I've sucked lately at keeping this up, mostly because we've had so much going on. This weekend has been all about wedding stuff actually, in some form or another. We've been working on getting some home improvement projects done before Saturday so we don't have a bunch of unfinished stuff. =) I'm moved into my office and the chair rail will be going up one night this week, so that's all done. It's really nice to have everything in one place, all of my reference books and all that good stuff. I've been needing to seperate work from everything else anyway. Writing and editing is always done in front of the TV and that's no good. So, from now on, that's no longer an issue. I'll be holed up in my office most of the time, and I'm okay with that. It's MUCH less distracting this way.
Misty and I headed down to South Bend on Saturday for my final dress fitting. It went great! =) Much better than I had anticipated, and a lot cheaper than we had thought it would be, too. The dress zipped up fine, but I ended up having them take out a half an inch on both sides of my ribcage justs so I could breathe a little easier. I'm sure I'm going to want to be able to take deep breaths on the day of the wedding. LOL I'll have to actually go back on Wednesday October 1 to try it on and pick it up, which kind of sucks, but, oh well. =P I'll get to have $1 margaritas with Mom and Dad afterward. I'll just stay the night and drive to work in the morning.
The rest of the wedding stuff is pretty much done, just a few straggling RSVPs that I need to get, of people that I know for a fact will be in the wedding, because, well, they're in it. LOL I need to send an email out to my bridesmaids about some final things, but that's no big deal. We need to make the programs and order the cardstock for the place cards, since the color of the card will determine for the waiters/waitresses what entree that person is eating. It'll be much easier for them that way. And fear not, we're not seating anyone other than a few tables up front by the head table for the spouses and children of people in the wedding, and our parents and my grandparents. Everyone else can sit where they want. =)
We're getting down to the wire here, but there's really not that much to do. I can't believe my bridal shower is this Saturday. Unbelievable!
I still have to think about bridesmaid gifts, too, but I'm just not sure what to do about that. The only person I know what I'm absolutely going to do for is Misty. Finding a gift to get four other people is difficult, since it's hard to choose one that that everyone will like and won't shove in a drawer or throw away when they get home. I've seen a lot of things I like, but I'm not sure everyone else would like, but it's not like I have $100 per person to spend. So, we'll see what happens. Just not sure.

As it so happens, it's "production week at my house". So I have to preprep everything a head of time. Cakes are first since they can be frozen until the day before to be decorated. I'm so stoked about the design I couldn't be more happy with my plan!
The bridal shower is only a few days away. And it's so exciting. I've got lots to do and the insanity, yeah well it's driving me crazy. But it'll be well worth it in the end.
I was so proud of my T, for the dress fitting, for it zipping up and looking phenomenol on her! Only to hear her ask to let it out a bit, so she could eat and breath for the next few weeks. After all, she's not going to pass up good food and drinks. She's irish. LOLOLOL
