gingerkitten:  Well I’m having a super small wedding where nobody actually needs an invite, but I did in fact buy invitations so mailing them out before the wedding would make it so I didn’t waste my money…it’s on my list. Heh!

Things I need to do ASAP:

Mail out invitations

Pick a cake

Buy some kind of decor (so far I have a tablecloth, 3 candle sticks and a semi-thought out plan)

Oh yeah, before I mail out invites I might want to decide what time we’re getting married)

Get the marriage license

Before that, find my birth certificate, marriage certificate and divorce decree…

Find two of my children something decent to wear to my wedding

Set aside money to pay the officiant, pay for the food (which I’m cooking) and alcohol

Other than that I’m right on schedule.

gingerkitten:  Also just realized, I still have to repaint my livingroom before the wedding cause we’re getting married in it. Dammit Batman!

• jadlnc

gingerkitten:  Ugh, it really needs it. We had an issue about a month ago. Our furnace had a tantrum and started putting out soot, the chimney stack runs right up the livingroom wall and we have lathe and plaster. So basically everything needs to be repainted cause it all looks really dirty. And now I’m wondering if I’ll have to wash the walls first to avoid smearing soot with paint. Son-of-a-bitch. No time for this stuff! lol.
