Fritattas, shakin’ the tree, table cloths…

What could those things possibly have in common? Why, a wedding, of course! Fritattas: Because I’m on day 9 of the Atkins diet and have lost 10 lbs (*booty dance*), shakin’ the tree: cuz my poor dad has been editing his heart out on our first dance song, table cloths: because I randomly remembered that yes, the buffet tables will need table cloths…. Did you get a little bored reading that? Maybe a little mixed up or confused feeling? Yes – welcome to the final 2.5 weeks before the wedding.

Stress is running high, and it’s completely and totally normal. Nobody’s guzzling Xanax just yet, but give it a few days and we’ll see where we’re at. Nothing really “bad” has happened, it’s just all of the last minute planning, preparations and logistics that make you go slightly crazy. How is it possible that all of this planning, all of these details, all of this minutae could really only add up to ONE DAY? ONE DAY?! Biggest party of my life, I’ll tell ya that )

What else is new? Matt and I have been taking dance lessons! We spend one hour on Monday nights with a cranky, east-coast senior citizen and about 5 other couples, practicing the “rock step” and “fox trot”. Who knows how much it will actually help, but if we can even *slightly* resemble Barry and Michelle, I’ll be happy! We are dancing to Etta James “At Last” (not the Beyonce version shown below) and our main objective is to not step on each other’s toes or be the laughing stock of our wedding.

This weekend is my bachelorette party!! I have no idea what’s planned, but I know it will be fun, and I’m looking forward to spending time with my favorite gals. I’m bummed that a lot of my pals can’t make it, but I guess as long they’re coming to the wedding, that’s what counts. Hmmm. what else? I’m miffed because one Monday night I had written a  long blog post on my iPhone and right when I hit “post” the iPhone froze and I lost the whole draft. So boo to that! Well – I can’t think of anything else to say so this is it. Hopefully I’ll update again before the wedding.. actually, I probably definitely will on the drive up on Thursday August 5. Would be a good time for a retrospective! Ciao!
