    I have been staring at spreadsheets for FAR too long today!!! I've updated the same spreadhseet five times now... as circumstances keep changing at work.  We've let two people go today, we have someone leaving a week early for maternity leave, etc.  Not only that... but other people at work seem to be unable to do their own job and I have to make up for it and still do mine.  It's not working out well today and I'm getting frustrated!

    I need a Wedding Bee Break!!!

    I spend too many hours each day staring at spreadsheets....I think this is why I have largely avoided using them for wedding planning :)

    Yes... less than two hours till my weekend!  Tonight I'm having shopping night with my mom, tomorrow is the big KU/MU game, and my SO and I are going to the car show in town, then Sunday I have plans with my mom and aunts.

    thank goodness!!

    @Girlwitharing- If spreadsheets become required for my wedding planning... I'm making SO do it.  I will NOT!

    Haha, awwww...my spreadsheets have been invaluable in wedding planning, but I'm a photographer so most of my time staring at the computer (for hours and hours) are related to photo-editing.  If I had to do any photo-editing for my wedding, I would be nutso.

    Sounds like a super fun weekend!  Girl time, and a car show! Fun!

    Having worked in finance, I cannot imagine tackling a wedding any other way than spreadsheets. I love them.

    I priced out all of our potential venues on one and compared them side by side-so much easier for FI to follow along with.

    I'm sure I'll end up using a spreadsheet once I'm engaged and planning.  The thought of it after today though makes me wanna pull my hair out. I'll probably be over it by then.  HAHA
