First Wedding Meltdown.
Last night I had my first wedding "stressdown". We're leaving for Minnesota Thursday night for my cousin, Laura's wedding and my bridal shower. Between now and then I just feel like we have so much to do. My sister is driving back with me (since Kyle has to fly back Sunday night) and staying for a few days. So not only do we need to get our wedding stuff together and pack, but the house needs to be cleaned and the guest room / bed found. Of course Charlie has been using it as his bed since we last had company, so those sheets need to be washed as well. I don't feel like Kyle's been totally on the ball about the ceremony music. We still have 2 musicians to ASK / confirm yet. Plus we still need to get sheet music for the processional and recessionals. There's not much I like for fanfares and every time I hear "here comes the bride" I absolutely cringe. I'd rather walk down the aisle to silence than hear that or anything like that. When Kyle played a bunch of classical stuff for me to choose from, there wasn't much that I liked in the first place....for the processional / recessional. I worry that we won't find the right music in time and that we'll have to resort to whatever our musicians already know, likely "here comes the bride...." On top of all this, I feel as if (since we are about 7 weeks out now) the musicians should have had their music already so that they can practice and be prepared come September 30th. *sigh* So yeah, music. Packing. Cleaning house. Working full time. Presentation to give Thursday. Projects and meetings up the hoohoo.
I'm a little frazzled. Last night I went off about a piece of junk mail. I keep getting mail from lendors saying that I can consolidate my school loans and that the rates went up July 1st, but if I consolidate now I can save money, etc, etc. I ALREADY CONSOLIDATED! Hello! But they all look official and I'm afraid of throwing away something that might really matter.....so I open piece after piece of school loan advertisements. So...I went off on a piece of junk mail. Poor Kyle. His response was--as he was getting ready to prepare dinner: What would you like to drink? Kahlua? Bircardi? Skyy??
So last night I took myself shopping and walked around Wal-Mart for awhile. I had forgotten my shampoo and conditioner in the hotel in Cheyenne this weekend....and didn't want to take a shower until I bought some new stuff. I got to the aisle next to the hair products and went down it looking. At the end, there were some people of ethnic origin (popularly known around here for their illegal status) standing around in my way doing nothing....including not moving so I could get through...even when I said "excuse me". So I turned around and decided to go around the aisle the other way. I get around and there's another group of them taking up space right where I need to get my shampoo and conditioner. At 9:30pm this shouldn't be such a difficult task. I buy the same brand and same type all the time.....I just needed to get in there and grab it. *sigh* I wandered around the rest of the store and not much popped out at me. There's really nothing I was looking for. I considered getting Charlie a big ball, but then remembered he still hasn't popped the one that's in my trunk right now. I looked at fabric for the flowergirls' gift. They had organza in white, but not the burgandy satin that I need. (Which reminds me, Nicki still hasn't sent me the material sample from Kayla's dress yet. Guess I'll just get it at the shower this weekend.) Anyways, I did find something that pleased me. *L* Kyle says I'm so predictable. They're like stickers, but I can't say exactly what they are right now and here--otherwise I would ruin a surprise I have up my sleeve. ....which reminds me I still have 3 years of scrapbooking to get done in the next 6 weeks. *sigh*
So this morning, I checked my email this morning and the credit card that we used to pay for the rest of our honeymoon wouldn't go through. *grr....* I KNOW we have enough available funds on it to cover the cost. I just called our agent this morning and she has all the information correct. *sigh*
Anyways, I guess I've vented enough. Both Kyle and I are very excited to be going home this weekend. I'm not looking forward to driving through the night....and being tired all of Friday. But anyways. Have a great day everyone! I'm off to work.
