My brother’s wedding is upon us and I’ve hit that point in my procrastination process where I say to my self, “Holy crap! I’ve only got six days to get my self together.” I also ask ‘why do you always do this to your self’, but clearly there is no answer to that it’s just one of those great questions of the universe. The trigger for the questions was the onset of the list making…lots of list making. There’s a grocery list – all the items needed to produce an orange crunch cake, a carrot cake, and a devil’s food cake. There’s a cake list – things to frost and decorate the cakes (in Atlanta) as well as things to pack them in for safe travel and display them on the other end. A centerpiece list – thus far two bags of Mexican beach stones. A mom list – things she wants me to bring that she has trouble finding in her area. A stuff list – cameras, ipods, books, games, magazines (not that we’ll have time to get bored, but we like to be prepared). A suitcase list. And the infamous to-do list – including baking cakes, returning shoes, mom shopping, and dress making (you guess which thing I’ll end up letting slide). In the midst of all of this I’m trying to accumulate the supplies needed for D and my bead making class that starts the day after we get back, get the dog back to the vet, set up some ebay auctions and finish one swap. Sheesh, just looking at it all makes me want to go back to bed.
It hasn’t helped that Bro and wife are in Madagascar and not easily reachable for question answering. They return on Monday and I expect the line to talk to them will be quite long. I haven’t been a total bump, I’ve toyed with display ideas, and cake decorating ideas, it’s just that nothing is working out quite as I envisioned and each failure puts me back to square one…not to mention frustrates the bejeesus out of me. Lucky for me they are both pretty easy to please and there isn’t much pressure from their end to produce something fantabulous…of course that’s exactly what I want to produce, but that’s just how that goes.
Tonight I’m going to tackle the cake stand/display project and maybe start on the dress by making a muslin for the bodice to check fit. Tomorrow after work I’ll pack in all the errand running which will leave me the weekend for baking, sewing and all the things that must be done around the house before a trip. Anybody want to come stay in the house and feed the cats while we’re gone?
