This time next week I'll be packing things into my Wonder Women's cars to go to the venue and book into the rooms. It will be time to start getting prepared for later that afternoon.
I'm thinking pink bubbles (rose sparkling wine) and chocolate might just be the breakfast of champions. Although it might be a better option to just go have a nice big breakfast at the venue instead. Don't want to be floating around in a daze all day due to having a "champagne breakfast".
So what's been happening since I last blogged? Quite a bit.
Firstly, I think Father Time has been using speed or something because the last two weeks have flown by. I'm hoping that this last week will fly by too and then slow down to a snails pace so I can enjoy the two weeks I'll be off with my husband.
It has been a busy time as you can imagine. I've been trying to get the final loose ends tied up so that I can start to relax. Wishful thinking.
I went to fetch my jewelry on Thursday from Kathleen. It looks amazing! I can't wait to give my Wonder Women their gifts today when I see them for our hair trial. Oh and YAY for finally going to get my hair done! I feel like bursting into song ... "I'm gonna wash that grey right outta myyyyyyyy hairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". I feel like a twilight vampire as the sun reflects off of the grey streaks on my head. Ok, it's not that bad actually. Anyway. I'm dying to see what my hairdresser comes up with for my hair (no pun intended) and how it will all look when my tiara is on. Told you I was going all princess style for this day.
And talking about princess style, we had our first dress fitting last Saturday. Which was postponed from the Saturday before that. Oh my shattered nerves! Anyway, we tried on the linings of our dresses - me with a large poofy petticoat thingi too - and so far so good. We were meant to go back again this Thursday past, but when I called to confirm I was told the dress maker wouldn't be ready for us, so we'll have to come on Tuesday next week.
... Tuesday next week.
4 days before the wedding.
*&^%$#$%^&*&^%$#%^&*
*runs around screaming in panic*
Needless to say, I'm feeling a little let down by the dress maker at this moment. But I know he's good at what he does. I just wish the dress was done already! Would be one less thing to worry about. He better not mess it up ... or he'll definitely be missing a testicle or two by the time I'm done with him.
My BBF organised a kitchen tea for me two Sundays ago, which was hosted at my parents place. It was lovely! They've stocked up my pantry with all sorts of baking goodies and yummy things that I wouldn't usually buy myself because they fall into the "luxuries" category. Yay yay yay!!! For those of you that were there, thank you so much for all the goodies and all the love! Mwah!
What else ...
Oh yes! I took my mother and my three klingons shopping for the wedding. Finding a suit for my son has been an interesting endeavor to say the least. I was hoping to get him a set at Edgars, but then its a case of the jacket fits beautifully but the pants don't. Eventually found him a jacket at Woolworths which looks great - just want to see about changing the buttons now. The pants were a nightmare. Eventually I was told that I'd have to drive to Paarl Mall to get them as they have stock. I was even in JHB on business this week and kept an eye out when we happened to go past a shop. But alas ... nada, zilch, niks! So last night after work we met up with the minister to discuss final plans, etc, and I popped into the Woolies there (Tygervalley Mall). They had the pants in a variety of sizes! Yay! So I've now had to buy them in two sizes and will have to return which ever one doesn't fit. OMG I hope one of them fits! I'm going to have to take them up anyway though because the legs are going to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for the kid! And if it's one thing he's sticky about, it's the length of his pants! *sigh*
Anyway, we found a beautiful outfit for my mom - she's going to look so pretty. Then it was us off to find my two girls shoes for the occasion. Managed to find Raechel a very cute pair of shoes to go with her dress. Had to make it very clear to her that they were not to be worn before the wedding though! She wanted to run around in them immediately. Eventually found Danielle a pair of heels to wear. That was amusing. She had some on and was walking around the shop. Thing is, those legs and ankles were wobbling about like a new born bambi! Had to tell her she won't be able to dance in those and that we had to take it down a notch. Found her a gorgeous pair of heels that work beautifully. She's stoked of course to officially have her first pair. Which by the way, fit me too! Maybe she'll stay away from mine now! LOL!
Talking about dancing ... we decided to take the kids with us last week to dance class and we were all taught to do the "Boogie". What fun! The kids had a ball and have been practicing ever since. Very cool.
Ok, I have to go fetch my little one so that she can have her hair done too.
