It's Officially Wedding Week

Oh my gosh -- I'm excited and excited/nervous and excited/happy.  Lots of cool things happening this week.  Enjoy the process (or get overwhelmed).  

We're heading to the kid's apartment on Thursday evening to watch a video DIL's brother put together from messages from former wedding guests.  It's all a surprise and that's going to be fun.

For some reason, the charcuterie platter for my DIL and her gals feels like a big addition to the week.  Trying to simplify so it doesn't add so much setup to the actual wedding day.

Switching gears -- I planted my "greens" yesterday.  Lettuce, spinach and romaine.  The overnight temps look warm enough now.  Also, my inside chives sprouted overnight (2 little ones, but it's a start).  

Gave hubby a haircut and messed up the side with the new clipper.  I can fix it if it doesn't fix itself this week by growing a smidge.  Don't want to mess with it just yet.  He was warned this was possible :)

I'm a farmer and a hairdresser and a caterer.  Remember "being" lots of things as a kid -- this week feels like that lol. 

My goal this week is to RELAX into all these things.  It's only overwhelming IN MY HEAD.  The reality is I have plenty of time to get everything finished and then some.

Remember the 21 for 2021 list?  If all goes as planned, I'll make a yeast bread today.  Why am I adding this on THIS week, because it reenforces the fact that busy is okay and not overwhelming -- practicing this concept.  I have time and the ingredients.  Why not.  

Also, I might have my craft project idea.  A semi-DIY little take-n-return library for the new house.  I've seen them in a few places in Asheville and our back street gets lots of walking traffic.  I think that would be fun.  My contribution to the craft is probably painting it (with a little assembly) -- but that counts (says me lol).  

I changed my mind on painting an old blanket chest (looks better stained), but I ordered paint for an old table.  Plans are to paint it gray/green and take it up to the new house.  Lots of fun projects happening.

Today is a Costco run, bread baking and a little housecleaning.  Happy Monday.  Let's make this a super duper fun week.  Stay well.  Later gators.
