Petals & Pixie Dust Planning Journal 11/30/2009/2010

My Nan had Alzheimers and before she got really bad she was so funny. She only drank tea and I didn't so when I went round I used to get a cup of hot water with milk and sugar. She used to say "How was your day? I'd tell you about mine but I can't remember a bl**dy thing." Priceless - I should have written a book about her.

Well get you Mrs Indemand!! Good luck sweetie, especially with the one you really want. Sending you loads of pixiedust:

Yep, don't forget the pictures or you know I'm on the first plane over for the slideshow :rotfl:

How funny about your Nan! You should write a book.

I hope I'm Indemand enough! Thank you for the pixie dust...

As soon as I get a moment...Work is getting int he way of my wedding planning!!! I will post pics..promise!
 
ok... so I know it's still technically the 19th there, but it's the 20th here... So

10 DAYS TO GO!!!

*giggle*

Love it!
Tomorrow...Interview...Pick up the rest of the cake supplies...and anything else I need...Meet cake lady at 6Pm...Do various other wedding things...

The interview is the second one for the job on 10/29...Keep the pixie dust coming! I'm nervous as heck and can not focus on prepping for it...Um...I'M GETTING MARRIED IN 10 DAYS (UK Time!!!!) :banana::banana::banana:
Only 375 until our DFTW but who is counting!!!
 
Congratulations! That's great news!

The countdown is officially on! Not only do you get to count down to the legal date, but then you're only 1 year away from the whole shebang!! :rotfl:

That's the best thing about having both events on the same date. There's no, 9 days until the legal day, and 395 days until the big event... Which would suck!
 
Bec-That was DF's idea...and if we can't get our date (11/30) with DFTW we have the back up date as 11/29...but yeah! 8 days!

I dropped supplies off to the cake decorator-a friend of mine is going to do that for us. It will be a mad hatter cake-or at least she is going to try...with gum paste flowers...all white...I don't really care either way...I'm just excited that I'm getting a "wedding" cake.

So, I got bags for our favors and just need to stuff those....Made my hair appt. and just have to pick up make-up..I figured I'd do my own. I need to pack my stuff b/c I'm staying at my parents house the night before. OH and I have to take some more pics and post them! (BAD DISBRIDE!)


8 days! :woohoo:
 
So, this time next week I'll driving a total of 234 miles to train boring solicitors and then going to the gym.

You got anything planned for next Monday by any chance?

Awww, that's great. We had a wedding present from our friend - her and her husband are both out of work so I was really touched, and annoyed!

Enjoy the week sweetie x
 
4 DAYS!!!

NOW I'm starting to get excited. My boss has been super cool! When I got back from a photo shoot he told me to go and "Go plan a wedding." :rotfl: I'm very lucky to have a great boss! He's even letting one of the girls get out early to come and take pictures! What boss does that???

Yesterday I had some stuff to do. I got a table cloth for mom's table, spanx type thing for me, and came up with a play list. Music is from Vitamin String Quartet-check them out on itunes-they rock! :thumbsup2

Ok...I have 40 muntes until I have to leave for work...I'm gonna try to get pics for you girls...hopefully I'll be back in a few!
 
OK luckily I didn't have to fight with photobucket too much!

First, here is our play list:
All You Need is Love
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Brown Eyed Girl
Crazy For You
River of Dreams
I'm Yours
Can't Buy Me Love
A Hard Days Night
Sail Away
You're My Best Friend
Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Imagine
In Your Eyes
Have I told You Lately
You Were Meant For Me
Hello, I Love You
Vision of Love
Copacabana (had to! LOL)
Save The Last Dance

Again, all done by Vitamin String Quartet....Very cool! Of course this list was a labor of love that is for certain...I just wanted cool music...DF wanted love songs...How backwards is that!

OK Favors...We are doing tea and biscotti. I found mini biscotti on a web site called Peggy's Biscotti (I think) and the tea bags...I got for free...(See Previous Story)-We paid for them with bottle deposits!:lmao:

Here is the cover for the tea bag

Here is the tag

I wanted to put them in chinese food take out boxes but I couldnt find the right size...So, I put them in celophane bags...I think this is pretty cool b/c then people can see my work...Here is the finished product

And the baby biscotti in the back...

