Hells bells and ocean swells
We finally found the bulk of our invitation materials and are just about ready to start slamming these babies out! It has taken forever, it seems. We've finally got our guest list finalized and have stopped stressing so much about all of that. I was glad to get a couple of days off to play with Andrija, and we had such a great time! Madonna puts me to shame, she's still so hot and in such awesome shape! Yoga, macrobiotic diet, and dance.... sign me up!
Tate ate jellyfish at his traditional Chinese wedding last weekend and got food poisoning from it. I got to take care of him and realized that in the four years we've been together I've never seen him throw up or get sick like this. Crazy.
In other news, I've finally told off my stepmother (#2) and have broken an invisible barrier in the process. I called for Mike and ended up talking to her because he was in Napa for some conference. I was all fired up and had to unload it all instead of digesting it back down and causing more stress. I won't go into details but a lot was said and I was strong and confident and she wasn't able to bully me this time. It is a hard thing to do, standing up to a parent who has always tried hard to steal the child's confidence and self esteem. It's taken years and I finally feel bigger. Family drama is the worst, isn't it? It's the only drama I have in my life and I hope to keep it that way and eventually eliminate it completely, which might mean cutting off my father from my life.
I can concentrate on more of the fun wedding details now and I finally broke down and bought one of those silly bridal organizers... it's actually helping though.
Time to work now.
