Less than 5 months.

Yes, it's me once again. The fabulous, stressed out, slightly overweight, very PMSing, and very sleepy bride to be. The wedding is now less than 5 months away. I am glad. We are going to start painting and have already started the process of packing and tossing 7 years of "collected matter" that resides in the remnants of my apartment.

His mom is in the hospital, and i hope all will work out for the best. Hate to see her in pain and hurting. Hope all the test results come back favorably, and she is on her way to normal again. Normal is good. Not knowing how she is going to be in four months does tend to worry me a little, but not so much as to drop everything and panic.

I am so glad I am not having a very fancy wedding. Everything is simple and plain. That is good. There is less to mess up that way and I feel like I can focus more on the "merging of 2 homes and finances" portion of the prenuptial activities. Because of my lack of inspiration these last 4 months, I feel as though the simple style is the fastest and most efficient means of achieving the desired end result. That being, to just get through the damn shower, wedding and reception without any major fuss or drama. To open the gifts (preferably without an audience) that will most likely be piled in our garage with everything else and send out thank you notes as swiftly as possible.

I'm looking forward to the honeymoon on the beach resort, and have already started fantasizing about the all inclusive food and beverage. Everyone needs a long week of vacation after a year such as this. It will be a nice big break.

I'm all for that!
