The Wedding Planner

[ailbhe]

I love my caterers, I love my caterers, I love my caterers.

They just called and I can have 11 people and a baby at the top table, so I don't need to offend anyone at all and it will all be fabulous. Of course, there will still be 6 Leamy females and one male baby infant, as distinct from two Collier females and three males, but that's fine. Hurrah hurrah hurrah.

And they weren't even annoyed at me for changing the plans so late in the day; they don't want the final seating plan until next week - in fact, they think that it's nice of me to get it to them so early!

Time for a to-do:

1. Finish OU essay.
2. Find and book accomodation for two or three of my sisters.
3. Dye towels so that we can pretend we have matching sets.
4. Figure out schedule for laundry so that there will be enough clean towels and bedding for all the people who want to stay in ourhouse at various times. This means doing laundry the morning of the wedding; there doesn't seem to be any way around that.
5. Eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
6. Make shopping list for groceries not stocked by organic supplier.
7. Remind Rob to finish booking the honeymoon, and to call the plumber about the fact that I am 5'1" tall and the shower we had installed is optimised for people who are 5'9" and I can barely use it. It's still better than nothing, but it's not marvellous. Ho hum. The plumber only met me three times, I suppose. Perhaps I have a tall personality.
8. Call the florist to check about what the hell we're doing for flowers. Argh argh argh.
9. Money things. Boo.

:-) 10 months on I'm still using my maiden name for some things, but smallclanger will definitely be a Collier.

I've been down a couple of mines, I think life as a collier would drive me insane after about ten minutes!

We have no idea what name our kids will have. Probably something fairly random until they're old enough to make a decision.

I'd like to be a collier for a morning. I don't think I'd enjoy it much, though.

I still have no idea who you are.

Ahhh, I used to be on AFP a long long time ago. People like lnr, bellinghman, bellinghwoman, and Darrell know me IRL too (although I haven't seen the last three for a long time now, and I'm not sure Colette and Alan know this is me in this guise). :-)

I think I've found you

I have googled a bit (you can tell I ought to be studying) and I don't actually remember you, though it looks like we've conversed in afp.

Heh. Yes, that's me (and you'll recognise the sheep in the first pic of course). I do remember talking to you in AFP a couple of times, although I have no memory of what it might have been about. :-)
