16 days and what do you get?

Married, I guess. Scheisse. The days are whizzing by me and I can't seem to lasso them into submission. Only 16 days until the wedding and 13 days until we drive back to GB to get things ready ahead of time. I'm excited and just crazy at the same time. I'd be fine if I didn't have summer school starting on Monday. I could have said no. I really could have said no. BUT, the money and the whole trying to impress the bosses...it was too much to resist. Besides, Chris is still trying to get a job, but he did have a sweet interview today, so I hope the best for him. But at least we have our honeymoon planned, even if it isn't exactly an exotic adventure.

Still, progress has been made in many areas. But there's more to do and less and less time to do it in. Some fun highlights? Getting a leather loveseat tomorrow (total hand-me-down), had fun bridal showers and awesome bachelorette parties, and have had 3 weeks of sleeping in. However, there are a few things hanging over me yet. These are the things still not checked off my "to do" list:

My Wedding:
1. Purchase some ribbon to attach some of the decorations for the ceremony.
2. Make sure our DJ has the songs we put together on CD and has the correct playlist for the wedding.
3. Go through the options the photographer sent to us and choose the shots we want.
4. Buy some details such as: a pen and a cake knife and server.
5. Write my vows.
6. Write up our special Unity speech.

What about for other people's weddings?
Frankly, at this point, other people's weddings are the least of my concerns. Ask me after July 27.

What about school?
1. FILE a few more stacks of papers that are left with other junk in my dining room.
2. Plan more than the first day of summer school. It's hard to break old habits, but I'll go insane if I don't.
3. Register for and take a class about web publishing so that I can help create an online school newspaper for the school next year.

Life?
1. Take Chris's mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother shopping for their dresses they will wear to our wedding.
2. Bike a lot all over the place in a lame attempt to make the bike purchase worthwhile and get in better shape.
3. Try running a bit in the mornings, if I get the ambition. Biking just seems a lot easier and I get farther.
4. Call my grandmother more often.
5. Write more, watch less TV, and finally use that teeth whitening kit. (I've been super awesome about not drinking tea or coffee for the past few weeks.)
6. Make less lists. Accomplish more on lists.

Wow, looks like I've made progress everywhere EXCEPT in my overall life. Baby steps?
