Over it.

So the insane Samantha has passed. I need a new list. Listing helps me focus.

54 Guests. [Just when I'd lost faith in everyone.]

Favours.

Nathan shoes.

Cleaners.

Borrowed/Blue.

Bouquets.

Caterer list.

Security list. Which is tricky becuase its due Monday. So I need to put everyone I think may last minute RSVP. Mostly work people. I guess they need 10 days to make sure you aren't terrrorists.

Jim is the only person left to pay.

I need to figure out what to do rehersal night. We might do nothing. Also, Paul and I were thinking of doing something after the reception since it ends so early. Maybe going out that night. So we can spend more time with people we never see.

I think its mostly just logistical stuff. I need someone to put out favours and the cake topper. I need to buy a cake topper!!!! Heh! I need somone to decorate my children. I need someone to memorize the Fort Myer area so my guests have someone to call if they get lost. [I hope most people have a GPS. Its a little confusing near the city. I was lost for 2 hours once when I forgot Jill.] I'm sure I need a lot of things that I just haven't realized yet.

So I've actually lost guest since I posted a few days ago. You people have to be kidding me.

I'm having some insane anxiety. It's not anything about the wedding or getting married. Its specifically about the guest count. I think I've recieved as many rejected RSVP's as I have accepted. I'm 22 days away from my wedding. I have 44 confirmed guests. Which basically just translates into me grossly overpaying. Even people who have RSVP'd have then later told me they can't come. WTF people! Maybe I should have been nicer over my lifetime and more people would have come. Any ideas on last minute invites? Can you even invite people three weeks away? $5990. For 44 people.

BTW-I registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Are you still in Rhode Island?

One month away!

Shoes & garter.

Registry.

Wedding rings!!!!

Man flowers.

Hair/face appts.

Caterer for menu.

Organist. Had to cancel last Sun. because of massive snowfall.

Submit guest list 10 days before.

Get more guests!

Get Paul a different shirt.

Get clothes for kids!

Cake topper/knife thingys.

Favours.

Find out where the F my corset is.

Pick up my dress.

flowers

Flowers are done. I ordered individual flowers to make my own bouquet. They came today. I put it together in a vase and they look fabulous. Now I'll just have to head to micheals to find something to hold them together.

Paul ordered cuff links today.

I also emailed Jim the photographer to let him know we will hire him. Just waiting for him to answer me. 3 hours for $750. So he wont be there for the entire reception.

We found ties!

No shoes.

I found something new to add to the list! I need a bustle sewn in my dress.

I'm officially on a wedding diet/exercise plan. I found some shapewear that makes me skinny. So I put the whole get up on.....and now there is no fat roll.....but the dress bunches. My hips have gotten too big!!!!!! The dress doesn't sit on my shoulders and fall....it sits on my hips and stands. So it bunches in the back and falls off my shoulders! I lost weight last year, and packed it back on when Paul and the kids moved in. I weighed 148 and a point last year, so I know I can do it. I'm at like a hot 160 right now. So I exercised last night, and had oatmeal for breakfast!!! I'm off to a strong start!

Today, we go to men's warehouse because Paul's pants came in. He has to try them on.

I found a perfectly matched tie at Macy's. There was only one!! I wrote everything down to buy it online. It was as if it never excited. I can't find it anywhere. So today....I will start again with the tie hunt!!!

Shoes! That is my other goal for today.
