Overwhelmed?

Maybe a little.

For the past three weeks or so I have avoided working on the wedding in true Jesse style. In the past I’ve applied this form of extreme procrastination to things such as brushing my hair (when I was little), cleaning my room (when I was slightly less little), doing my math homework (in highschool) and writing papers in college.

I know its wrong. There’s so much to do! But tonight, instead of working on labels and address collecting as I said I would, I read awhile, then I took each of the dogs on a nice long walk separately (after the Hellhounds drug me across a yard on my butt trying to get to a innocent man out walking his own dog, I concluded that its not wise to walk two dogs who when they are combined have a greater body mass than myself). Then I came home and did the dishes. That’s how I know this is serious, when it gets to the point where I’d rather do dishes than whatever it is I’m supposed to be doing, its a problem.

I think the whole thing is just a little overwhelming. For a girl who has never actually thrown a party by herself, much less put on an event for all the most important people in her world; a wedding is a big deal. Thank the Heavens for Carl’s mom who is helping with things I know absolutely nothing about like where to get manicures and how long they take and what questions to ask a florist. She’s been wonderful. : )

It might also be a little ironic that instead of working on the labels right now, I’m typing away on my laptop. Oh well, what can I say? I’ll start workin on those labels tomorrow . . .

 

Third or Fourth First : )

Do Over. Again.

I have been frustrated with my blog lately. So, in an effort to get myself to want to write on it again, I’ve decided to shake things up. Again. I want a sense of continuity and purpose in this blog that I’ve never really had before so instead of writing whatever comes to mind and tagging it appropriately I’m going to create the tags first and write only under those topics. This is not to keep me from writing what I want, its more to keep me from writing dull, meaningless posts which serve no purpose for me or anyone else. : ) I have moved all my old posts to my slush blog where all posts I no longer want to look at but can’t bring myself to delete go and I’m all set to give this new blog plan a whirl. Topics you can expect to read about include horses, knitting, art, books, travel, Carl and I, etc. I hope you like it and for that matter, I hope I like enough to keep it up. : )
