Posted by LoWriter at January 14, 2009 11:10 PMOne thing you Have done, however, is make a good "to do" list. :) Forgive me for being the optimist...but i think you've made a good first step by writing these items down. Next, maybe you can cross off the things that you've already done (cleaned out the hall closet, decided what to wear tomorrow, etc), cross out all the items that you don't actually have to do (decide what kind of shower to have, cure world hunger) and put aside all the items that might not actually need to be finished before the wedding (decide what you want to be when you grow up, beat Mario for the DS, read your magazines, etc.).
Even though you still have lots to do, i have total faith that you can finish the remaining items in the next 4.5 months without losing your sanity. If you take 1 evening of steady work, i bet you can knock off 5-6 of the 'easier' items. Like do dishes, throw out junk mail, take out empty boxes, wash pot holders, restart computer, etc etc. Besides, if you do a bunch of the less time-consuming items all at once you can cross them all off your list and then have a celebratory drink and toast to your general awesomeness!! :)
And don't be afraid to ask for help!! You have an amazing fiancé who can help with all the wedding items, and lots of friends who can help with the packing. We all love you and will be more than willing to help!
I'm amazed at your lists. WOW! :)
