Loco Lucy
I'm a wreck. Atwitter, aflutter---assuming it's possible to do both at the same time. I've also had an ugly vanity relapse which I think is probably poetic justice for making disparaging remarks about self-centered, humorless, grumpy old men. (And yes to all of you who reminded how self-centered, humorless and irritable many old ladies are. I think I agree with Terri---old men may be more gracious in death than spoiled and fearful old women.)
But let's talk about me. My current nervous condition is all due to Ben and Teresa's wedding this weekend. I'm the only one doing any worrying around this house and I'm sick of it! I mean, there's laid back and there's laid back. My kids are so laid back they can only see the sky. Thank goodness Teresa's family knows how to fret productively. I simply can't do it all myself!
In addition this vanity thing is getting out of hand. Hair, nails, clothes and jewlery. Make-up, gifts and shoes. It's all I think about. Doctor, dentist and podiatrist. I've seen 'em all in preparation for the big event. Carole feel proud of herself because she may have found a "fabulous vintage dress" at the thrift store. AAACCCKKKK!! Thankfully all Jack has to worry about is picking up his tux---and Ben will probably end up doing that.
I know I've written about this kind of thing before but I really must vent. At least YOU'll listen! I appreciate that.
BTW, and not that it's any great loss, I won't be posting or commenting until after the wedding. I can't sit still long enough to do it. But I'll be back soon with pictures. Maybe even some of the wedding.

Deep breaths, Lucy, deep breaths. Now slow your breathing down, start relaxing your toes and relax your legs, your stomach, your shoulders, your neck, now relax all the muscles in your face.
There see don't you feel better all ready?
You have a wonderful time at the wedding. You are going to be beautiful and the belle of the ball. Just watch out for those Norweigen bachelor farmers! Oops, bet this isn't a Minnesota wedding. Well watch out for them anyway, they migrate.

It sounds like you've covered all the bases-- what's left to worry about? I'm sure you'll look fabulous!
Have a great time!

Only you could make worrying be so funny and cute! You're gonna be the life of the party, no doubt... and the bride and groom will be grateful to you for it!

Thanks a ton y'all. But Junie Rose I can't find you. I had your URL last week. But give me a break. It's THIS week now. Somebody help.

Just take a big dip of Skoal and pour yourself a BIG mug of jumpstart and tell yourself you have earned this nervous breakdown..you have a right to it and you will spit tobacco juice on anybody that tries to stop you. Worked for me this morning.

I understand your pre-wedding jitters. My son is getting married this October and I am already a nervous wreck about it all. I can not even imagine the shape I will be in the week before the actual event.
Have a wonderful time and party hardy. :-)

Oh dear Lord...you need to think about NOTHING ELSE....but that you will have a wonderful time at this wedding Lucy....NOTHING. You will look wonderful, you will fell wonderul, you will be wonderful. And if you don't believe me....then you need to sit down and have a drink....and just relax. AND, I DON'T EVEN DRINK. Don't worry about another thing...it's just not worth it...and you can't afford to do that. Promise?

Now Lucy, you make worrying so funny when you tell your stories that I tend to forget you ARE worried. You shouldn't worry about a thing! You'll be the life of the party and everything will go according to ... nonplan ;)
As for Junie Rose url, would that be it?

Oh poor, Lucy...I'm chuckling and you're stressing out.
You need to make yourself a nice cup of herbal tea, soft music, take those deep breaths Maria recommended and just....sit back and enjoy the upcoming festivities.
Once you get rid of the worry, you'll find yourself being that belle of the ball we all know you'll be.
Have a great time, but I'll miss your posts. So hurry back....with photos. Congrats and best wishes to the Bride and Groom.

Lucy
Worry on!!! Now!!
Then when the big day arrives you will be all worried out. Worry is just a type of preplanning or play acting out all the what ifs.
I have always been a worrier and am none the worse for it.
Here--have a mug of hot chocolate and a plate full of sugar HUGS.

Dear Lucy,
I don't think you worry too much, I think you CARE to much about all those near and dear to you. But I know in the end it will all come together, those things usually do, and you will have a great time. If one small thing is amiss, that small thing may be what will etch this event into a unforgettable moment of laughter and good humor for all time.

LOL, LOL...Oh Lucy...Just "Chill Out" honey (I know I know, easy for me to say...!)I have GREAT Faith that you are going to look smashing, my dear....But see, I think you are enjoying "fretting"..and that's cool! So just keep on doing that dear Lucy and before you know it, the Wedding will be over! (lol)
ENJOY, my dear Lucy...! Look forward to seeing any pictures you will post!

You need to take a bath in Valium. Just relax and BREATHE. That's it...
I knew this really laid back lady years ago who had five kids. She was oblivious to their antics most of the time.
I wanted to ring her kids' necks! Too laid back is simply a crime!!
It's the worriers who get things done and in an organized fashion. The ultra-laid back people let the world go to hell in a hand basket all around them.
Stay on top of things, dear Lucy, but make sure you soak in a tub of Valium the night before the wedding.
That way you won't punch any one for running late or messing up the schedule.
Enjoy the wedding!!!!
