SO I thought I would do this post. What do you have going on in your life Wedding Related (WR)? What do you have going on in your life Not Wedding Related (NWR)?

WR:
-finish thank you cards and mail out
-wash and organize all the glassware
-make a For Sale list
-Take pictures of For Sale list
-Assign prices to For Sale list
-upload to website For Sale list
-At least hang up my dress (it's in a heap on the floor of my old bedroom)
-Try to be patient waiting for my pics!
-once my pics come in, do parent and grandparent albums (parents thru the photog, grandparents thru a photo site; the parents are flushmount, the g-rents are coffee table style books)

NWR:
-Put up the Christmas decorations!
-Finish the massive amounts of laundry
-help DH figure out the bookcase we want to buy or build
-build said bookcase
-drain and move 55 gal fish tank; move fish to 10 gallon tank
-move the living room around
-get my dresser from my moms
-finish Christmas shopping for DH (everyone else we got in WDW)
-wrap presents
-make some bread and cookies (I want some homemade stuff so bad, and since I have my mixer...)
-pack for OH this weekend.

WR:
-figure out what style cake I want. I already know I want buttercream, not fondant. I've been going back and forth with my cake person but we haven't made any solid decisions
-actually call the two florists that I'm thinking of using. I filled out one of those forms on each of their websites 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a SINGLE THING!
-I'm sure there are other things that I could be doing... but that's the priority right now.

NWR:
-I have to write I think 7 scripts (and I just got handed another one... so 8) today. Plus produce about 3 or 4 commercials. Wednesdays normally aren't busy for me, but it is today!!!
-I'm supposed to have CPR/AED training in 20 minutes... for 2 hours... these scripts are never getting done.
-I have to work job #2 tonight, and I really don't wanna.

I just realized how WHINY I sound. I think I need a nap. or lunch.

Good idea!

WR
-Finish addressing thank you cards, add photoshare cards (seriously people, I'd like to see SOME pictures from my wedding), and mail out
-Make a for sale list
-Take pictures and list for sale items
-Make parents albums once we get our pictures (they went in the mail today!)
-Finish changing my name on various accounts

NWR
-Finish unpacking boxes. We moved in August and most of the unpacking got put on hold because of the wedding
-Keep uncluttering as I unpack. Donate or sell tons of stuff!
-Decide what to do for Christmas cards this year
-Decide on what Christmas cookies and how many to make this year
-Start Christmas shopping
-Begin setting up my craft room!
-Reorganize the living room furniture when our new chair gets delivered next weekend
-Rake, rake, rake, rake. Stupid leaves.

I still need to change my name at SS. I am such a slacker, but since I can't drive on these new meds, i have to wait until I have someone who can take me (they make me too woozy, I have to wait until my body adjusts to them before I drive. I was in a car accident in April 2009 and totaled my car, and it was bc of the meds, so I am really careful now).

Since you are going thru things, if you have any ornaments you decide to get rid of, let me know- Family Promise (http://www.familypromisede.org/) needs Christmas decoratinos and ornaments. If you have any or know of anyone that does, let me know and they will be glad to have them

WR:

-Find a caterer STILL!!! I have 2 meetings this week, so hopefully I'll get something soon! I've been working on this for 5 months now!
-Work on vows
-Choose a videographer
-I still haven't had my engagement ring appraised and insured so I really need to do that as well

NWR:

-Work, work, work, and more work
-On the same lines, continue applying for jobs in my field (stupid economy)
-We're still in the process of buying our house
-Buy items for our new house
-Start Christmas shopping

NWR

There is nothing going on in my life at the moment that is not wedding related aside from me wishing away my morning sickness! lol.

Ms.BriarRose · November 2010

JLJC, I am planning on selling my photo cardbox. It's 4 8x10 frames put together, and you put your pictures inside. It has a top to it that the cards are slipped into. If you are interested, let me know. They cost around $50 to make with all the parts, I am asking $25 obo.

Ms.BriarRose · November 2010

And FYI- you CAN have that glass of wine.

WR
ditto...finish changing my name with the bank, utility and credit card companies
fill out and mail thank you cards... I know I am a slacker...as long as I get it done before xmas
select pics for my wedding album

NWR
Go through my whole house, clean, organize and finish coverting guest room into my sons room.... this is stuff that should have been done months ago but I was too busy obsessing over my wedding at the time to care...lol.

I probably won't begin decorating for xmas till December...it kills me I won't be able to set up my xmas village this year with the 18 month old who gets into everything.

Oh and Britt...just mail your documents to SS. I mailed mine and had my new card in about 10 days.

Oh and JLJC...Britt is rite...go ahead and indulge in that glass of wine...it won't hurt the baby... you probably won't finish the glass anyways atleast thats what I would do.... I would poor myself a glass because I was sure I wanted it and it would just end up sitting there!

RecoveringActor · November 2010

JEJC, if you need help with music... let me know. I work in radio, so I know a lot of music. I also cantor at church, so I know a lot about ceremonial stuff, too.

cfblechman · November 2010

Oh boy. ok WR: nothing much really. still looking at vendors online trying to figure out what/who I want.
Also GOT MY EARRINGS:) they actually came broken but nothing 5 minutes with a needlenose pillars couldnt fix.
And I picked up some free stuff from knottie Buttons so I got 200ish or so FREE frosted tealight holders sooo excited. plus two baskets for programs and stuff and a nice picture frame.

NWR:
went Christmas shopping today and did MOST of it! this is the first time like ever i have done it this early. I am that girl that waits until Dec 23-24 to do all of it. So finish the little bit I have left.
FIND A JOB! Email a bunch of people I met this morning at a networking thing.
and work at the parttime thing that I so want to be done with!

Wow JLCL thats an impressive list. I am so in awe of you for doing this so quick! Keep at it! Those list are def helpful to me in general in life. I have a feeling ill be a crazy list person for my wedding!

JayElleJayCee · November 2010

Thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!! I swear you all are keeping me going! That and the love for FI lol.

MBR - i'm definately interested - do you have a pic (it's on your to do list lol)
and I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee that article! Thanks! I feel much better! Maybe I will have a glass before everyone gets there to calm my nerves. although MattsBride is probably right - it's been so long (haha 2.5 months is a lifetime without my wine) that i probably will hate it! that or two sips will do me in! haha.

RecoveringActor - I def need help! At this point I don't even care! I was trying to pawn it off on the FFIL since all he does is listen to music - but somehow it got put back in my lap. lol. Really I just don't know what kind of music for the cocktail hour vs dinner. I have some jazz buffs including FI's grandfather who plays the sax. I thought he might like some Jazz during cocktail hour. For dinner I want more of a lighter upbeat modern something.. like Jason Mraz - i love him... or jack johnson etc... I have no clue about a cake cutting song or what the bridal party will enter to. I'm trying to find the right balance between old and new. Party of me is worried that nothing is gonna flow but at the same time - i don't care! I like a bit of everything but i don't want it to be tacky. ugh... there's just too many songs in this world! oh and I am doing a dance with FFIL since my dad isn't around. I have nooooooo clue what song for that!

cfblechman - thanks! I don't know how i'm doing it. I really don't.I feel like a zombie. i'm living and breathing what i need to do next but so overwhelmed that my mind shuts down. I have lists however i'm such a procrastinator that i probably will get everything done the last week! haha.
