i'm getting married in a few weeks. who knew it would sneak up so quickly, though people warned me it would. i am frantic with things to do and how to pay for them. the groom is supportive but lacks the frenzy i am so famous for. needless to say, there are days in which i am grumpy and hard to get along with. i know, i know, what a surprise. oh, and throw in my birthday and that the was-wife is in town for 2 weeks for the grandson-to-be's junior high graduation. i don't remember graduating from anything but high school and now there's a whole production for pre-school. i think i like the simplier times better. but i survive in spite of myself.
but this weekend is the long memorial day weekend and that is when i update the house for summer. all the winter curtains will come down and the light, airy curtains will go up. it totally changes the way a room looks and adds the much needed light into the room. i am a proponent of changing your surroundings with the seasons. go through your stash of things you keep but never do anything with and make some changes in your environment, it's quite therapeutic. all the dark colors are going away and the pretty blue and white stuff comes out. it's almost like christmas to open up the storage cabinets in the laundry room, check the cedar chest, and look in the bottom of the closets for the summer stuff. of course, it does require that you do some spring cleaning. the dust bunnies on top shelves will fly.
spring cleaning takes on a whole new meaning this year as we will have a household of people coming through for the wedding. i am absolutely delighted that my aunts and uncles from texas, also known as 'the texans', are coming for the wedding. and the groom's youngest daughter and her son are coming from florida. while there will about 3-4 days of total and complete insanity. i just keep telling myself that there is an entire week off for the honeymoon afterward. and i'm sure the wedding will actually be just fine but i may be drinking before it gets here.
