Tuesday, Kim's revenge


 Talked to Slugs and Dan yesterday, she is improving!!!!  Of course, not as fast as she would like, but I could tell she was improving. Prayers need to continue, as I need this friend back on her feet. I don't feel I can go and abuse her in her present condition.  We were having so much fun in this picture even though Slugs was in pain from her leg injury, I am sure this is the face of good pain control. Little did we know Joel would leave us in the morning, still going to address that when I see him next.

I just have to tell you about a txt I received from a bride, and I am not making this stuff up.

"Hello, my fiancé and I are getting married 6/5/26 (this was received on the 7th of May) and we are in need of a tailor. We love your menu style/presentation. Before we book, we'd love to schedule a brief Zoom video call to discuss packages, and get a feel for how you handle our clothing."

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I started to think of all the hateful texts I could send her way.  First of all, it is less than a month before the busiest month of the year for a bridal tailor. Secondly, to expect a zoom call to check me out is really presumptive and entitled. I thought of so many scenarios to answer this text. Here is my favorite. Kim's planned revenge...

I put on my Billy bob teeth and answer her call, then in the background have kay ratted hair with feathers, with her teeth blacked out running back and forth.  I would be hollering in-between conversation, "Sissie I told you to not let them piglets run the house! Git them there chickens offen that there dress!!!! I would make sure and be sloppin a cup of coffee and hacken into my hands and wipin it on the front of a very dirty apron. 

But all I returned to said caller was, "I am booked through June." Then she txt back, Do you know of anyone else?  My reply NO.  See I can use the word no but I wanted to use so many more words, soooo many more.

I have had 4 more June 5-8 brides call and nicely no.  What is it with these last-minute people? I don't get it. It is not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't.

 Bride came in this morning for a try on and dress was perfect, now she will come back to mark the hem after I cut the 6 layers of Tulle. Sissie had to help me as this dress is so huge and weighs a ton. Such fun!

Now I am off to fight the snowstorm.

God is good

Kim

  3. Glad to hear you do know the NO word! Some people just have no clue. She either doesn't care or has no idea just how busy you always are. You must be the seamstress of the brides. LOL - on what you could have said.
