    Anyone have any suggestions? I've been reading a lot, sewing and I TRIED to learn to knit/crochet and that just isn't helping. Oh, and I SUCK at scrapbooking...I just really need something to get my mind off the wedding.

    You could try scrapbooking. It's very time consuming. Or yoga. It won't necessarily take your mind off of things, but I know that it was a big help for me when I was taking 8 classes and working part-time in high school. Gosh, I really need to get back into yoga now that I'm telling you this! Try crocheting or knitting a blanket. If you're planning on having kids eventually, you could make a baby blanket for them. It's about 30 hours of work normally.

    [Edit] I tend to skim posts and managed to miss the whole "no scrapbooking" thing. Sorry!

    Something outside! Go for a bike ride or a walk in the park. Get a dog to make you get out :)

    Plan a trip

    Learn to cook something new

    Sign up for a class with FI or a friend. We just did a cooking class that was fun, and my friend is doing a photography class, I think there's classes out there for any interest

    Go to the gym

    Catch up with people you haven't talked to in a while

    Shopping for non-wedding stuff, in person or online

    Plan a garden for this spring/summer!  It takes time and you might love it!

    Well, last night I made dinner (easy, but I went all out) tacos, homemade salsa and guacamole...mmmmm. Took a couple hours, but it was well worth it.

    We played the Wii for a couple hours since we bought it Friday. That was probably one of the best decisions we have made together...only because hubs thought I would really enjoy it. (I really do!) We got the Bass Pro Shops fishing game and I am now addicted. :) Now, as long as it doesn't take my brain over entirely and I actually get wedding stuff done too I'll be fine.

    lol Miss Lily - i said this to FI earlier while I was posting on someone's thread and his response was "well you could start by not going on the weddingbee!"

    i decided to watch a movie... too bad the movie ended up being the wedding planner

    LOL. Well, today hubs told me to stop caring about my SIL's new baby and how that's all I have heard about for the past couple of days. Very frustrating. I told him (selfishly) that I hope the novelty of the new baby has worn off by the time August (and our wedding) gets here because I have been feeling like our wedding isn't important to anyone but me.
