Some Days It's Better to Stay in Bed
Wednesdays are usually my favorite day of the week. It's halfway through the work week, after work I spend time with friends at Q, then my fiance and I have a really great class we go to together and then get to spend time together after. It's just nice.
Today is just not so nice. Maybe it's the residue of the past week's stress. Word to the wise: don't make your own wedding invitations. That's what I've been working on the majority of my spare time this week. I probably put in 20 hours working on them just myself. With all the other people that helped we probably had over 50 man hours between us. And it wasn't like they were all that elaborate. Cardstock, vellum and a little ribbon. That's pretty much it. But they're finally done so it's one less stress.
Yesterday I had my bridal photos taken. I had a free sitting so that was nice. I'm really glad I only have to wear my wedding dress for one more day. Which happens to be exactly one month away. Craziness. But back to the dress - it's big and poufy and even though we had it hemmed up I'm incredibly short so the dress is still too long. And the train is really too long! I had to wear the dress to our photo destinations and that was quite the ordeal! Satin and organza and netting flying everywhere as I try to fit it all into the passenger seat. There was no way I could have driven! It was actually quite humorous trying to get in and out of the car. Me, in a mess of white fabric. I looked like I was being swallowed by a marshmallow! I spent an hour the night before looking for the comb that goes on my veil. And then my veil ripped. It has not been a smooth ride. But I think the pictures will turn out well and that's another thing on the checklist over and done with.
After the pictures things started to calm down and I thought today would be better. Have you ever read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? That's been me today. I woke up super late, my make-up looks like I did it in the dark, I spilled Hawaiian Punch on my pink plastic-looking skirt, papers were strewn all over my desk and got knocked off several times in the course of the morning, I even answered the phone "good afternoon" at 8:30 this morning, and my pantyhose keep wanting to end up around my ankles.
I think I'll move to Australia.
