She's Getting Married in One Week!

With the wedding less than a week away, it's all downhill from here. I just hope I don't find myself at the bottom in a jumbled heap, but rather coasting to a gentle stop.

The bride and groom are hanging onto sanity by a thread. Things that have been said/done/experienced by him/her/them in the last 24 hours:

  • Packing.
  • Moving to a new apartment.
  • Finding out other roommate is moving out too, so instead of having to just vacuum your old room you have to help clean the whole dang house.
  • Getting overwhelmingly surprised by the kids and teachers at school with a totally unexpected-up on the stage in a throne-all eyes on you-this is great but I really am uncomfortable being the center of attention-wedding shower.
  • Going to Dad's annual St. Patrick's Day dinner.
  • Getting eyebrows waxed.
  • Finding time to tan so you don't look like a ghost in your wedding gown.
  • Geez, look at the time--I gotta get to work!
  • Did you pick up the rings?
  • Oh no! Uncle Biff didn't get a wedding invitation!
  • We need to make 3 copies of these keys.
  • Hi, mom, did you RSVP for you and grandma or you and a guest? Oh. Is that Steven with a 'ph' or with a ' v ' ?
  • Is Dan going to get here in time to get his tux?
  • We can't sit my mother at the same table as my step-mother.
  • I just gotta throw these clothes in the dryer.
  • Didn't he send those pictures for the slideshow? Wait--I'll call him.
  • I've got to be at the fund-raiser carwash until 2:30, then I'll load up my truck and take a load over the the apartment.
  • Mom, he hasn't eaten all day, please make him a peanut butter sandwich
  • Do we have a final count?

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
