16 days and counting...

My God, where to begin???

I haven't updated in ages and of course, at a point where I'm overwhelmed with unnecesary worries, problems and every freaking thing that involves getting married. A word of advice to those who're dreaming of a wedding but hate organising: just don't!!!

Well, beter talk some real sense now: let's see...

The menu's are printed as we speak, as are the booklets for church. We still have to the table setting, get our best man/woman a thank-you present (any ideas always welcome btw), lots of appointments with the beauty specialist, hairdresser, not to forget my nails...
At the end of the week I have my last dress fitting. Finally! I say, after a few times I'm just too tired to be changing underwear, fitting shoes every single time I get to the shop. Not mentioning I'm clueless how I'll be able to get around in it all day long... Oh, not to forget my mums warnings to "better not mess it up" and "beware if it gets dirty". As if!! Does she not know me??? It will get messed up no matter how careful I'll be... (at least I already know it =)

And those are a few of the many things on my list n° 394 that still await me... Gotta love teh number though.

This Saturday I'm having my bachelor(ette) party: I just got an e-mail with all the thing I must collect this week... it's quite disturbing if you think about it so I decided not to. I'll just get a bunny outfit and all my sm-thingy's, celery, flashy green socks, purple nailpolish, cleaning gloves, write a limerick about teh boyfriend, collect the rest I can't seem to remember at the moment and Saturday I'll start the day with a good drink!!! And pray they won't take pictures (who am I kidding anyway???)

Oh, something totally un-marriage related: we got a dog!!! It's a Shiba Inu and he's now almost 10 weeks old... and he's a real nutter!!! He already drove my other dog (she stayed with my parents) insane, which serves her right seeing as she's been fairly intolerable at times over the 10 years of her spoiled life. But that's just my opinion...

Everything is almost in order for Lo's visit!!! YAY!! I'm so excited about her visit!!! Finally, someone normal to talk to!!!! And about Alan, Sean and HP etc. too =)
I just hope you like a young puppy in a frenzy, Lo!!

To be honest, I'll be glad when it's all gonna be over and done with... I feel likeI've been spending so much time on this wedding, and the day itself will be over in a blink of an eye, leaving you with a feeling as you've been lived and not living yourself...
Oh, well, I cherish the thought that I'll have a two whole weeks off after the 15th which I'll enjoy most of all: relaxing and spending some "quality time"... Right now that sounds like a dream far, far away...

Going back to work now, keeping it up now that my colleague is on a vacation... Poor thing, the weather is horrible at the moment: rain and thunder... *crosses fingers* hopefully September will perk up... I'll sign for a rainless day immediately!

And to the question everyone seems to ask me constantly these days: No, I'm not nervous (yet).
=)

Greets to all,
the-almost-married,
