I had all kinds of butt on me this morning...

What's wrong with you you say? Well it is not fun to feel other butts rub against yours. I don't know these butts. Anyway, the trains were extra crowded this morning and I just couldn't deal with this tall guy's butt all up in mine. I was standing next to Mike and I kept huffing and puffing because the guy just didn't get off my ass. Maybe it was intentional but still.

Then I'm waiting for the train and a lady passes behind but proceeds to rub her butt all over mine. Not sure if that's the norm these days but I will avoid butts if I'm passing through close quarters.

It's called courtesy, don't rub on my butt and I won't rub on yours.. LOL!

The importance of saying yes or no

So my brother, sister-in-law and I are helping to organize a party/catered lunch for close friends and family of our parents. It's their 40th anniversary. We ask them to RSVP. Why can't people do this BEFORE the due date. I never thought it was a big deal to RSVP whenever I received an invite. But, now that I'm planning this party with my brother and preparing for my upcoming nuptials, I now realize the importance of saying yes or no. If you're a maybe, then you are a maybe from the get go. If you are a no, why would you wait to say no to the organizers.

I just don't get it.

There is quite a lot that goes into planning and preparing for a party no matter how small or big. Maybe it's just me but is it not rude to NOT respond? I think so. So think about it the next time someone asks you to let them know if you're attending. It helps planners everywhere. Pretty soon, we'll all be less stressed about hosting events... or maybe not.

ps. if you have a pre-addressed envelope, that should always be sent out RIGHT away.

Here are some shots I love. Black and white - always powerful.

Busy time, can't you tell?
