Ah, isn’t the invitation lovely? Yes. Well. I neglected to mention that Photoshop crashed when I tried to save it (“But it can’t crash! I didn’t save yet! Because I’m saving NOW!”). Dane came along, patted my shoulder and said, “It’s always easier the second time around.” He didn’t add that it’s also more annoying the second time. But I whipped up the same invitation, this time saving every step along the way, and sent it out.

And the next morning, I had a lovely email pointing out that March 11 is a Sunday, not a Saturday, as I had indicated on the invitation. Oddly, only ONE of the people I sent the invitation to noticed this. Also oddly, I do this EVERY SINGLE TIME we throw a party. For future reference, looking at the wrong month will cause your day and date not to match up. Checking a 2006 or 2008 calendar for a 2007 date will result in a screw up. I also do not recommend attempting to count forward from today’s date, especially without consulting a reliable source as to what today’s date actually IS.

At any rate, I changed the date on the invitation, re-saved, and re-sent. Except I didn’t re-size, so I sent everyone a 22” x 33” invitation. Argggh. Re-size, re-send! With an apology for clogging everyone’s inboxes! Luckily, “everyone” consists of a handful of relatives and a couple of close friends unlikely to disown me over a smattering of annoying email.
