Day Thirty-Something

Okay, I'm not re-doing it, so everyone go here for the post for today. =)

So much for which day it is

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.

Day 85

The only wedding thing I did today was open some response cards and plug the "results" into my spreadsheet. One of them was actually pretty surprising. It looks like my future sister in law's husband will be coming. I've never met him but I've heard A LOT about him. And none of it has been good. I've heard he's a complete ass, and Myles has given me permissionto treat him as shitty as I see fit. LOL I'm pretty good at the whole bitch thing, so it shouldn't be a problem if he says something that annoys me or pisses me off. Plus, he hates Myles, and I've been told he'll probably dislike me for the simple fact that I'm marrying Myles. Oh well. As anyone who knows me knows, I really don't care if someone doesn't like me. =P

I guess you could say I did some other wedding stuff today, because I cleaned/organized some more of the house this afternoon/evening. By the time September 6 rolls around, everything will be poifect for all the peeps coming to my crib. Or something like that. Not that I'm dirty mind you. LOL It's more organizing that anything. I was given weird looks today because I clean my kitchen everyday. =P Thanks, Jenny...since I know you read this. LOL I'm just kinda anal about it. I get it from my mom. Her thing has ALWAYS been the kitchen. Ever since I can remember, the kitchen had to be clean. Didn't matter what was going on, who was over, or if we were all waiting to open presents on Christmas (afternoon with family, not morning ones), she did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen up. Yeah, it's in my genes. But I ain't complaining. 'Specially after seeing the state of one of our rentals....I think if anything I'll just get worse. =P

And yes, Misty will amend this. =P For those of you who haven't noticed, my maid of honor and bestest friend has been commenting on every post about what SHE did that day wedding-wise. =) I swear, she's doing more than I am right now. LOL

Day 88

Um...Not really much for me today. I spent a lot of time talking to Misty about wedding stuffs, but I didn't actually DO anything. =) I think I updated my task checklist, but again, I really did think or do anything about it. The only thing I was really thinking about is the fact that there is stuff I still need to order, but Myles is being a pain about it and is telling me to wait until August. =P And I was thinking that I hope we don't have to drive the cake topper out to the cake lady, because she lives WAY out in BFE. Like, past Attica. And I thought about whether to wear thigh highs or "full" panty hose under my dress, but I know you were all dying to know that. Come on, you can't deny it. I know you were. All in all, not so much of a big wedding planning day other than talking about stuffs with Misty. And I know she's going to comment on this and give her two cents about doing all sorts of stuffs. LOL And she's not lying. She's been doing a hell of a lot and I couldn't ask for a better best friend or maid of honor. No way no how. =) I love my Misty!!!!
