Another weekend of lying around and hanging out with Will is rapidly coming to a close and I think I’m okay with that.  I am looking forward to not having to get up early tomorrow.  We had planned to sleep in today but Will’s Dad called at about 9:30 which would have felt like sleeping in if we hadn’t been awake until almost three because something on World of Warcraft was taking longer than Will thought it would.  So…yeah.  Our big “yay we get to sleep a lot!” ended up being, at most, six and a half hours.  Oops.  I made up for it by taking a nap at noon.  (I did not mean to take that nap but it served its purpose)

Tomorrow is going to be a busy busy day.  Obviously I have work to get done–and I have to get it all done in the morning because my rescheduled wedding dress appointment is at two.  I am going to take an Advil PM tonight so that my stress level surrounding this event will not keep me awake all night.  I cannot be tired and cranky tomorrow because, in addition to having to get a lot done and trying on wedding dresses (which could end up being a five minute appointment depending on whether or not Tower Bridal lives up to its ginormous list of bad reviews on Google), tomorrow is the Jen Lancaster book signing at Powell’s!

I am beyond excited to go see Jen Lancaster again.  Her book signing last year was too much fun and I have a feeling that Jen’s brand of humor will be exactly what I need after trying on wedding dresses and being all stressed out.  I still don’t know whether or not I will stand in line to have my book signed (probably not) but just going and listening to her read and answer questions will be awesome.  I have looked forward to this event since it was announced.  Yay for book signings!

Because the bridal shop is close to downtown and the book signing is at Powell’s, I’m pretty sure I’ll just spend the rest of my afternoon hanging out downtown.  I’ll probably return some books to the library, grab a late lunch and just wander.  Or, you know, get to Powell’s really really early and spend my afternoon reading.  Either option is appealing.

Tuesday I am meeting for a free consultation with a caterer.  I don’t really like the idea of hiring a caterer since what we really want is to just do a big potlucky picnic kind of reception but I like the idea of being able to serve burgers and hot dogs if we want to and I do not know how to organize such a thing without involving a caterer as we do not own a grill or the means to transport a grill even if we did own one (larger than the tiny “sit on top of your kitchen table” size that is).  I don’t think I’ll actually hire the person but I want to pick his brain and get ideas to help make feeding the guests more feasible.

Speaking of wedding stuff, I will probaby start putting together our wedding invitation template this week as well.  I am imagning this will involve a few hours of me swearing profusely at Photoshop.

But still–the most important event tomorrow: Jen Lancaster’s book signing! Yay!
