LuvLuvLuv's Memories TR Starts Pg 73 - Honeymoon Day 6.1

[DoomBuggy0922]

Ohmigosh, I just cracked up at the spam post. I'm pretty sure that means you're a celebrity.

Anyway, I also love the story about your dad. So touching.

Also, so glad you're getting your dress! It's SO cute; I love it!

Totally understand the money battles with DF. Mine and I have had a ton of these. He's gotten better over the years, at least, which is good. Hopefully yours does too. Although, who has money to eat lunch out every day?! (Even McDonald's is expensive these days!)

I think I'm planning on paying RevJack in cash.

AND, as for food and wine, you have to try the green tea plum wine cooler. It is the best alcoholic drink I have everrrrr had.

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

So glad you managed to sort the dress

The story behind the tie is so sweet and it will be a perfect way to remember your dad on your magical day.

Really sorry to hear about the money problems, at least you got the money back from CG and you are still going to Disney for your amazing wedding.

Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

Thanks!! Now if only the next few days would fly by!!

Deena sweetie - Hang on in there!! We are all right beside you in spirit and you are nearly there!!!

Yay!! I'm almost there... I'm just gonna keep swimming!!

Deena,

One week from today, you will be married!!!

Wishing you a stress free week as you get ready to leave.

The story about the tie is a tear jerker for sure. Very sweet.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you!! I need a little stress free in my life!!!

We had the GT Plum Cooler last year... yum!! At this point... there's no time for any more nonsense!! It's time to get stuff done!!! I can't wait to get the dress!
______________________________

My ticker says days. DAYS! That makes me LOL. I'm kind of like , but the fact that I have lots to do makes me glad that my trash can is near by.

This morning did not start well. My Keurig decided to go ka-put on me and made a big mess, and left me without a Mocha. Then I accidentally grabbed DF's phone instead of mine. Same phone, same case, but mine is black and green, his is black and teal. So I had to turn alllllllll the way around and go back to switch. I was late for work which was a real treat. I didn't make it here on time at all this week--not one day

I kinda got nervous because I had a huge vent to one of my lovely DisFriends on there and it involved some FMIL bashing But luckily he didn't look.

On the flip side... I did look and one of the trash bartenders that he works with texted him on Sunday and said... Sorry what I said last night was probably out of line, but I want you to be happy and make sure you know what you're doing. He just responded and said-- It's okay. This has had me irate all morning that the people he works with on the weekends are clearly bashing me because I'm not tavern trash like them. I don't think I want him to know that I looked--but at the same time I am angry and want to know what was said. I am kind of glad that I looked because she was the one person there that I thought was "okay" and I've known her for almost 10 years. My opinion has taken a sharp turn.

I also noticed I got the wrong hair color---so I have to exchange it. I got Dark Auburn Vibrant instead of Dark Auburn Creme. I don't really feel like messing with changes, lol.

I really can't believe that it's just days now. I said a while ago that I would freak out... and yep yep... that's what's happening!! Hopefully this weekend is very productive. I got the okay to leave early on Tuesday so that will help! I can't wait to get on the plane and relax for a week.

Work, Clean, Tanning and Haircut tomorrow!!

5 days till I can Castle Dance!

 

[Bewitch324]

Ouch!! That totally hurts to have your fears confirmed that his "friend" is bashing you...even though you suspected, it sucks to have it confirmed. Just remember, you chose each other and no one outside of the relationship truly knows what is between the two of you and how good you are for each other. Nothing is ever perfect, we just each have to find our best fit...and the two of you are right for each other, despite anything (or maybe BECAUSE of) mean or spiteful anyone else out there may think or say...

Just know she obviously doesn't really know you at all and that is TOTALLY HER LOSS!!!!

Only a few more days and you'll be able to see the castle from the room where you will finally be a MARRIED person!!!!

