March. The one month with an identity crisis.

Honestly March, are you winter or are you spring? Can’t you make up your mind?

And this March has been a doozie. At least for me. Went into the doctor Feb 25th and had a sinus infection. Got a major cold (or was it more sinus infection?) Stayed home 2.5 days from work the first week in March. Last week in March, went back and found out from my dr that I never got over the heinous sinus infection. And in between were three weeks of making invitations.

March. I dislike you. I broke my leg in March and a long time ago had a breakup in March. But Chris was born during this month. So I guess, March, that makes up for you.

So yes, you heard me right before. The invitations took 3 weeks to create. There are several pieces to our invite. Most of which we created ourselves, even the envelope. Pocketfold shell, belly band with vellum cut out castle, rsvp card, wallet photo, map and the gold card with the wording on it. Ouch that’s a helluva lot of work. They are pretty cool if I say so myself. On the day of my worst sinus pressure/headache/torture we sent them off. And two days later I got this text: Hey Beautiful, What you send me in the mail? Your cute envelope was sadly opened on 3 sides w/ nothing inside. In my head all I could hear was screeching and wailing and maybe Wash the Pilot saying “Oh God Oh God we’re all gonna die” Then the bawling started. And I did and did. I’m guessing it probably helped my pressure filled sinuses in some fashion too. But it didn’t make me feel any better. I imagined all the envelopes I made falling apart in the mail. I thought about reinforcing the edges. I did. I really really did.

So I emailed people, Chris called friends and some got theirs. So far about 3 have gotten either only an envelope, an invite and envelope separated from eachother or invites with faulty envelope edges. A lot of others thankfully got whole intact wonderful impactful invites begging to be RSVP-ed upon.

Well anyway in more news I quit Fashion Bug in March. I needed the time to move, work on wedding stuff and I’ll be working longer hours at Coke for half the month (or more). Irene is going on vacation to visit her son (yay for her!) but that means I get to dispatch. And for two glorious hours a day I get to do my job. Um yay? Just the parts I can’t do back at her desk. Which is a lot. As for leaving Fashion Bug it was needed. It was time. I just need more of that, time. Funny how it speeds up doesn’t it? Although now it is April, two months til Chris and I say “I do”. Only two months. That’s it. Um, good luck to me, I think I’ll need it.

Now its early April, I've been dispatching all week and going nuts. Its not hard its just tedious and I get bored. I can do some of my job at her desk but not all. I get away to my desk thankfully for a couple of hours each day. And I've finally started feeling good enough to walk in the mornings for ten minutes. I've been craving red meat so I'm sure my body is missing iron. I rarely have red meat, its mostly chicken or turkey. So I've had red meat two days in a row with leftovers for two lunches. I hope thats enough to get me back in the game! :-D
Well, other than that we are working on the slideshow, signs, various little projects. Just waiting for the timely stuff in May. Alot of things are time sensitive and now is not the time. The time now is packing and moving. Oh boy. Fun!
