it's march. it's wedding week.

ok, well this really snuck up on me.

how does 3.5 months go by so fast?? it is march 1st, i'm getting married march 6th! so i'll spend the next 3 days crazy busy at work, trying to wrap things up before i leave for 2 weeks. and then family starts to trickle in wednesday night. wedding festivities start thursday and by saturday night, i'm going to need the vacation we're taking!!

this weekend was glorious, though. i spent saturday morning with two of my favorite ladies at the blue duck tavern for brunch and then to the kennedy center to see a matinee of the great gatsby ballet. with not only ballet, but a 10 piece jazz band with singers, and a tap dancer! it was so fun to hang out with the girls and be distracted for a little while from wedding stress. saturday night i met up with TH and we spent the remainder of the weekend working on the apartment. building ikea furniture, buying rugs, hanging shelves, hooks, and setting up the TV. it's taking a while, but i think we will have most of it done by this weekend. yay!

any last minute tips for enjoying the wedding week with out getting too stressed? also dieting tips are totally welcome.

try to completely blank out on at least one conversation per day. Wedding related especially. Just let your mind go completely blank. Ultra relaxing, and the other person will never know. Just don't do it to me, because i will know. I am the queen of the blank stares.

my mom sent me to her friend's salon for a facial a few days before the wedding. so relaxing. also we went to robert plant/alison krauss as a family and that was also pretty much amazing, and fun to be with my family in a non-wedding-stress situation.

and since i blank out on a least one conversation a day as it is, i can vouch for that recommendation too.

congrats girlie. and i've been told it's ok if you purge after eating as long as you don't get addicted
