So difficult. Like you, I to make a career change and get a second Master's to get my foot in the door of my next venture...so I feel you! What field are you trying to get into?<br /><br />@ Moz - Hey girly. Right now I'm gunning for the zombie engagement shoot, actually! The Love You List has taken a backseat to it - I could always make up for it in the thank you cards. (And my mom is slaving away upstairs over the burlap table runners. Umm...because moms RULE. Sometimes.)<br /><br />@Anonymous - Thanks for the support! I had a moment in the shower when I started screaming and pounding the tiled walls like I was auditioning for an Oscar or something. And then I was over it and felt MUCH better! Still battling the cold, however, and I think it continues to linger because of stress. <br /><br />(Note to self: Buy butcher paper, astragalus and olive leaf!)Kim NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656685309192458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-74992043339575137792010-07-27T11:43:49.437-04:002010-07-27T11:43:49.437-04:00Kim, this is so valuable. Definitely lessons to us...Kim, this is so valuable. Definitely lessons to use your whole life.<br />Btw, if you're getting sick, I really recommend taking astragalus & olive leaf. Works like a charm for me.<br />& This is totally superficial, but I considered burlap at one point, and then saw a pic of butcher paper, which seems to have the same effect & be way less work (unroll. cut. done). Only if you have time, though. No one will care if you don't have table runners.<br />Soldier on, and take a second to be excited!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-157893881572879662010-07-27T05:36:34.791-04:002010-07-27T05:36:34.791-04:00That last one is SOOOOOOOO hard to let go of.

And even then, being you, I bet everyone there knows pretty solidly that you love them. <br /><br />Wooh Kim!!Moznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-78175915773902768072010-07-26T21:09:48.510-04:002010-07-26T21:09:48.510-04:00I'm finished with my wedding planning, but som...I'm finished with my wedding planning, but some of these I find myself getting stuck on in every day circumstances! For example, I have a hard time letting go of old goals that may not work for me anymore (currently in a battle with myself over going for my Master's or switching careers. SO DIFFICULT.) <br /><br />Good luck with working out what needs to get done before your wedding! Just remember-if you have to let it go, most people won't know you planned it in the first place! I had to tell myself that a couple of times when it came to wedding stuff!TheresaSeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377154919529056919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-3121326173996903532010-07-26T15:47:30.421-04:002010-07-26T15:47:30.421-04:00@ Sarah K. - Thank you, your awesomeness, for the ...@ Sarah K. - Thank you, your awesomeness, for the kind words! You're clearly a good spokesperson for the "rock that nap" campaign because I'm totally on board now. Well...after the "love you list". :)<br /><br />@ Lethe - No, I'm not officially a Quaker. I guess I'm a Catholic supporter of Quakerism, haha. I've been to meetings in Brooklyn and we're getting married at one on Long Island.<br /><br />Yup, you're so right about people not knowing about the burlap table runners staying fabulous in a box in my garage. (Sigh.) But I'm finding that this is a great exercise in simplicity and conscious living. :)<br /><br />By the way, will you be at the NYC APW meetup???Kim NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656685309192458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-16382520851325941842010-07-26T12:41:16.593-04:002010-07-26T12:41:16.593-04:00Kim! I am here at your blog from having seen you ...Kim! I am here at your blog from having seen you post on APW. I didn't know you were getting married at a Quaker meetinghouse. Are you Quaker or just rocking a cool venue? (I go to the uptown NYC meeting)<br /><br />Also - don't worry. Your guests will have no clue there was ever something planned that you did not in the end decide to do. Nothing will be "missing" and they will have an awesome time. :)Lethenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757566963317785734.post-58189334867399429382010-07-26T11:25:49.764-04:002010-07-26T11:25:49.764-04:00Awww, sick?

If you REALLY want to make that "Love You List", do it with all of your heart. If you REALLY want to take a nice, long, nap, YOU ROCK THAT NAP (if you're feeling tired or sick, it'll be worth it). If you REALLY want to just sit with your friends who are coming into town and sip margaritas, you ENJOY the SHIT out of that margarita.<br /><br />This is the week you get married-- it is what it is, and it's going to be wonderful, fans or not. Have a great week. <3Sarah K.http://bondingcarbonunits.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
