The Story of My Life!

wedding plan blues

Best laid plans! That's me! My son's wedding is this Saturday. Yup, I was way ahead of the game. Organized to a T capital T. Purchased my 2 dresses 2 months ago. Two dresses? Yes, 1 for the morning Tea Ceremony (This is an American - Cambodian Wedding) 1 for the church wedding and reception). Put on my dresses for a second look see on Saturday . TOO BIG! That would normally be good news - NOT right before the wedding! NOT with a family dinner to prepare for on Thursday evening, a rehearsal dinner on Friday, the tea ceremony at 9 am with a brunch to follow, the church wedding at 2 and a reception to follow at 6. 120 guests from NJ, California, Canada, Florida, Australia and Cambodia. Oh, and my younger son and his girlfriend depart the next day for a year in Seoul, Korea where they will be teaching English to kindergartners in a private school.

Well, here's the drill - God is Good. I shopped 'til I dropped yesterday and found two dresses, jewelry for one outfit -

What I need to do today:

1. work until 3
2. pearl earrings
3. pearl bracelet
4. pearl necklace
5. silver shoes
6. drink H2O
7. say a prayer of thanks
8. silver bag
9. hose
10. black bra
11. breathe
12. slip
13. pick up dry cleaning
14. chiropractor (tense neck)
15. relax
16. drink H2O
17. make hubby dinner
18. remember this is all going to be ok
19. shower
20. close my eyes and try to get rid of the dark circles

Thank goodness I tried on the dresses this Saturday!

Next Year's Nifty Idea For Halloween - Never to Late to Help a Child!

Check with your local churches, pre-schools and elementary schools next year - I just discovered that there are lots of children who's families have difficult financial situations and one of the rippling effects is that they cannot afford Halloween costumes. If you're at a yard sale or church rummage sale and see something cute and in good condition, think ahead, pick it up and set it aside for someone in need. It will make you feel soooo good. Please consider donating costumes and other decorative accessories useful for awesome outfits wherever the need may be in your neighborhood.
