three months!
I'm finally used to working a full time schedule. Being at work for eight hours at a time is fine, it's just not having as much time in the rest of the day that sucks! I have a lot more to do at work, and less time stuck on the desk to spend doing those things. Nothing exciting really, although I'll be running our nonfiction book club now. We had two meetings that I facilitated thus far, and they went pretty well. The people who come for it are really nice and tend to have a lot to say about the books. The hardest part so far has been picking the books for next year, since I don't read any nonfiction. I managed to pull together 7, though I haven't read any of them aside from Persepolis (because I really wanted to make them do a comic).
Aside from work, wedding stuff is going pretty well.
What we have done so far: venue, my dress is purchased, catering might be figured out (a deli we like said "order stuff a few days in advance"), guest list is solid I think, and we've gotten both our rings (well, we're waiting on mine to come in).
Stuff we have going: We met with an officiant and we're figuring out the ceremony with her, I have an appointment with a tailor to halve my dress, favors are half made and will be worked on this weekend, I bought a few things for centerpieces, John's suit is being considered, and our invitations are in the works. I know I need to order/book/whatever linens and figure out flowers, at least. Lots of things started, few things finished, and I'm sure a million things yet to be brought to my attention so I can freak out about them. I decided a few weeks ago that I just wasn't going to let it stress me out. We want the whole thing to be as laid back as we can make it, so why shouldn't it be like that the whole way through? I'm sure that isn't realistic!
