A simple woman's daybook

For Today



Outside my window... Chilly, in the mid 50s, cloudy with drizzling rain


I am thinking... That in 26 hours I will be standing next to the man I love, becoming his wife.


I am thankful for... That the wait for the wedding, all the stress of it all is almost over.


From the learning rooms... Ancient Egypt Culture, Pantheon, and Symbolism


From the kitchen...Special Brownies and Fruity pebble treats

I am wearing..Floor length summer dress


I am creating... Our broom, started it last week, will finish it today!


I am going... to clean the apartment, so it wont be a wreck when we get home from the wedding.


I am reading... over my vows and our circle casting poem.


I am hoping... that the wedding runs smoothly and that no one gets in a fight.


I am hearing...Jubei and Armand wrestling on the floor, and the hum of the refrigerator running.


Around the house... there is energy of excitement for the wedding!


One of my favorite things... my wedding dress! Its so pretty and Princess like. :)


A few plans for the rest of the week...Get married, work, then go on our honeymoon!


Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Wedding Bliss??

Little girls are brain washed from an early age to plan their fairytale wedding, the beautiful flowers and place settings, cake tasting and tuxedo fittings, dancing that first dance with prince Charming as everyone gathers round and watches with smiles and well wishes on there faces. In today’s world this is completely unrealistic, unless the families of the bride and groom feel like shelling out thousands of dollars, or the bride and groom are freaking loaded.

I feel like one of the worlds laziest brides to be, due to a mixture of unforeseeable events, financial complications, and well pure laziness on my part I've accomplished pretty much nothing in the last 4 months that I've been engaged. We haven't even taken engagement pictures for announcements or even ourselves . We don't have a location for the ceremony or reception, we haven't sent out invitations, I haven't picked out a dress or even our colors really. Of course I guess colors don't really matter when you really aren't having much of a wedding party, He will probably have a best man and that’s it. My Maid of honor lives a few hours away and I've barely spoken to her since she moved.

Basically the only thing that is seemingly set is the date. Which would leave us 147 days left to get everything done. I better get my butt into motion.
