In other news, the dramatic commercial breaks on Hell's Kitchen drive me nuts. I don't even care who wins anymore, the only one from this season that I actually liked was Julia.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I am insanely stressed and I so desperately want this to be over. Never. Again. Absolutely never.
Delurking to say everyone I knew before I got married vowed the same thing. I started at a job, and for the first year a woman was planning her wedding. She knew I was engaged, and a month before her wedding, looked me straight in the eyes and said:
"Elope. I'm serious. Whatever you do, just... elope."
The next year, another co-worker got married. Two months before her wedding, she heaved a huge sigh, looked me straight in the eyes and said, yes, you guessed it:
"Elope. Go to Vegas. Send everyone a postcard later."
So, yes, it's all normal. Doesn't make it any less maddening, but it is normal.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I pretty much enjoyed both my weddings, though in neither case was the preparation what I'd call normal.

Our wings are not tired.
And I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow.
For baby wipes?
{{Callaluna}} Yeah, normal. As is working too damn much when you work for yourself. Try and take a little time to enjoy the process and each other. Maybe cut out some tuxedos from a catalog and an appropriate paper doll and play dress up with him. Trying to repeat the process he had with the best man might not work. Be sure to include blue ruffles with the samples.
Yay ita for a most excellent car repair report!
Yay JZ for the most excellent interview!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's pretty normal Callaluna.
I don't think I took care of my tuxedo stuff until the week before the wedding (with JZ) actually. I apologize for all the groomsmen who are lacksadaisical about tuxedo acquisition!

I posted my question in Bureau, so the whole board could weigh in.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My a/c won't turn off unless I unplug it. This is perplexing.
