But First



The wedding is in five days.
Once again I ask- are we ready?
Once again I say- no, we are not.
And I should be doing something to further the mission RIGHT THIS SECOND and it might involve Jordon almonds and tiny tulle bags or pink and white impatiens and tiny clay pots or coordinating something with someone but....
first I need to take my ailing daughter some books to read because she's sick and HAS NO BOOKS and we're junkies and we must have books but....
first I need to tidy up the guest room because my dear friend/wedding cake baker/sanity maker is coming to town tomorrow THANK GOD but...
first I must wash the sheets and quilt on that bed but...
first I must get the beans for tonight's chili boiling and punch down the rising bread but...
first I must clean up that dried dog puke in the living room but...
first I must round up the medications to take to my daughter, Sudafed and Benadryl but...
first I must take a walk because I am not getting any skinnier and I need the sanity that comes with my walk but...
first I need to push the publish post button on this and
CAN YOU TELL I'VE HAD TOO MUCH COFFEE???
And speaking of but(t)s...half of mine is still black.
Thank God humans wear clothing is all I can say about that.
Thanks for listening.

  1. Juancho stopped by for a minute last night and we discussed the current panic mode. I'm headed out to dad's tonight to get that amp and stuff. What else can I do to help?

  2. Can't think of anything at the moment, but I'll let you know. Please tell your dad thanks SO much and we're looking forward to seeing them. And thank you for doing this.

  3. We got married in slacks in a ministers office in the span of like 5 minutes. Didn't even take pics. Wasn't romantic, but you have to admit it does sound nice right about now :)

  4. I did that once, too. But in Georgia. My second wedding was much bigger- we had four days to plan and it was beautiful. Tiny wedding outside, tiny party at the house after.
    Done and done.

  5. Thanks to adrenalin, you'll make it. A wedding 5 days away is like seeing that tall grass moving up ahead and your feet knowing you've gotta run for your life 'cause it's a tiger in there for sure! ;)

  6. You know- I think I just crossed some sort of line from relatively sane to completely insane.
    I hope it's temporary.
