Right before Day 100 of this blog I have an announcement:
My faux boyfriend and I broke up.
Haha!
Well, so for Bride Brain's wedding I made up this boyfriend who was sooo great. But now the wedding is like a month away and this boyfriend has not shown up.
And since I'm so bad at lying my middle sister told me I should just end things. So this morning Legal Eagle sent BB an email about the wedding and included that I broke up with my boyfriend.
Here's what happened:
Just recently, this was all very short notice, he got his dream job offer -- on the East Coast! I know, tragic. So I knew it was what he wanted so I was all supportive...awww.
So he just left for it this last week and I'm all sad. Boo hoo. We decided not to do the long distance thing, that it was just best for us. And while it's been a rough week for me, as LE noted, I am looking forward to LE's bday and think that will help get me out of my funk.
Now here is the weird part. When LE was writing it and we were talking about it, there was a moment when we were like, "Aw, this is sad." So, even fake break-ups are sad.
Please excuse me while I mourn the end of my faux relationship.

Day 44 - And My Boyfriend Is...
A Surfer!
Legal Eagle wrote our little email to Bride Brain about our boyfriends and whatnot. Apparently they are both surfers who live near the beach and like a block away from each other!
^ Are you my boyfriend?
And when I thought LE was taking it too far making them both surfers, she responded oh-so-wisely:
Well, come on, everyone out here is a surfer.
So, we didn’t give them names or anything, but apparently we have been dating them for a while, oh and Mom and Dad, you already met them both and adore them. Yeah, we’ve even brought our parents into this!
I’m just happy to have all this documented in email because I have the worst time sticking to lies and remembering stories.
In fabulous other news, my review of Californication is one of the top stories on Buzzine. Go me!
California is quite hot right now, 80s or so, but I here Chicago is quite chilly. Let’s just hope it doesn’t snow there anytime soon!!

Day 43 - Attack Of The Bride Brain
OK, the wedding stuff is now out of control.
We got a response to all of our questions from Bride Brain and it was mighty long.
First, she told us she is going to get us a bigger size than what is measured so that we can just get it altered, to which Legal Eagle said:
Why not just buy us what size we measured and then we don’t have to pay for alterations?
LE and me: 1 BB: 0
The dresses, we were informed after we made sure to ask, will cost about $160. Ouch. And we were naive enough to think she was treating since she is ordering and wouldn’t let us get them out here. Oh, and since I’m tall, I get to pay extra for extra length.
LE and me: 1 BB: 1
And we were informed that the shoes will be 1 or 2 inches, no more. I have two pairs of small heeled shoes and only because they are awesome. And I know they are going to be those cliched bridal party shoes. If this is the case, can’t we just wear flip-flops?
LE and me:1 BB:2
Now, the rehearsal is on a Friday, wedding on Saturday, brunch and gift opening on Sunday. We plan on having to fly back on Sunday (although we might stick around and nurse our hangovers, order room service and laugh about all the awkward moments from the previous night), but BB won’t know and we are NOT going to a gift opening.
LE and me: 2 BB:2
She caught on to the boyfriend thing LE mentioned and has now asked about them. As Gary from WILAY would say, “Oh my damn.” But LE is very focused and going to take this on full steam ahead, so looks like I am on board.
This is a toss up as it could go well and we could get boyfriends, or horribly and get lost in our lies.
LE and me: 2 BB:2
She told us we might want to look at staying at the hotel that her and her hubby-to-be will stay the night of the wedding…ew!
LE and me: 2 BB:2 my mind:forever tortured
^Bride Brain
So LE had a brilliant idea that tonight, after working out, we will eat, crack open a bottle of wine and reply with all the news about our boyfriends. Again, “Oh my damn.”
Oh, but here is an awesome conversation LE and I had about our “boyfriends.”
LE: You’re gonna be like, “Oh, this is Juniper.”
Me: Juniper? Why would my fake boyfriend be named Juniper?
LE: You’ll be Molly and Juniper.
Me: (beginning to laugh).
LE: Mine will be like, “Babe I can’t find my name for seating.” And I’ll be like, “It’s under JoJo. You’re sitting next to Juniper.”
Me: JoJo? (more laughing)
LE: Yeah, JoJo and Juniper.
Me: They sound like a partnership of some sort.
LE: Hmm…let’s just hope they’re not that type of partnership.
Now I really can’t wait to meet JoJo and Juniper!
