A Month Later

How pathetic… one entry per month for me seems to be the norm lately.  12 entries per year at this rate.  Why am I even keeping this thing??  LOL  Mainly because I still log in DAILY and read my faves.  I would think that if I could do that much, I could at least write more than once a month.  I have lost my motivation.  THAT SUCKS!!!

Maybe if I start a new diary???  But that would mean than all my entries here would just stay here… I don’t take the time to write here, but I sure the heck don’t want to leave all my old entries behind.  Yeah, I could transfer them over… but I don’t want to have to do all that.  I barely have enough time in the day to get my daily work done.  Most of the time that doesn’t even happen these days.

I’m so far behind in my work, that I’m actually going to be working from home to make up for it.  How shitty… and I won’t be getting paid for it either.  I did get a good 10 hours of overtime in this weekend though, working on another project for work.  That will help out come the end of the month check.  Especially since I am going home for 9 whole days!  WOO HOO!!!

My mom and dad each pitched in to pay for my plane ticket home.  I’m leaving the day after Thanksgiving and will be there until December 4th.  Poor Jacob… I dont’ know what he will do for 9 days while I am gone.  He is not liking the fact that I’m leaving at all.  He asks me all the time… "Why are you going home again?"

So the main reason that I’m going home is to plan this wedding that is creaping up on us fast and furiously.  It is now exactly 8 months away.  8 MONTHS!!!  OMG!!!  Time is flying by like no other!!!  Basically the whole wedding is going to be planned when I am home.  LOL  YEAH RIGHT!!!  I can wish right?

A lot of things are being taken care of though.  I have the church.  I have the reception hall.  I have the transportation from the church to the reception hall (note to self: double check transportation from church to reception hall).  I will have the DJ taken care of and paid for by my dad (second note to self: let dad know to go ahead and get DJ).  I’ve picked out my cake and need to find somebody who can make it.  I have picked out my invitations, and need to get final confirmation on the guest list.  I guest list that I have now been waiting for since September (note to self: thump my mother in the head when I see her for not getting the guest list earlier!).

I have a 6 page checklist that has been printed out from The Knot.  I have a few things checked off already.  Maybe a page or so complete… only 5 pages to go.  LOL  I have my dress picked out for sure.  I was going to order it this past month, but decided to wait now until the end of January.  Why you ask?  Because I am now on a diet.  The I’m-not-even-playing-around-diet.  So far in the past week I have lost water weight, but weight is weight, and it has to go sometime.  So I’ve lost about 4 pounds or so.  I’m hoping to lose about 20-30 pounds before I order my dress.  Once I order my dress I don’t want to lose too much more weight because of the fact that I don’t want to have to get it altered too much to where it doesn’t look right.  So that is the reason I’m waiting to order the dress for now.

I will still need to figure out what I want to do for flowers, decorations, and favors.  The favors and decorations/centerpieces will be decided on when I am home hopefully, and then I will leave it up to my maid of honor and family to finish them.  LOL

So before I lose this whole entry, I’m going to end it for now.  I’m at work right now and keep going back to my work, and just know that I’m going to forget about this entry and close the window or something… then bye bye entry.  I really REALLY want to start writing more regularly again.  Like I used to when I first started this thing.  I was sitting here yesterday reading all my old entries.  Crazy to see how much things have changed over the past 2 years.  A lot of my first entries are private now.  But I still have them.  Don’t see the point in deleting them since it was part of my life.  It’s good to see how far I’ve come, and really grown up in the past two years.  Crazy to see how childish I really was even when I was already 23.  Makes me realize that even though I was as old as I was… I was still very much a child.

Anywho… time to go… I shall return…  Hopefully.  LOL
