I'm so glad Mabel mentioned that she and Cynthia talked about throwing me a surprise bridal shower. I really appreciate them thinking of me, but I don't like surprise parties where I'm the victim. A while ago, when suprise b-day parties were in fashion, I asked people to please skip my birthday altogether. So, I doubly don't want a surprise bridal shower.

I'm just weird that way; I hate surprises; even "nice" surprises.
