You know you're crazy when...

1. You start making lists. And spreadsheets. Tons of spreadsheets. For some reason, I've decided that the key to solving my utter lack of preparation is to make more and more spreadsheets. Now, I have a spreadsheet full of guest names. Very few addresses, because that would make it way too easy. I also have one for rental items, ceremony items, a newsletter, and things to put on the invitations. Oh yes, that's right. Our invitations aren't yet made. I'm designing them though. Well, mostly Colorquick Printing is designing them. They're seriously amazing! I was freaked out that nobody would be able to do what I wanted. I called people after people and they talked to me like I was crazy. A playing card invitation? What does that mean? I was quoted about $450 to make 200 cards. Then, I went to colorquick and they were all like "yeah, we can do that" and they were awesome! For under $250 for 250 cards. Yay! Including envelopes and inserts. I love them. Go here! Only if you need printing done. I digress.
   So, my obsession with lists has boiled over into my work life, where I made my boss a giant excel spreadsheet of all his mail. He said "Hum" at first. Then, I pushed the issue and he told me flat out that he would never look at my awesome spreadsheet. So, that hour and a half was totally wasted. Yay.

2. You realize there's only 45 days until your wedding and you've lost your passport.

3. You talk to yourself loudly. About dress styles, veils, and tiaras. Even though you never cared before. I need shoes. I just realized. I need shoes. Curses! Red shoes.
I have to go now. To find shoes. Or play the sims. Whichever.

So far, I have:

I also have some awesome people helping me and a wonderful groom, so those are definite assets.
