Undone

I know, i seem to be on a crazy “Everything i eat sleep and breathe is Wedding/Scott!” thing in my posts– but honestly, it is. If you’re sickened– I suggest not reading (watches as her counter stops going up….) i’m planning a wedding. I’m going to be smooshie to get me through the blasted stress.

and dang it– I enjoy being smooshie. And I have Bridesmaids patterns, so there.

The skirt:

is pretty much decided on. You really get no imput. Sorry. It’s a very nice skirt though. If you want to see a better picture of it, go to http://www.kwiksew.com/ and look at the patterns, enter in 3108 as the pattern number, and you can read more about it. We’re going with style B. That’s what i wear, and I love it. Comfortable skirt. This skirt convinced me that it’s not so bad being a girl. *waves her hands around like a loon* I attribute it to my cuteness. Or at least part of it. This is the pattern of skirt i almost always wear. They’re comfy and can be re-worn. I’m looking to make it in the stylish black. Light fabric, possibly patterned.

Now, picking a top is harder. I wanted some Bridesmaid-y imput (and Maid of honor, she’ll be stuck in one of these too!) I want you guys to be comfortable. 😉 As much as possible.

Number one is a blue top.

I want the top to be pretty free flowing– that way it can sort of match what i’m wearing. Open sleeves, very comfortable. and airy, since it’s going to be June, you’ll be greatful– unless you’re cold blooded. I don’t remember where I found this one. I have all the patterns written down, just ask and I’m sure I can track it down. 😀

Same thing with number two Fairly free flowing.

Billowy sleeves. Also, I realize that some of these patterns dip fairly low (dang fashion) but since we’re making them (we, meaning me and the mouse in my pocket— and whoever else is willing to help. More than likely my mom) can adjust things like that. Huzzah for us! I was thinking the top would be red– depending on what the bottom of the Skirt had as a pattern.

A little different.

More Bohemian. I like it. Tell me what you think.

Swag Top.

That’s sorta the kind I wore for my bro and sister-in-law’s wedding. Swag. It has it’s downsides, I’ll admit. But it keeps the breeze going.

The original

This is the one i fell in love with first. (using the term lightly, because I couldn’t possibly love this shirt as much as I love Scott…. :D) it’s got the free flowing sleeves (again) and the material is light and open.

Okay. That’s all I have right now. I’m a little tired. I need to go work on the sewing machine with my mom, and see if we can get it put back together. Dang monkey head. Fell apart.

Derringer Meryl [COMMENT!!] Out

*sighs* I went to school today. I got a new assignment from class (wahoo) it’s due in april, so I need to get that done. Then I need to read my two books for class (Blah and blah-er) and write two more papers for my psychology class. (I should be doing that paper soon, so i don’t get swept up in the busy-ness of wedding prep.)

It’s been just over a week since Scott and I made it officially unofficial (I don’t have a ring yet, but we’re still getting married 🙂 June Ninth) We introduce each other as our fiance (if you read in the comments that’s what he posts as.) I love being engaged to Scott. I love Scott. It’s mind boggling how fast this all worked…. *sighs* The wedding planning is getting stressful. It seems like my brain is taking in a lot of excess stuff that doesn’t need to be there. Maybe that’s just me. Maybe I’m just one more ADD Bride who feels like there are two million things that need planned and wedding planners (like day planners for weddings) only make the stress worse. I’m horrible at making choices. In fact, i don’t like to make them at all. that’s just me. I just– really don’t like decisions. I like input (I get a lot, I just space it out) and I like opinions and ….

I guess that’s the best part of getting married. Someone to rely on and help out. All of the wedding stuff I’ve been reading says “Make the groom be involved.” Scott’s more involved than me I think. 🙂 I think it’s cute. I always ask his opinion, because– well… Brides tend to get this thing going of “It’s my special day and I’m gonna do it the way I want!” Which is wrong. The whole fetching idea is wrong. While most of the time the groom is still elated that the bride actually said “I do” he doesn’t care what anything looks like. I’d have to say that for me and Scott, this is OUR day. I’m elated he loves me. He’s elated that I love him (to stick words in his mouth, hee) and so, we want our day to be great.

I’m pretty much in happy giddy wonderful jubilant land. Even if my wedding cake is falling apart, and the happy couple standing on top have devil horns and start chasing around the guests– I couldn’t be happier. Because I’ll be with Scott.

