Take a deep breath.

Everything is okay with my dress. Now I'm trying to tackle the issue of invitations. I know exactly what I want (well, I have two clear design ideas) and they do not exist on line. What if I'm not a froo-froo bride?

Keep on being nice to me.


Picky co-worker: How's your wedding dress shopping going?

Teeni: Fine. I went to House of Fashion, but everything I really liked was thousands of dollars. I only want to spend $600. So I'm going to David's Bridal on Saturday.

Picky: Ew. Aren't they corny?

Teeni: Yeah, probably, but it doesn't hurt to look.

I totally found THE wedding dress at David's Bridal this weekend. It fit way better and was way prettier than anything I tried on at HOF. Not to mention it was half the price I was planning to spend. Yeah!

But now I'm freaking out. The consultant that sold me my dress was pressuring me to order the dress I wanted this weekend. Apparently the line it was from wasn't doing well (obviously because all of the poofy, beaded, lacy dress-loving girls who buy their dresses at David's Bridal, have no taste at all) and they were going to discontinue it soon. On one hand I believed her because a friend of mine had a nightmare with bridesmaid dresses there. She tried to order them early, but they told her to wait until a month or two later. By then when she tried to order them exactly when they told her to, they were "discontinued." I expressed this concern to the consultant and she assured me that I would get my dress. I am still, however, freaking out about it. Would I be bridezilla if I called the shop to double check that they're going to be able to order this dress for me?

Be nice to me.

Yesterday I gave blood, so be nice to me. Then I had class and then I went to see Leon's show after that. I was feeling pretty bloodless and was in no mood to sit through 4 bands that play too-long songs on a weeknight. But Leon was playing and I like his band, even though they should really change their name to something cooler like oh, I don't know. THE AWESOME TALL DUDES?! So anyway. I barely stay on my feet after watching a sensitive solo project and decide to just roll with it and get a beer. Beer? Now Teeni, you really shouldn't drink after you give blood or you'll get druuuunk. So I chose to have a hefewizen. Because that has vitamins in it right? It was the most foody beer there, so what could it hurt? Drank that, watched Leon's band and then the other band....Wolf Colonel started. Just as I expected, as a K band would. The performance was just too confrontational. They did a long intro, introductions with the AUDIENCE, sing alongs, covers and tons of long emo songs in the style of Mirah and Kaela. I was growing wearier by the minute, but I had to stay you know, because the singer knew my name. I got the hell out of there as soon as they were over. I am so sick of these K bands that are so full of themselves. I'm the type of person who enjoys a nice show with short songs (especially at 11PM on a WEEKNIGHT and no commitment to react to the band the way thay want me to.

That's just me.

I won't say it.

I could have said that I told you so, and maybe I just did. I am no visionary, but I do have a little knowledge about certain matters and oh gee....I happen to do something relavent to this matter for a living. A mistake was made, a lesson was learned too late and here we sit on top of a bunch of turkeys.

But I won't say it.


You know, I told you so.
