Hello?? Is anybody there?

Are you on another trip?? Lucky you, if you are! I haven't talked to you forever (okay, like 2 weeks), Miss Bridesmaid! :) How's everything going in Carmenland? Things are getting kind of hectic in Mistyville. I had to housesit all this past week for mom & dad. I got NOTHING done! So tomorrow, Doug promises that he will help me with the invitations. I think I'm going to let him punch the holes and I'm going to tie the ribbons. I also need to get the address labels. I told everyone that I was planning on running the envelopes through the printer, but I procrastinated too much and now I think I'm just going to have to break down and buy the labels. That way I can pretty much print them all at once. I'm not even sure I have all the addresses and I'm supposed to have the invitations ready to mail by Wednesday (my birthday!). Although, it won't officially be 6 weeks until next Saturday. So I've still got a little wiggle room, right?

Next weekend is officially the last Saturday that I have with nothing planned until the wedding. I'm working today, one Saturday in August and one in September. Then I have my shower, our girls weekend (can't wait!!!) and my bachelorette party and then the wedding. Hard to believe it's going to be here so fast, isn't it? I'd like for it to be over so I can come up with better things to talk about then the wedding! Unfortunately that is all that is on my mind at the moment.

I think my dress is almost finished. Sandy put the zipper in the other day and I'm a little afraid to try it on now. I'm so afraid it's not going to fit and I've been eating really badly the last few days. Lots of going out to eat and last night I had ice cream with my dad at 9:00. Not good! Anyhow, I was supposed to go try the dress on Thursday, according to the message on my answering machine, unfortunately I didn't get that message until last night around 10:00. Now, I know she knew I was housesitting, and I know she has my cell phone number, why she chose to call the house, I don't know! And for once she didn't call Doug to tell him that she was ready for another fitting. Ack! She frustrates me! Since I haven't returned her call she's probably all kinds of irritated with me too. I'll probably end up calling her later this afternoon. I need to get a slip soon, because I don't want her to put the hem in before I have it, even though she doesn't think I'll need it. The other day when we were fitting though you could see the line of the shapewear (that's supposedly seamless) through the dress, so I think I'll need some kind of slip. Although now that my shoes are a little shorter I may not have to worry about a slip pulling it up too much.

So anyway, I should maybe you know, do some actual work today. Give me a call when you get a chance!
