Lots done, so much more left.

The last week I’ve been feeling like zombies have eaten my brain, either because I’ve had the constant thought of, “omg I’ve forgotten _____!!” or “Damnit, I still need to finish ____!” At this point, with my lack of organizational skills and my intense need to just do, I’m sure I’m overlooking a ton. However, overall, things this weekend have progressed well, but not without fault.

Saturday was a whirlwind - hair appointment, bridal shower, and engagement photos with Justin & Mary (who are, by the by, absolutely fantastic, and super fun)… with a Star Trek cherry on top.   We had made plans (well, I had organized it - fail #1) to see Star Trek with our group of friends at a swank “Cinema de Luxe”, where one can reserve seats and bring a martini into the theatre with you, about 40 minutes away.  Well, with everything going on, and the thunderstorm that followed, I didn’t get us there in time to start the film.  Everyone was kind enough to forgive me, though I still feel crappy-McCrapperson about it.  We went to the show 30 minutes later, not in the haute theatre, but it was still nice.  I’m glad the movie was good, because that brought the mood up a bit.

Sunday was intended to be “crank out Wedding stuff day”.  I’ve been working on and off on the wedding programs for the last week, and finally had gotten them all printed out (with some ink running out at times, and last minute runs to Best Buy for more - which Danny ended up doing today).  Today’s task was to slice them all up and assemble them.  75 programs, 3 pages each, plus cover sheet.  Our uber-slicer may not have survived the experience.  I think it can still cut through some toilet paper.   However, the programs are sliced and hand-collated: ready to be assembled when we arrive in Florida.  Danny got tasked with figuring out our seating (amazingly a lot more complicated than imagined), and blew through that quite effectively; all the while updating and correcting our RSVP list.  Now we have an accurate guest list and a seating chart! Yay!  However, all of this mayhem made us completely oblivious to the fact that we had made plans with our friends Gene and Ashley to visit tonight with Mollie (fail #2).  A gentle nudge from them, an hour after we had planned to hang out, brought us to our senses, but an hour too late to actually do anything good about it.  Wedding planning makes me a bad friend.  *sigh*

I had also charged myself with this little project for the bridesmaids… not that I usually get a crafty hair up my butt, but this time I did and I wanted to make something lovely for the ladies (here’s a hint).   I had made the components a week ago, but I had to assemble them, and I think tonight was my last opportunity.  So I stitched together the last 4 (my prototype turned out so well that it’s a keeper!). I have pictures, but I also want to keep it a bit of a surprise.

It’s now nearly 2am and I’ve somehow felt compelled to put all of this up on the blog.

I think I’m going a bit nuts.  Hopefully my brain will survive the week.

T-minus 6 days.
