Last night I had set aside to work on the wedding, but J's mom texted me at work to say that she had a free ticket for Wicked and would I like to go? Oh hell yes! Mom #2 had some family matters to attend to, so she couldn't make it. So I got to go see Wicked for free (it was awesome!) and get in some good bonding time with J's mom. My plans for ( Read more... )

I took a half day at work today so J & I could go down to the clerk and get our marriage license. It came with a handy dandy list of all the Justices of the Peace in our county so now I get to sit down and find out which ones are the closest and call to see who is available. J & I decided months ago to go before a JP on our anniversary, which is 2 ( Read more... )

The AC is working again! Last night was pretty rough. We have a ceiling fan and J ran downstairs and brought up a small portable fan we keep downstairs for circulation. I covered my body with wet washcloths in an effort to keep more of my body's water inside my body. No point in letting it sweat out all that valuable moisture if there is a good ( Read more... )

I received an email from the booking company today letting me know that the manager of the hotel confirmed my reservation. I tried calling today but I remembered too late and nobody picked up when I asked for the reservation desk. I will try calling tomorrow or Monday until I get a verbal confirmation as well ( Read more... )

My handy dandy wedding planner tells me that a month out from the honeymoon, you need to call and check your reservations. Southwest has already charged my card and I've never had any problems with them, so I didnt bother. They can always put me on another plane. But I called the hotel today and was told they didnt have my reservation. WTF? But I ( Read more... )

I have more wedding news and its happy! Jackie made me my earrings so now I have my full wedding outfit in my possession.

And now, apple juice and a book that has nothing to do with the wedding. I am ignoring it for the rest of the evening.

The problem with signing up for wedding help websites is that I open my email today to find all sorts of "helpful" reminders that my wedding is now a month away. Shit! Thats not helpful! Now calling the hotel to confirm my reservation for me, THAT would be helpful. Sending emails to people I think are likely to come to the wedding but who haven't ( Read more... )

Having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I just cant do everything I used to. I've always needed quiet time to rest in between people and events. When I was a kid my mom quickly learned that after shopping or going out I needed to sit in my room for a while. As the wedding draws closer I need more and more quiet time and am able to ( Read more... )

I am stretched too thin these days. My planner for the next week is always full by Friday night and I'm not leaving myself enough time to do all the things I need to do like chores, wedding stuff, errands and sleep...not to mention quiet time for me. So I've been cancelling on a lot of peoples events and thats not right. From now on, I'm only going ( Read more... )

Well its time for the annual "check J's credit" fun. We've been working hard to improve it over the past year what with the upcoming merging of information. One reporting agency let me see it online, the other two I had to order. Its looking much better since a lot of things hit the statute of limitations now that J is 26 and a lot of his credit ( Read more... )
