Pre-Wedding Drama

Again, trying to stay on track with the blogging: so here it goes...

I had 2 showers this weekend (yes, 2 showers!) and got a lot of stuff. My fiance is starting to freak out because we do not have that much room in the apartment. He tells me, "where are we going to fit all this stuff?" and then I tell him, "just wait, I'll fix it".

Really, it's not like he cleans the apartment anyways.

It really is funny how we always talked about equally dividing household duties, etc., and I am still stuck playing house-wife most of the time while he is going to work.

We really want to move to another apartment complex in August, weeks before I start the new semester, and are starting to move the gears on that plan. But not before we call all of our vendors and update with them on costs and balances, final payment dates, and other miscellaneous questions - some of which were asked by the great, mighty and powerful in-laws.

They really are not great, mighty and powerful. Although I am sure they want to be. I have a large doubt in my mind that they will be anything close to useful the closer we get to the date. His mom just about had a heart-attack at the showers. Yes, the showers she had nothing to do with planning. Nothing. At all.

I am not joking with you.

She talks about how often she gets up at night because she has questions about the wedding. I tell her to write down her questions. I gave her a folder to keep her questions in and to keep articles and anything else she has that is related to the wedding. She has not asked me any of her burning questions yet and I am just about always available to answer her burning questions. But then again, no burning questions.

I told my fiance a long time ago about how this annoyed me. Do not tell me you have questions and then, when I make myself perfectly available to answer your questions do not ask them because they really do not exist. There are many instances in which they have just become a thorn in my side coming in and out at regular intervals.

Since I am very obviously stressing out too much, my weight-loss plan is just about out of steam. I told my fiance I thought maybe we should join a gym. There is a gym that, according to the title, stays open 24 hours a day near our apartment. They have a plan where you can sign up for 90 days at $149 or another one were you pay the first and last months fee (about $35 for each month) and the $80 processing fee. To be honest, I do not know if we will stay members after the wedding. I think it would be a good idea, but since we are moving apartments and everything I do not know if there is a center super close to the new apartment complex (I guess I should check this out). The 90 days for $149 offer is only good at one location. The other offer (which eliminates the "initiation fee") is good at all locations.

So who knows if working out is for us or not. We will have a problem finding time to work out, so I am thinking that the 90 day offer may be for us even though we are moving. But since there are 2 of us, maybe they will give us a better break on the other offer. Who knows. I almost feel like walking over there and asking questions. But that requires effort and right now I really need to make a sandwich because I am so hungry.

More info later.
