Exhaustion!

My knitting has pretty much gone by the wayside, although I did have to completely unravel a sweater that was about 40% done that was supposed to go to M. I did it on circulars and somehow it got horribly twisted, I took it off circulars and put it on dpns to see if I could find exactly where and what went wrong but I unraveled the whole damn thing and couldn't see what happened. I could see dpn knitting getting twisted, but circs? So that's now neatly rolled into balls waiting until god knows when.

We're in full wedding mode now with less than two weeks to go! We met with the coordinator one last time this Saturday and became extremely frightened when we had to reintroduce ourselves after recieving a blank stare from her. She had no idea who we were! Then she kept getting the ceremony details wrong, thinking we're using chairs for the ceremony, that the ceremony is in front of the mantle and wondering about the details of the bridal party even though we've discussed many times that there is no bridal party! I just thank god that M will be there a few hours early on Saturday so he can intervene if things go awry. I almost lost it when she told me that there is no way they can remove all of the furniture from the ceremony room, they apparently just stack the tables on the walls of the room. I said no way, find somewhere to put it! It's an Inn, stick it in a spare room...I don't care what you do with it but that would look hideous having random tables stacked against the wall. In the end, the head waiter who will be in charge of setting up the rooms said they do it all the time...once again she doesn't know what she's talking about.

We spent most of Saturday looking for glass to surround the candles, our open flames are a fire hazard. I was sure we wouldn't find anything and we had spent so much time finding the wood candle trays too. But alas, after going to Michaels, A.C.Moore, Pier 1, and Linens N Things coming up short, M saw exactly what we needed on the way out of LNT. And they were on sale. So far our centerpieces have cost $130 for four tables. More than I thought we would spend, especially since they aren't floral arrangements!

It's also mid semester so things are just really crazy right now. Luckily, both of my groups actually work well so that's not an added stressor, just tryign to get everything done and meet the deadlines on top of trying to work ahead for the week we'll be on the Cape and missing class and not connected to my computer.
