Organizing My Way Out Of A Funk

I thought I might not fall into the wedding funk that so many bees before me have fallen into. I thought that because I tend to stay looking for the silver lining, I had a fighting chance. Well, like so many wiser bees have said before me, like doesn't stop happening because you're having a wedding.

My great-aunt is in the hospital. My family refuses to acknowledge that I actually need to sleep when I get off work! And I have all these decisions to make that I can't seem to make. Since burying my head in the sand isn't a real option, I had to come up with something else.

Two things make me feel good. 1) Coming up with a plan. 2) Shopping.

So I took a note
List all written. I was feeling pleased with how short it looked. Sorta.


Behind the flash, it says sweetheart table.
 I tried to use all the colors in the pack because I apparently have a compulsion to do so. I got the list written and out and immediately felt better. It worked like magic.

The wall template. I didn't have tape, so I had to use post-its to hold it to the wall...

All hung up! But still missing something...

It needed the markers!

Kittle Kettle wanted to help. She's handing me the hammer. Oh wait, no opposable thumbs.
The combination of shopping and organizing helped me over the hump. I still feel like sticking my head in the ground, but just a little less so. And since we're getting our first mock-up of our invitations tomorrow and our tasting is Saturday, I have things to look forward to that should only make me happy.

How do you get over your wedding-avoiding hump? Did you manage to avoid it completely?
