Which means that Hawai'i is near. Which is a very, very good thing.
My wedding is fifteen days and a wake-up (as my dad would say) away. I have no idea how it went from months and months away to OhMyGodItIsF'ingTOMORROW, but it did, and I was a little taken aback. I made a big list, Mr finally saw the urgency of the matter and pitched in, and we're well on our way. I've picked the readings for the ceremony, my mom found musicians for the ceremony, we met with our band leader, I booked pre- and wedding-night hotel rooms, confirmed the flowers, and made an appointment with the priest. I'm getting a test-drive of my hair-do on Saturday just before Mr & I go pick out his ring. Shit is MOVING.
On one hand, I'm kind of stressed because, um, it is so very soon. On the other hand, I do not have to power to create time, so I also have a moderately-zen "there's only so much time in the day and so much I can do in a day" sort of approach. I would like to have my immediate family over for dinner Thursday night, since most of them have not seen my house, and I would like to host a brunch Sunday for the rest of my family, but all of that requires planning, which requires time, which I do not have.
I've also developed a zen attitude towards my weight. I've gained some of the weight that I had lost back. Not a ton, the dress still fits, but I don't know if I'll wear the bikini I bought for the honeymoon. I mean, I am NOT a bikini girl, but I wanted to be for the honeymoon. But, and here's where the zen comes in, I can't lose five (or ten, or fifteen, if we're counting was I was hoping to lose) pounds in fifteen days. Not going to happen. It will be fine. My dress ROCKS and is loverly. As for Hawai'i? Mr seems to dig me, and I probably won't see any of those people again, so either I'll be brave and wear the bikini, or I won't and I'll wear the one-piece. Or I'll compromise and wear the bikini but won't ever take my cover-up off. Regardless, there will be alcohol in pineapples and I will be happy.
Oh yeah, and I just found out I passed the Masters' Exam. I am officially a smarty-pants!

Many congratulations on passing the exam and your zen-like attitude towards your rapidly approaching wedding/honeymoon.
Do we get to see a picture of your rockin' dress?
Congratulations on passing the Master's exam! Of course you're a smarty-pants...I've always said that about you. That, and you have nice hair. Just make sure to bring a lot of sunblock to Hawaii. You're going to need it. Trust me on this one.
You people make me happy. I love finding comments.
I will post pictures of the dress. What I have now is the day I bought it, and it doesn't look so good, and pics from my last fitting. The fitting was good, but it is still in a sort of rough state (as was I). I haven't decided if I'll post fitting pics or wedding pics. Possibly both.
I will also definitely post a picture of my shoes because they are HOT.
