Dear… People,

I am here to tell you something and pay attention because this is important.  If you are going to go visit someone who lives in an urban area it is neither cheaper nor more convenient to bring your own towable portable housing:

A) Most urban areas do not have readily available portable housing accommodations.  They have hotels.  And motels.  And narrow streets that are not tow-your-portable-housing-with-you friendly.

B) In the event that you do manage to find portable housing accommodations within the city limits, it will be just as much if not more expensive than getting a hotel room for the same amount of time.  Added point? You are not in charge of cleaning your own hotel room and it comes with hot water, electricity and a working toilet.

C) Most portable-housing-friendly grounds are located well outside the city as that is where most portable housing enthusiasts prefer to stay.  This means that you have to find a place to park your portable housing and then you have to drive (sometimes for miles and miles and miles) to go see the people you came to see.  (Though in my case it is far more likely that we will be doing all the driving to and from.)

In short….people who are bringing towable housing to the wedding…perhaps you should consider a hotel room instead because trying to find an acceptable towable-portable-housing park that is close by, affordable and with all of the necessary amenities is stressing me out.  Of course, some of that stress could be from the fact that it is not MY person for whom I am spending all of this time doing all of this research and making all of these phone calls but we won’t go into that.

In other news, I have been eyeball deep in work stuff and wedding stuff.  It is good because working helps me earn money to pay for the wedding stuff and I like checking wedding stuff off of our to-do list but at the same time it sucks for my blogging energy.  How ironic is it that blogging and this type of writing is what I really want to do with my life but I still put everything else first because this is still my “hobby”?  Note to self: To turn something from a hobby to an occupation perhaps it should be the first thing on your list of priorities and not an “I can’t do my fun stuff until my work stuff is done” item. Yeah, like I’m going to listen to myself.

People, we are down to the nitty gritty.  The wedding is in 49 days.  FORTY NINE DAYS.  We still need a cake.  Will and my Mom both love the cupcake idea but I am not so smitten.  Sure it would be easier, but at the same time, I kind of want the pretty pretty cake.  I don’t so much care about the eating of the cake (as I will likely flip my cake upside down anyway since I am not a fan of most frostings) but I kind of want it to be pretty and displayable and cuttable for traditions’ sake.  We also need to order our rings (though I think our jeweler has the kind of rings we want already in stock, I talked to them earlier today) and figure out what Will is going to wear.  He keeps going back and forth between traditional tuxedo and just a nice suit.  At this point, as long as he isn’t in his pajama pants or in ratty jeans and his Vans shoes I really do not care.

After that, the decisions are more like “how intricate do we want the decorations to be?” and “should we have wedding favors for people to take home and if so, what should we do for those?”

And, of course, finding accommodations for the towable portable housing that is close to the church and reception site.

Oh I’m sorry, did my hair hit you in the face as my head spun around?
