I’m about to bust a vessel, I just know it!

With the party less than a week away, I still have a veritable shit ton of projects to finish. Crescent Moon has become a vortex into which many of my hours have fallen in the last week or so and it’s putting me behind with other things. I am very excited and freaked out about the new store and I’m also very happy to be a part of it, but I have so much on my plate that I think I’m gonna freak out before it’s all said and done.

There is a horrible list of stuff to do for the damned wedding (see below). I just KNEW I’d be the one who must get it all together and SURPRISE!!, I am. Nick gave up on attempting to plan anything and so now I must do every little thing. What’s done? Um, I think the answer is nada. I mean, I’ve at least got the reception covered, since it’s the housewarming party, but dammit, nothing is done for the nuptials themselves. Lessee, here’s my current list of things that need to happen:
1. choose a dress and all the accessories
2. what about a cake??
3. what about rings??
4. um, I’ll need flowers, too, I think…
5. I think we’ll need something to say. Yah, I’m pretty sure VOWS need to be written, otherwise we’ll just stand there…
6. what about lighting?
7. What about music?
8. buy the food stuff (HUGE thanks to Rebecca and Beth for their help here)
9. buy the champagne
10. do my nails (hands and feet)
11. get the blood test (heh heh, NOT anymore!! Yay!)
12. get the license
13. find out if Caroline is legal in GA (if NOT, then I have to call Claire and get her friend to do the ceremony)
14. have a nervous breakdown (I’m pretty sure this is in progress…Does crying randomly and wanting to kill everyone with my bare hands count???)

Uh, yah, I think that about covers it. ::insert SOB here::

Heh, we’ve decided to go ahead and tie the knot on Thursday, April 1st, which is April Fools’ Day for those of you who observe the important holidays.

Since it *is* short notice, we’ve decided to do it here at our home with Caroline officiating and Jody as our Elvis – complete with karaoke Elvis music! We were gonna wait until next April, but with the house and the other snags we’ve run into by NOT being legally married, we decided to do it now and get it over with. Heh, I know that’s not very romantic, but hey, I’m nothing if not practical! :-) Next year, we will be in Vegas, getting married properly at an Elvis chapel! LOL

So, with April 1st the week after our housewarming, we’ll just have the reception first, THEN the wedding on Thursday! It’s so US to do things backasswards!!

If you’d like to attend the wedding, please shoot me an email. It’s during the week, so I don’t really expect everyone to drop everything and run to Decatur, but you can attend if you wish. We’ll probably have the ceremony around 6 or 6:30pm to accomodate those who want to come after work.

I’ll need RSVPs, please, so we can plan nibblies. There’ll be WAY too much champagne no matter how many show up!

2004 is quite a year so far!

Here are the first 10 songs that iTunes played when we put the whole catalog on Shuffle:
1. Blue Oyster Cult – Burning for You
2. Simply Red – Stars
3. Dead Can Dance – Yolunga (live)
4. No Doubt – Don’t Speak
5. Steely Dan – Babylon Sisters
6. Papa Vegas – On Your Own
7. Dire Straits – Skate Away
8. Creed – My Sacrifice
9. Peaches and Herb – Shake Your Groove Thing
10. Peter Gabriel – Mercy Street

Does that kick ass or what??

In other news, my LJ account will probably die due their incredible ineptitude at fixing problems. All they can say is “your isp is blocking our emails”. Right, that’s why I get LJ email every goddam day. Fuckwits.

So, I hope all those LJ ppl will get off their lazy asses and come over here for the blog. I’m done fucking with LJ.
