…it’s the little things that drive a person mad…

Things are running relatively smoothly… but there will inevitably be bumps in the road, right? (bumps like those awful speed bumps we have in our apartment complex — unnecessarily high and poorly constructed but well-suited to their purpose of ticking people off) Anyhow, just talked with Holiday Inn about adding 2 last minute people to the count. Yes, they say, it’s ok. Then she goes on to say that she doesn’t know why we were giving individual counts for the entrees.

“You all are having self-serve,” she observes, “so you don’t need counts for the entrees.”

Didn’t I ask that MONTHS ago when I had to design and print and send out the RSVP cards with the invites? Heck, I think I even have the email message printed in which she said that, yes, it IS necessary to give counts for each. Not that it really matters now. It will be easier for the day of, but shoot, I made myself a good bit of extra work.

I know I asked specifically about that.

oh, well.

In other news, it’s thursday. The wedding is Saturday. I woke up feeling sick this morning. I think I’m unconsciously nervous. That’s what my stomach felt like at least, like I was nervous. But I really am ready. I’m not really nervous, my tummy just didn’t get that memo.

Today’s project: announcements. Oh, wait. I forgot to bring the paper to print them on with me to work. Guess I’ll have to stop by Career Services tomorrow to take care of that. Or I could try printing them on my little deskjet. There are only 40, but that’s 80 sides… and it’s cardstock… unless I figure something else out really quick. Any ideas? Laura can help me with them if I do them tomorrow…

Speaking of tomorrow, I’ve got my nail appointment at noon… near school. [streamofconsciousness] So if I DO print those at CS, it should work out fine… I can head over around 9:30 to print them, be done with that by 11:30… head over with time to spare to get my nails done… get back to the apartment around 12:45 (they say the nails should only take like 20 minutes… but then they haven’t seen the shape mine are in)… then Laura and I can put them together and stuff the envelopes… I can also buy stamps right before or after nails… maybe I’ll even mail that package I have sitting by the door. [/streamofconsciousness]…

yeah. so sleepy…

17 days away

Thinking we might need less cake than planned… we were planning on cake for 160 people… but we only have about 100 YESes… so it looks like we’re going to lose the carrot cake… maybe…

need to meet w/ Wendy (flowers) on Saturday… gotta call Trina (photos) about getting together sat too.

invitations…

they went out on the 7th, at least the first batch did. I have another handful of A-Listers to put together and send out tomorrow. Then I need to design announcements to send to the B-list who didn’t get invites. agh.

In other news, Mom & li’l sis are coming down tomorrow to go to my dress fitting with me on Saturday morning. Kinda exciting.

Oh, and we got the apartment thing taken care of this past Friday, and our marriage license is ready to be picked up anytime now. We also met with Fr. D about wedding stuff on Saturday… which reminds me, I need to email him still.

ttfn.

a couple more things

I designed a simplified map yesterday… haven’t printed it on cards yet though… tomorrow maybe? monday? we’ll see…

And I just printed the RSVP cards… just need to separate them…

leaving now to go get stamps.

Have a great day 🙂

coming along

Well, yesterday felt fairly productive… I made “reservations” for the rehearsal dinner at Harry & Jean’s, had a brainstorm (ok, maybe it was just a drizzle) about favors, and had help with Cat in putting together 130 invitations. (They look pretty by the way.) Oh, I also talked some more with Trina (photographer), and Cat picked up her dress; she tried it on, and it looked great 🙂 though a bit long and slightly gape-y … but she won’t have problems fitting into it in a couple months (it’s loose enough in the tummy…).

Today, Jonathan reserved our room for our wedding night… I’ve got to arrange for an another appointment with Wendy (flowers), and I need to follow up with Michelle too (pat-a-cakes). Soto’s, did I mention, is offically playing DJ for us. Sent the deposit the other day.
