Wii Sports is super, dooper fun still.

[wednes]

I spent the better part of last night playing Wii and then rereading the first 27 chapters of my serial killer novel, just to get a handle on where I am with it. Turns out, it's pretty fucking good. Later on tonight I hope to add another chapter. I just have to figure out where it's all going.
As for the Wii, my Wii age is currently 49; I think I can do a bit better than that. My tennis timing is very off. But my bowling skillz rock the house.

EDIT: it is down to 38. Woot!

Saw a pic of my handfasting besom today. In case you don't know, it's the broom we're going to jump over at the end of the ceremony. Someone at etsy put it together for me:


Nice, eh?

Some of those people at The Knot are crazy. Tonight I got badmouthed because I'm not having my hair and nails done by a professional. Apparently I'm going to look "slovenly." Then they laughed at my plan to just use curling shampoo the day before and hope for the best. I don't see any reason to not look like myself. I'm pretty cute in my natural state, after all...

I'm almost done with the wedding shopping. I just have a few more gifts to buy for people who are helping out. I love having an excuse and a budget to buy people gifts. And they are getting some fly stuff! Lots of jewelery and pretty things.

Finally went back for EMDR this last week. I'm feeling quite a bit better than I have been, except now I have a toothache. I think I've just been grinding my teeth again, I hope I don't have to go to the dentist because I can't freakin' afford it. In non-toothy news, I'm having EMDR again in two weeks, hopefully it will continue to be helpful. It better be, it's really hard work.

That besom is BEAUTIFUL! And its something you can hang in your home and always treasure :)

Matt and I had a handfasting and used 3 silken cords to have the minister tie our hands together. Anytime I look at them, I'm reminded of that moment and the bond that they represent, and I get a flood of wonderful memories and reminders of why it is I love this man so much. I really hope your besom can be like that for you, too!

And if you want to look like your normal cute self, by all means go for it! I thought about getting extensions for my hair for my wedding (on the theory that the bride really should have longer hair than the groom,) but then decided that part of the whole point of marriage is that we are taking each other as we are, right now, and as who we will be. Sure, I could have gotten all dolled up and look more beautiful for the ceremony than I would at any other point in my life, but Matt wasn't marrying that woman - he was marrying ME! And if my normal self is good enough for him, why on earth should I go out of my way and get all stressed out trying to look different just to impress his friends and relatives?

Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that ALL women should look at it the same way - some brides want all the extra frills to help make them feel even more special on that day, and if it makes them happy, then that's absolutely what they should do! But that's just not how I am. :)

*nods* yep yep. We've reserved a place above the door for our besom. The lady at etsy did a great job making it for us. We will also be bound together with cord (and with love, of course). I'm going to bead up some cord myself and make it nice and pretty.

Yeah...I think buying all new clothes is quite enough. I don't see the point of spending on a manicure, hair and professional makeup. If I can't put on my own makeups by the time I'm in my 30's...I probably shouldn't be wearing any. ;-]
