Please make the chirping stop
There are birds in my chimney....they won't stop chirping...its non stop.
Work is driving me crazy as of late...I am putting in a lot of extra hours and I am feeling like I am not getting a whole lot done. Every few weeks I say "hey, if I get this project done it will be smooth sailing for a few weeks...". Uhm, no. It's more like...hey if I get this stuff done, maybe I can have a day or two of organizing and cleaning things up, then I can dive into another 3 months of rushed projects and issues and launches. Yay!
So one of C's friends is getting married a few months after us. We printed out our own save the dates, nothing special. Just a small postcard sized announcement that sort of looks printed DIY. Anyway, so we got their save the date right after we sent ours out...its so top of the line its crazy.
I am starting to feel anxious about our actual wedding day. I keep trying to find ways to do it on the cheap, and I am starting to worry it is going to look cheap. I still plan on making my own invitations, centerpieces, pew decor and favors. Soon, I hope. I keep saying that, but I am afraid I am never going to get it done.
I went to a huge craft place near my parents house. I went there on the suggestion of my hair stylist, who had done all of her wedding stuff there. She did all of her flowers (silk floral)for 50 dollars on her wedding day. The flowers there look so real. I want to try to mix real flowers with fake, but I am not sure I can pull it off.
So I booked an appointment with a florist that is supposed to be really good with people that are on crazy low budgets. I am hoping they can accommodate. Conor doesn't want me to be doing centerpieces or spending money on anything extravagant, but sometimes I feel like its a special day and I just keep cheapening it.
Then, my bridesmaids had to order their dresses. There are 5 of them. So far 4 of them have ordered their dresses and the 5th I haven't heard from. My wedding is in 4 months and 2 weeks. The dresses take 4 months to come in. That leaves two weeks for alterations. I am seriously getting fed up. This person can't make it to my showers, and possibly not make the rehearsal dinner. At this point I am just hoping she shows up for the actual day and wears the dress (if she even ends up ordering it). At first I kept leaving friendly reminders, but I am almost to the point that I will call the salon and ask if she has ordered it. If she hasn't, I am not sure she will be able to even get it altered in time.
Is it bad of me to just say...oh well...if she doesn't make it, one of the guys will have to be an usher or something?
I finally paid off my dress, and we have paid off 1/3 of the reception already. I am hoping that stimulus check hurries up and gets here so I can make another payment.
This weekend we have our Pre-Cana counseling all day on Saturday. Then I have a bachelorette party to go to in the evening, if I am not too pooped out.
More later...
