Man, I'm cool. My wedding dress came with snap-on sleeves, I'm presuming they're for those churches that don't allow bare shoulders. They match the rest of the dress and have the same beading and such but I know I'd never wear them and had no idea what to do with them. Throwing them out seemed wrong, since they're still part of THE DRESS, y'know? So I, in my infinitely crafty wisdom, chopped them up and made a purse. Now I'll have a place to stash my lipstick, phone, and ID for the weekend and it matches the dress. How many other brides can say that, unless they're Vera Wang? I even added a little "something blue" since I know at least seven ladies that will kick my ass if I don't follow all the rhymed instructions.

In other news, I had a small breakdown last night. I could handle the wedding OR moving OR transferring jobs, but all three together makes my head want to pop. Most of it will be over by the 23rd when the movers come. At that point it's too late for most things and if they haven't gotten done by then it's too bad. This week of frantically trying to get things done is really stressful. Imagine a week of finals for ten classes you haven't attended since the first week of the semester, and you need to get an A- average or a burly man with a sword will cut your leg off. Yeah, like that. Amputation wouldn't be so bad, right?
