It's such a catch-22, isn't it?
Like 'c'mon already! I want this day to be here!!! Ooh wait, wait - I'm not ready!'
That is so true.... one minute i can not wait and the next i am like Holy crapola i still have so much to do!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*
im plugging away at the projects...i hope to have all the templates ready to go by the end of this week so my friend can type set them and fix them for me (since i dont have the fonts i want to use).im leaving for miami 6am next friday!!!!
fmil is annoying me cuz she thinks every time someone replies no she can just add someone in their place (meanwhile its still 2 weeks until the rsvp date and like not many of her people have said no and half still haven't responded). i want to punch her and be like um if ANYONE is adding guests its fh and me...NOT YOU...u are not adding YOUR FRIENDS (she already added too many) before ours (meanwhile i said ages ago we arent doing a b list because i dont want to bother with extra invites since ours were personalized and i just dont want people just to have them!!!! we basically invited super close friends cuz we were already att like 200 (of course half is JUST my family...stupid fmil has like 3/4 friends and 1/4 family...but that's another issue!)...and she's like oh email me the list. um no...just stay out of our business...if u get extras ill be sure to let u know
ok vent over.

BUMP!!!!
How are all my November Brides doing?
Doing OK here, just without internet access again!!!! Time Warner ***** big time!!!!
I'm at my sister's on her laptop just checking my account here to see what's still on my to-do list and to update a few things.
Had my bachelorette party this past Saturday night and had a blast!!!! I'm so not into strippers, so we went out to dinner and then back to my sister's apt to hang out and play games. My sisters did an '80s meets Sex & the City' theme. We didn't get to sleep until 5:30am and had to be up around 8 anyway!
Been working on candy favors, making them and wrapping them up. Ordered our ketubah frame too. Finished making the program covers, now I'm in the middle of editing the inside text pages.
Will post again when I'm back online at home. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon if Time Warner gets their s*** together!!
