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!

Oooo it's magic!!

I'm wearing magical glasses. Hooraay! :D

Not really, but it sure feels like magic. Like invisible and unfeelable glasses (I know that's not a word, but I just made it up, so now it is, ok? ).

Contact lenses! Fun times!
Or, the half hour I struggled today putting them in wasn't fun. It was more frustrating than anything else. Is it the right way now? Where did that fuzz come from? Why the f*ck did it have to curl up like that now that I thought I'd made it?

But they're in now. Along with three tons of lent, I'm sure, but they're in and working their magic. Wooot!

And I had no problems getting them out yesterday either, so if I could just get the hang of getting them IN, I would be very pleased.

Duty entry

I'm being a good girl these days. There's so much wedding related stuff that needs to be done, and I have a one track mind these days. Or, a two track mind that is. Wedding and new work. I don't know which one that excite me the most, it's pretty much a tie at the moment.
The job is big, big stuff. It's not a measly cashier or coffeemaker kind of entry level job (not that that would be wrong, I'm just skipping some steps).
I had to pick out a laptop and a cell phone too. I'm all "oooo new toys!" and the next second I wonder "why me? oh noes, what am I doing?". It's terrifying, but so exciting at the same time.

And so much all at once... I start the new job only a couple of weeks before the wedding. I already apologized in advance to my new boss if I'm absent minded, and then there's the whole puzzle of how to fit in hair dresser, dress fittings, decorations and oh my...
But it's under control. At least I think it is. We're meeting with the caterer on monday to decide on the menu, wednesday (my birthday incidentally) we're picking out an outfit for future-hubby and I'm having my dress fitted next week.
I still need to decide on the flowers, seating charts, car, veil and so on. I have a list with me at all times, so that I can check off every item on it as I take care of them.
I had no idea planning a wedding was such hard work! There's so much to think of, so many considerations to make and so much at stake. Especially because there's three other weddings in Love's family this year. Apparently they're a gossiping bunch, and FMIL is terrified that we'll look bad in comparison. I don't think she has any reason for it though, as we're not cutting any corners.

Sorry... the one tracked mind... not very blogable.
