i’m not feeling anxious, or nervous, and i’m not getting cold feet.

but tonight i’m feeling a little bit panicky. because i’ve been carrying around this notebook with my list of things to do, and i keep revising it, but now, i have to cross everything off the list. and time is RUNNING OUT.

i just realized that there seem to be glaring errors in the program we’ve been working on. things aren’t in the right order. kevin and i have to look at it together.

i made the second layer of the backup cake today, and a whole bunch of cookies. also we cleaned chairs at mom and dad’s house. they look really good, and at least we were outside working and it was gorgeous and the wedding is going to be really lovely.

dad went out and spent quite a bit of money on decorations for the yard.

i hadn’t thought of yard decor, because the yard itself is quite beautiful.

but dad decided decorations were necessary. so i’m sure it will be spectacular.

one little problem now is that people keep bringing up overlooked little items, and they’re rapidly adding up. so instead of crossing things off my list, i keep adding to it.

bad.

very bad.

i have to sew a button that has come off my dress. i’ve been so busy thinking about cleaning and baking and stuff like that, i haven’t spent any time on my general appearance. i’m getting a pedicure tomorrow, so that’s something. at least my toes will look good.

when we get back from our honeymoon, we’re going to go camping.

not that i’m planning THAT far ahead.

mollie had a good day because she got to go to mom and dad’s house with us. she ran around in the yard a lot. but she didn’t really nap at all, so now she’s very very tired although she was sitting there looking plaintive when i was baking cookies. and then i looked down and she was looking up at me DROOLING.

i guess i should be flattered, because she usually only drools when we’re eating meat, or at least a hot meal. not cookies.

crazy dog.

i gave her a dog treat and now she’s sleeping peacefully.

i have to go to sleep soon myself.

except i have to cross at least something off my list…

goodnight, goodnight,

VERY soon to be a bride,

grace
