This morning, my friend Laura and I went for a nice, long chatty walk. Seven miles of chatty. And then I spent the next two hours trying really, really hard not to puke. As it turns out, going for long chatty walks with nothing but coffee in your belly is not on the top ten list of good ideas. The weather was just so nice and the catching up so blessedly therapeutic, I didn’t notice until we were about a mile from returning home that my insides were fuh-reaking out. I think maybe this newfangled substance they call water would have been called for. Lesson learned.
Lesson also learned is that three or four months of inactivity is pretty effing difficult to overcome over the course of one Saturday morning. Who knew. But if that woman who wondered out loud if I was trying to lose weight for the wedding yet thought I shoulda been on it months ago, she’s probably shaking her head in utter disgust at my bridal diet failures. Ah, well. That’s why you have a dress MADE. Then it always fits. No matter how much you love cheese.
Speaking of! Um, wedding dresses, not cheese: The shop in London has ordered my wedding dress fabric from India and it should arrive the third week in March – in plenty of time for the dress maker to work her magic. Done and done!
Also done and done are the wedding invitations which arrived and are so wonderful. And unique. Seriously, should you ever require her services (she did the banner for this blog, too!), Maura at Paper Guppy is so easy to work with and unbelievably nice.
And semi related – the inspection issues are resolved and signed back. Next step, appraisal! Good grief, I can’t wait until this is all settled. I am not really much of an ‘up in the air’ kind of gal.
In case you hadn’t noticed.
Didn’t mean to make you pukey! We’ll get our bodies back into walking (and hopefully running) shape soon enough!
Sounds like things are really looking up! So glad about the fabric for your dress, sounds like it will be awesome.
Awesome news on the inspection.. movin on movin on! Soon enough you’ll be decorating your home for real!
so this think positive kick is kickin in huh???
So glad that the material is ordered, and GREAT news on the inspection. Start working out your writing hand; because man signing the dotted line is more like signing on a bazillion dotted lines, but worth it.
See? Getting better…
Remember, breathe in deep.
Yay to all of these things except for the pukey part! I can’t wait to see your dress =)
Glad you found the right material! And that house thing came up fast. Grats on pending home ownership! It sounds like it was a hard-to-pass-up opportunity.
As a REALTOR, it’s nice to hear that the inspection wasn’t *that* bad… sometimes it’s more overwhelming than anything… Hello, largest-purchase-of-your-life!
