YIPES

Holy smokes...10 days before I get hitched! It's so hard to believe. (Lena, I don't see how you're doing it with a bun in the oven.) I'm getting a bit stressed, even though Mom and aunt Martha are doing most of the work. Marden doesn't seem to be stressed in the least, so it must be a girl thing? Keep your fingers crossed for me that we have good weather (the ceremony is outside), as that's pretty much my main worry at the moment. Though it's not like worrying about it is going to change anything...if it rains, it rains.

Tonight is my shower given by Kristyn and Kendra, and (like Lena) I'm not looking forward to being the center of attention. I already feel like a Big Greedy with the wedding gifts that people have already sent. Which reminds me - we got the MOST AWESOME gift yesterday from my Aussie friends Clare and Shane...EIGHT boxes of TimTam cookies. Well, they call them biscuits, but you sure wouldn't want to put butter and honey on these...they are chocolate rectangle wafers with chocolate cream filling dipped in thick milk chocolate, and you can only get them in Australia. I brought back about 5 packages with me last year, and they lasted all of a week. The best is doing a "TimTam Slam" which is to bite off opposite ends of the cookie (biscuit) and slurp up hot chocolate through it. YUMMY. Gotta take it easy though...need to fit into that dress!
