Wedding Blog 5

Sept 26, 2007 ~ "Patience"

I am so impatient! I can NOT wait for these last 11 days to go by! I am trying to slowly do the two items I have left to do: make my bouquet and decorate my daughters flower basket!
I really am not good at waiting on something I work hard toward. Like when I graduated from college I ignored the fact I was finishing because I was driving myself crazy the last two months thinking about it. Though the day of, during the commencement, the tears came. I was a mother 3 out of the 5 years I was in college and even though I had alot of family help, it was hard.

I'm expecting an overflow of emotion on OUR wedding day! I am not an emotional person, well normally I'm not. I cry when I'm sad or upset, but not at sad movies or things like that. Of course this isn't including during PMS LOL. So I'm waiting on the BIG day and my tears to come.

Next week is going to be a big week. FI comes here from Texas on Tuesday. We haven't seen each other in a month. Then we get married on Sunday. I'm planning a day for us on Friday. He'll get his first massage and pedicure =) We'll go by our venue which he's never seen more than pics of. I'm exicited and can't wait. Someone give me some patience!

FI told me to do some stuff so I won't sit around just waiting but all I want to do is see him and have our wedding! He put some money in my account today and told me to go shopping! If you knew me you'd know I do not turn down a trip to NY&Co. or any chance to shop but I don't want to shop I want my MAN and my WEDDING now! Hhmmppff I'll shut up now and get ready to go to the mall. Maybe retail therapy is what I need!

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We

The New Yorker Cover

I was not going to address the New Yorker’s broadly publicized cover, but since it’s all over the place I will! It portrays Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in a Muslim outfit and his wife, Michelle Obama, in a militant outfit. When I first say the cover on theybf I was very upset. I understand freedom of speech but wow! It seemed like a blatant attack on Obama’s campaign to me! I was appalled at how they put it up, on the cover of all places. Then to have the audacity to call it satire! I know it was sarcasm, but just like some jokes, it did not come across well. Atleast to me! I spent some of time on Monday and Tuesday reading responses and explanations to the cover. I was not as upset after reading some of them. Others made me want to scream. Tuesday, Obama was on Larry King Live. I really enjoyed this interview. At the beginning Larry King asked Obama what he made of the cover. His response: “Well, I know it was the "New Yorker's" attempt at satire. I
