Yay for sunny days!

Easter is great! It means I get some days off work, and that's been soooo nice so far. Sleeping in, not bothering about getting dresses (huh, whaddya mean, jammies not fashionable enough for you?).
I've picked up the gamecube again, for I dunno, the first time in two years. Trying to get through the first Pikmin game now, so that I can possibly start on the second one I bought, but never tried.
The good thing about easter is that everything is closed. You cannot feel guilty about slouching at home when all the errands you need to run can't be done because everything is closed, so that's kind of neat.
Although I have so little spare time otherwise, so getting everything done in time is tricky.

We have a slight problem with FMIL again though. We got tired of constantly arguing over the little details, which frankly were none of her business to be so opinionated about seeing it's OUR wedding and our decisions to make. So we went ahead with our stuff on our own without letting her know every little thing (which was stupid in the first place, it only got us arguments and frustations). The last month we've been planning and arranging stuff on our own and it's worked out very well until now. Because now she's panicking about us not doing anything. She seems to draw the conclusion that she hasn't been in on it, so it hasn't been done. Yikes! And then she goes into this mad repeat every sentence she says ten times and can't be reasoned with.
The solution is of course that Love bothers to send her an update email every once in a while, which I'll also make sure he does, but sheesh... why such a big fuzz? We're completely able to figure out table decorations on our own. We can also very well decide on which texts and psalms we'll use in the ceremony, as it is still OUR wedding and we choose our focus. Which, by the way, we've agreed that since I accepted having a church wedding, we should find both psalms and texts that are about celebrating love, not necessarily preaching.
I think I've done a good job so far. Of course, it is a bit hypocritical to choose a church wedding and then not wanting to be preached to, but Love gets what he wants, mum gets to see me walk down that isle and I don't have to cringe when standing at the altar. And at least I'm honest and upfront about it.

Choosing music is fun too. I don't want to go with Wagner or Mendelssohn as they're so... common. I'm thinking Beethoven and Bach. I mean, what's the point about knowing all this stuff about classical music if I can't use it to my advantage? I'd love to have a toccata piece (Bach or Widor), but I fear our local organist isn't quite up to the task.

Oh bugger! All about wedding... again!
Sorry... It's the one track mind again. I seriously don't function properly in social interaction at the moment. I manage to sneak wedding stuff into every frikkin conversation. I must be a total pain in the ass.
It's not that much longer though. I have no idea where the time went, but the day is closing in on us. Eeeek!
