Flit, Flit, Flit

Dinner with friends tomorrow. Worldcon starts the day after that - dancing Thursday night, some stuff or other on Friday, dancing Friday night, possibly another dance on Saturday, and probably at least a small amount of socializing off the dance floor. The weekend after that is the party at Six Flags. And then I'll have about a month left until the wedding.

Right now, I am physically unable to concentrate on anything besides these facts. I am extraordinarily grateful that work has stayed deathly slow, since it would be unprofessional of me to spend valuable client contact time wondering whether machine-washing my poodle skirt will make the sequins fall off, or if I've past the age when it's appropriate to bring my chain mail bikini to a convention.

I'm being very, very good and not peeking at the registry or nagging people to send reply cards. I am, however, agonizing for hours on end over the perfect wording for the handfasting, and fretting excessively about whether I'll be able to decorate the arch in a way that won't conflict with the (vaguely described) urns of flowers that will be decorating the ceremony room. It's amazing how many tiny details you can find to obsess over, if you just look hard enough.

Worldcon in two days. Party in a week and a half. Wedding in 46 days. I hope I remember how to focus sometime before then....

or if I've past the age when it's appropriate to bring my chain mail bikini to a convention.

Age is not relevant. Figure is relevant. You have the figure for it.

I hope you have a wonderful time at WorldCon!

Sounds fun.

I truly wish I was going to worldcon for many reasons, among them that I haven't seen you in far too long. But, my silly sister decided to get married on Worldcon weekend. You, you're getting married -- but you know better than to do it on Worldcon weekend (unless you did it at Worldcon), but my sister... and it is out in British Columbia, so no hope.

She knows not what I give up to make her wedding.

Just remember, if you're obsessing over small things, it's because all the big things are going well. :-)

The only problem with your chainmail...

is that I won't be there to see it.

Have a LOVELY time dancing and enjoying yerself, dear. Wish I wasn't on duty!

And hope, dearly, to see you in 50ish days...

You're definitely not too old for chainmail. However, I recall another fantastic metallic garment you wore at Arisia causing you discomfort or injury after dancing, so be careful.

Good point.

Oh, and I owe you an apology - I completely spaced on helping you move today. Between extra shifts at work and a new spam filter on my email (that has been catching the occasional non-spam email), it completely slid beneath my consciousness until this morning.... :( Sorry!

That's okay - one more person might have been too many, and one more car definitely would have been too many. Far more people volunteered than I expected. I actually had to turn two away who had initially volunteered, then weren't going to make it, then decided they could make it after all.

You missed a great dinner, though.

If you haven't already visited the site, check out IndieBride.com.  [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] found it helpful for keeping her sane while planning our wedding.

I haven't seen that before, but it definitely sounds useful - thank you!
