In conclusion, wedding planning is quite a bit of work!

Even for her relatively small and simplified wedding, my friend still has a lot of details to work out. The invitations, the dress, the photographer, the cake, the dress, the food, the makeup, the hair, the dress, the seating arrangements, the flowers, the dress, the shoes. And finally, the dress. Today was dress day. The dress she ordered finally arrived and we met with a seamstress-friend of ours to take a look at it for alterations. Between lunch and the appointment, we had a few hours to burn so we went to the mall to browse at wedding bands. Yet another detail.   I learned a few new tidbits of information  about sparkly things:

• Palladium is another silver colored metal, not as expensive as titanium and probably less prone to discoloration than white gold.  Did I say titanium?  I meant platinum.  Whatevs, looks about the same.
• There are different ways to set diamonds: prongs, channel,  pave, and animal style.
• I am not the person to go to for questions about these things.
• Macy’s is having a sale on kitschy jewelry!  I got a pair of pearl earrings!

Today was the last day of one of my classes and I spent a lot of it playing Plants vs. Zombies. Two more left – almost there. Anyway, I didn’t realize how drained I’ve been this past week, today, I slept most of the metro ride home, came home, ate, slept another 5 hours, ate again and I guess it’s time to go back to sleep. Delicious. Maybe just one more episode of The Office though.