I'm so excited for you, I am so hopefully that the joy and happiness that you and Dave will share next week will make up for all the aggravation (0k, maybe not ALLLLLLLLL of it....) and frustration of the last several months....

Stay calm and just keep reminding yourself VACATION IS COMING!!

Brooke

 

[donald&daisy]

"tavern trash" that made me literally lol. 6 days!!!! We leave on Sunday, can't wait!!

 

[belle2211]

Woohoo! Since its night now, in less than a week, you'll be married!!!! I'm sorry about DH. Boo! But so glad that you're getting your dress shipped to you...it's super cute!

The spam made me laugh so hard! I haven't seen a spam on anyone else's post!

As for F&W, my fav is definitely the Dragon Berry Colada at the Caribbean booth. I get it every time I go (so 3 times so far and I'm planning a 4th).

When are you going to F&W? Actually what is your timeline? (I think you posted it but I can't remember!)

 

[MrRomance]

First and foremost, you're entitled to be "bridezilla" to use your words...it's perfectly normal! I think the issues you're dealing with ($'s and MIL to name a couple) are enough to make anyone irritated!

I don't know your FMIL and I would never "bash" someone I don't know, but I can say that as someone with the MIL who is extremely difficult (note: this is my way of being tactful and polite) it is one of the most difficult situation to deal with under the pressures of the wedding. After years of problems with my MIL when I'd tried to be polite and bite my tongue, I lost it with her not long before we got married. We didn't talk at all for just over 2 years, but it worked to some degree! Sometimes, you have to vent and sometimes you have to put your cards on the table!

Now for MrRomance's guide to dealing with the stressful days ahead...

You're clearly going to be running yourself into the ground trying to get everything done and ready, but take just a few minutes every day for your sanity! Even if it's just 10 minutes when you shut yourself in a room with a coffee and relax, you need it!

A week from now, you will be looking back on all of this stress and saying, it was worth it! If I don't get to stop by before you head out to FL, have a wonderful trip, enjoy your big day, and my best wishes are with you!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

I will multiquote tomorrow and get back with everyone. For now... I just had to write. I am having a meltdown. DF got the worst conehead haircut of his life. My friend just chopped the hell out of my hair and its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too short. He made all these promises to me and I hate it, but couldn't tell him that. I need major help here and I'm wanting dinner, but DF is at the freaking bar with FMIL. She knew I needed his help today and she guilt tripped him into going. Yesterday I ran into the wall while I had the laundry basket in my arms and lost a toenail, later I was changing sheets on the bed and lost another--I'm down 2 toenails. I look like a mess--everything is broken or messed up. I feel like I should just give up at this point. I have no help, I am out of time, and although I just want to say.... 2 full days left.... I just want to crawl under the covers and say, "you go without me--I'm going to bed."

I guess I'll pack on Tuesday because as of now..... I give up.

 

[Jilian]

Aww sweetie. I'm sorry you are feeling so stressed. Take a deep breath and maybe a stiff drink too. You're gonna have to work with what you've got, make the best of your hair. You are so pretty that I'm sure it will look fabulous, so don't stress too much. Just come up with a plan. You're gonna have to let some stuff go since you're running out of time. Chop your to-do list down to the bare necessities and tell your DF that he needs to help and give him some tasks. If you miss a tanning session or two it will be ok and it will buy you some time. It will all work out in the end and you're going to have a wonderful vacation. You're getting married in the happiest place on earth! It is going to be perfect and all of your hard work planning will be worth it. Just breathe. It will all work out in the end. Even if it isn't 100% the way you planned.

 

[librarygeek]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry all this stress is happening to you. Jillian has some great advice up there, I hope you are able to enjoy yourself once you actually get down to Disney!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Whew. Breathe. I agree with Jillian and Becky up there. You can DO this!!! You are SO CLOSE!!!!!!! Have a fruity vacation-y drink, cuddle up with your dog, and just relax. I know you don't have time to relax... but relax. You're almost married, girl, you GOT THIS!!!!

