Don't look a gift pizza in the mouth....

I was heading for the kitchen to start making dinner when the doorbell ring. Alex looked at me and said, "Are we expecting company?" I think he was suspicious that I'd invited my sister over without telling him like the other week. I said, "No!" and walked downstairs, curious about who was at the door.

I opened the door and there stood a pizza delivery guy. He smiled and started to take a pizza out of the large red insulated bag that he was holding. "But we didn't order any pizza!" I said. "But it's already paid for!" he said. Moral dilemma. Do I claim the pizza as my own? Pizza is good. No dishes to clean. Can't do that. He looked confused, so I went on, "Well, what's the address?" He looked at his slip of paper. "2007... Oh, this might be another address..." He looked embarrassed as he put the pizza back in his bag. I told him "Good Luck" as I shut the door.

I was back upstairs for about 15 minutes, gathering my materials to make dinner and slightly regretting not claiming the pizza when the doorbell rang again. I sent Alex down this time. The Pizza guy told Alex that he called his boss who called the number and they verified the address. Since the pizza was already paid for, his boss told him to just give us the pizza. The pizza guy and his boss apparently thought that someone had ordered us a small pizza and a salad. Alex took the pizza, though he knew that we likely didn't have a mysterious pizza benefactor.

So we had pizza for dinner. Half sausage, half cheese - which is just the way we would have ordered it. And salad - really, really good salad with fresh feta cheese on top. Alex joked around that perhaps the pizza was poisoned and it was all an elaborate plot to kill us. We discovered, though, that we were not the lucky recipients of free pizza - it was all just a mistake by the pizza guy. When we shut the pizza box to clean up, we noticed that on the top of the box itself was Central Parkway. It's funny how Eastern and Central don't sound or look alike. I'm not sure how the pizza guys got it so wrong - and I hope the folks at 2007 Central Parkway ended up getting compensated. But we sure did enjoy their pizza!

Big Wheel Keep on Turnin'

I made a checklist last night of all of the broad-scope tasks that I had to do for the wedding - so it didn't include all the details like "assemble favors" or "pack for wedding night" or "pack for honeymoon", etc. So, what I'm getting at is there are a lot of things to do that I didn't put on the to-do list yet... and I'm already at 30 items. And 38 days left. But today's almost over, so it's really like 37 days.

So... Wow. It's really picking up steam! Luckily, I'm really super excited about all of it so I'm happy to delve right in. Tonight is "I-Do Tuesday" on Style Network, so I'll be in front of the TV watching "iPropose" and "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?" while I'm finishing up mock-ups for wedding day paper items and figuring out my final order to be placed ASAP from Paper Source.

So True...

39 days and counting!

And now the time begins where I go completely insane. I think we all knew that this was coming, so we should all be prepared.

I never understood why people said that Wedding Planning is “so stressful” and why people would treat me like I must be stressed out all the time and beyond busy. I still don’t yet feel incredibly stressed or beyond busy, but I have a feeling that that’s coming. I’m beginning to be incapable of thinking of anything beyond our wedding. I’m consumed with thoughts of favors, programs, decorations, accessories, etc. I’m thankful that my job necessitates my being on the phone with clients for hours at a time because it forces me to focus beyond my own little world and function like a complete human being – at least for those 2-hour chunks.

But after I hang up the line and put my notes in, it’s becoming exceedingly difficult to move on to the next task on my list without popping out to WeddingBee or The Knot or Brides.com or Wedding Channel for a quick “wedding fix”. I just have to see what new ideas other brides are coming up with for decorations and favors. Or I really need to look right now at different hairstyle options that are out there. I am insane.

Luckily, we've got a new guy starting at work today and I'm going to be training him, so starting this afternoon I'll have someone at my desk with me pretty much all the time. That should keep me on task at work. I'm actually pretty well caught up (KNOCK ON WOOD!!) and we're coming into the really, really busy season (great time to plan a wedding/honeymoon) so it's super-important that I remain on top of everything.

I can't believe that we're under 40 days!! Yay!! SO much still to do but it's SO exciting!!!!!!!!!! :D
