Wedding, Mom, I don't know...
Mar. 4th, 2005 09:22 pmLet's talk about mixed messages for a moment here, shall we?
My mom, who is always on my case about my weight, and in fact made a point of mentioning that I looked thinner (I've lost about twelve pounds recently) and has been very complementary about it...decides that she needs to buy me a bag of M&Ms. All green ones with little Valentine's Day messages on them. I know she knows that I like green M&Ms the best, but still...mixed messages anyone?
I've lost enough weight to wear my watch a notch down. I think my engagement ring is also getting looser. I know I put a pair of jeans on that didn't fit quite right a few weeks ago-I'd still like them to be a little looser, but they're probably not unwearable at this point.
Mom called me last weekend and asked if I loved my wedding dress. And I gave her a non-committal answer, not really wanting to tell her the whole answer, which was, "I don't know. I'm not sure if it's the dress I don't love, or it's me in the dress that I don't love." She said to go look for another dress. I resisted, mostly, but I tried on two dresses this week, at two different places. And ended up buying a new dress today. And it looks much better than the other dress. And the most important thing, I feel better in the dress. Oh, and it's a size smaller than the dress I've got upstairs. One minor detail is that the arms are tighter than I'd like them...not unwearably tight, but tighter than I'd like them to be. We'll see what happens. I ordered a tiara and veil this week. I should go buy shoes too.
It seems like everything ends up being about the wedding planning these days, and I'm probably insanely boring.
Ninety Nine Days. And I will be very very glad when this is done.

And in case people are wondering...
I trust Cayne to make a good decision about whether or not he cares to look at the dress.
I'll have it by 5/27 (what a great birthday gift, right?)
