27 Days

It is now, 27 days until the wedding.  And I'm feeling it.  I'm jittery.  I'm not nervous, but I think that's the best way to describe it.  Every little thing that happens non-wedding related, is setting me off.  I either get mad or start crying.  I cry at some of the littlest things too, which is really annoying and reminds me that I need to get more tissues for my purse.  And if it is anything wedding related, you might as well have a whole box by me.  Yesterday at church, a couple renewed their vows for thier 40th anniversary.  I was fighting the tears so hard that I had a headache!  As it's getting closer, I find myself taking a lot more deep, calming breaths.  I don't know why I'm feeling this way but I am.  I keeping going over the lists of things, checking and rechecking items that have been completed.  All I know is I'm ready for next weekend.
But things are coming along great!  Mom has gotten a lot done and basically all I need to do down here is pack for next weekend and wrap gifts!  I bought the wrapping paper today and am looking for something to put the flower girls' gift in.  I realy wanted to do something besides a gift bag, but have a feeling, that's what it's going to have to be.

Next weekend is the Indiana bridal shower and bachelorette party!  My aunt is making her veggie pizza for me and is promising to have all sorts of entertaining fun for the shower.  God love her, I can only imagine what games and stories are going to be told.  And did I mention her veggie pizza!!!  Any my MOH #1 is planning one heck of a bachelorette party.  I have a feeling, Sunday there is not going to be a whole lot of stuff getting done.  Especially when she told all that our DD, her husband, bought a boat load of alcohol and will be serving not only as the DD, but the bartender as well. 

So my advice to all who are in the home stretch, just keep breathing!  Because the light at the end of the tunnel is near, everything is basically done that can be done, and in less that a month, you'll be marrying the man of your dreams and you'll be starting a new chapter in you life!

Getting screwed by the cream and crimson... AGAIN!!!!

40 days!  Yes, 40 days until the wedding! 

So everyone knows that I went to Purdue, and if you didn't, now you know.  And by going to Purdue, we all know that our biggest rival is IU (Indiana University).  If I didn't hate IU by now, I sure do now!  You see, the hospital my mom works for is merging with IU Med, which in the long run will be a good thing, because, and as much as I hate to admit it, IU has a pretty good med school.  Any who, with the merger comes a lot of extra work that the employees at the hospital have to deal with.  One of those people who has to deal with the extra work is my mom. 

My mom, has been super woman, okay, even more of a super woman, with wedding planning.  She has basically been doing EVERYTHING for the wedding, while I have been just basically been saying, okay, sounds good.  She's organized on her end and making sure I'm organized on my end.  So let's just say, with it only being 40 days until the wedding, we've got enough craziness, and now IU is messing with me.  So all of this merger is happening, yes, at the same time we need to finalize all of the details.  So tonight, I think was the first time that we snapped at each other! I said something, as an example, and she snapped!  Needless to say, we had a minor argument about food for the rehearsal dinner.  Yeah, I'm proud to say, that was the first thing we argued about.  But, cooler heads prevailed, mainly hers because, because after all, I'm the "Mule" (if you need to know, watch A League of Their Own, we both agree, that name fits me perfectly, oh, and the other part fits her) after about 5 minutes of  "debating" and we think we figured out what we need to do.  She also told me that with this merger going on, she would be a little crazy.  So yes, I get to blame IU!  If it weren't for them, messing with my mom, we wouldn't have "debated" about food... for the rehearsal dinner.

So, in honor of all Purdue fans, students, and grads, I "sing" to you, and sing along with if you want... (Oh, and it's the PG version, sorry, I don't want to offend any delicate souls out there...)

 Indiana, Indiana, Indiana the heck with you!

 We'll pee on the cream and crimson,

For the glory of old Purdue!



Okay, that feels much better!  On to more important things, working on the music for the wedding and even got the limo reserved for the wedding today.  It was a pretty productive day on that part.  I was able to reorder some stuff for me, and even got word that yes, my SHOES will be delivered by Friday!!!  So Tarter, I will be using the clips that you gave me!  And I now have three, yes, three, pairs of shoes to choose from.  That issue is now resolved!!!  Well that's it for tonight.  Guess I should say Go Bruins for Norm!  And as always...

Boiler Up!!!!
