Updatey.

My mother and soon-to-be mother-in-law threw me a rather lovely ladies-who-lunch type shower on Saturday, which focused more on the material items we have registered for (rather than the honeymoon account, though we did get a couple nice donations). So now we have beautiful new kitchen items arranged attractively upon the living room table, since my plan for finishing the kitchen is going much slower than originally intended. But as I said before, I'm letting that pressure on myself go, and I am just going to do everything as I can without making myself crazy. So we will just admire the new servers and bowls and linens as we walk in the house each day for now until I finish more permanent places to put them.

I am also letting some details go because they do not really change or effect the final outcome, which is that everyone is going to have fun/food/wine, and David and I will be married at the end of it. Originally I was going to do assigned table seating, mostly because I wanted to be sure different friends had a chance to meet new people - and also because I liked the idea of creating a big poster for it, I admit. However, I know my friends tend to be pretty outgoing and will probably interact just fine without me creating a big dumb construct for it to happen. And I'm not going to think about those damn table runners anymore - I won't hem anymore of them, but I have cut the edges with pinking shears and I'll just use them with the jagged edges. Which I think is sort of sweet and homemade looking and that really fits into what we're going for here anyway.

That really leaves ONLY my dress work and food, and that feels reasonable and do-able and non-stressful. Oh, and finishing the guest/picture book so it will be ready for our Polaroid photo-booth, but I finished most of it last night while watching The Departed (finally, after having the Netflix dvd for a month, and lordy was it good).

I have fallen sorely behind on the little 365 project on Flickr, but oh well. I just haven't been carrying my camera recently. I don't know why. Just busy and not thinking about it. I am going to try and get back to it this month though. It's sort of an important month. It is fun and so romantic and sexy and we are, honestly, the goofy couple who every evening now lays down and says "27 days! I can't believe it! I love you!" and then we do it. Which is also kind of funny because while I know the relationship psychology changes, our days are not suddenly going to change dramatically once we get married. We will probably just wake up and say "We are married! I can't believe it! I love you!" and then we'll do it.

What else. We had a fun weekend; both worked Friday night at Doublewide and made some decent cash. David worked there Saturday night too, and I wanted to see the show so I was there as well. I've been meaning to see if it was a full moon, because the crazies were out in FULL EFFECT that night. I was happy to be sober so I could stay level-headed through it all, but a couple lunatic girls were drawn to me during the I Love Math set, and I was so irritated they kept talking to me through the band I wanted to see that I wanted to escort them out (I did nothing to encourage them to talk to me, by the way. I don't know why they picked me, but it seemed pretty random.). PLEASE, PEOPLE. If you just want to babble incoherently, please do it to someone at the bar and NOT in the venue where they might want to pay attention to the show. Kthanx.
