Update 1:
So Alert Reader SarahK inquired, “Hey, whatever happened with the bait and switch?”
It’s true …. I’ve been completely remiss in updating on this crucial issue. Shame on me — especially when I know you’re all on the very edges of your seats about it and whatnot.
Sooo …..
Well, we did go, and friend assured us that gammie would stay out of the way, that she really was there just to hang out with her granddaughter, not to worry, and you know what?
That’s exactly what happened. She said hello to us, we spoke only very briefly, then she ambled off to eat dinner with her granddaughter in the playroom. She really did go out of her way to give the three of us the time and space to catch up.
All I can say is Wow. I’ve never had the Social Bait and Switch end so perfectly, so placidly. In my experience, this was an exception rather than the rule.
Just remember, gentle reader: One must still be on one’s guard against the cheery tyranny of the Social Bait and Switch.
Update 2:
Love is a good, good man and Key Lime Buttercream Cake, people. Just so you know. 😉 mm-mm-mmmm!
I WAS wondering what happened there. Glad it all worked out for you!
thank you for the update. i hoped i wasn’t intruding but after all the leadup, i figured it was ok to ask. 🙂
I was wondering as well. And the cake sounds delicious.
sarahk — No, I’m glad you asked. I really did space a bit about it.
Cullen — You have NO idea. 😉
Sorry the bait and switch ending isn’t more exciting.
Uh, the fish was really really good, though.
Sooo … is that something?
Key Lime Buttercream? Way to go “Beloved”!
Glad the party turned out ok after all. Could have been much worse.
Welcome to August.
I was curious about the bait and switch too…also about the name change, any more thoughts on that?
Lyn — Yes, it’s still in the works. Taking a little longer than I thought, but there IS a new name and a new blog design being worked on even now as we speak!
I’m a little nervous about it — and sad to be saying goodbye to worship naked. But sometimes you must move on, even if you don’t feel quite ready.
Key Lime Buttercream????? That sounds soooooooooo yummy! Go, MB!!
*But sometimes you must move on, even if you don’t feel quite ready.*
You may never know how profound that was for me this morning!
Looking forward to your “new thing”…waiting impatiently for it 🙂
*chuckle* Sorry, the inflections in your “voice” re the key lime buttercream cake make it sound like you and your darling MB had a little too much birthday fun.
Or, um, maybe it’s just me. ‘Cuz if Tef made me a keylime buttercream cake, I would totally go there.
WG — IS there such a thing as a little too much birthday fun? 😉
