A Series of Unfortunate Monograms
July 18, 2009 Who thought this was a good idea?
Or this?
(Never in my life have I so fervently hoped that a cake was chocolate.)Or, Aunt Flo help us, this?
"So, when's the party?"
"At the end of the month."
Amy M., Jenna B., & Kim W., URQTs. At least, I like to think that you are. Not in a creepy way, of course, or like I know firsthand because I secretly stalk you or anything...that would just be weird. I mean, look, I'm just trying to give you a friendly compliment, in a completely platonic, non-stalker-esque kind of way, Ok? Ok. As you were.

I went to school with a girl, she, her brother and their dad all had KKK as initials I grew up in the country so it probably was intentional sadly.
Ha! This is exactly why my fiance and I are not having anything monogramed! It would be aSs.. nice. I've thought about getting some guest bathroom towels done and see how uncomfortable it makes people.
I dated a fellow in high school whose initials were S.O.B. I don't know if his parents didn't think or, worse, if they thought it was funny.
wv: dismou (n) a groan or grunt of dismissal. He didn't even bother to say goodbye. All she heard was a dismou.
Reminds me of my cousin's wedding cake that said "LSD" on it.
I love the PMS cake. It makes a statement yet is elegant and demure. I hope it was for a hysterectomy/menopause party or a Red Hat Club meeting!
(But...it was probably just some old boring wedding.)
I as really glad, upon reading the comments, that I wasn't the only one thinking the baby footprints looked like there were kids trapped in the cake.
let's see...in my family there is my cousin is KKW (if she ever gets married, I pray the guy's last name doesn't start with a K); her sister EEW; my grandmother's initials using her first name, maiden name and married name are PMS; my mom's sister is (by birth) WSS, and now that I think about it, it reminds me of wuss; my dad's sister by birth is BMW; and I am NEW. yeah, my manager had fun with that when I started my job. I was literally the "NEW" girl. I also know a girl by the initials SEW, and my mom used to work with a girl who married a guy with the same last name as her first name, so she's now K*K. I have to know what her middle name is!!!
monograms are not one of my favorite things, so they will never be found on anything in my home.
I also wonder what was going through the decorator's head while making that KKK one, IF those are the child's initials. if it was the decorator's fault and they just got "carried away"...ummm...therapist please?
