Ms. Crankypants

Ugh, I don't like feeling this way... I am just super duper cranky.

I just got home from cake decorating class, and let me tell you: my broken hearted/funky frosted cake was absoLUTELY the worst looking cake ever! I have no idea how my coworkers are going to eat the cake tomorrow hahah! The decorating part was fun, but tiring. My right wrist is aching!!
Next week we get to make cupcakes (which is why I joined the class anyway) so it'll be fun!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I have Monday off. Yay long weekend! I am from Alberta so we've always had family day, but Ontario just started doing that vacay a couple years ago. Since my works' main office is in Ontario they got the workers to place a vote on whether they wanted to have Family day off in Feb or Rememberance Day off in November. Everyone voted for February which works for me!

Sooo... why am I Ms.Crankypants. Well..... I just got off the phone with my bff who's getting married in the summer. She lives in Alberta, and she picked another friend of hers to be maid of honor. I am cool with that, cuz it'd be a little difficult for me to do that from all the way over here. (and, i'm sure they've formed quite a bond over the years: hanging out together, having kids around the same age, living close to one another, yada yada)
Anyway, when she asked me to be in her wedding party I agreed. She was pretty open and flexible with what everyone was going to wear, cuz it was going to just be me and the other girl in the party. Now there is one more (still cool with me), but the rules were still just pick an Alfred Angelo dress, in her specified color.
Now, all of her friends are SKINNY MINNIES. Seriously, I am not not extremely large by any means, but I am compared to these girls. So I wanted to go with a chiffon, knee length, empire style dress. I like the look of chiffon better than the satin style, and *I* think it'd be more form flattering (ie: hide the belly bulge). The maid of honor girl has something against her legs (no idea) so she's wanted to wear a long dress (something i am *not* a fan of). Still that has been no problem because I've only been told to pick the dress I want, in the color she wants.
I just got off the phone with my girlfriend who's asked if I've gone dress shopping yet (I haven't... bad me.) and she starts telling me that she was looking at the dresses i showed her earlier that i liked and that she thinks chiffon won't be as form flattering... that it'll make my bulge more obvious. She then tells me about the dress that MOH will be wearing and how she wants me to be in a similar dress, so she wants the satin style.
Meanwhile, i hear the MOH in the background saying, 'yeah and it has to be long'.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
So now she showed me 4 dresses that she wants me to look at. All of them would look great on thin, slender girls. All of them are long, very tight to the body, and in all honesty... very 'old' looking. Some were belted, unusual lines. I don't know... just not me.
See, my problem is that I've had to pay a LOT of money to go back home to the wedding, AND I have to pay for my dress. So I justified it to myself because the bride always told me to get a dress I wanted, cuz it could be one that i could wear again.
Well.. that is no longer the case.
I cannot stand any of the dresses... like even a little. they're all long cuz the MOH wants long for some odd reason (no GOOD reason really... her legs are fine) so it just makes me cranky.

Am I just being selfish?
Shouldn't I just suck it up and go with what the bride (*cough* MOH) wants?

bahh....

Oh... pics of the cake to follow shortly...
