Random Thoughts from a Large Head

I’ve just ordered this dress by Kiyonna. It’s more than I want to spend, but I love its modest, elegant, and classy style. I hope it looks as good on me as it does this sassy model.

I am tired of looking for a wedding dress. Is it too much to ask for a simple, below-the-knee to mid-calf length, ivory or white, plus-size dress that is maybe a little bit modest for under $200? I don’t think I’m being too demanding.

Today, I was happy to discover that an old acquaintance of mine is running a really cool business of her own: she’s making "I’m a bride" shirts that don’t suck.

I ran into Paige at the Fort Worth Bridal show. Along with a friend, she’s started Be Fizzy, which features subtle, well-designed shirts and hats for brides that aren’t all girly and pink and sparkly.

Not that there’s anything wrong with girly and pink and sparkly. It’s just not me.

I am a master procrastinator. If something doesn’t jump out and excite me, I will put it off until it is absolutely due. Case in point: the risk analysis paper due for class tomorrow morning.

I don’t like morning phone calls. They are always bad news. This morning, it was my mom calling to say my dad was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Today, by 10:30am, it felt like I’d done enough for it to be noon.
By noon, it felt like 2pm.
By 5pm, it felt like 8.
Now, it’s 10:30pm, and I’m tired like it’s 2am.

It’s been a long day.

Today, I was quoted $2000 for 2 hours of use of a chapel downtown for our wedding. That’s pretty much what I want to spend on the whole she-bang! The wedding industry is such a racket. Back to the drawing board.