 

[Lisa29]

Oooh, to be able to have a few words with the people totally NOT helping you right now

It won't seem like it at all but everything will turn out ok. You will have your perfect wedding just the two of you - and think of the major positive that everyone who is stressing you/getting you down/cutting hair wrong/not helping with money/bosses making you work just to earn your paycheck(!!) WILL NOT BE AT YOUR WEDDING!!!!! It will be just the two of you. You can turn off your phone and forget that anyone else exists for your whole trip.

Re-look at your to do list and see if anything can be dropped - do you really need to clean your house, only do the laundry you need, etc.

Pixie dust shall be sprinkled over you for the next two weeks , with a dose of wise to help and to scare all the mean people away!

I've let all that blow over. He said the right things--I just don't want him at that bar much longer. In 2 days I will be boarding a plane - Yay!

"tavern trash" that made me literally lol. 6 days!!!! We leave on Sunday, can't wait!!

Yep I made that up all by myself!! You're already there... Jealous!

Woohoo! Since its night now, in less than a week, you'll be married!!!! I'm sorry about DH. Boo! But so glad that you're getting your dress shipped to you...it's super cute!

When are you going to F&W? Actually what is your timeline? (I think you posted it but I can't remember!)

We'll be at F&W all afternoon on the 9th. After that.... I kind of gave up and only made dinner reservations--this is the first trip that I have almost "no plan".... only because I can't afford a plan this time We'll be at EMH on Sunday for sure, and Hollywood Studios on Tuesday the 15th! I'll try to keep this updated with where we'll be!!

You are so wise Nice to have a man's opinion sometimes!! I just have to quit crying and know that it'll be all be okay 48 hours from now. Until then--I have doctor prescribed Ativan, Cherry Coke and Doritos---a great recipe for relaxation

Aww sweetie. I'm sorry you are feeling so stressed. Take a deep breath and maybe a stiff drink too. You're gonna have to work with what you've got, make the best of your hair.

Thank you for your words. Everything makes sense... I just feel so defeated. I'm sitting here at work knowing if I was home that I could be doing stuff. I'm sure it'll be good. I'm glad you all are here to bring me back down to earth.

Oh no!! I'm so sorry all this stress is happening to you. Jillian has some great advice up there, I hope you are able to enjoy yourself once you actually get down to Disney!

Me too!! I want to dig into those F&W booths so bad. I'm ready for that!

Whew. Breathe. I agree with Jillian and Becky up there. You can DO this!!! You are SO CLOSE!!!!!!! Have a fruity vacation-y drink, cuddle up with your dog, and just relax. I know you don't have time to relax... but relax. You're almost married, girl, you GOT THIS!!!!

I wish I could knock things off... but I can't. My dog sitter is a germ/clean a phobic. I'm not. I pretty much have to detail my condo in order for her to stay there. She's free and trustworthy, and accepts payment in cosmetics. Oh well. Thanks for all the pixie dust, wisdom and scariness!!

I've taken a dose already this morning, so I'm somewhat calming down. I tried to stay positive this morning, but after I blow dried my hair I was so irate that my blood pressure and me in convulsions and tears. It's really that bad. It really needs fixed--which will make it shorter and break my heart. It took me 13 months to grow my hair out--and it's gone. I would be really mad if it was just a regular everyday cut---but I'm getting married. I can't stop crying about it.

[MrsDuck]

I hope you're feeling a bit better today!!

Looks like you have a lot to do today but you're so close to the Big Day! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

I hope you're feeling a bit better today!!

Looks like you have a lot to do today but you're so close to the Big Day! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Thanks!! I dunno why I never want to take my meds---they really do make me happy They also make me think more rational.

So since I posted, here's what I've accomplished:

A girl that I like is off today--but I made an appointment with her tomorrow at 3pm to fix this hot mess. I will leave there get my ring cleaned, and go exchange my stuff, and get my nails done.

