I Present Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit

So winter break is now officially over. Last week started on Wednesday, so I only had to teach one class on Wednesday and Friday. But this week my classes begin. I met with my professor earlier today to begin my directed reading and I am about to head to my American Lit tonight. Mondays are my long days. I teach at 11:00 and then I have a class at 6:30. Of course there is no reason to drive allllll the way back to Indian Trail, so I hang around for 6 hours and try to get work done. Of course today, I just successfully surfed. That's ok though. I kind of needed it. My winter break was not very relaxing, although it did get much better after my last post. We had a wonderful Christmas with my Mom and Herm here. Greyson and Ryely hit the jackpot with Santa and the family, and I cooked a very tasty meal and even got to use my fancy new flatware. There were lots of parties and dinners and adventures. Fun and enjoyable, but relaxing? Not so much.

Since the semster was about to start, I tried to make use of the free time I had before I got caught up in the whirlwind of schoolwork. The last two weeks have been spent almost exclusively and obsessively on planning my wedding. I am very excited about it and I am really enjoying the planning. But I am a crazy, neurotic, self-conscious, second-guessing kinda gal. I bought my wedding dress on Friday and have not slept decently since. It's a beautiful dress, and I can rock it pretty well (I think), but it's not as traditional as I was planning. THis is good or bad depending on my crazy second guessing neurotic mood swing at the time. I love me wedding website (www.mywedding.com/toddandtiffany) but I am also wondering if I should have gone with theknot.com like everyone else. I can't stop fighting with this idea of traditional. It stands behind me whispering in my ear about regrets I will have not spending my wedding as Cinderella. Well, maybe I don't want to be Cinderella! But when will I have the opportunity to wear a huge ass gown that I could hide a small country under??? They look at you funny in the grocery store. I really do drive myself crazy- it's a wonder Todd wants to marry such a wackjob, but then perhaps he finds it endearing. I find it exhausting trying to please me- I don't know how he does it? DO I want my wedding to safely blend in with everyone else's or do I rock it like my Jessica Rabbit Wedding Dress? Well, all sales are final and the the beach is booked, so I am gonna meet my Roger Rabbit by the sea and rock my wedding.
