Sat. 10:00am - BE CALM

February 20th, 2009 @ 1:43 pm by Mrs. Quiche

You may remember from my invitation quote post, Brian Andreas is one of my favorite artists/storytellers/whimsical geniuses. I subscribe to his “Story of the Day” emails and love getting a touch of his wisdom every day.

Today’s story was all too appropriate for me, and probably most of you as well:

To-Do List
“You seem very calm for a woman who’s getting married, I said & she nodded. It’s on my to-do list, she said, so there’s no point in agonizing about it.”
Sat. 10:00am - BE CALM :  wedding Bandrea

Everyone needs time to decompress. Couples planning a wedding, even moreso. I have an appointment at the salon for tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. It’s what I’ve been looking forward to all week, so I’d say that yes, I have penciled in (no, SHARPIE’d in!) time to simply relax.

Have you scheduled “calm time” on your to-do list?

My birthday is next weekend, and Mr. S has scheduled a hair cut and color for me as a gift! Yay. So nice to not have to pay for it myself, either ;)

Oh and duh. I’m getting a mani/pedi today after work, love it! Just me and US Weekly! I’m doing a boudoir shoot tomorrow as my surprise wedding gift for Mr. S (and I’m seriously nauseous at the prospect of it!) so pretty nails were in order!

I must say that I haven’t penciled “stay calm” in my list, because I (strangely enough) do not feel any stress over the planning at all (probably a result of my being oblivious more than confident). Ask me about it again a month out from the wedding, and my response may change.

Having said that, the salon sounds like a great!!

I LOVE storypeople and secretly hope that someone will buy me some of the amazing furniture as a wedding gift : ) wishful thinking i’m sure since no one else I know has even heard of storypeople!

I am no good at forgetting something simply because I’ve scheduled it already! I stay up at night thinking of all of the things I need to do and it just kills me!!

Calm time - that’s EXACTLY what Mr. S and I need right now. We haven’t found it yet…

On my wedding day I was so nervous and frazzled! I scheduled an hour for yoga and an hour for a nap, and I’m SO glad I did!

@Miss Stiletto: GOod luck with your boudoir shoot, can’t wait to hear how it goes!

I wish I was scheduling down time in the form of a facial. Money and wedding plans do not allow, for now!

My body did it for me- I have a nasty sinus infection that has kept me in bed. I finally dragged myself to the doctor this morning and am very thankful for the antibiotics!

I have been WAY more calm then I thought I would be… every once in awhile I have to remind myself to stay calm, but that is just normal me.
