I suck at blogging
I really don't blog very often or well. I can't even remember why I started this thing.
Moving is difficult. Especially if you have tons of stuff and you don't know what to do with it. The solution to having too much stuff is simple: throw it away. SIMPLIFY! I've been applying this solution for the last week. Unfortunately, now I'm afraid I've thrown out things that I probably should have kept. What to do....
I hope I don't have to move again for a loooooong time. Wishful thinking to be sure.

Wedding Nightmare #2
Fiance breaks off the engagement because Fiancee will not allow him to go sky diving with wings made out of cardboard (vs. a parachute).
Strange.
Strange.
Wedding Nightmare #1
Sometime during the wedding planning process, almost every bride (and maybe even some grooms) will have a nightmare about their wedding. I recently had my very first wedding-related nightmare, at least the first that I can remember. I've decided to document it in order to remind myself of everything that could possibly go wrong so that hopefully these wrongs may be prevented. This will most likely increase anxiety leading up to the actual wedding day but oh well.
Things that went wrong in my wedding nightmare:
1. Wrong church.
2. Wrong flowers.
3. All guests seeing me before the ceremony thus ruining any element of shock and awe. boo.
4. No groom to be found.
5. Missing bridesmaid.
6. Bride in tears.
That's all I remember now.
I am thankful for reality - PS booked our DJ! This is awesome and is the opposite of my wedding nightmare.

Don't Cut Your Hair Unless You Know For Certain You Are Not Getting Married A Year Later
Top 5 reasons for drastic hair cuts:
1. To be fashion forward like Rihanna;
2. Following break ups;
3. More efficiency in getting ready in the mornings;
4. Summer heat;
5. TBD
So back in March 2010, I decided to cut my hair really really short - kinda like a boy's haircut. I'm not really attached to my hair and have always been pretty comfortable growing it out long, then cutting it, and then cutting it some more. But the shortest it had ever been prior to the boy-cut was a short, above-the shoulder bob. So at the time I was thinking about going all out with the boy-cut, it was growing out from the latest bob-cut (prior to the bob cut it was just long and straight and long). At the time just prior to the boy-cut, it was pretty much at that annoying, ugly stage where the hair is just below the shoulder and had no shape or purpose being the way it was. So I thought - "off with the hair!" Quite liberating actually for the reasons listed above (except No.2).
Fast foward a few months and I'm hoping my hair will be long enough to be pretty for the wedding. No regrets for the short cut but it's a bit limiting for wedding purposes. For instance, a lot of veils are held in place with a comb. The veils I tried on simply slid down, and off, my short hair since I didn't have anything to hold it in place... not even enough hair for a little ponytail :( Of course, there are options for short hair. But honestly, the options seem pretty limited. My hair is just a little bit unacceptable right about now.

Yay! More Things Accomplished...
So here I am nearly four months into our engagement and it's now safe to say... mission accomplished!!! Just kidding, not quite yet. But we have managed to complete most of the big ticket items:
1. ceremony site and officiant (yay!),
2. reception venue (yippeeee!),
3. day-of-coordinator :),
4. caterer (yummy!),
5. florist (yay!),
6. makeup artist (yay!), and
7. of course the wedding dress (and bridesmaid dresses).
I love having things to do, especially if wedding-related. Also, I confirmed with my now-married-friends who previously planned their own weddings - much of the planning/preparation occurs during work hours. Thanks for the validation!
Anyway, my new plan for staying in the wedding business long after I'm married off... I'm going to be a calligrapher! Great idea yeah?
Okay, back to my real job :(
