50 Days!

I can't believe it's been 50 days since it was 100 days! If the next 50 days go that fast, I better get on the ball!

I'm headed up after work to pick up my dress. Yay! UPDATE (5:41 p.m.): The woman on the phone gave me the wrong hours; when I double checked the store closes at 5 on FRIDAY not THURSDAY like she said. So much for tonight. It'll have to be tomorrow... Sob.

I had also begun to worry about Peggy's bridesmaid's dress. I mailed it on April 29. She got it today. It took 13 days to go about 567 or so miles to Pennsylvania. I could've biked it there faster. Well, maybe. If I were in shape. I had a tracking number on it because I wanted to make sure it didn't get lost. I was concerned when I went online yesterday to discover the dress had left North Carolina on Tuesday morning. My panic alarm went off so I rooted around online to find a phone number to call where I could talk to a real person. Ms. Anti-helpful's words of wisdom. "North Carolina is one of the stoops a package makes when going from Ohio to Pennsylvania."

I don't think she appreciated my humor when I asked if it was traveling on a pony or if Kansas was another one of the stops a package makes going from Ohio to Pennsylvania.

But, thankfully, one day before the post office would put the package on super-high-alert-track-down mode (yeah, I made that up, but they did say I couldn't complain until day 14... ), the package arrived in Peggy's car today. Seriously. Her mailperson is a little odd and leaves packages in their unlocked cars instead of knocking on the door. Strange ... She said the box was a little worse for wear, crushed and smashed, so it's good I put the dress in another box inside the outer one. Thanks John for that suggestion that I rolled my eyes at but abided by.

So this weekend we have three wedding-related goals:

1. Pick the music for the Mass.
2. Pick the readings for the Mass.
3. Pick out some songs for the reception

There's other stuff to do, but these are the high-priority items.

With celebrating my Dad's birthday (it was yesterday but the party is tomorrow) and Mother's Day with John's family and with my Mom, the weekend is already looking tightly packed. But, there are only 50 days left, so we need to be getting stuff done! There are already 46 people coming to this wedding, so we can't disappoint them with bad music and readings!
