  • 43 Days

    Wow!  I'm getting married in 43 days!  It's crazy how fast this goes.  43 days seems like a lot to me right now actually, but I know it's really not.

    I have to gather pricing info for the remaining purchases:
    My underclothes
    My wrap (it's white faux fur with a satin lining being handmade for me by my "seamstress")
    My shoes
    Plates, cups for the reception
    Veggie/Meat/Cheese/Cracker trays for cocktail hour
    Buttermints, Peanuts & M&M's for the reception
    Silver Trays (plastic of course) for the pizzas to be placed on
    Printed programs to be assembled with the background paper we had custom cut this week
    DJ
    Photographer
    LF Floral for the altar flowers
    Favor wrappers - and purchase the mini hershey bars
    photo paper for the guest book
    ink for the photo printers for the guest book

    Ack, there's probably more but you get the idea - it's pretty much little stuff left (other than fulfilling the priced contracts with DJ & photos).

    So crazy.

    And I still have a sore throat a week later.  My theory is that my allergies are kicking my butt.  We bought a humidifier for the bedroom - I'm actually thinking we might need to buy one for the main portion of the apt as well. 

    My doctor had said I could double up on my allergy pills when they get bad - but that freaks me out, can I really?

    I slept sitting up on the couch last night with my machine on for most of the evening.  I did wake up more than I wanted to but I didn't feel any anxiety like I did the night before in my bed.  Which I didn't write about so that reference doesn't mean too much.  Wednesday night I tried sleeping with my mask on.  Laid down at 10 and every 5 minutes for the next half hour I was feeling anxious and having to calm myself down.  My breathing was bothering me.

    I realized last night it's because I'm so stuffy!  John & I were just laying on the bed earlier in the evening and I started to feel a little panicky - and it's cuz I couldn't breath well.  I might have to sleep sitting up for a little while until this crud clears out.

    Tomorrow is my bridal shower!  Directly following is the Bachelorette Party.  John's Bachelore party is tomorrow night as well.  I'm excited!

    Did I tell you guys that someone bought my mixer?  I've been trying really hard to not keep looking to see what's been purchased but I haven't really had a lot of luck.  lol  I'm still trying though!  Anyway, the first time I looked, I saw that someone had bought my mixer and I'm SO excited!  I have wanted this for my whole life! 

    We also received our first gift via UPS - one of the oval Rachel Ray pans that I registered for.  Nice!  But it didn't say who it was from.... so hopefully John's mom will know - I'm assuming it will be from one of his relatives.

    I should probably go get ready and get my butt into work.

    Oh wait, speaking of butts.  Apparently mine is far too heavy.  Argh!  Our toilet seat cracked a month or so ago, and recently the crack went all the way through so it could pinch you- not comfy, obviously. So we put in a work order on Tuesday night.  On Wednesday they replaced it.  On Wednesday night, just sitting there, I hear *pop*  WHAT?!?!  So I get up and sure enough, cracked one side of the seat, all the way through. I was so irritated.  But it gets better!  Later that evening, the other side did it too so now when you sit down you have to hold on to it or the front half of the seat falls off!  I called yesterday morning to explain the situation and that while I recognize I am not a light person, I am 28 years old and I've never had this happen to my whole life.  I don't know if we got the bad one of the bunch or if a better quality needs to be purchased - but it needs to get done.  Even explained that the seat is all the way broken off ... guess what still wasn't replaced when I got home.  I will call again today around lunch time if John tells me it still hasn't been done.

    Now I will go finish getting ready - after my toilet pinches my ass.

  • Have fun it goes by really fast

  • Hey girl! Wow, its around the corner FINALLY! :) CONGRATS AGAIN!!!  I have a question for you, have you guys thought about buying an air cleaner?  I have really bad dust allergies, so in Iraq dust is UNAVOIDABLE.  I finally went out and bought one and let me tell you, you will be amazed at what you're breathing in with what that thing catches. The only bad part is that filter costs a pretty dime for some units.  But its well worth it.  Have you also checked out the air filters for the ac and heater?  If they're the rinseable kind, run them under HOT HOT HOT tap water at full throttle with bleach or some disenfectant type like lysol and let air dry before you place it back.  I have to take Allegra D w/ Flonase and its helped me a lot. I'm probably going to resort to Claritin D soon since now I'm not working right now.  Also think about your toothbrushes, you should always replace your toothbrush after getting over an illness. They keep the bacteria/viruses active and you continue to re-infect yourself if you keep it. I'm sure you don't though.  After brushing your teeth, you should gargle with  hot salt water until your symptoms go away or make it a habit.  Another thing is with sinuses if you have probs, flush your sinuses with saline. I read somewhere that if sinuses are clogged even a little bit, it can affect your sleep and make you more tired.  Use a saline spray to irrigate the nasal passages, now that I think about it the medics gave it to us over there. Its suppose to add moisture, smooth the inflammation to make breathing easier.    And something everyone should do daily if they're not allergic to honey, take a teaspoon (I use a full tablespoon) to pick up my energy. I just started it and I can feel a difference.  Good luck sister, maybe this is stuff you already know, but you gotta try everything you can to have a great wedding day! :)    Being in Iraq, you never wanted to go to the medic and lose a day's pay. So myself I tried to learn as many homeopathic tricks that didn't hurt me... So I hope this works if you try! :)

  • Tia, sorry I didn't call... things are very messed up here, too much going on... will you be around later? I just want to find out a couple things from you!

  • @beadbrat - Yeah, we have a party to go to sometime this evening - but I doubt we'll be out late, and I'm sure it doesn't start until later as well.  Either way, I'll have my phone with me.  :)

    Saw that you're not enjoying the snow - we already had that here before it got to you, hope you enjoyed the leftovers HAHA 

  • Tia, I am heading to bed... sick, migraine, bug I dunno... just really miserable...don't want to bother you at the party... I will get in touch in the next day or two...

  • @beadbrat - 

    Okay! I hope you feel better! It sure seems around here that when someone gets some kind of crud, they have it forever!
