Four months of nightmares?
So. Yesterday we found a place to get married - YAY! There's so much included in the package that I now have very little to stress about - double YAY! So how is my subconscious dealing with this new lack of stress? By giving me wedding nightmares. Last night I had two of them. Each had its own special crisis. In the first, Kenji forgot about the wedding and went to work and I had to call to remind him. In the second, I forgot to get a veil. It was strange. Ugh. Am I in for another 4 months of this?

And so it begins...
There's no turning back now. I have become a Bride. I can no longer function within my job without becoming easily distracted by this beast called Wedding Planning.
Distraction #1:
For once, I was legitimately looking at Craigslist for a work-related issue (rather than my usual "check out the job market or find an apartment" search) when I noticed there was a wedding-planning discussion forum. Needless to say, I had to check it out. It was, um, interesting - but not so different from every other wedding-planning forum I've seen. Returning to the work-related issue, I was once again on Craigslist's local homepage. Under services, there's an event planning section. I clicked on the link to see what wedding related ads I could find.
I've abandoned my work-related problem. I'm just not going to find the answer today.
Distraction #2:
Scattered around my computer screen are many, many post-its (because we all know post-its are God's gift to the unorganized). There's the one with my To-Do list, two with information to do some follow-up this afternoon, one with contact numbers, my voicemail information, etc. And then there's the one with a list of reception centers (researched on my office computer with highspeed internet) and phone numbers.
Distraction #3:
One of the morning DJs on the radio station I listen to is also planning her wedding. I was late for work this morning because I was sitting in my car listening to her talk about it.
Distraction #4:
Typing this list when I have a fairly long To-Do list. It's there at the bottom of my computer screen...right next to the list of reception centers...
