I have been prone to these since I started working in the food industry.  They used to be about waiting tables.  I would have the entire restaurant as my section, and there were 1000s of reasons I couldn't get to a single table.  If I did get a table, I would write down the order and not be able to read my hand writing when punching it in, and then I would try to remember, and not be able to and then mark would fire me.  Never Wyatt, he was way too nice, and was definitely the "good cop" of that duo. 

Recently they have moved to slightly odd trader joe's dreams.  I once dreamt that I drank my captains water because i was so thristy.  He caught me in the act and i just kept drinking.  It was the second time it had happened, and we were going to have to talk about it.  I woke up incredibly dehydrated and told my captain the story.  He found it very amusing, and told me that i were ever that thirsty his water was mine for the drinking.

I have, of course, also been having wedding anxiety dreams.  I started having them even before I was engaged.  I would show up to my wedding no having showered wearing pajamas and eventually would call the whole thing off.  They progress as the planning process progresses (lots of p's in that sentance).  Last night at my wedding (remember, this is in la la land) there were a lot of problems.  1st off, there were 2 other couples getting married in our ceremony location.  Then, my flowers were dead, or at least dying, and rather than be a bridal bouquet, they were more like a "you just won the kentuky derby bouquet" you know?   A big thing that rests in your arms and weighs as much as two 6 month old children?  it was really ugly.  Then, of course, we didn't have an officiant, because we still haven't booked one. 

I know that this probably bothers people, but we don't want a religous wedding.  God doesn't play a very big part in our everyday lifes, and therefore, we really dont' feel the need to have him play a big part in our wedding. Oorrrr, a part at all.  So we want a judge, and we dont' want to pay the guy that does civil ceremony's and seems super cool $700! to perform OUR ceremony  Anyone know any good hennepin county judges?  Where is mindy?  I loved Mindy's judge.  Where is he?

Also, I didn't have any lipstick.  I was very upset that I wouldn't be wearing lipstick on her wedding day.  Yes, I am that much of a damn girl that I was freaking out that I didn't have any lipstick on my freaking wedding day. 

In ther news I started contacting dj services.  I would love any and all recommendations out there.  I have contacted bellagala and Instant Request (the latter of whom has won with lowest bid, but I imagine I can get bellagala to lower their price if i tell them instant request was lower than them).  The problem is, we like very very very esoteric music.  Okay, maybe just very esoteric,  no need for the "very" emphasis.  But there are a lot of songs that we are really going to want to have played.  And honestly, as much as anyone says "you can bring a cd on your wedding day to the dj" i don't REALLY think my head is going to be in the place where I want to be thinking about bringing a cd to my reception.  Yes that is what sara (personal attendant, yep, i'm a snob, but she is kyle's sister in law and I love her, and she gets things DONE!) is there for.  But I don't want anything to get screwed up.  Like the cd's we give them don't work, or they forget to play certain songs, or we mess up the play list order.  Whatever.  I'm going to try and get a few more bids and we'll see what happens. 

I tried on some wedding dresses at Brides of France today.  I feel kinda weird putting these lavish big poofy white dresses on.  It doesn't really seem my style.  But, i really like this one (photo not posted for fiance purposes.  Yes, i am lame, and dont' want kyle seeing me in my damn dress before we get married). It just made me feel good about myself.  I also like that the designer makes them customer to order, per the measurements of my body. I also like how it laces up the back.  I also like that it's pretty cheap, if you're talking wedding dresses.

I'm scared about getting a dress in the next 3 days.  That seems scary, so I'm making it scary in my head.  I don't like that feeling of buyers regret, which I think I'll probably have on every single little decision that I make. That is most likely why we have not yet booked a photographer.  I think I know who we are going to book, but I'm just not ready to make that decision.  I decided to get married.  That's enough, no?

I know that I talk about my wedding.  Yes, I also know I have been engaged for only a month.  But I also have a BLOG about my wedding, and that cuts down considerably on the amount that I talk about it. 

I don't consider myself a cheesy person.  I do like a couple of cute romantic things every once in a while, but really, there isn't a lot of cheese involved in my personality.  I have also been falling victim to some very cliche things since I've been engaged.  This mostly involves looking in bridal magazines (Martha Stewart is by far my favorite for its practicality regarding making stuff instead of buying it) and looking on the knot.com. 

My problem is not looking at cool stuff to do for my wedding, but being blown away by the weird ass shit all of these other girls are doing.  Big, ugly, poofy, dresses, pink heart shaped centerpieces made out of fake roses, sexy bridal pictures for the "grooms eyes only".  Jesus people, be original.  If you want to take some smutty pictures, buy a digital camera and invite your fiance to particpate (and for godsake, it doesn't take very long ot type fiance, so don't abbreviate it with FI!  AH!)  I promise it will be way more fun than just showing him some pictures of you.  And do not, ever EVER have the photographer take a picture of you and your husband staring mesmorized by your rings.  It's gross, you look dumb, and you can look at your rings for the rest of your lives.  I cannot stand the cheese people.  It's not even good cheese, it's like target brand kraft singles that doesn't melt right on your white bread when you're making grilled cheese.   Bleh

Yeah, I get to wake up reallly early twice a week now.  I promise I'll post something when I get home, and I also promise it won't be about silly bridesmaid dresses.
