Creating order out of chaos!!! It's just chaos everywhere.
Stuff everywhere. Magazines and envelopes and apples. It's
everywhere. It's giving me anxiety! It's time for things to
be back as they were. It's also time for the Red Sox to figure
out that they have to take out the pitcher when he's throwing sloppy
meatballs at the batter!! Just an ugly game tonight.
I'm going to make apple crisp!!

Less than 3 weeks now before the wedding and it is all starting to feel
real in a non-overwhelming sort of way. Every time I imagine the
day, from start to finish, it seems like it's going to be a blast!
I didn't have a lot of "blog type" thoughts today. Just busy all
day. I guess I'm not so full of wisdom and poignant
observances. Mostly I'm full of superstitions and paranoia, you
know? But getting my thoughts off my mind and ontio the screen
makes it easier for me to sleep sometimes, so I like to just let it fly.
Drew and I got all of this new kitchen stuff at the Bridal shower on
Sunday. Isn't it funny how sometimes you get stuff and you never
really accept it into your life? You know like jeans or a shirt or
something. There are the pairs you wear all the time. Then
there are the ones you just don't like. Well, all of the stuff
from the shower on Sunday has been "accepted" into the daily
life. They're in rotation! And some day, we'll have a house
where all of our nice stuff will be at home. It doesn't belong in
this dilapidated old house apartment where the roof is coming down
around us.

One of the songs in the wedding is called "The Luckiest." And
today, I feel like the luckiest person in the world. I have such
sweet and wonderful friends. They are so thoughful and kind and
want to amke me feel so special as I head into this new life. I
really do feel like I have a new family here. Judy takes suh good
care of me. She has opened her home and her life and her heart to
let in a virtual stranger. And in a way, she's seen me grow
up. She's been there through bad dates and awful jobs and moving
(she even had the curtains that matched my bed spread for some
reason!). She's been there through uclers and anxiety and panic
attacks. She was there in my less fat years -- and she's here in
my fatter years. It is so truly wonderfulto have a friend like
that. Judy threw a bridal shower for me today. It was so
beautiful. Like something out of In Style magazine! I felt
so special and wonderful. She paid attention to each detail and
was so thoughful! And there were so many wonderful friends and
family there. Having my future mother-in-law there.. she's been
so supportive. And Wendy and her daughter Hailey. I have to
say... when Hailey recognized me as "Auntie Julianna" it just makes my
heart melt. When I walked into the shower she ran right over to
me to give me a big hug and kiss. And so many friends and family
from over the years. I moved to Rhode Island not knowing a single
soul. I mean no one. I just had a job and a good
feeling. And now I have a new family and friends who are so
wonderfully supportive. I truly am the luckiest.

Here I am after a huge burst of creative energy at work... and I have
nothing to write in my blog. All of this wedding stuff takes up
so much time and energy. Go do this, decide this, wear this, say
this, calculate this, budget this, try on this, pick this.
ICK! All of this so Drew and I can just live our lives
together. We just want to start our own family!

It's early in the morning when I write this. A wonderful rain is
falling and we can hear it outside our open windows. It's finally
cool enhough that we don't need an air conditioner. Those A/Cs
rob us of all character in the summer, but it is nice to be able to
sleep in a cool room. It's a big fat wedding weekend for us and I
mostly just want the whole thing over with so we can go on
vacation. Maybe I'll bring a computer with us so I can update the
blog and you can know where we are!
