Say It's NOT So!!

Today, I was at the place that I love/hate the most.... Walmart.  I was grabbing a few much needed items (which is why I was at Walmart on a Sunday with the local crazies) and then I saw it, what I was not ready to see... the back to school aisle!

Scissors, Markers, and Folders, Oh my!! *sobbing

This summer has went by extremely fast. I have spent the whole summer planning a wedding and working on the house that I have not taken any time for fun in the sun. I am as pale as a ghost. I feel like I have not taken the chance to truly be a bum.

This week, I am making it my number one priority to lay at the pool, be a bum and get some tan lines. The school year is almost here. Thank you WalMart for reminding me of that today! *Grrrrrr!!

Cabinet Upgrade.

Gracias, Danka, Thank you... pinterest for helping find this wonderful blog MonicaWantsItAll.  This wonderful blog post helped me transform my ugly honey oak cabinet in my bathroom to a beautiful rich espresso modern cabinet.  I am in love. 

Meet Charlie

There's a new addition to our house and his name is Charlie. He is an 8 week old brown tabby.  And he is a pistol. I forgot how much work little kittens are-- he is into everything!! Curiosity might just kill this cat but in the meantime I'll enjoy his cuteness.  

Are those your nails?

My entire life I have been a nail biter. I have tried every intervention in the world to stop biting yet nothing has worked. Always. A. Fail.

Until, a couple of months ago. I found my intervention. All this girl needed was a ring on her finger!!

I couldn't stand to look at my pretty shiny diamond engagement ring & see nubs for nails!! So, cold turkey I quit.  I've even taken up a 'hobby' of nail art. Check out theses ALL natural, ALL mine beauties!!

Obsessive

Life has definitely been a whirlwind of wonderful lately but it is all going by too fast. It seems like yesterday I was blogging--telling the world I was getting married. And today, that yesterday was a reality of 4 months ago.

Honestly, I haven't blogged because I'm getting married and it is consuming me. All of me. 

The wedding planning has started. One big, giant, exciting headache. Thanks to TheKnot.com, I have thrown away the scratch paper and the little yellow post-its, I have stopped writing with sharpies on my hands and making memos in my iPhone, all because I have a check-list of things to do for the wedding all in one place... and I am obsessed with it. 

How can I get all of the items off of the list?  How many can I get done today? Can I just cross them off if I have intentions of doing them later?  What's the count at now? 

Everything in me kicks into overdrive every time I log on to TheKnot.com's website.  I am my own Bridezilla in the making.... the ceremony, reception, catering, dresses, tuxes, flowers, dj, invitations, and decor have all been finalized. I am winning! I am kicking this wedding check-lists' ass!

Today though, when I logged on, and saw the count of tasks left for my big day--I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and it worried me. 

What will I do with myself when it's all over? When I have no calls to make? Or consultations to schedule? What can I do to excite me and motivate me to this level again? What will I do when there is no more check-list?

This wedding planning takes OCD to a whole other level.
