said, at my wedding, my Best Man and my Groomsman went in together and bought me a $25 toaster!)

Wedding presie wise - Agree with the others. A card is more than sufficient - unless its a close friend or relative - in which case you should be at the wedding :)

RE: The drievr whose car is blocking your driveway - I'd ask him to shift it onec and once alone. If he still keeps doing the same selfish/tactless stuff - fuck him/her and call the truck to remove his vehicle.
