Home Stretch!

Tomorrow is one month from W-Day! I'm finally getting to a place where I'm looking forward to the wedding instead of dreading the whole weekend. The shoes, despite my shrinking feet, somehow fit; saving me time, money, and aggravation trying to find new silver slippers (kid you not, the shoes are silver).

Still haven't heard from the seamstress, which could put the stress in her title, but I'm not flipping out yet. Hopefully Doc still has her phone number so I can check on the progress. Worst case scenario, I own a white lace dress that would do in a total pinch. It shouldn't come to that.

Pros found a tuxedo he likes and that doesn't make him look like a waiter. He'll look wonderful, I'm sure. We both have had our rings shipped to us, which is probably more important than the dress. Mine is very unique titanium, his is tungsten carbide. These things are better built than the Space Shuttle.

The prezzies have started arriving. A note from my beloved high school English teacher with a check that I wasn't expecting. HUGE box of dishes from my brother and sister in law. We still owe them their gift, which is a weekend in the Bridal Suite at our favorite B&B.

Still dealing with the details, like making sure Cats is there since she's the officiant and finding time to aquire the wedding license. Worst case scenario, we'll get it the Thursday before the wedding, but I wouldn't mind a quick overnight trip to Somerset. Everything SHOULD get done, I hope!

Annoying...

Didn't get either job for which I interviewed and the school year is winding down. Well, financially it's screeching to a halt. This is not good...

Freaky feet and other thangs

It's the oddest thing. My feet seem to have shrunken. My heels have been narrow in a lot of my shoes for a while, but a couple of days ago I realized the size 7 shoes I'd been trained to look for since I stopped growing... well, they were just too big. Tried on the 6 1/2. Perfect fit. What the hell?!? One of the best things about having cats for a college roomate was that we had the same shoe size. Now her feet are bigger after her two pregnancies (got a lot of shoes out of that deal), but why did mine get smaller?

In other news:

• Wedding invitations went out on Saturday, which is good news! Forgot to put the time of the ceremony on them, which is bad news. The invitation place is sending out OOPS cards, but I'm expecting a lot of calls.
• Subbing has been, shall we say, a challenge. Today was one of the worst, especially with kids dumping glue into the art supplies because I told them to quit fooling around with the magic markers. The custodian is going to need an extra cup of coffee tonight.
• There is a horrible shortage of teaching jobs in the Columbus area, mostly due to the shrinking enrollment in the city. Between two districts, over 400 teachers have been laid off and are flooding the already cramped job market. Still haven't heard about my teaching test scores, but I didn't feel good after finishing it. I've decided to go back into finance, if possible, and stay there until things even out in the education field. Waiting on a couple of job interviews at a really nice investment house in the area.
• I hate when I'm right sometimes. My friend T (that's actually what I call him, not just a Blog Code Name) just got royally dumped. How did I predict this one? He's 28 years her senior and she's been studying in Paris all quarter. I warned the guy, but he was still caught off-guard. Hopefully he'll stop blaming it all on their astrological signs long enough for me and Duffy to drag him out for a fun night out at our local Goth club. At least he can ogle at the cute young gals in corsets.
• Have I mentioned the wedding is only six weeks away? ACK!!!! I need to do too many things and have no idea what they are. Having a nice drink might be a good start...
