Whew! Working and planning your wedding at the same time is a total stretch for me! It's a good thing I'm off after tomorrow. I'll be able to focus on the details - but it looks like things are coming together so well, I might join the family for a trip up to Apple Hill on Thursday. I have high hopes for that as it would be awesome to be able to relax a bit the day before the Rehearsal.
We'll see.
With that said, I have a slough of things to blog about over at Weddingbee. Sadly, I have just not had time to upload my photos. The family is in town, so we've got chaos at the Pom Casa. Poor baby Sterling is having issues with being left outside all day - but he'll get to hang with his cousin Bronson all week long during our Honeymoon, which I know will make up for it all.
Today FH is on an adventure with my brother-in-law, youngest sister-in-law and Sterling. They're panning for gold - FH's newest obsession. I hope it relieves some of his pending doom stresses.
I'm hoping to blog once a day this week - for memorie's sake, but I'm not making any promises. ;)

WEDDING WEEK: MONDAY

THE FINAL STRETCH.
Well, it's HERE! The 10-day stretch has finally come.
I'm surprisingly not-that-stressed-out. I just have a tidbit of anxiety that makes me constantly want to work on wedding shiz, even when I'm at work and can't. I have a constant To Do List running throughout my brain - and honestly, I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that once the whole she-bang is over!
There's a lot to do. I mean, the majority of it has been planned - but I need to pack and organize, organize, organize! I'm currently working on a Family and Friends-friendly document that will contain a toned-down timeline and lots of good info for everyone. I'm also working on finishing up the programs, menus, signage and getting everything packed up.
Family is arriving this weekend - and I can't wait to see them! I'm really hoping to get the majority of the stuff done so I can just relax and enjoy their company. It's been such a long time since we've seen them all. The reality of the situation is that I'll probably be rather busy - but we can all hope can't we?
Lastly, I'm just hoping that the Weather Fairy brings us a nice clear day. While I don't mind a few clouds (the clouds are SOOOO pretty in Esparto), I don't want to have to spend another dime on stuff like tents and whatnot. So preeeetty please, Weather Fairy - keep it dry, mmkay?
I'll try to keep posting here as much as I can - I've been lax as of late - but you can always find me under the alias of Miss Pomegranate over at Weddingbee!

AHOY ME MATEY!
Soooo since today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day - does that mean that I can ask invited guests, who refuse to RSVP or chose to do so at the last minute, to walk the plank?
Let's just say that this lack of attention to etiquette shivers me timbers! Hehe.

I FINALLY TRIED IT!
So. I've lost some of my motivation to write blogs (along with my motivation to create, perhaps) and so I apologize for being so uncharacteristically quiet.
I'll have lots of updates for you - in fact, for those of you who want a sneak peek at my dress as it's being made, well, there it is. I also have been a HUUUUGE slacker on the tag front. I was tagged by the oh-so-awesome Cathleya (AKA Mrs. Pengy on WB) and I have to share with you 6 random facts. Although, I'll be honest with you and say that these facts will not be included in this particular post (though I have been pondering them) - so that's another thing to look forward to!
What I do have to share with you, is that I've recently tried out this whole Endless.com fad. You know, the place that offers free Overnight Shipping. That's right, FREE! This also includes free returns as well - which I might just be taking advantage of.
See, I really thought that my $18 dress from JCrew (yup, I ended up getting it for THAT CHEAP) would pair nicely with some gold gladiator flats (now that FH has absolved his loathing of the color). However, I wasn't willing to pay $60+ for a pair of gold shoes that I would wear only so often. Not having much time to be shopping these days, I turned to my friend The Trusty Internets and paired up with Endless to purchase the shoes shown below.
First off, I'd like to say that I LOVE that Endless integrates seamlessly with Amazon - down to the shipping address. It made for an easy account setup for me. It's well-organized, which you know I love - but I'm not so sure about the veritable countdown clock at the top of the page that's basically screaming in your ear, "DID YOU FIND THEM YET? DID YOU FIND THEM? HURRY! HURRY! OR YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 24 HOURS TO GET THEM IN YOUR HOT LITTLE HANDS!!" Yeah, I do not need that kind of pressure when shopping.
The shoes were cute, but I'm still not sure about gold metallic anything. Bronze, yes - but gold is a tad flashy. If I were amazonian and bronzed myself - they might not be so bold. Alas, I am not. So we'll see - I may have to take advantage of that free return shipping, which I might add, is pretty sweet!
Have you shopped at Endless before?
