I've been absent from this board, and all other boards, for that matter for several months. It was like Christmas hit and there went my on-line life, sacrificed for my real life. I'm sure most of our April brides have almost everything done, unlike myself, and are either very excited or freaking out at this point. I'm personally trying to do more of the excited than the freak out. We still have a few major things to nail down. Tonight we're meeting with our DJ...I know, who doesn't have their DJ booked yet? Um, me, the queen of procrastination. In fact, the only reason I popped onto TK in the first place was to track down an old post on reception music that I'm sure I posted ages ago...However I've posted so much, I can't seem to find it, and don't want to read through ALL of my old posts to find it. I thought if I could I could save myself the trouble of trying to remember the choices we made months ago about some of our song choices... Oh well. I had my first dress fitting last week, which was great. Took a half hour, put in bustles, turn the neck, easy peasy. Just what I wanted. Been working out and dieting like a crazy person. I only had about 18 lbs to lose when I finally re-started with the plan almost 4 weeks ago now. I'm down about 7 lbs, so I'm pretty well on track there. We finally booked food and furniture a couple weeks ago, so we're really down to the cake and the photog. I know, who doesn't have their photog yet?! See previous answer about DJ. Most of the stuff left to do is either small stuff I have to buy or art projects, or last minute things like getting most of the drinks. We did find at our local Ralphs (Kroger if you're not in SoCal) a bunch of sparkling juices (think Martinelli's, but these are Knudsen) on the clearance rack 3 weeks ago. We bought them all. Saved us over $75 for the reception. And I did a test run of chocolate chip cookies on Monday. We have a sign language "I love you" cookie cutter, so I had to make sure the pinkie's weren't all going to break off if I used it for 200 cookies. Came out very nicely. Getting things done. And I may just dissapear for another couple months after this. It's funny; before we really got into the planning stuff, like booking people, I talked about my plans all the time. Wanted to hear about other people's plans, get ideas...but now that we're in the middle of it, I just want to put my head down and barrel through everything. And then enjoy that day and the rest of my life. I don't feel stressed exactly...but I almost feel like time spent on TK is time I should be spending actually getting stuff done. Anyone else?
