I Watch Too Much TV
Yesterday I spent a solid three hours watching the WE channel. Yep, Bridezilla marathon. Had to watch it. Simply had to. And it made me wonder: will I be Bridezilla? Granted, these women do seem a bit off-balance from the beginning ("It's my day!" "I'm the princess" "I said 'magenta' not 'red'"). So far the only item that has caught my attention is my mom's obsessive desire to put bows on everything. If I don't watch her closely I'll end up getting married in 1983.I like to think I'm normal. But who knows? Marriage does odd things to people. When I told my pseudo-boss that I was engaged she almost cried. She went through a divorce about ten years ago and lost faith in marriage. Which frankly makes a great deal of sense to me. I've never been the "move on" sort of person. I love Jeff, but I think I hate men.
In more upbeat wedding-related news, I'm planning a weekend o' fun with my mom, Jeff's mom and sisters, and my maid of honor. Keep in mind that for me planning involves very little planning. Mostly I just think about what fun it will be and that I should call people. Then I think of excuses such as my mom's work schedule (she works a lot of weekends) and how much laundry I need to do. And then I neither call my mother about her work schedule nor do laundry. I watch three hours of Bridezilla madness. Because that is the most efficient use of my time.

You saw the Bridezilla marathon? I am so jealous. Well, really, to be totally honest and totally a pitiful person, I've seen all the old eps. I just really wanted to see the new season premiere. When is this fun weekend of Bridezilla-ness coming up? I can't wait!
Also, I can't really picture you being a bridezilla. You can try, tho, I'd like to see it -- it would be funny to see you try to be truly mean and evil.
Please don't encourage her, Jen.
