And yet… here are these To-Do’s NOT finished:

• Book an officiant for the ceremony
• Choose center pieces for reception
• Choose flower girl, ring bearer attire
• Meet reception caterers, arrange tastings and make a booking
• Order wedding accessories, including headpiece, veil and shoes
• Compile a guest list and organize addresses
• Prepare a playlist for the reception
• Schedule rehearsal times and make reservations for rehearsal dinner
• Arrange transportation for the wedding day
• (HIS) wedding band style and purchase
• Attendants attire and schedule fittings
• Create a PhotoShow DVD for the reception
• Discuss bachelorette party plans; arrange bridesmaids luncheon or dinner
• Send Save-the Dates
• Create gift registry
• Buy guest book, confetti, favors for guests and (complete) gifts for attendants

According to the evil little email I just got from a Wedding “check list” reminder thing, these are the tasks that should have been completed anywhere from 7-5 months before the Wedding. Do you see the tickler up there? GEEZ! Tell me to stop checking my email… I’m borderline FREAKING out… I need Starbucks…

Hello Autumn

September 29, 2008 1 comment

Autumn is such a pleasant time of year. Crisp cool mornings, beautiful days and pretty afternoons… That’s what’s going on in the world right now.. well… for almost all of us. Not so much us Houston, Texans. Bummer.

BUT!! This morning, I wake up, still coughy-and-sniffled.. but the morning was glorious. Bright, cool-crisp, it felt like Fall was finally here. I loved the morning drive, surprising huh??? Normally driving into work if full of horn-honking and arms-waving in the air. Oh no my friend, not this morning… it was quiet, calm and reflective. The sun smiled this morning… people seemed peaceful. It was wonderful! Dear Lord, please let this weather stay! I’d be a MUCH nicer driver. :)

Happy Autumn my friends!

 

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, “October’s Party”

Lauren… is ill. Coughing, Sneezing, Voice is horse and head is spinning. I blame Hurricane Ike!!! Maybe it is the Hurricanes fault? Putting mold and all kinds of nasties in the air? Hmm not sure, but it feels nice to blame the Hurricane for another problem. :)

So for now, I drown myself in Vitamin C and fluids… I’m going to lay back down… sigh… Thank goodness my honey is taking care of me and listening to me whine… he’s to good. :)