Derringer Meryl [All Sapped] Out

I must make this very short. I have classes and work tomorrow, but I thought I should update very quickly. I met some more of Scott’s friends tonight. They were very nice, and funny, people. We went to see Hidalgo and had some dinner. My favorite part of the night was snuggling with Scott at the movies. I guess you could call it snuggling. I don’t know. I do. *shrugs*

Can I say he makes the cutest pouty face? It really blows my pouty face out of the water, and mine is very impressive. Wins people over even over long distances– but his– is great. Not even five seconds I lasted. (realizes she sounds vaguely yiddish when she writes like that.) There was something different about Scott tonight though, I couldn’t really place it, but he looked super duper cute. I seriously tried to place it all night. All I can come up with is that he’s an irresistible guy. Which I’ve known since the moment I laid eyes on him… So i’m still wondering… what was so special about tonight?

Blah- I”ll have to think about it while i’m sleeping. Cause I can’t stay up anymore, I have CLASS! *kicks her class*

Derringer Meryl [I love him, I love him, I love him] Out

Work is slowly becoming more of a task each day. I used to LOVE going to work, and now, now i dread going because all anyone can focus on is how quickly I”m getting married and how little I know Scott. Monkey says he’s quiet. (I beg to differ, we talk alot, it’s just not around him.) One of Guts’ friends says I should wait a year. I told him to stuff it. The mouth played a quick game of “Call everyone who Meryl knows in the company and tell them she’s getting married” and …. i was just… tired.

it was like the whole night just drained me. Monkey came in and I practically screamed at him. Or at least It felt that way to me. I asked him if was going to join in on the game of “Rag on Meryl’s idea to get married.”

I am so drained every day when I work. I envy Scott. His workers are so happy for us. I wish mine were too. Guts is, and so is Gert. J-bob and Marco… Blah.

Derringer Meryl [Time To Eat] Out

*rubs her eyes awake* I am awake!! Quick run down of the weekend. I stayed over at Mandarin’s house and went to Church with Scott. I know there were fifteen billion other intricacies, but this is what happens when I don’t get to blog my immediate impressions. *sighs*

I met another couple of new friends of Scott’s. One married couple, and one not married girl. *rolls her eyes at herself* Another bad flaw of mine, immediate Jealousy. Blah. If it isn’t because all of these wonderful people got to know and grow up with Scott– it’s for other reasons. I’m not really willing to shed light on. It’s not hard to pop me back out of Jealous mode though, especially not with Scott. No Siree. I just look him in the eyes and think to myself “You’re gonna marry him. And you love him SOOOO much. He loves you too. Remember?” and then I do. Then I’m alright.

We played a few games. I seem to have caught a permanent chill though *is currently shaking like a leaf* which could be bad.I liked the games, and I’m sure I could get better at them over time. I’m not great at all the games I play, but normally I play. I refused double dash because they were playing in teams, and I have only played VS and so I didn’t want to screw any one up. They played Dance dance, which Scott and I sucked at together, *smiles*

The next day Scott and i went to his family’s ward. It was nice. I have to admit they all seemed much nicer than my ward. Not that my ward is bad, they just can be really aloof sometimes. After Church we went and had some lunch, which was good, because at that point i had been fasting for over 24 hours (fasting, not eating…. whatever. I swear I’m not anorexic, and if you could see me, you’d know that it was true.) so I was feeling pretty ill. I considered asking Scott to take me home early from Church, but after our first meeting he reminded me that we needed to go visit Shelly and Ty. So I was alright. I just sorta… ignored my body. We went and met his friends. And then we headed back out to my house, where we had a few pictures taken. Not all of them are the most flattering of me, but Scott looks pretty dang cute in all of them 🙂 Very foxy. We went down and walked around temple Square. Sat in front of the Christus for two and a half english sessions, one spanish, and two German. I think the first German one wasn’t loud enough, so they played it again. Heh. Anyway. I love sitting there. I’ve never been inside (the actual inside, waiting rooms don’t really count) the Salt Lake Temple, and only in the Jordan River Temple once. But the Christus is one of my favorite places to go. I hadn’t been in so long. *sighs*

we came back and watched A Walk to Remember and had additional commentary from Dax. I couldn’t really kick him out of the common space basement, especially since he was there first, and he was doing homework. So I just tried to deal with it. Like Scott says, we had a tickle fight, but I lost, just like he says. I blame it on poor muscle tone and small hands on my part. *nods, then shifty eyes* And maybe I wanted to lose, that’s up to you to figure out. 😀

Anyway, i have schoolage, and what not. I’m exhausted from the weekend, so I’m going to go catch up on a few more z’s. 🙂
