everything & nothing, as usual.

so many things have been going on lately, and i realized today that it's only 10 months (and 1 week) until our wedding! 9 days until xmas! and 15 days until 2010! i can't believe how fast the time is flying by; daily, weekly, monthly, and the whole year in general. i have been working on a lot of everything and nothing, as usual.
work has been busy - i have been taking on some extra responsibilities at work, which is occupying a lot of my time. i have not been home before 630 for the last couple weeks, and it really takes its toll, making my days really long, and my free time pretty minimal. i am hoping that this extra effort will pay off soon!
i have been putting off some of the wedding planning since before thanksgiving, just becuase the november holiday, work, the engagement photos, and christmas parties have been happening one after the other. i have got to get back to dress shopping, especially since most stores now have their 2010 designs out! i was really hoping that this whole dress thing was going to be one of those classic OMG moments:
girl finds store, girl sees dress, OMG moment, everyone cries tears of joy, girl's mom buys dress, and they planned the rest of the wedding happily ever after. the end.
nope. i am here to tell you ladies, unless you are one of the lucky ones, that's not how it works! i have, so far, been to about 11 shops, tried on probably close to 60 dresses, and still no OMG's. it is almost becoming a chore to find a dress, but i am not ready to give up! the search must go on!
in other news, i have not done any christmas shopping yet, for anybody. also, i have given all of my good gift ideas for tim to his mom, and now can't think of anything to get for him (not to worry, dorothy! i will figure it out!) i had a longer list a week ago, but didn't write it down, and now it's lost in the matter (that's brain matter, folks). ah, well... i will just attribute this to my horrible fiance skills, which i seem to be perfecting since october 1, and blame it all on my inability to function as a proper fiance should - caring and thoughtful and such. but as a quick reminder, i only have 10 more moths to use this excuse. better start making the most of it! being a bad fiance might be because you are so crazy in love, but being a bad wife is just being a b*tch. i'll work on that.
