Death By Wrapping Paper

Death By Wrapping Paper

Okay, so the title is a bit dramatic, but these days I am dramatic. We only have a few months left until the wedding (!!!!), and life is getting in the way of wedding planning. Or, wedding planning is getting in the way of life. Or, really both. At the same time. It seems in some twist of fate, work, school, and wedding planning are all starting to pick up - at the same time. And, on top of that, we’re trying to buy a home. Somebody is going loco, and her name is Miss Toucan.

(Totally posed picture, but this is exactly how I feel)

And all in the name of pretty looking favors…

…among 15,761,267 thousand different things.

Actually, I have always been good at budgeting time, and I’ve never been one to stress out too much. This, however, is different. I really think I seem okay, but my emotions are all over the place. I usually don’t cry over movies, but this weekend, I found myself crying over not-even-remotely-sad movies (seriously, The Mighty Ducks? Seriously. I’ve gone cuckoo.). I need to breathe. Hee hee hoooo Hee hee hoo… oooh, wrong kind of breathing…

I know I’m not the only one starting to feel the heat. How have you been coping with the stress of daily life and wedding planning?

(sigh) i feel u, and the sucky part on top of the suckiness of emotional havoc is that it’s a roller coaster. so for a couple months its emotional then back to normal then stress again. then not again. keke, hang in there. just think about ur hot hubby to be and ur fabu. wedding day and the life that awaits.

No worries. I’ve had repeated dreams about monograms and invitations attacking me. And I’m five months away from the big day. That’s what I get for being a weddingbee addict and deciding to make my own invites.

I’ve found that a good workout or a walk outside (weather permitting) works best for me. My work is starting to pick up (and is the worst in June/July - perfect for an August wedding!) but I also know that if I don’t take that time to work out, I will literally lose my mind and be so not-productive that it actually saves me time to take time away from my projects, wedding- and work-related. If that makes sense.

That picture of you is priceless… I think I would feel that way too if I had to write 32,457 boxes as well… hehe =)

I really hate wrapping anything. I am a big fan of the gift bag. I give you credit for taking on such a project! I would have run away… quickly. Or begged Mr. P to do it!

Late at night, when nobody’s watching, I start talking to my goldfish! That is how I cope with my stress level at the moment…not to mention the sporadic crying sessions that seem to come on at the slightest sign of anything not going my way. (Don’t people know I’m getting married here?! The world evolves around me for the next 3 weeks! *insert evil laugh here)

And if I hear one more person tell me how close I am to the big day, I’m going to scream! I don’t need a countdown, I need a drink! So yeah, stress? What stress?!
OK, I’m done ranting….moving on now…=)
