That's just crazy talk!

I just got an email notifying me that my new Excel bill is ready and the due date is after the wedding! That’s just crazy. I can’t believe we only have two weeks left. Which also means that summer is basically over. This Friday is our last ½ day Friday at work. I’m going to take advantage of this and run a bunch of errands after work. I want to get as much errands out of the way as I can so I’m not running around like a madman the day before the wedding. There are a bunch of small things that I need to buy for the wedding and a few “thank-you” gifts. Other than these small details I’m am pretty much ready for the wedding! The only thing that is really stressing me out at the moment is the weather, fitting into my dress and getting everyone’s rsvp cards back – we are still missing about 35 people. Not bad since my last update was 49 people missing. So, I can’t do anything about the weather except hope for a nice sunny day. I started up my 30-day shred again so hopefully that will help me fit into my dress and I’m trying to eat better until the wedding is over. That means more chicken and veggies and no more ice cream! I gave a list of people for Rita to call since most of the missing people are from her side of the family and I’ve only got a few people that I need to call. Other than that, we are practically ready! We should get our marriage license in the mail tomorrow or Friday and then I can send that in along with our ceremony to the officiant. Then I’m meeting with the photographer next week, getting my hair cut and dyed next week and having the hair trial the week of the wedding. The next two weeks will be busy!

Off wedding talk – I came home after work yesterday and I didn’t realize that I would need a hazmat suit… Phil usually gets home before me but he went to the hospital instead to visit his grandpa. I bet he is glad he did because poor Winston had an accident in his kennel. Let’s just say he needed a very good scrub and his bed and his large bone were not able to be saved. Poor Winnie. I wonder how long he had to lie in his own poop, his own very large, very smelly poop. :`(

I had myself a busy week/end. Thursday after work Phil and I met with the lady at The Orchard for the wedding reception. We went over placement of everything/food/drinks/schedule/etc. I’m starting to get a little overwhelmed about the bill I’m going to get the day before the wedding and the day of the wedding.

Friday after work I ran to Wal-Mart to pick up 20 bags of mulch for the farm. After picking up the mulch I ran to Stillwater to pick up my wedding dress! Yippy!! I’m so excited to have it at home! Now I just need to try it on one last time to make sure it fits and will work with my shoes, jewelry, etc. However, I’ll need some help in that department since I’ve tried to put it on by myself and I can’t zip up the back. :-/

Then on Saturday I ran to Woodbury to finish my remaining errands since I couldn’t fit everything in the car on Friday with all the mulch and my dress. I had to run to Achievers for special pens/markers for the place cards and ink for the guestbook fingerprint tree. Then I ran to Kohl’s to try to find a different kind of spanks. I neglected to think about having to pee in my dress with spanks on that go down to my thighs and up to my bra. The only way I’d be able to pee with those on is if I unzipped my dress each time I had to go – which would mean I’d need help every time I go pee and let’s face it, I go pee a lot. So I decided to get a different kind that only was for my waist. I only needed them for my waist anyways since the reason for them is to hide my belly button from showing through my dress. After Kohl’s I ran to Home Depot to buy some flowers/shrubs for the farm. We are finally putting the final touches on the garden and it’s almost done!! After running errands I went home and cleaned the house a bit and then Phil and I went out for dinner.

On Sunday Phil and I had more errands to run (I feel like I’m always running errands). We ran to Fleet Farm to get more dog food and dog toys that we hope Winston won’t destroy in less than 5 minutes. Then we ran to Menards to pick up some more pieces for our deck since the guy who helped us order the deck forgot to put a bunch of important pieces on our list. I ended up buying some more plants for the farm (good thing because we needed them). After running errands I met my aunt Laura at the farm and we worked on the garden for 3 hours. It is so close to being done and it looks great!! Tuesday I’m going back over there to finish with the mulch and then the only thing I’ll have to do is water! Over the next few weeks I need to water it pretty much every day until everything looks like it will live. Some plants looked pretty pathetic after being moved around and replanted.

This weekend my two very good friends are getting married! I'm so excited for them and I'm excited to take a break from my own madness and enjoy their wedding!! :)
