| wedding braini'm suffering from what i have expertly diagnosed as wedding brain. i've decided that it's rather similar to brain damage, though just temporary (i hope). i have this one-track mind, and i unintentionally halt every conversation and steer it to be about weddings (see last couple of posts). it's kind of irritating, to be honest, and i don't realize i've done it until i've been having diarrhea of the mouth about processional music for enough time to make anyone's entire body go numb from boredom. i have an obscene amount of trouble making decisions. i'm quite erratic and unproductive. i also can't remember to do anything unless it's written on my one 8.5x11 sheet of folded-up, recycled paper that's currently acting as our wedding planner. i'm tempted to start writing down basic things like eat dinner, drink water, sleep, go to the mall.
i've never been the kind of girl to get excited about wedding stuff, so to be sure, i'm not really excited even now--the wedding is (for the most part) a means to an end. i can't wait to be Shane's wife and for him to be my husband. and i should probably also say that i think the day will be really nice, and it will be amazing to have so many of our loved ones in one place. :O)
ah, so there you go, another wedding post. wedding. wedding. wedding. wedding. i'm sorry. 12 more days!
lovelove,
wedding.

| wedding hair
in efforts to save some money (as well as try to protect myself from the real danger of very-big-and-uncomfortable-wedding hair), i think i might try to do my own hair for the wedding. i did a trial run the other weekend. after gobs and gobs of mousse, blow-drying, hot rollers, curling irons, hairspray and bobby pins... the verdict is... it was pretty for about 20 minutes. i will return to the drawing board, perhaps with a couple of extra styling instruments at my disposal. ...perhaps something that will permanently damage my thick, stubbornly straight hair into being slightly curled.
oh and btw, my fiance is finally coming back to the States... tomorrow! yippee! :O) i think i'll leave the curlers at home.

| i have two wedding gownsi'm slightly embarrassed about this, but i'm going to say it here, on the world wide web, that i have two wedding gowns. yes, i know that i don't need two. and no, i'm not rich enough to be able to do this sort of thing. so i'm selling one on ebay. if you wish to see the one that is not-the-dream-dress, here it is. if you want it, let me know. if you know someone else who might want it, let them know. if you want to advertise for me, that sounds great too. :O)

PS: if your name is adam, you may or may not be advised to look at those ebay photos (you would know for sure if this applies to you). thanks. :O)

| gas station advertisements
as we were waiting for the tank to fill up, i glanced over at the glass door filled with posters, and i casually asked my friend, "do they sell cocaine here?" she looked at me and responded just as casually, "do you need some?"
apparently, it's an energy drink. i feel behind the times, friends.

| wedding dressesso, i went wedding dress shopping yesterday. i had put my planning on hold for various reasons that i don't wish to go into right here (sorry that this delay in turn affects everyone else's planning), but i decided to finally go shopping for my dress. i had been once before, and it was slightly uncomfortable due to the fact that i was diving headfirst into enormous and complicated gowns by myself, not really liking (or feeling like myself in) anything i tried on, and still being expected to stand on a pedestal for everyone to look at and tell me those perfunctory compliments through plastic smiles. not really my idea of a good time.
yesterday, there were lots of dresses that i actually liked. i actually wanted to stand on a pedestal for people to admire these dresses on me. ha. it turns out that my body, with its abnormally long torso and other strange measurements, is well built to support very expensive designer wedding gowns. who knew. the more expensive, the better. my favorite one so far costs about a third of what i was expecting my entire wedding budget to be. maybe if i wear it everyday for a few years, i could justify buying it...
