thank you cards

Well, you know what they say...

Be careful what you ask for.

And it's so true.

Yep. After all the wedding planning this year, I was exhaaaaaausted. So I asked R (the new hubby) if he'd write all the thank you cards.

Brilliant plan, right?

Uh. Not so much.

It's not that R wasn't enthusiastic about the project. Oh no. It was quite the opposite...

He immediately ran out and bought all the thank you cards. He alphabetized the gift receipts. And then he carefully logged everything into a trustee spreadsheet. He even bought stamps! (A tiny miracle, seriously.)

I was ELATED. Everything was cruising along just brilliantly...

Until this week.

A girl at work (who was at the wedding) comes up to me and says, "Hey! I got your thank you card yesterday. It was REALLY funny."

Hmm.

"Funny?" I tilt my head. That's odd. What could possibly be funny about brownie mix and shiny new pans?

"Yeah. Totally..." The girl bubbles on. "R wrote all about how he couldn't wait for you to bake all the brownies! Too bad it'd never happen though. Unless he signed you up for a cooking class...or two. Ha!"

He wrote that???

My cheeks flush.

What else is he writing?

I quickly return to my desk and I'm about to call R when an email pops up from a friend. The subject line reads: HILARIOUS.

Oh God.

My stomach drops as I skim the email...

I knew I should have just written them myself.