I called off tonight. I just can't do it. They are super mad, but I have to have the time. I want to feel bad for letting them down---but I don't.

I got a response from Jason--all is good and well.

I will keep updating as I make progress!! It must be done!!

 

[Jilian]

Yay for making progress. I hope you hair gets fixed so you love it again. Have a great day!

 

[librarygeek]

Good for you! Work can deal for one night without you, sounds like you are there all the time anyway! I'm sure they'll be able to work some magic on your hair and get it looking the way that you want it. Good luck!

 

[lpizzuro123]

I just sent you a PM about my pink crinnie. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Linda

 

[BethieTink]

Deena,

Sorry that my wish of a stress free week has been anything but. I agree with Jilian. Just do the most important stuff and if little things don't get done, who is going to notice.

We will be Epcot on Wednesday too, so hopefully we run into each other. I will be probably wearing my pink Mickey polo and Paul will be wearing a white Stanley Cup Champs Bruins polo.

Have a safe and relaxing trip and in case I don't get to post when we are down there. Have a fabulous wedding day!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Yay for making progress. I hope you hair gets fixed so you love it again. Have a great day!

Thanks!! Hopefully she works her magic and can do something with what little we have to work with It's not just me--everyone's been making fun of it

Good for you! Work can deal for one night without you, sounds like you are there all the time anyway! I'm sure they'll be able to work some magic on your hair and get it looking the way that you want it. Good luck!

Thanks!!! I need it!!

Thank you so much!!! I think I'll have my white minnie bride ear tank that has rhinestones on it. My hair will be dark red and he will be super tall, probably in a Perry the Platypus shirt!!

____________________________________

We get on the plane in less than 24 hours It really is finally here. I think I'm kind of in shock. You know, the kind of trauma shock when you don't even realize what's happening around you? That's how I feel. I left the house without meds today, so wish me luck.

Final budget dillemma. Down $350 from what I would like to be. We think a few last minute items may trickle in today--if not--I'm going to have to pull an ET and phone home Really that's all spending money, but it still would be nice to have. All my vendor envelopes are done--all important stuff is paid--so the stress isn't really crazy.

I could cut out doing my nails today--but I've decided that I'm going to do them anyway, lol. I wasn't planning on paying for hair twice either. I said we could cut out the Town Car--but he wants it.

So today's To-Do list grew from not getting everything done. Here's what I have:

Delta Check In
Keys to Brenda
Dave Pack
3:00 – Hair Cut with Nina
Find Sheets for Brenda
Nails Done
Whiten Teeth (Deena and Dave)
Ring Cleaned
Highlight Dave’s Hair
Dave's Eyebrows
Exchange item at JCP
Purchase White Undershirts for Dave (I have a $10 coupon!)
Vacuum
Garbage Out
Dark Laundry
Finish Packing
Tanning
Stop by Dillard’s
Clean Bathtub after Hair Color
Color Hair

Think I can do it?? I think I'm leaving work at 2... if not before. I plan on staying caffinated and going to bed by 2am! I bought Porterhouse steaks and Phineas and Ferb Mac & Cheese to keep us motivated!

We're checked in to Delta, got our boarding passes and paid for luggage!

Also, there's a 35% chance that we might do a TTD at the end! I already talked to the CR about Dry Cleaning his suit so it may be a go!! We'll see how brave I am that day!

I'm basically only staying at work long enough to get organized on paper, and have lunch--then I'm out. Works for me!

My BM dress came yesterday. I'm in love with it. Dave loves it too!! However, I decided against taking it basically because of our schedule and the night time weather. I would have to go back and change because it would be way to cold to wear it out after. Plus I love it so much that I don't want food to get on it, lol. It will go to good use--I'm glad I got it.

I will try to update late tonight!! I think we're taking the laptop--but not positive. I want to be able to check in!! Okay--I'll be back later--it's about to get busy!
