Planning a Wedding Will Rule Your Life

I just wanted to update on my last post, but first, I just have to say that planning a wedding is really for those who are professional organizers and accustomed to a 100mph life. I can't keep up with my normal schedule on top of all the things that need to be done. When I distribute the work load I feel like I spend just as much time checking up on those with jobs to be sure they're doing the work and doing it the way I want. This must be what it's like to be a manager, thus proving why I don't want to be a manager and why I am willingly doing all the work.

Back to the purpose of my post. On August 1st I said the I should make it a goal to go somewhere new each month, because I discovered how little I know, cultureally, about where I was born and raised compared to those who just moved here. Since then I have done the following:

• I went to Coco Sala in DC for brunch with some coworkers. They sent me a text message at 10:30pm the night before and I didn't see it until 8am the next day. Normally I would decline to such a short notice and distant endevour. However, that morning I was going to be by myself and told myself "just do it damnit!!"
• Guido and I went mountain biking, we've done it before, but this time we went on a different trail! Too bad it ended with a broken bike chain in the middle of the woods, six miles from the car...
  
• I want to Hearshy Park in Pennsylvania, I've never been! I wasn't in the cool kids choir that got to go in middle school, so finally I took my chance to go 14 years later...
• Guido surprised me with tickets to go see Lewis Black at the Warner theater! It was even a Thursday night show, and we're so not school night partyers.

A few other opportunites have presented themselves in the course of the last 2.5 months, however I've had to turn them down due to wedding planning. I'll be so glad when this is all over and I can think about something else!
