mixed emotions

[chestnutcurls]

The good thing about business meetings is that when they're over, you really appreciate having a whole day to get things done. It's much more relaxing. I need relaxation, because things keep getting me down today. Some are serious and some are stupid:

- Kathy called last night to tell me that the lady who does all her sewing (and altered my dress for MaryElaine's wedding) died suddenly on Wednesday of a massive heart attack. She was in her early fifties and in great health. This is the second such death I've heard of in the last month or so, and it makes me really nervous. It's shocking to be reminded that you are not too young to lose your parents. :(
- My department is hiring two more coordinators. Since the job posted, I've had several people come over and ask me if I'm leaving. :P With the new people, there will be equal numbers of coordinators and managers, which probably means that I won't be working for one of my bosses anymore. Will I be assigned? Will I have to choose? I don't know which is worse. I'm finally busy, comfortable, and content in my job, and I don't like this at all.
- Wedding planning is driving me crazy. The main goal of this month is to send the invitations, but that requires setting the menu for the reception. I have to figure out the whole flower situation (and probably make a million fake arrangements). I have to finish organizing the wedding slide show and burn it onto a CD for Kathy's mom. I have to figure out how we're going to get rid of all our excess furniture. Oh, and also, Hurricane Ivan is about to tear up our honeymoon location.
- I'm very worried about my Floridian friends and family.
- I'm in such bad shape. Evan and I ran a little on Wednesday night, and then I walked last night even though I was sore. Today my legs hurt. A Lot.
- I just heard that there's a free Tigers party tonight at Newby's and they're giving away 50 pairs of season tickets. Then Jump Little Children is giving a concert! But I'm already committed to going to another party tonight, and I have to go alone because Evan is working late. Also, I'm not going to the game tomorrow - I'm going with Ryan, Luke, and Myla to Goat Days. Don't get me wrong, I'm really pumped about Goat Days (there will be pictures later to help explain why), but I'm sad about missing the game. I feel like so much is going on this fall, and I'm totally missing it.

To make up for all this whining, here are two good things:
- Sunday is Evan's and my anniversary. One year ago, he unexpectedly held my hand on the couch, and in 79 days he'll be holding my hand at the altar. :)
- God is in control. All the time.

Excess furniture - have a yard sale!!

Work yucky - where are you going to put them? I'm always worried about the lack of extra cubes here - as far as I'm concerned, I think we are in the "good" building and I'd hate for us to turn into a buncha sardines like over in B!!

Sunday - Happy Anniversary!!

Oh yeah- my sister and her boyfriend are about to move into my old house near you, Brenda, so you might want to call him! 849-3131 Wes

I have no idea where we'll put them. I'm very afraid that they'll make us share cubes or something.

Squee! Welcome to crunch-time stress!
Let me stress again that Angela Dacus of Southern Event planners can do your last week with you (pay the vendors, make final phone calls, set up the reception) for a very reasonable cost, and it will save your life.

Everything will work out- just keep focus on one thing at a time, and remember Sam's Club has beautiful real flowers.

That is so weird. This lady that my friend Katie's family knows did our alterations for Katie's wedding last year. This spring I was going to have her alter something for me but Katie told me she died suddently. She was in her 40's I think, a Christan, with a husband and two young children. I was shocked. I want to buy life insurance now that I'm pregnant. I'm terrified of doing life on my own. Jason pays most of our bills online and I don't know what the login/password is or the account numbers. EEK!

Oh My! I didn't even think about how the hurricane(s) were affecting those places. I hope it's not too bad. :( ((hugs)) But like you said at the end of your entry, God is in control.

I have been thinking about the fact that your 1 year anniversary is approaching. Congratulations. :)

Thanks! :)

Oh how sad about that lady! :( :(

It's shocking to be reminded that you are not too young to lose your parents. :(

Yeah. :( I wish I wasn't able to say that from experience.

I pray that your family and friends in Florida are kept safe, and that your job situation works out in a good way! *hugs*

I agree about meetings, man. I love meetings. I go, I come home, and I'm done with my work for the day! Or at least, you know, that kind of work.. lol.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like that about my job most of the time. I never have to take work home or anything.
