I am so beyond tired/stressed/overwhelmed right now. This week has been especially hard... I've woken up late for work the past three days in a row, and yesterday I even called in and said I wasn't feeling well (which I wasn't), and would be in late, and came in to work at around 11:00am. I also haven't been eating much, and when I do, its crap. The other day I ate a 1/2 bag of Goldfish, and a box of Mac n Cheese....I guess it's just a mixtured of things. Mostly, the wedding, but also Team In Training (which I have not been keeping up on this week. Bad Mentor!), friends, life, etc. Also Jose started his clinical internship for paramedic school in Stockton, so he has been working nights out there. I don't mind when he works nights... It used to bother me to be home alone, but it really doesn't anymore. Plus I have Adam and the cats there, so its not so bad. But, when Jose works all night for some reason I can't go to sleep until very late... usually around 12 or 1 at least.
It's funny, because I've been engaged for a year and a half, and I was never really that stressed out about the wedding. I just planned things as I went, and everything seemed to go very smoothly. But once the 3 month mark hit, man it was like a light switch went on, and things are CRAZY! I have been working on the invitations this week, coordinating everything with the Berkeley City Club, trying to find a parking lot for the guests in Berkeley, getting addresses, talking to the minister who is going to marry us, getting info about tuxes to all the guys in the wedding party, looking for attendants gifts, etc etc etc. Simply nuts. Not to mention the fact that I'm IN a wedding next weekend. When did life get so crazy? It seems like even without planning a wedding, I have too much to do. Maybe its just my anxiety...it may be time to get a higher dose of Ativan! Haha... Oh well, only about 2 months to go, and we will be relaxing on the sunny beaches of Mazatlan! Until then, please excuse my insanity.

A Woman's Work is Never Done
So this weekend was very fun, but jam-packed! On Friday night, I met Heather, Holly and Ashley in Walnut Creek to grab food/drinks before going to the movies. We went to Tiki Toms, where we got a Scorpion Bowl... Its like a HUGE drink that you put in the middle of the table, and everyone shares. It was good, but STRONG! haha... Afterwards, we went to the theatre where we stood in line with about 200 other women, anxiously waiting to get our seats to see the movie. While in line, we ran into some girls from high school. It was great to see them, but its always weird running into people you used to be really close with, but haven't talked to in about 5 years... Especially since so much has changed. Also while in line, Heather and Ashley went over to 7-11 to get some drinks to sneak into the theatre. They came back with 2 bottles of red wine and some beer!! Haha.. Crazy girls, but it was great. As for the movie, well that was great too!!! Although, I have to be honest, it wasn't as good as I expected... But I think it was mainly because of all the excitement going on in the theatre (and all the drinking). It was hard to really take it all in, and I feel like everything was just distracting. Good thing I had a ticket for Saturday night, too!!
Anways, I woke up the next morning way too early, and a little hungover... Time to go to Kick Off. I got on the BART train at about 7:15, and I was on my way to SF. Kick Off went pretty smoothly. I was super tired the whole time, but that was alright. The only thing that wasn't good was that only ONE of my mentees showed up. So that was annoying, since I had worked so hard to make sure I had everything done for them. So, after KO, I went home, watched TV, and took a nap for about an hour. That night, I went to Jenn's house to see SATC once again! This time, i gotta say, it completely won me over!!! The theatre was quiter, and I was able to just watch the movie.. it was fantastic. I think I will go see it again next week with my mom!
So, after all that, I still had one more weekend day to go... Sunday I was able to catch up on some much-needed sleep, and got up at about 12 noon. I then spent the rest of the day cleaning the bathroom, doing dishes, doing laundry, going through mail, put stuff away, etc etc etc... It was nice to get stuff done, though :)
Now it's Monday and back to work!!
XOXO,
