NOT MUCH GOING ON

Or I guess I should start by saying Happy New Year. But really, why is that the first thing that people say to each other on this day? Why do people assume that others are happy? Maybe it's not really assuming that others are happy, but still, I guess I just don't want to be all enthusiastic about a new year when I know people that are having anything but a happy new year. And so to go up to them and say Happy New Year seems incredibly cruel. That doesn't mean that I don't want this year to be happy. I truly think that this'll be one of the greatest years of my life. It's starting at a good place, I'm still at home, and that's a wonderful place to be. I have to leave tomorrow though and that's a bummer. But I'm getting married in 5 months and that's great news! Holy, I can't believe that it's now 5 months away. I've been engaged for less than 3 months, but I've been counting down to my wedding since last January. So you can imagine my excitement over the fact that there's only 5 more months. But back to the title, not much is going on today. I watched the Parade of Roses this morning because it's tradition and you gotta keep tradition. And I just finished copying out a bunch of addresses for the wedding invitations. And now Steve is coming over. All in all, a pretty lazy day so far. Just like the last few. But I'm happy for that. Now that the rush to find material for the bridesmaid dresses is over, I'm quite content to do absolutely nothing. Whoever would have thought that it would be so stinking difficult to find a nice shade of green? Over the past week I have learnt one thing: all nice material comes in blue, pink or purple. Lovely shades of it too, but when you have your heart set on green, those other three colors become the thorn in your side. That's ok though, we finally found material that's almost what I had in mind and it's really pretty. And the girls will look pretty in it, and that's all that matters. But it makes me thankful that we didn't go looking to make my wedding dress. Thankfully we ordered that one! And yes, laziness is golden for now. All too soon school will start again and then who knows when I'll be able to be this lazy again.