PHEW! Finally, pics are now up-to-date...with 15 minutes to spare!

Df has his Honey Do List to complete today...Maybe the boss man will let me out a little early...but I'm not holding my breath. I'm thankful that I have a job and enjoy the work.

RE: The job I had the second interview for..they emailed asking for references...So, I guess that is a good sign. We will see what happens...Keep the pixie dust coming!!!:wizard:
:dance3:OH MY 4 DAYS!!! :dance3:
 
THREE DAYS!


Yesterday was pretty eventful. My boss let us all go at 2:30 to enjoy the holiday! So, DF and I went and got a ton done. Let's see...We got him a white shirt and a new tie (decided that the tie we got wouldn't go with the tie that I got him in NYC...oh well...We got him a Donald Trump tie...a little part of NYC with us!-I'm such a sap) We got a butter dish and gravy boat from Potter Barn, got some lotion from Bath and Body,picked up the turkey from my parents house...and was advised that my mother is not having finger foods...UM...What the duck??? What happen to cake and coffee...Mom doesn't want people in her home and NOT feed them. LOL...Ok...Then she tells me that she will snag FMIL when she gets there and bring her upstairs to see me...What ever....I told her to do what ever she needs to do...I'm pretty much over it...HOWEVER, I'm NOT over what she is serving...or that she is smoking in the house....Sorry this turns me into bridefreakingzilla. Dress in house=smells like an ash tray...:furious: Not to mention that she's just destroying her lungs...and it will end up causing her trouble in the long run :sad1: It makes me sad and mad...but I also know there is nothing I can do about it...:sad2: Anyway, I'm a picky eater and she is serving mini sandwiches (I won't eat them) cheese and some sort of sandwhich meat (eewwww!!!) and oh...So, I will have something to eat...Meatballs and sauce...Red Sauce...and all I can say when I look at her is...UM...RED SAUCE WHITE DRESS...DUH! To which she replies, "I didn't think of that." Great. :headache: So, now what??? She doesn't know...I can just bend over the table...ok So everyone can see my cleavage? Again, I ask what the duck? So, I think I'm gonna have to go and get an apron and iron on letters that say "Bride" so I don't get messy. Sheesh!

To top it off...I might not be able to sleep in my room..or get ready in my room b/c my dad's clothes are all over it...He has taken it upon himself to use my childhood bedroom as his own personal closet. Again, WTD! :furious: I'm moving all of his junk out of my room so that I can have it back...Sheesh! :snooty: GRRR!

Ok bridefreakingzilla moments over-I think...:laughing: Ok at least for now. :rotfl:

So, we get home and finish our vows...DF put "Revision 462.5" on them. We had to take out the fun part b/c we couldn't take the time to practice them. Oh well...I love what we have...PM me if you are interested.
Then, I looked at it this AM and realized that there is no "Who gives this woman to this man" bit...Ooops! Dad is kind of looking forward to it (I think just so he can have my room) So, I emailed our officiant and said-Yeah we forgot this part. Add it where it needs to go. Thanks! :headache:

So, this has turned into the wedding that wasn't suppose to be...but everyone is doing what they want. Thank Goodness we still have the Disney wedding b/c honestly I just want to have fun and ENJOY MY wedding. MY day. This is just nuts! :rolleyes:

On a happier note. (Sorry, didn't mean to be such a downer there...just needed to vent I think before I blew up or something....) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I have a ton to be grateful for that is for certain! AND to top last night off...I got an email for another job! I'm still waiting to hear about my #1 choice...but this might be a good back up...Oh and I have to call on MONDAY...my wedding day...LOL...It's ok. I don't mind especially when it is obtained by networking...good thing the wedding is at 5PM! It will give me sometime to make the phone call at least! Fingers are still crossed for the job I just had a second interview for...:wizard:

Ok off to prepare for dinner tonight, work on my favors, and thank you cards...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
