Knotties, you're always so good with advice that I'm immediately turning to you for immediate help. Here's what's going down:
I am notoriously bad at opening mail. I have no excuses because I'm a grown adult, but that's the way it is. FI usually gets the mail & sets it on the counter or in the huge mess of junk mail on the desk in our office. If there's something for me that's doesn't look like junk mail, he'll typically set it aside, but other than that, it goes into the Disappearing Pile of Junk Mail on our desk. Today, I was feeling productive and decided to tackle the mound of trees sitting there. I opened every piece and divided them into piles.
I came across an envelope from Shutterfly addressed to me. I opened it to find a picture booklet with photos of a very good friend of mine and me over the years with really cute quotes about friendship. At the end of the book, it said, "Will you be my bridesmaid?"
MY JAW DROPPED. I knew this had been sent at least a few months ago, as my girlfriend has already gone with her three bridesmaids to pick out their dresses. And all this time, I had NO idea she had asked me to be a bridesmaid!
I am so upset, because she probably thought it was really shitty of me not to even ACKNOWLEDGE her asking. I am so honored she thought of me to stand up for her! She's at work right now but I just asked her to stop over afterwards. My plan is to tell her the truth: I suck at being an adult when it comes to opening mail, and today while cleaning I found the book she sent me. I'm going to let her know how honored I am that she asked and that I am very sorry if she thought I was avoiding the topic.
Do you ladies have any input besides "Be more responsible with your mail, ElcaB!"? Anything I should add when she comes over tonight? I've been crying about this since it happened about a half hour ago. I feel terrible.
