I quit...invitations that is

I am sorry if you do not receive an invitation. I am also not sorry that I did not have to send out 80 million invitations.

Is the art of replying that hard? I've already got two replies that are not done correctly. I would be more upset except I'm just going to give them to my mom so she can call these folks because none of them are people I really know. If you are not coming, please still indicate your name...believe it or not, I am not a mind reader.

By the way, this is not going to be a particularly kid friendly event so it's best to leave the kiddies at home. Sorry, kiddies.

I needed to get that out. I'm surprised at how angry invitations can make a person. I am straight up aggravated...at...everything. This coming from a usually very level-headed chick.

Liza has also apparently started working on shower invites. The shower is located in MA so that puts a bit of a damper on the CT folks but a lot of Trevor's family is located in MA so it's convenient for many of them. I might end up trying to rally up local people so we can carpool. My mother has already dictated to me that I'll be driving her there so what's a few more bodies in the car?

Speaking of car, I'm so tired of being in one. This weekend we went to the Cape. We went to the Cape constantly in the beginning of our relationship but in retrospect I'm not sure how we managed it. lol I must be getting old because I'm totally worn out by the ride and road rage and traffic that caused the road rage...etc. It's fun to see everyone, as it always is but it'd be much better if we could teleport. I'm not complaining by any means because I know going to the Cape is a luxury considering there are many people who are squeezing their pennies to make ends meet and fill up their gas tanks just to go to work but it's pretty painful for me being in a car for long stretches. Plus I can't even use the time to catch up on something innocent like reading a book because it makes me sick to my stomach.

However, Strawberryfest at Trevor's-Cousin-Alex's-Girlfriend-Maggie's-mom's church was fun. I hulled more strawberries than I've ever seen but thankfully I find food preparation to be a zen like activity. Weird, huh? I just think there's something innately peaceful about something productive but thoughtless that keeps my hands busy and empties my mind from the thoughts that often crowd it up about the wedding, feeling guilty about not calling my mom, or not doing a chore at home...etc. Thoughts like that will eventually wear you down if you let them. Apart from a sore neck from sitting in an apparently less than idea ergonomic position for a few hours it was nice. The weather was beautiful.

The Jury is out

So Jury duty was a very long day. They didn't pick me so luckily I had some time on my hands to get some random grocery shopping done. The major Asian grocery store I'm familiar with is unfortunately a bit of a hike from my home so I rarely go but since I was already in Hartford it was very close. Where else can you get a gallon sized jug of my favorite Chinese Soy Sauce and and aisles of difficult to read food labels? In any case we looked at 3 houses this week. The ones in Manchester were...ugh...dumps. The Windsor house though was lovely...and of course the most expensive. But on the bright side it's in a very cute area and while there's not a lot of land the house is very large and seemingly well kept up. We've seen a lot of really disgusting houses. I can't begin to express how unkempt people allow their houses to become. So if all goes according to plan we'll have a house by the time the wedding rolls around. And yes I am aware that sounds li...

Overworked

I'm a lazy lazy lady. To be honest I'm too burned out from work to do anything, even motivate myself to make dinner more than 3 nights a week. For me that's a big deal and I'm already feeling guilty about not putting more nutritious homemade fare on my table. You can't be Superwoman, after all. In semi-wedding news, I received a Save The Date magnet in the mail from my pal Jenny's mom. :) I think that's a very cute idea, and Trevor ever so briefly also wanted magnets but has seemingly forgotten all about that. I personally don't care all that much because it's not a necessity of wedding planning. I think it's a lovely idea, but I'm not organized enough right now to get that all done, buy stamps, get addresses to send them out to...etc. I love my mom but she's only good for pointing out everything she doesn't agree with, which in certain situations is helpful, but not for this. I love her, but my mom is...unique. I think a lot ...

It's a work on progress

Holidays? Good. I don't have much to say about it because it was nice. Non-dramatic. No burned turkey. Turkey day with my husband's family. I love them, they're so cute. Day after with my family. Lots of deboned turkey stuffed with duck was consumed. I guess my mom was moved to make one after hearing about Devin's Turduckhen. I worked Friday because I was not fast enough on the draw to ask for it off and my coworkers were. Not like anyone called or emailed or anything. So it was a pretty good day to catch up and work on stuff I'd been having difficulty with. I did go to HRD's Hair Cut-a-thon because they had a deal where they were donating food to the Windsor Food Bank. If you brought in 6 items you could get a wash, cut and blow dry for $10. Of course I brought in way more than 6 items, but that's mostly in part to my love for food drives. I know there are people worse off than me and my husband is annoyingly negative and will stand on his high ...
