I realize that Sunday is not the best of days to post but it seems that I have less and less time to do it.
Somehow the wedding is all coming together now that I am leaving a lot for other adults to sort out for themselves and their children who are some of my attendants.
My own dress is coming along like a dream, I have a wonderful dressmaker and I am becoming increasingly more confident that she will have the dress finished well ahead of time.
It's just three weeks to the wedding and I am still losing weight, so Andrew is bringing over some takeaway later to fatten me up.
I shall have a good sleep before he comes and then we should be able to relax and enjoy our rare snatch of time together.
I don't really think there'll be another post before the marriage and the Honeymoon, I am just simply running out of time.
Andrew is displaying his dominance and I am all too happy to go along with it right now, my energy levels are very low whereas his are thriving.
He says the day cannot come fast enough for him.
I guess he thinks he's waited long enough whereas sex is the last thing on my mind right now.
But I am so glad that I am having a traditional wedding in a Church followed by a big reception.
Everyone keeps on telling me how lucky I am and I can only agree with that.
Incidentally, I am wondering what sort of wedding my readers had, or if they are not yet ready what sort of wedding they would like to have.
It would be really interesting to know, there is so much I could write about at present but really there is just so little time.
I really am going to have to watch that my weight comes back up again or else this beautiful wedding gown just will not fit and that simply would not do, would it?

Well the engagement party was a roaring success as are all mother's parties and dad is always good at getting the jokes flowing and Andrew and I certainly bore the brunt of those.
And you've guessed it, everyone thought we already had everything we could possibly want so many of the gifts carried with them a humorous flair, from a garden shovel, accompanied by great mirth and speculation as to who of the two of us would be doing any gardening to some barbecue tools.
We were forced to bear it all good naturedly and really it was quite funny.
And they were right, we really did not need presents or even money and the wedding gifts were going to be an even greater problem.
I did receive quite a few novel items for the kitchen and really had to laugh when they gave Tinkerbelle a new fancy bowl, and is that Andrew and I there do you think?
But the food was delicious, the music great and really I think a good time was had by all.
So that is just one more step along the way to our fast galloping up wedding day, and although I am looking forward to it and things have now started to progress well may I urge all the rest of you to take things a little more slowly, as rushing things is really very stressful indeed.
I can understand why couples just run off to Gretna Green.
But, again, I pose the question, just what do you give for presents to people who appear to have everything?

The engagement party is next weekend, and it's already created problems, but mum is taking care of all of that and she handles things with the flair of a diplomat.
Unlike myself, but with everything that is going on and wedding plans for October, everything is happening at a greater pace than I can handle. I've given up my ballet classes and that is rather sad but with work commitments and all the 'goings on', something had to give.
There is no worry that I'll put on weight, I'm already losing some and I shall need to watch that.
On the way home I picked up a Pizza which was delicious but two slices is more than enough for me, I also got some flowers which always brighten me up.
I've put the Pizza in the frig and I'm sure Andrew will gobble it up next time he is here, which will probably be to-morrow night.
I've been playing with my Crystals which always help and Tinkerbelle is currently sitting on my lap and for once is behaving herself.
I've decided that I need some nice pictures for the walls but I'm already realizing that soon this will be 'our' house rather than my house and a man will bring his own impact.
My days of single bliss are all but over and I have finally begun to realize that, but as this house becomes our house so will all of Andrew's assets become our assets, including the farm and we've arranged that well, and just as well Andrew is in Finance, I'm getting rather tired of work and I don't think it will be long before I give it up, that will relieve a considerable amount of stress.
After I have finished this post I'm going to cuddle the cat and expect she'll go to sleep on my lap. I've decided to get myself some mediation tapes, too.
So, it's crystals and cat and flowers and relax, relax, relax. I shall play some classical music and may even watch a ballet video which should lift my energy levels, plus I've got a lovely fruit salad to eat later. I shall not be watching any TV as that just seems to push the stress under the carpet.
I found this funny cartoon on the internet and removing one's head does seem a good idea for relaxing, but a little unrealistic don't you think.
I've probably asked you before and I'll ask you again, "how do you chill out?" and I just know that drinkies will feature largely in your responses but I don't need to start the day with a headache to-morrow, it'll be a tough enough day at work, without that.
