Oops! Schedule Fail: Well Hello Monday

I've known for weeks that tonight I have an appointment with the lace expert to discuss my dress. Yet what did I do this morning? I left the house without my wedding dress. I remembered that I needed to drive to work today (yes the reason did actually escape me as I groggily left the house). So yes, I forgot the dress.

Now I've talked about this appointment with cubes. This weekend even. We discussed how a follow up visit might impact my Syzygryd Kitchen Prep schedule.

AND... I still FORGET the dress.

Best part about all this? The carefully scheduled post-work meeting. The getting in to work early. All for naught. I still have to use the PTO that I don't have so that I can drive BACK to the house. And then FIGHT traffic across the Bay Bridge to get to Alameda.

Seriously universe, can't you make Monday a little easier to deal with? Anyone else hate Mondays?

Scheduling Fail

To all brides and future brides out there, enjoy your lull in planning. AND DON'T whatever you do sign up to lead/run ANYTHING MORE just because you think you have it all under control. (I think it was in this lull that I thought I could lead a Burning Man camp as well as plan a wedding and hold down a full-time job.)

Yep I'm officially freaking out - if you couldn't tell. It's not the number of days left until the wedding that has me freaked out. No it's the number of remaining weekends until the wedding. There are 20. But it's not that number that really has me hyperventilating. It's the number of weekends that aren't already claimed by something non-wedding related. Burning Man takes 2 weekends - that leaves 18. Helping load up the camp/our stuff takes 1 weekend - we're down to 17. One weekend is reserved for the Bachelorette Weekend - 16. Don't forget holiday weekends and just enjoying life - 14. Syzygryd fundraising events (1 Saturday and 1 Sunday) take out another weekend (spread across two) which leaves us 13.

Wedding counters give you this false sense of complacency. Heck I have 152 days, I've got plenty of time. When viewed in weeks and available work days then um yes "Houston We have a problem."
