Work and wedding prep
It seems a little unreal to me, the getting married in 12 days part. I'm anxious but not nervous (other than being afraid I've forgotten something monumental in my planning and preparations.)
I am meant to pack up all my stuff this weekend and give it to my friend Susan from work, who is going to take care of setting up the reception. I just have to get some guys to take the tables/chairs off trollies and set them up according to my floorplan/layout. I already have that on a sheet of graph paper (to scale) -- yeah I'm that sort of a planner. I have different tablecloths for the food/cake/beverage stations/gift tables that will be around the room to set off the tables for people to sit at..... I have lists...boy do I have lists.
I have a few things left on the 'to do' list.
Flowers (we'll get and make the weekend of)
Ordering the cake -- maybe this week? also tea for drinking
Get some gallon jugs for Theta to put her punch in (like the summer tea containers in pretty colors that were $1 on clearance recently)
Check with mom re: sparkling cider, coffee, coffee accoutrements
Print the programs
Make CD labels
Get the dinner napkins
Find guys for the table/chair setup
Get my dress pressed
Get some pantyhose -- the ones I have are too big and fall down (that's a nice change of pace, but a bit of a perplexing situation this weekend)
Write thank you notes, and get them out in the mail -- I've completed them for the shower but now have wedding gifts to start on
Pay the church -- eep
Make labels for the insides of the guest books
Make a schedule for the day of for Shari
Get jordan almonds and whatever other candies for the candy boxes
My 'few items grows' I think that's what makes me anxious.
Here's what's done -- clothes, honeymoon, church, reception hall,rehearsal dinner, bridesmaids/groomsmen gifts, music, vocalist, ceremony, decorations for reception, food for reception -- that's good right?
Work is good, I'm moving cubes -- one over from where I've been the last few years. We have a lateral move of one of the other teams who will be working closely with my neighbor, so they'll be seated close for 'over the cube' convos. But somehow that's just a tiny stressor that shouldn't be -- my computer and phones moved today. I repotted my plants while they were doing that. I've been trying to save two orchids from coworkers who nearly killed them. I have a windowsill full of plants -- it makes me smile. :)
Today we had a baby shower for the Development VP at work. It was very nice, and I was very proud to giver her the baby blanket I made for her. Way back when she first found out, she said no pastels. The colors I picked for her yarn, are the colors she's chosen for her nursery, but I finished the blanket before they had picked a room. She doesn't really have a set of maternal family members. She nearly cried. I think every mommie-to-be and baby should have a handmade blanket. Just cuz'... and there are more babies on the way in our office and around, so I'll just keep crocheting. I should probably go do that now instead of more thank you notes. It relaxes me.
Well I've goofed off here long enough. I have TY notes to address and others to write, and miles to go before I sleep. So I'm off....
