60 days

The Wedding approaches, and with it the feeling that many many details must be attended to in order for things to flow well and just go, overall.

The venue is chosen. Gorgeous. Intimate. Very New Mexican.

The Dress is chosen. Third fitting in two weeks, and all is well. I was at the 2nd fitting, and it's looking so amazing.

My dress is chosen. And now I have shoes. So I'm good.

Dad's suit is chosen.

Groom's suit is being made.

Best Man's suit is chosen, as is the one Groomsman.

Bridesmaid's dresses are chosen.

Catering is handled.

Rehearsal dinner will be prepared by us at the venue. Menu is in place, plan is solid.

Breakfast day of is planned. Us again. Solid plan in place.

Lunch day of is planned. Us again. Solid plan in place.

Lots of iced water and coconut water will be available, as will sundry other beverages as requested.

Suffice to say everyone will be well dressed and well fed.

The rest, well, is where the interesting part develops, yes? There will be speeches, shenanigans, music, dancing, celebrating, the Event itself, schlepping guests by coach (big comfy air conditioned buses like the rock stars use..ok, maybe not rockstars but semi-famous people who wish to travel in comfort, anyway), eating, laughing, crying (s'rsly, I'm a sieve already - day of? Dunno what awaits..I will truly try to get my act together but as of this moment, waterworks seem to be a drop of the hat kind of thing.), stories told, and toasts aplently.

Brunch following at our home the next day. Lots of prep for this as a: we will have been away for two days at the venue and b: there is a very high chance of hangovers all around so pre prep is a MUST.  There's just something about weddings that brings out the party animals in us...

Pre-wedding drama has been minimal so far, but I am guessing that by week of, when the out of towners (including my Mom who has decided to attend, will be staying with us and thereby adding to the drama...) arrive, things will start to get a little more frenzied.

But for now, all seems on track.

I'll keep ya posted.

Hugs,

Stevie

Experiencing system issues

Last night we booked my return flight from Rhode Island. The one I'll be taking once I've situated Daughter in her dorm digs. We used rapid rewards, which tends to take a little longer than other transactions. But still. We were on the phone for almost an hour. An hour! Really? And we had to give them the credit card number 5 times. For one flight and one rental car. I'm just sayin' you guys may be the best bet out there in terms of airline choices, but come on! At least provide fun Hold music if you're going to make people engage for that long. Seriously.

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...
