Are You Going Crazy (Yet)?

I lied to you, Bees. I said that I thought "What Have You Done So Far?" was the second most asked question during your engagement. Well, in the last couple weeks, I believe that the title of this blog has moved into the runner-up slot.

Yes, we're down to the wire, but the fact that this would drive me into a crazed Bridezilla-esque frenzy (after months of not exhibiting these behaviors)...or rather that people would assume it would...well, it's maddening.

This question has come from coworkers, shop clerks, friends and relatives alike. When picking up something from our registry at Macy's after work last week, the cashier told me I looked "calm for a bride just days out."

Ummm...seriously, did I miss the memo that, with weeks to go, brides are supposed to run around screaming, looking like sleep deprived monsters?

Should I perfect this look?
I don't know about you, but there doesn't seem to be enough time to be a monster!

Besides 10(+) hours / day at work, the last couple weeks have consisted of many things...though only some have been wedding-related. Below, a snapshot of the weeks prior to our wedding (will share details of the weekend before separately).

Wedding related: the last little details...(posts to come)

Gift bag prep (yes, that's Mr. Turkey laying on the ground)
Wrapping gifts for our VIPs
Pulling together the bathroom baskets
Not wedding related: babies, bridal showers & business trips - oh my!

A Saturday trip to Baby's 'R Us with Mr. Turkey may have delayed our plans to have kids by 10 years.... 
Bridal shower gift (a sneak peek of what I did after asking you all for help on ideas!)
Personalizing Zagat guides for our incoming interns!
A Philly-themed engagement gift (yes, I've given this bag before...)
Not a bad view for a business trip - running along the water in Boston
The parties and business trips (+ work) took up far more time than the few remaining wedding tasks and there has been absolutely NO time for screaming my head off. Now, granted, I do have wedding-itis, so maybe that's why my focus has been elsewhere!

We did manage to take care of our marriage license...albeit a little late in the game (oops)
For those of you (quickly) approaching your wedding day...did I miss the monster memo? Are you going crazy (yet) or focused on other things?
