You KNOW the laundry AND the grocery situation is getting bad at your house when you dream that you finally give in and go to the grocery store. In your wedding dress. Because there's nothing else clean. "I'll only stop in there for a minute," you think, as you peel open that sealed box from the cleaner's. "I don't have much choice," you say grimly as you realize that you'll have to pay to get the dress sealed back up again. Then you show up at the grocery store and everyone is congratulating you and you realize how awkward it is to be wearing a wedding dress when you're not actually getting married. And then you run into a real bride, and she keeps talking to you like YOU are a real bride, but in truth you just wanted to pick up a few packages of Chicken Voila before you starved to death. Conclusion: Say "I don't" to wedding-dress grocery store excursions.
