2 DAYS TO GO!

Forgive me if I'm not able to comment over the next couple of days. What with the NYC trip and the upcoming nuptials, my life is apparently not my own. I haven't even been able to catch up yet with all of the postings that happened while I was in NYC.

Stress is kicking in full time. I made my first of four trips to the airport (before the wedding) this evening. Tomorrow I make two trips and Friday I make another. 2 of these trips are in the morning. This should be good times all around.

Hopefully I will get a chance to relax in the near future. I spent the whole day packing up my room. Fiance was impressed that I actually accomplished what I told him I would.

Needless to say...I might be MIA for a while. I'll try to keep everyone posted. Especially with bachelorette party pics! Stay Tuned!

I love you all. You're wonderful. Think of me in this time of ultimate stress!

3 DAYS TO GO!

Can you guess who this is?



We had so much fun. I had a true NYC experience. I hailed my first cab! I didn't use a map the entire time I was there. And I pushed past people on the street with the air of "Get outta my way!" It was awesome.

We went to The Natural History Museum where I got us all in for free. We saw the big blue whale! Yay for the big blue whale!


She took me to some swanky NYC bars. And by swanky I mean $12 cocktails. But they bar had this really neat backdrop.

Then we went to this crazy Russian bar. Everything was red and there was this crazy mafia guy who never took his sunglasses off. But the stained glass windows on the bar were cool! I also enjoy the random Russian dictator statue.


The rest of my day today will be spent packing up my room at my parents house. Should be awesome!

The best man comes in tonight! Yay! Everyone is starting to arrive!

4 DAYS TO GO!

Holy Crap. No, seriously, Holy Crap.

I'm back from NYC and will post pictures later. I left my camera cord at home. So you will all have to be patient.

The good news is that Margarita is not a 40 year old creepy man. I didn't get lost. And most importantly I made it back safely for my wedding in 4 freaking days.

I can't get over it. It really hasn't sunk in yet.

8 DAYS TO GO!

And I'm off to NYC. Keep me in your prayers. :)

Fiance...I'll miss you and I'll call you as much as humanly possible. Also, I really will bring you a present this time! I love you.

9 DAYS TO GO!

Yes, ladies and gents...we've hit single digits!

I'd be frightened, but my mother finally admitted this morning that we're in a good place. That she feels comfortable with me leaving for NYC. (Thank goodness b/c I'm going regardless!) Also she poked her finger with a pin and so we can safely say now that her blood, sweat, and tears have gone into planning my wedding.

In other fun news...

I GET TO MEET MARGARITA TOMORROW! I am so excited. We've been planning our fun adventures and she knows of fun things to do since you know she lives there and I have an old work badge that gets me into museums for free. So we're going to have a rocking good time. And of course we'll be having margaritas. B/c you can't visit Margarita and not have a margarita. That would be crazy!

(By the by in the above paragraph I used the words 'fun' and 'margarita' way too many times. I'm sorry but that's how excited I am. I'm so excited I have no synonyms)

On another fun note...Catchy finally posted a new blog. And it only took her 2 months.

10 DAYS TO GO!

Wow, we're almost down to single digits. I feel like this blog is my electronic version of those paper rings you would make in kindergarten that would count down the days until Christmas. Mental note: make 10 paper rings...the satisfaction of ripping them off would feel pretty good I imagine.

So I apologize again for yesterday. Apparently the whole blogosphere was in a funk. Every blog I read had some combination of "I'm exhausted and all I want to do is crawl into PJs with a cup of cocoa and a book"

Today is a horse of a different color. (Incidentally, did you know that they put different colored jello crystals on the horse in The Wizard of Oz to make him change colors? That it was not some neat techni-color trick? The producers also learned that horses like jello crystals. The horse kept licking it off. Somewhere the descendants of that horse are cursing MGM for their jello crystal addiction)

Digression is fun, isn't it? I woke up this morning so awake and bright. I sprang out of bed to turn off my alarm clock and promptly crumpled to the floor. It took me a good 5 minutes to crawl the 5 feet to my alarm clock to shut it off. I kept cursing it and yelling at it to quiet down, I was coming.

Why did I crumple, you ask? Remember when I said I'm tensing my muscles in my sleep? Apparently I'm doing it more. My ankles were locked. When I put even the slightest bit of pressure on them, a sharp pain would shoot up my leg. Causing the aforementioned crumple.

I made my way to the shower after another grueling 5 minutes and by the time I got out of the shower I had little more than limited mobility in my ankles. Which is better than locked, I suppose.

When I told my dad about this he told me that it's genetic. That he and my aunt also have these issues. Fantastic. Genetics are fun. He did tell me that it usually goes away within 30 minutes. And for the most part he's right. I still have a dull throb but at least I can walk without looking like I'm 80.

I'm going to have really bad arthritis when I'm older aren't I?

I'm still hoping that this is all wedding stress related and that the morning after the wedding I'll wake up with the body of a 24 year old. The body I'm supposed to have. The body without all the aches and pains.

Doubtful :(

11 DAYS TO GO!

You guys, I'm exhausted.

I'm really looking forward to my NYC trip this weekend. I know that I'll be there for work and not play but I also know that I can sleep on the plane. Not that my sleep won't be filled with dreams of party favors and wedding dresses.

I came in a little late this morning b/c I just needed to sleep some more. My whole body aches from tensing it in my sleep. I have mega cups of coffee to keep me going through the day but it's rough.

I just want to curl up in a little ball under my desk and take a nap.

Would anyone care to join me?

*kisses*

(I apologize for the whine)
