It’s About Time…

…for a new update.  Good grief I am such a SLACKER!  I log on EVERYDAY to OD.  But do I EVER write anything?  NO!  Why not you say?  I DON’T KNOW I SAY!  LOL  I guess I could blame it on the fact that I didn’t want to put too much more into this diary if it was going to end up getting deleted because of all the drama here.  But that isn’t a very good excuse considering the fact that we are all still here and probably won’t be going anywhere.  Guess it just comes down to the fact that I truely am a slacker.

But at least I still HAVE my diary.  And I haven’t let it completely go away.  That’s a plus.  Okay… I’m done trying to justify myself.  I have a wonderful diary… a wonderful place to write… and I don’t do it.  Oh well.

So what is new, what is new?  A whole lot I guess.  We are now less than 5 months away from the wedding.  OMG!!!  (Is it normal to almost throw up when I think about that?)  I’m excited.  STRESSED!!!!  Nervous.  But it will all come together.  Next week I will be placing the final order for the bridesmaids.  Will be cutting that kinda close considering that it takes about 3 to 3 1/2 months for the dresses to come in.  That means that they won’t be in until JUNE!  AHHH!!!  I wish I would have KNOWN that little bit of information.  I would have had the order placed at the beginning of THIS month instead of MARCH.  (What is my deal with all the CAPS today? LOL)

We did have some changes in the bridesmaid l"line up".  I have been trying to get final measurements for all the girls so that i can figure out their sizes and how much their final cost would be.  Getting measurments from a couple of them is like pulling teeth!!!  Good grief!!!  So I had been trying and trying and TRYING to get measurements for Jacob’s sister.  How hard can it be for me to get them from his own MOTHER right?  Well let’s just say it took Jacob telling his mom last week that if we didn’t have her measurements by the weekend that Hannah would NOT be in the wedding.  That seemed to work because I had them by Sunday.

THEN my friend Andrea.  Well I tried and tried and TRIED to get ahold of her to get her final measurements, but she would NEVER answer her phone nor would she ever call me back.  Finally, on Saturday morning (while I’m already in a bitchy mood) I call Andrea AGAIN with no answer AGAIN.  Her voicemail picks up, and I go OFF.  I tell her in so many words, "I’m assuming that you are not interested in being in the wedding because you don’t seem to want to talk to me.  Don’t know what I did to piss you off, but would appreciate knowing what it is that I did.  Blah blah blah."  CLICK

So in Andrea’s place, I have now placed Becca.  Yes Becca.  My ex-roommate from back in the day.  The one who I could have swore ganked me for $500 and then kicked me out of the house.  Well I found it in my heart to forgive and forget quite awhile ago, and we have continued to be friends for awhile now.  So I called her up and let her know the deal.  She was more than happy to help me out and be in the wedding in Andrea’s spot.  So now I’m back up to 5 bridesmaids.

Well… now GET THIS!!  On Sunday… just for shits and giggles… I decided to call Andrea (on private of course) just to see if she would answer.  And low and behold… she picks up her damn phone!!!  So I say, "Hey.  It’s Jamie."  And she starts kinda laughing.  I asked her what the deal was.  And come to find out she had actually been out of town all week up in Norfolk visiting her family.  Her cell phone doesn’t work in Norfolk, so she wasn’t getting my calls or messages.  Now I’m trying to figure out what the hell to do since I had REPLACED her in the wedding. 

Then she mentions something about having to get surgery.  I asked her what for.  Turns out that she has a 9mm tumor on her brain that is causing her to have problems with her hands and arms.  It is a slow growing tumor, and had she been a 70 year old woman, they would have just left it alone.  But since she is only 34, they are going to have to remove it, or it will end up causing her all sorts of problems beside just problems with her hands and arms.  So then she tells me that she will get her measurements for me, BUT also mentions that if she is going to have to do this surgery, they will have to shave her head.  She said that if they shave her head, she will not really want to be up front in the wedding.

So now instead of being in the wedding, she is going to be my personal attendant and make sure that I am taken care of on the wedding day.  She’s going to help with hair too.  All in all it worked out for everybody involved.  Now that I have everybody’s measurements, now comes the battle of getting the money in by March 1st.  I don’t think it will be too hard though.  I think we will be okay.  I do need to make the final payment on my dress as well yet.  Don’t know if my friend is still planning on helping with that or not.  She says yes, but really… I’m tired of even mentioning it to her.  Granted she offered awhile ago to do this, but if she REALLY was wanting to do so, I feel I shouldn’t have to ask her when she is going to be sending the money my way.

Hmmm… what else, what else?  Can’t really think right now.  I’m sure there is plenty more to write about, but honestly… I’m at work right now.  I really should be getting back to the grindstone.  Oh yeah… I’ve been working out regularly lately.  I need to up the work outs though to truely get what I need out of them.  I have 3 months to make sure that I’m able to fit into this dress that has been ordered for me.  WISH ME LUCK!

Gotta run!!  I’ll TRY to write again soon.
