So life is just chugging along this month, and I realized that, oh hey, it's mid-July! The countdown to the wedding has begun, but, for me more practically, the countdown to getting the heck out of work has started. Can't come soon enough.
~~~~~
I spent ten hours today at my desk thinking through warranties and covenants and all kinds of legal issues that had my brain feeling really numb by the time I ordered my dinner.
~~~~
I did not get to go to my dress fitting (which I postponed from yesterday), and likely will not make it tomorrow.
~~~~
I tried not to think about the other document that I really have been neglecting that I really shouldn't be neglecting.
~~~~
I need to pick up my wedding band and argue with my tailor and figure out seating arrangements and…
But, hey! On to fun wedding things.
We have pre-wedding drinks on Thursday (August 20) lined up starting at 8:30 pm at Von, which is a bar where Michael and I first went when we started dating (or more accurately, when he was wooing me, ahem) and where we had a few celebrity sightings whilst sitting around drinking wine and basking in the heady delight that is Nolita (except I recognized none of the celebrities)*. Who knows where the night will take us? Personally I am really keen to check out shuffleboard in Brooklyn.
*I often wonder how many celebrity sightings I have had in my life that I just completely missed.
Wedding rehearsal (I keep wanting to say dress rehearsal) will kick off at 5:30 pm on Friday (August 21).
There will be an after party after the wedding on Saturday (August 22) where we all go boogie some more at a pub or neighborhood bar.
And finally, on Sunday (August 23) we will all gather for an impromptu brunch at Freemans, likely around 11:30 or noon. They do take reservations, not always a given for NYC weekend brunch, so if you're interested in joining you should definitely go ahead and book.

Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour last night I got a foot massage and stayed up late finishing Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave.

Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour two nights ago I spent a lot of time looking up all the activities that I want to do and all the food that I want to eat in Anguilla. For a small scrubby island, this place really has a lot of stuff. 33 beaches for an island 16 miles long?? Wow.
~~~~
Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour three nights ago I spent a lot of time planning out a fantastic 11 day itinerary to New Zealand for Christmas. Glaciers, fjords, mountains, lakes, star-gazing, hiking, and, um, yes, I realize that I may be getting ahead of myself here...
