For having such a terrible weekend, I sure did manage to accomplish a lot! On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Candy Corn went out to visit his dad and take his little brothers out to get measured for tuxes (something that I had been nagging him to do for weeks). On Mr. Candy Corn’s way home, right before getting off at his exit, a guy in a car swerved into his lane without even looking or turning on his turn signal (I guess he realized, oh crap, I need to take this exit!), so Mr. CC had to quickly swerve to avoid getting hit, which made the car lose control and sent his car spinning across three lanes of traffic and into the concrete median on the side of the road, which totaled Mr. Candy Corn’s car.

The airbags went off and burned Mr. CC pretty badly on his neck and on his forearm, so he was rushed to the ER immediately. Luckily no one was driving behind him when he swerved across the three lanes, but the guy who caused the accident didn’t even bother stopping. Mr. CC reported him to the police (didn’t have time to get his license plate number of course), but there’s not much they could charge the guy with, apart from just being a wanker.

Right before leaving to rush out of the apartment to go to the ER, I realized how badly I needed to pee, so while peeing I was updating Mr. CC’s mom on the phone, on the verge of crying, and she was just like, “are you peeing right now?” Ha ha ha. I was like, “I NEVER PEE ON THE PHONE I’M JUST A MESS RIGHT NOW!” Note to self: Don’t pee on the phone with the mother-in-law-to-be when her son just got in a terrible accident! So yeah, this week will be filled with estimates and possibly a hunt for a new car. Mr. CC just bought this car a few months ago and only paid off a little bit of it, so he’s a pretty depressed Candy Corn. I tried to cheer him up with curly fries and a happy optimistic jig, but I don’t think it worked. I feel terrible that I wasn’t with him to hug him when it happened and really guilty for asking him to go visit his brothers to take them to get measured… stupid guilt.

Okay, onto happier thoughts. On Friday night I finished my thank you Gocco cards for the wedding shower, and on Saturday I was up until midnight finishing the cabinet that I was in the beginning of giving a makeover when I got the call from Mr. Candy Corn in the ambulance. I got some strange looks in the hospital’s waiting area since I had so much purple paint on my arms that I didn’t have a chance to wash off before leaving the apartment, but oh well. I also finished up our 16-page epic wedding weekend time line, which I’ll be sure to post about soon.

Anyway, on to photos!

Here’s the completely un-wedding related cabinet I redid…

After:

Refinished with purple paint & Michael Miller fabric (the mod podge was still drying, thus the darker spots in some areas)

Detail shot:

I love me some loud, clashing fabrics.

This weekend marked my second attempt at Gocco-ing (I’m still keeping it simple because working on anything too complicated makes me totally nervous). These will be our thank you cards for our upcoming shower:

I printed these on Paper Source’s pool-colored and luxe frost-colored cards.

Sorry if this post was ultra mopey, I’m just glad that Mr. Candy Corn is home safe and sound so I can pamper him and hug him to death every five minutes!

Did anyone else have unexpected drama take place a couple of months before the wedding?
