I'm a Lazy Bum.

A. Okay, once again I suck at posting regularly. Life is just so much of the same right now that I really have nothing to post about and besides,
B. this ridiculous heat has made me extremely lethargic and I tend to come home and just lie on my couch watching stuff on Netflix after
C. my TEN HOUR workday. Yes. I now work 4x10s, at least for the remainder of the summer, and for some reason it has me completely whooped. However, it gives me Friday's off for cleaning unless I'm not home on Friday like this past weekend when I
D. drove up to Canton on Thursday to spend the weekend with Johnny because his aunt is literally in a coma on her deathbed. It's very reminiscent of my own mom's passing, everyone just sitting around, talking about old memories and just watching and waiting. So far they've been watching and waiting for almost a week and a half now.

This means that my apartment is a disaster, I'm tired, I admit I'm a bit lazy, and I'm seriously stressed. I'm just really good at hiding it.

One good thing that has happened lately is all the headway we're making with this whole wedding thing. Johnny and I finally hired a photographer, the invitations will be sent VERY soon, I'm in the middle of typing an address list for labels, I bought more fake flowers and a pair of shoes this past weekend, I've found a dress for the rehearsal I just need to buy it, I have my last fitting with my sister probably this weekend before my first of three bridal showers! Whoosh. That was a long sentence. There has also been an exciting development, but I won't share about that until all the details have been ironed out. :)

As I just said, my first shower is this weekend! Lately there have been all kinds of little things that have made this whole thing more and more real to me. In six and a half weeks I will become Mrs. Johnny Cross, move in with a man, eventually become a mother (not for a long while, though...) and it's all happening so quickly! Starting this weekend I have a shower every two weeks until the end of August, after which it is then only two weeks till the big day. There is still a lot to be done, I have to order flowers, figure decorations, budget for s'mores, find someone who will donate wood for the bonfire, get the invitations printed, labeled, stamped and sent, all of this not necessarily in that order. Then I get to handle the RSVP list and pray that only 150 of the 250 we're inviting respond! But in the meantime I sit here in my too warm apartment avoiding turning on the AC so I don't have an exorbitant electric bill and, I admit, putting off typing out addresses because it's just so much easier to be lazy!

I assume you've all heard The Lazy Song, by Bruno Mars? Most annoying song on the planet.

Ciao!
