Therefore, when it came to addressing the envelopes for the wedding I said: I know the gal. Pearl Berdass. Josh's mom. Let me call her now! "No, no Jeremy replied, I think I'd like to take a crack at addressing them myself". Now I must note that Jeremy has better handwriting than anyone I know, however, I did assume this one would be an uphill battle. The reason I take on tasks which I then farm out is because I don't actually like DOING them, but I do like managing them. I do not like painting a room, but I like having a painted room, and having it done right. A little while later, in conversation with our wonderful friend Debra, she mentioned, "You know, I'd really like to help too - I want to address some".
And so it goes...




Kara's Boot camp. After weeks of whining that I really wanted Jeremy to get started if he was going to take on this project: they day arrived. He and Debra spent a Sunday afternoon addressing 215 wedding invitations (though they're not quite done). And me? I relaxed on the sofa with the dog. I NEVER SAID I WANTED TO DO IT. I said I am a project manager, not a project doer. Nor do I have handwriting which would impress anyone.
Please note the range of styles. Debra, a more formal, flowy, traditional style. Jeremy, a crisp, modern style. Kara, a horizontal style. :-)
I told you I was a good project manager!
