I find myself unexpectedly unemployed.
This would perhaps be a problem if it were not for a wedding coming up in less
than two months. There is no shortage of things to do!
I have never planned a wedding a
before. Well, not one that wasn’t mine. My daughter is pretty laid back which
is nice because she is easily satisfied, but difficult because it doesn’t
matter (to her) if everything gets done. Since I am a Type A personality I like
to know how many exactly and it is harder for me to be okay with whatever we
have. So not only am I having fun working with my daughter on her wedding, I
get to grow personally. I don’t have to worry about how many flowers get made
and how many arrangements we have. Whatever we have will beautiful and enough.
And yet another opportunity for
personal growth…there is no shortage of things to do around the house to get
ready for the wedding. Again, the Type A kicks in and I want things to be
perfect! After all, I reason to myself, this is the only time some of our
family will see our house; I want it to look good. There are rooms that need to
be painted, new blinds, curtains and carpets needed, and landscaping that needs
to done. As I usually do, I start with grand, big ideas that are way too
expensive and complicated. Then I go back and reassess and redo the list and I
end with simple, workable, and less expensive projects that are able to
finished. Most of them will get done and those projects that don’t get done
will still be there when the wedding is over. For the record, I love working around the
house, working in the yard, painting rooms, and making flowers. So here are a
few of my projects… And I will post some after pictures when some of these projects are done!
