Crunch Time

For serious. I have 40 days until the wedding. I'm doing pretty well in terms of planning, but I am definitely starting to feel the pressure. I've decided to take a big step at this point which will hopefully help with my stress level though:

I am going to STOP reading wedding blogs.

It's been great reading them up until now, and I've been seeing beautiful things and getting neato ideas, but at this point, it is just not what I need. Let's face it, I really can't add anything new at this point unless it's really THAT important. And what can be so important that I haven't thought of it until now. I haven't completely unplugged myself I guess, since I just moved them down on my google reader list, but I made a point to put them in a different folder that is NOT entitled Wedding. That way, if I get nostalgic after the wedding and need to check out some weddings, I can have at it, but until then, it's not important.

I've also just given up on a few ideas that I was brewing for the wedding planning. They weren't huge things, and I'm not at all sad that they won't be at the wedding. One was chair covers. I thought it would be super pretty, but decided it's not at all worth the prices I was finding. The other was just silly really- I saw on one of the blogs these tissue paper hanging pompom things that looked super cute, and I could assemble them before leaving for Seattle, but I couldn't figure out where to hang them or crap like that, so I've decided to not even worry about it. I'm really just kind of relieved that I'm not bothering with some of these things.

I've definitely got a pretty steady checklist still, but I've been checking things off pretty much every day.

Also Also, I don't know if I've griped about this yet or not, but: Weddings are expensive! gah.
