Top Reasons Why I'm Not a Planner

Plans for this past weekend were:
  • Begin looking for wedding/bridesmaid dresses while my sister is still in town. Look, but not buy.
  • Take Chris out on a date.
  • Sleep in on Saturday for the first time in weeks.
  • Narrow down house-hunting to 3 top houses, make final walkthroughs, decide on a house.
  • Meet with member at church to begin getting ideas for wedding cake.

What did happen this weekend:

  • Found dress. Bought dress. AND unnecessary accessories.
  • Took Chris on date. Chris had major gum pain and nausea. Chris was in bathroom 25% of time on date.
  • Got home from date. Chris's face is swollen. Take Chris to ER. Sit in ER till 5am to be given low dose of pain meds.
  • Chris can't keep pain meds down. Face gets worse. Pain is unbearable. Call dentists we don't know and beg for help on Saturday.
  • Drive like a mad woman to dentist in Raleigh, an hour drive away. Get pulled over in the first 5 minutes of the journey. Cry. Continue on with mad dash to Raleigh.
  • Chris has an abscess tooth. Dentist says ER doctor could have worsened the situation. Hate ER doctor. Chris starts to feel relief.
  • Get back to Fayetteville at 4:30. Have to babysit at 5:30. Chris stays home and sleeps. Babysit until 1am. Get in bed at 2am.
  • Get up first at 7am. Realize it's not really gonna happen. Reset alarm for 9am. Go to Bible class. Make mad dash to Raleigh to meet realtor by 12:30. Spend 5 hours looking through 3 houses. Chris and I choose different houses.
  • Mad dash back to Fayetteville. Miss small group Bible study. Meet with church member and design wedding cake.
  • Return to house. Surf possible outdoor wedding spots and honeymoon destinations online. Pass out at 11pm.

Today, we HOPE to accomplish:

  • Chris returns to dentist for follow-up work. Pain is much less. Left side of face is still swollen.
  • Set up joint banking account.
  • Discuss 3 houses and make plan of attack.
  • Get letter from lender.
  • Call/visit possible locations for wedding.
  • Double date with Josh and Brianna.
  • Retire to bed early.

I need a day off.
