Relax?
Dan is down in Illinois for school and tomorrow he flies to Las Vegas for his Infiniti Master Certification Awards Ceremony and wont be back until Monday :( I was supposed to go with, but seeing as I'm taking 10 days off for the wedding in a couple months work wouldn't let me take another 3. Oh well....so I'll just work, work, work and hopefully that'll pass the time until Dan gets back. I've also got invitations to put together and wedding favors to make.
Speaking of work....I can't wait to move to Illinois! Hopefully I wont have to work nearly as much as I am now. I'm sooooooo exhausted and sick of everything! We just hired a new girl here at Z and she worked for a whopping 3 weeks and then decided not to show up on Monday....basically she screwed us royally. Ugh!!!
I would love to be able to go home right from Z and relax. Dan told me last night to enjoy my nights off from Menards and not to worry about invitations or anything....to basically relax. I'd love to, except tonight there's a front end meeting at 9pm that's mandatory, so I'll get to enjoy maybe an hour of relaxation before schlepping myself to the meeting. And by the time its over I'll drag my butt home and go to bed. I had planned on doing something nice for myself tomorrow (getting my hair done), but when Z-*itch didn't show up we had to rearrange the schedule so I cancelled my appointment. When we worked things out I called to reschedule but my time slot had already been taken & they were booked until next week...Ugh (again)!!!!

3 Months!
OMG!! Where did the time go.....exactly 3 months to go before the big day! Now I'm really starting to stress.
My first dress fitting is Thursday, lets hope it doesn't have to be altered too much. I was hoping to have lost quite a bit of poundage before this fitting, but it just hasn't happened. I'm having 2nd thoughts about the flowers I bought for the bridesmaids bouquets, so I'm turning that over to Aislinn...she's way artsy-er than I am. The invitations we had planned on doing didn't work out, so we bought the pre-made print-your-own kind...which are actually working out sooo much better and look a lot more elegant. I started hand-addressing the inner envelopes and sticking return labels on the response envelopes yesterday.
I still haven't the slightest idea what to do about the ceremony. Dan has basically given me that task since I'm more "religious".
To top off all my stress, we literally have 3 free weekends to get everything done between now & November 1st. I work every other weekend at Menards and one weekend a month at Zimbrick....UGH!!!
I feel like a need a paper bag to breath into right now!
