- Lunch today with beanee, our regular Wednesday lunch. I'm very much looking forward to it.

- Ordered my wedding dress on Monday (took the day off because of extra hours accrued over the summer), in a size smaller than the one in the store. I'm losing weight at a slow but steady pace, they anticipate that in 4-5 months time, I really should make it into the smaller size at the rate I'm going. Hopefully my body doesn't decide to stop. They hesitate to do that normally, but she told me that this would be a good idea, since the design of the dress may make it a little harder to alter. I went with dress #5 after all.

- I feel like I'm falling apart today. My lips are dry and cracked in the corner, I've got a zit on my chin, my last pair of disposable contacts ripped, and although I had already ordered more, I'm still waiting for them to arrive, which means I've had to wear my glasses for the last two days. I hate glasses. And my hair is being frizztacular. Got my hair trimmed on Monday, about 3 inches off the bottom, which I think is the first time in almost a year. Geez.

- Because of said glasses incident, I've got a headache. My glasses are at least one prescription behind, because it was either pay for contacts or glasses, I couldn't afford both (with my glasses costing me close to $600 due to how strong the prescription is, less, but not much, if I keep these frames).

- Going to a flower shop this Friday after work to get a wedding consultation. Very exciting. Don't know what I want, really, but hopefully I'll get a good deal. I've also heard that I can use my PC points to get my flowers at Fortinos, which has lovely lovely flowers, even though it's a grocery store.

- Probably going to register soon, likely at the Bay. I've heard horror stories from both the Bay and Sears, and we like the Bay's stuff better, so it's likely we'll just go with them.

- Should be contacting a seamstress soon for the bridesmaid dresses, probably Erin's seamstress for lcbrego's wedding 2 years ago. She's a little far away, but did a great job on Erin's dress, for a pretty decent price.

- New bridesmaid count. lcbrego has stepped down as a BM due to baby-related reasons, but has volunteered to be my helper monkey for the day instead, taking care of background details while the wedding party is off doing photos and things. I'm actually okay with this, because I would still like Lee to be involved, and if she can't be in the wedding party, this is almost as good. And this way she can leave earlier during the reception to get back to Donovan (that's the baby, the great-nephew) instead of having to hang around until 1am or some such thing to do after-reception clean-up. Seems like this will work out. Means we're uneven in our counts, but because my nephew is only going to be 12, he can be our junior groomsman thingie and can lead the way by himself. Lee is actually still deciding whether she can come at all, again, baby-related, but if she can, this is the plan. If she can't, well then, she can't.

- I seem to be nothing but wedding lately. I don't feel all that exciting.

wedding, health and fitness
