shades of blue and grey
it's begun snowing in denver. thank the Lord that I'm going to hawaii next week. I wasn't sure how much longer I would last in the frozen tundra of 20 degree weather. although, I do have to admit even to myself, that the snow is absolutely beautiful. I've been moved to make a garland for our fireplace "mantle" (I installed a floating shelf above the fireplace and plan to take it with me when we leave this godforsaken apartment complex). WH is not quite thrilled about the prospect of christmas decorations, but I assured him that he will not be required to help out in anyway, and he's now fine with it.
in making arrangements for the upcoming trip with my parents (we're all going for my cousin's wedding) they asked if I had gotten in touch with our family friend, who plans weddings in oregon and is doing my flower arrangements. I said no, so my dad said he'd call her to find out what's going on. fast forward to 15 minutes later, I get a call from my mother, all sugar and daisies, saying "Donna's now planning the whole wedding!" and she said this like it was some huge weight off her shoulders and she could finally breathe. umm...excuse me? WHAT THE FUCK??? I didn't ask to have someone else plan the wedding, and no one asked me if I wanted someone else to plan the wedding!!! but, the upside is that I now have a professional helping me out when I freak and panic and start calling a justice of the peace so we can elope now and get it over with. but I still would have liked if mom had asked if I minded before charging ahead and handing it all over to someone else. but, I know donna, she has gorgeous taste, and is fabulous to work with. so all in all, this was the best idea, but she still should have asked me first. so I'm still pissed at my mom, but that will never really change.
there's less than 4 months to go, and I still haven't lifted a finger to lose any weight. I haven't even tried on the dress since I brought it home. I haven't found anyone to alter it either. although I'm sure that would spur the workout routine in no time flat. so maybe I should get on that.
I just don't understand the women who are so excited about all this and their lives revolve around wedding planning and wear their dress every spare second that they have. that's just not me. I've never been girly and planning my wedding from the time I was 10 years old and the whole cliche. what does that say about me? I want it to be beautiful, and I want it to reflect us, but I'm not dwelling on it anymore than I absolutely have to. is that sad? I can't quite decide...
