Unconsciously Competent

So… I'm in a wedding planning frenzy right now, and let's face it - I love it (I've only been thinking about this day for the last 26 years).  I've finally asked all of my bridesmaids if they'll be in our wedding, so I can now get started with planning their things (yay!).  Luckily, they all said they'd love to be in it… for some reason, I was worried they'd say no!  I mean, you have to wonder if people really want to be in weddings and you can't just assume… I know I've loved being in the weddings that I have, but not everyone necessarily feels the same way you do about weddings.  Anyway - I now get to proceed with playing dress up with them, so I'm happy. :)

In other news, we've decided on an October wedding and everything is pretty much set with the date and venue, so that is a HUGE relief!  Since we decided on the date this weekend, Craig's wheels started to turn a little bit… like with ideas and stuff.  We were riding in the car after we had agreed on the date and venue and let me just fill you in on a little snippet of the conversation that went terribly wrong:

Craig:  So the wedding is in October…
H:  Uh, yeah.
Craig:  Well Halloween is in October.
H:  G'job.    *this is dripping with sarcasm in case you didn't catch it*
Craig:  I know what we can do!  Let's have a Halloween themed wedding!  Everyone can dress up and..
H:  Just stop.  No.
Craig:  But it would be fun with the cos…
H:  ……….. You're serious……… And you're now off the wedding committee.

Don't get me wrong… I will still ask him what he thinks about different decisions, but any answer he gives me will automatically trigger the memory of his plan of a halloween costume party as we exchange wedding vows.  Unless everyone came to the wedding dressed as Disney princes and princesses… well even then… all I can do is shake my head.

My Definition of Trauma

I’ve been wrestling with thoughts of mom recently. I can only assume it’s due to Mother’s Day weekend looming. Or who knows, maybe I’m just ...
