Boring week

After my fantastic weekend, I will be doing a whole lot of nothing. Correction - a whole lot of nothing fun. Just 60 hours of work this week.

I've been brainstorming some more about wedding things. I think it would be good to start the reception around 5 or 5:30, just so that people won't have as long of a gap from the ceremony to the reception and also so they aren't driving so late. I originally wanted it to be later, but in February, I am going to be worried about driving conditions.

Also, I am seriously considering forgeting about favors. The more I think about it, the more I think it is a waste of money and I don't really want to get stuck with all the leftovers of whatever it is, even if it is something edible. There will be plenty of details for everyone to enjoy, I don't really know that I need to put a packet of m&ms at each station so people know that I appreciate their coming to my wedding.

Last night I watched "Lars & the Real Girl" - I really liked it. I mean, it was so ridiculous with the doll and him carrying it around all the time, but so sweet that the whole town ended up playing into this pretend relationship. At some points, I was crying and then laughing at myself for crying over a doll.

Also, I have received *some* of the addresses from Kevin's mom, for his family (Kevin is no help with this lol!) but there are still quite a bit missing and I am hoping to start addressing my Save the Date envelopes this weekend - we shall see what we can do.

For my gifts for my bridesmaids, I am thinking about doing canvas totes with their names on them. Then I will put a pair of flip flops in each (labeled "Your dancing shoes"), and a couple of little things that they might need throughout the day - brush, gum/mint, water bottle, mirror, hairspray, lipgloss, tissues, etc. But then I would also like to put something personal in each one. So far I have an idea for Tracy - I would like to put a couple of old movies in there, since those are things we watch together - one with Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis - seriously, the classics. One of the other girls will probably be engaged by the time I am getting married, so maybe her present will be some wedding planning stuff. The rest I am stumped so far...but I will be thinking about it.

I had the craziest dream last night! I was very very pregnant and at a family party with Kevin. All of the sudden I started having contractions, not very bad though, and I was all calm. Then they just stopped and my aunts and mother were making me walk and walk and walk to get things moving again. On my walk, there was a man and I bought him bologna and in return he bought me a movie. It was all very strange. I didn't eat anything before bed, so I am not really sure where this came from, but.... at the very least it was amusing haha.


Enjoy it!
