But now, it’s back to reality. Honeymoon in a few days, then reality. I actually got a bunch of tasks done earlier in the day, so I can start from scratch.
- Do that big work thing that needs finishing before honeymoon. Sorry to be so vague, but work and internet don’t mix well.
- Throw out a whole bunch of garbage and empty boxes in my house
- Drink the open bottles of wine from the wedding before they go bad, or give them away
- Get some pictures printed of our wedding photo, to enclose in thank you notes
- Send thank you notes.
- Read more awesome books. Funny story, I decided to put my plan to read all of the Pulitzer prize winners on hold before the wedding, and just read a light paperback romance - you know, to relax. So right before I left for work on Friday, I quickly pulled a book form my “cheesy-paperback” shelf. Got on the bus for my 45 minute commute, opened up, and realized I misfiled my books, and had picked up a paperback of Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Yup, that one, about rape and slavery. Also a Pulitzer winner - so that’s what I’m doing.
- Reorganize my kitchen, as we got a lot of awesome kitchen stuff
- Give away old kitchen stuff - bye bye grad school plates, hello new plates!
- Buy a new dining room set to replace the Ikea stuff I bought second hand in grad school.
- Sign the boys up for activities for the fall
- Learn to bake using my new stand mixer in apple green which looks amazing.
- Send some paintings out into the world. This just requies making it to the post office
As always, it’s just a start. But, as I am super happy and caffinated today, it feels really doable.
Congratulations!! I'm so glad I got to go. You really looked super awesome (not that you don't all the time).
