32 days BUT who is counting?

Me.. that is who is counting. I am ready to go to Ovations for a crazy day of fun! Color, cut, brow wax, AND my wedding hair and makeup trial. I have no idea why I am getting a hair trial. I trust Richard, and only Richard, with my hair. I have for the past 10 years and will continue for a long time! He is the best. My salon is a home away from home. They are so warm and friendly! I owe Lisa, the receptionist, my left arm since she has been amazing! I have my contacts in because I am a pro now so I can really see what is going on! I will be posting pictures later so I will be waiting for some feedback!! I hate to plug BUT if you are looking for a good salon... Ovations (215-923-4747) is AMAZING!!!! Everyone there is amazing and does a kick ass job!
I love my Richard and cannot wait to see how it all goes today!

losing my mind....

It is getting close... I can feel it. I can smell it. I am having nightmares about it. 39 days is what I keep telling myself this morning. The wedding will be here before I know it! One thing is done and over with- all the guys are done getting fitted for the tuxs... that is no one less thing I have to worry about (THANKS, ALICE!!). Tomorrow, Dan is taking the day off and we are heading to Doylestown to get the marriage license! There is a 3 day waiting period... I guess in can you are so close to your wedding date that you want to change your mind! Next week I have to pick up my dress. I have been so good with not doing the booze/dessert thing! Last night I was so hungry around 9 p.m. BUT I drank some water and relaxed.. funny but it did help.
The nightmares are pretty crazy. The most over the top scenarios... Alice told me that they might get worse as we get closer to the day... her advice? Breathe.

dress fitting #1

Today I took my dress in to get hemmed. Last time I tried it on, it fit perfect and I was super excited. Today I had to put the dress on so the lady could see how much she had to take up the hem. When I went into the dressing room to try it on, the damn dress did not fucking zip... I was on the verge of tears. My mom being there was not a help AT ALL. SHe tells me that I must be getting fat becasue the dress does not zip... just what I needed to hear. I was able to finally get it zipped and the hem was done. I took it off and have made a decision- NO BOOZE OR JUNK and I MUST work out!!! I detest working out and am not a fan BUT I have to do it. I have 40 some days.. i will look awesome!!!

time for contacts!

So today I went to the eye doctor. I decided to use my OTHER insurance to cover the eye exam. I actually went to get a prescription for contact lenses. I got the whole comprehensive eye exam and all is well! The eye doctor was wonderful and very patient. I did not want to try to get the contacts in while I was at the store BUT the doctor talked me into it. After a while I did get the contacts in and could not believe how awesome I could see! I am still wearing them and am really excited. I actually went and got a pair of sunglasses when I was done with the eye doctor. I am wearing disposable contacts BUT I am not going to sleep in them. I have to go back in a week to get my eyes checked b/c of the whole allergy thing.
I do not plan on wearing the contacts everyday. I do love my glasses but i do plan on wearing them when I go out places. It is strange to look in the mirror and not see glasses!
I am not stoked to not wear glasses for the wedding. I do not like the way the reflection catches on the flash and, because I have Transition Lenses, they make the area around my eyes where the glasses are look dark.
It will be nice to walk up the aisle, exchange my vows, and dance the night away with out squinting the whole time!
