This is Happening, Guys

Ok, so we're T-22 days to the wedding (WHAT? CRAZY! also: 22 is my favorite number), and shit's getting real.  Sorry for the language, but it is.

The dudes' scarves are done (minus weaving in the ends on 3 of them, but that'll get done while I watch 30 Rock tonight), the ladies' wristwarmer glove things are done (thanks, Reed!), I just started the moms' cowl neckwarmer scarf things, and Reed's about to start the dads' ties.  I'll do some knitwear posts soon, cause why not?

Bouquets are done, boutonnieres are scheduled, and I've been ordering supplies from SaveOnCrafts like it's my job (my night job).  I've had three dress fittings, and am going again tomorrow morning (we're currently trying to solve a physics problem related to getting the dress not to fall down. seamstress says: solvable!) with my sisters.  I've tried on the dress with my boots, my blue glittery TOMS, and my cardigan.  And various strings of pearls.  And a scarf.  And one of the bridesmaids' pairs of gloves.  I'm all set, yo.


This weekend is the bachelorette party, planned by my sisters and close friends.  I am happily out of the loop, knowing only that I'm meeting them tomorrow at a hotel in Union Square.  I thought I'd share this dream I had recently...clearly some manifestation about my desire to control everything (even though I really am excited about this surprise weekend, I swear!).  Also, I had just watched something about vampires, so maybe that's where it came from.
In my dream, we had rented a cabin somewhere for the bachelorette party, and my sisters had hired Twilight-themed strippers, who came stalking up through the woods like vampires. We freaked them out and sent them away, but one came back and he was the stripper and it was super awkward...but I was really really drunk, so it wasn't horrible I guess?  Later, we were mostly sobered up, and we were opening presents (what, was this a bridal shower all of a sudden?) and this super drunk chick came stumbling up to the house wanting to get in.  Eventually, we let her in, and I think we became friends?

Dreams are weird, and this wedding is coming up!  Stay tuned for (hopefully) more posts on crafting and such as I finish up projects (with massive help from friends).

  1. So what I got from this was that you ENJOYED the Vampire strippers...("so it wasn't horrible I guess?" ) Damn! Should've included a couple of those in the Bachelorette weekend!

  2. I said it wasn't so bad, not that I enjoyed it! Being drunk just made it less awkward :) also, it was a dream.

  3. You dream sounds exactly like my wedding actually went down, except instead of vampires it was my mom on xanex. So, it wasn't horrible...I guess. :) YAY FOR KIM AND WILL!
