spring I-need-a-break
It's spring break, which means I spend every waking hour that I would've been in class working on everything I couldn't accomplish because of it.
Two days ago we found two dressers on really good sale, so we picked them up. As the daughter of a carpenter, I was nominated to be the one to put in the elbow grease to construct said project. TJ's help involved holding pieces together long enough for me to get the screws in, then sitting on the couch watching TV as my moral support. We got the smaller of the two put together and then the next day, the bigger dresser was put together 100% by yours truly. TJ was at school so I popped in some classic rock and worked away to songs like Hotel California and Freebird. God I love the guitar solo from that song. When I was little my dad would be down at his work bench or out in the garage working on things with the classic rock station blaring. I like to think that when I do that too, he's smiling down on me. That is, until I drive a screw out the other side of the board and have to fix it by hiding it under some black electrical tape... Anyway, now we have 2 cheap, but nice looking, new dressers that I have all the bragging rights to their construction. The former tomboy in me is smiling.
When I'm not doing hard labor, I'm on the phone with various vendors planning our wedding. Ok I'm taking a nap on the couch watching crappy People's Court shows, but I eventually get around to wedding planning. We started our premarital counseling classes recently and our first assignment sounds like it will lead to interesting results. We each have to write a paper. The first paragraph we write about ourselves, the second is about our partner, and the third is how we think our partner sees us. TJ's immediate response to this was "Does 'stubborn' count?" Neither of us has actually started this assignment yet, but I'm extremely intrigued as to what he is going to say.
Our DJ is finally coming around and sounds like he'll actually have the type of music we want to hear, with enough of it to fit a 4 hour dance, and I'm 3/5 of the way done with finding out what my bridesmaids want done with hair/makeup to tell the nice ladies at the salon what to expect for us. My mom is finally ditching her jackass of a boyfriend too. Last I heard he's starting to date a new victim, yet he still continually calls my mother to go do stuff with him. The guy has serious issues. At least I don't have to deal with him at the wedding anymore :o)
That's all for now, I'll try to update this thing a little more here and there.
