Feeling Hot Hot Hot

Today is the kind of hot, overcast and sweaty day that makes you really snoozy which means that Baby N's afternoon nap is very much appreciated today!

Sweaty - you know when you ask yourself "Did I skip my morning shower today?" even though you know full well that you didn't? Yup, that's how sweaty this day is. Went upstairs to change Baby N's nappy and sweat went "flowing" down my back. Not so nice.

While on the subject of "hotness" - I may not have lost enough weight to make me a skinny bride but my legs are looking good. very good, in fact - if I may say so myself. Now I've got to find something to wear that'll show 'em off!

Also heard a "I saw you yesterday at so and so" which means that person saw me being well p-ed off with Boyfriend for making us late... oh well - yesterday was also a hot-sweaty kind of day when tempers run high.

Oh hell, who am I kidding? My temper is always running high!

The Wedding Squabble

I told you in the last post that we'd had a bit of an argument re. the wedding. And it may not seem like a big deal to anyone else but it was to me!

Anyhow, the Save the Date Cards have been sorted for ages and I asked Boyfriend to get addresses for "his" guests/relatives etc etc. And nothing happened. I asked again. Nothing happened. I got some addresses on my own and asked him for the others. Nothing happened. And I got fed up. Not only is it terribly rude to not send out to some guests - as they know others have received the cards - but it's WRONG, bad manners, crap upbringing, embarrassing etc etc.

And the actual invites... I found samples of some that I liked. Boyfriend didn't like the "font", the "wording", the x, the y or the z. He was to do it on the Mac. I'm all for keeping costs down and to make the invites ourselves but nothing I showed was good enough*. But did he come up with alternatives? Did he even try to make a template on his Mac? Did he suggest we were to go and look at different types of paper? Nooooooooooooooo!

So I threw a little tantrum and said shouted that I wasn't the only one getting married and yes, I know he's busy but if the non-commitment he was showing was a way of saying he didn't want to get married then just F-ing say so! I also said that if we cancelled now we'd only lose couple of hundred pounds. But if he was still "on" the he'd need to step up and at least help with the stuff he'd promised. Simple, Easy.

I don't think he knew what to say so started to argue back, saying how he had the missing addresses (actually) and they were in his iPhone so I could have looked there myself, yada yada yada. As if I would! and how did I know he had the addresses? Anyhow, petty things like that but we both knew who was right and it sure as hell wasn't him.

But he got his thumbs [both hands, really] out and later that evening we had, together, produced a very nice invitation on his Mac. He has since also taken me to the special stationary shop to choose paper and envelopes. And (!) and (!!) and (!!!) he decided he wanted a specific "hole-punch" that will round the edges of the invites as they'll look "even more classy". All on his own.

Sometimes they just need a shock, a kick up the old behind, or just a screaming wife-to-be. And I can do all those things. I'm quite good at it. Yup.



*You might say I should have made some by myself but trust me, it would have been Times New Roman, font size 12 on an A4. I could try but that's what they would have ended up like.

That Victoria...

You know, Victoria - the Crown Princess of Sweden... Let me tell you about this girl/woman.

Last winter I found a wedding dress that I really liked, particularly the neckline. It was stunning and I had basically decided that "this is The One!"

And then The Crown Princess has that exact neckline on her wedding dress this past summer. I mean: Aaaaaarghhhhh! Don't get me wrong, she looked absolutely fantastic and it was definitely the right dress for her and it's not like I mind if someone else has that neckline. BUT! Her wearing it means that loads and looooooads of wedding dresses will have that same neckline next summer and that means that I'm out. I don't want my dress to be one of many.

And today, I've just seen a picture of her dress that she's wearing today at the Nobel Prize Ceremony... well. Go Figure! Now, that was another type/model that I've been looking at (obviously only if I were to lose weight first)! So loooads of people will wear a dress that will look like hers.

Back to square one. But I'm also looking at it in a positive way. Surely it must mean that my taste is exquisite and very expensive. Yup, that's how I see it.

Getting Back On Track

I am still very much feeling the effects of the Shingles. Exhaustion is ever present but perhaps a little bit less than a few days ago. To survive - I know it sounds dramatic but tiredness can bring you to the edge of insanity - I could only do the bare minimum. "Bare Minimum" in my case is looking after Baby N - not the smallest of tasks - and that was that.

Now, I'm slowly starting to see other things that need doing and one such thing is The Wedding. The Wedding is not that far away, and days, weeks and months pass by very quickly so must get back on track.

Church, priest, reception venue, photographer, band, cook and sort of the colour scheme/theme has been sorted. But there are so much more stuff to do and I'd like to get it done before it gets urgent and "OhMyGodItMightNotGetHere/ThereInTime!!".

So be warned Bridezilla is Back!

....Oh! Boyfriend is also involved somewhere, I'm fairly certain it.
