Responses to Your Comments

The posts, phone calls, emails and other communiques from my family and friends and Becky's friends (yay!) have been wonderful...and inspiring. You have encouraged me to continue this pre-daughter's-wedding stream of consciousness. Thank you for your abiding and loving support.

Lynne: I tried looking for the hair when I was in the car. I parked in the sunlight as you suggested and peered into my sun-visor mirror. The hair musta fallen out - it's not there.

Nancy: I think your idea of pasting a rhinestone on my chin ( to detract from the hair )was very good. But your even better idea of all the women wearing a chin rhinestone (chinstone) in support of my plight was really terrific. Grazie.

Mom: Your insistence that I call the rental company and rent a portable pathway, red carpet, or whatever so we all don't sink into the rosebud strewn aisle will not be necessary because FREAKIN' ACCUWEATHER.COM JUST POSTED A FORECAST OF RAIN AND 48 DEGREES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT MAY 17TH!!!

Flyboy: HAPPY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY!!!!

All my friends: It's clear we'll all be wearing Weitzman's. Clearly the young 'uns will be wearing Reefs and Manolo Blahniks.

I also want to address some questions about the title of this blog: Observations of an MOB or Wedding for Godot. No - MOB is not a reference to the "cosa nostra," it stands for : Mother of the Bride. As for Wedding for Godot - as flyboy pointed out, it is a reference to a play by Samuel Beckett called "Waiting for Godot" -- who essentially never arrives. Yes flyboy, I know May 17th will arrive, but it does seem like waiting for Godot.

Sweetie:

re: Godot

From your mouth to G-d's ears. I feel better already. Now I don't feel so bad about having had my one necktie cleaned and pressed for the great occasion.

And, if you think this waiting was hard to take, remember you still have two more sp****ers on hand.

Loveya
