OK, I may or may not have a problem with my brain running away with thoughts faster than I can sort them into orderly piles. However, I was at work yesterday, in a timeline meeting, and realized it was almost APRIL!!! AHH!! How did that happen!?

What’s that you say? It’s only October, and that is not really April or anywhere near April, for that matter. Well, I think you are mistaken—the whole rest of our engagement can be broken up into pretty small chunks. And everyone knows small chunks go by WAY faster than big chunks of time! Would you like me to prove this? OK:

• Starting this week: Bridesmaid weekend (more on this to come—I am SO stoked. SO so stoked to see all my ladies!)
• The following weekend: Mission Find a Suit for Mr. Aardvark…Also, Mr. Aardvark’s and my three year date-iversary.
• Then, our Pre-Cana class the next weekend, as well as a little thing I like to call MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER, AKA HALLOWEEN.

• The weekend after that we are going to Michigan to eat cake and other wedding food, and watch mama Aardvark do a mountain bike race (yeah, she is pretty bad ass (can I say ass on this website? oops! I just did. Twice.).
• Only two weeks after that is Thanksgiving
• By then it is nearly December and the second week of December Mr. Aardvark and I are taking the first real vacation we’ve had since I was in college.
• By the time we come back we’ll be this close to Christmas. THIS CLOSE! (BTW, what are our plans for Christmas??? I have no idea yet! Ahhhh!)
• New Year’s
• Then it’s January and that’s when things “get real.” I have “send Invites” written in my planner that month.  (Thinking about it now, that may be a bit premature, but I will have to reevaluate that.)
• February comes screeching in with its shortened time frame (29 days this year) and has Valentine’s Day, and Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Since our wedding is right after Easter, I view Lent as the final countdown to the big show.
• March will be packed with all kinds of last-minute wedding madness, and then…

BOOM: APRIL!

See… Right. Around. The Corner.

Maybe I should take a chill pill. But this could be good. I have lots of crafting yet to do and this little time-line-crazy session has kick-started me into GIT ’ER DONE mode.

Have you had any flash-forward-freak-outs? What do you do to calm yourself? And do you have ANY down weekends six months leading to your own wedding?
