Everyone complains that there is barely enough room in the coach class on an airplane to sleep, let alone work. You have a little more room to work in an exit row; and even more in first class. I wasn't in first class, but I made the most of my window

I'm leaving town. That's right. I'm out of here. I've thought about it and decided now that I've picked up my postage for the invitations and dropped them off with the calligrapher, changed my address with the DMV, tried on my dress, met with the rabbi,

I promised myself I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't be one of those brides-to-be who looked in the mirror and became a crumpled mess of emotions. But I have to admit it: When I tried on my dress at my first fitting, I teared up. Don't worry, they were tears

I'm not a fan of ill-preparedness. I always like to have maps when I'm driving somewhere I don't know; I make a batch of a new recipe days before I need to bring it to someone's house; and before going on vacation I research and create lists upon lists.

Ever since Adam and I became engaged, we've been doing errands here and there. Now that, as I am reminded constantly, we have three months, it's crunch time. Luckily I am a fairly organized person, as is Adam, so we knew that eventually we would hit a

It's amazing the things you end up doing in the wedding-planning process. You know you are having an off week when taking a picture of carpet is on your to-do list. Yesterday, my future mother-in-law and I met with the caterer so I could show her the

Yesterday I became Susie Homemaker. It was for a few hours, but it was a territory I seldom venture into -- except when I bake, make chocolate dipped strawberries or create my fabulous candied carrots. Adam and I had reached a domino effect when it came

Today I feel a sense of accomplishment. Getting anything done at the "100-day" mark is a big deal for a bride-to-be. And considering today is Friday the 13th, I’ve been doing a remarkably good job, if I do say so myself. I’m right on top of my checklist

"So don't you linger, here's a ring for your finger Isn't it a humdinger? Come along and let the wedding chimes bring happy times For Adam and me" OK, so I took a little license with the words of Irving Berlin. I'm the bride… until my wedding day I think

It’s been a long time since I was the center of attention. Thus, I was kind of nervous the morning of my first bridal shower. It wasn’t that I mind being in the spotlight (I’m more afraid of antique stores than I am about public speaking), it’s that I

Back to the pre-Honeymoon write up -- I hope to finish the total recap before our actual honeymoon. I can't believe I ended a post without telling who was on the other side of the elevator doors when they opened. In retrospect it wasn’t that important

Tonight Adam and I are cleaning house. Actually, we are cleaning registry. Something we hadn't realized when we first registered at Crate & Barrel , during one of their Engagement Sundays, was which items were seasonal and which were not. We took

Today is my birthday. It isn't one of the major birthdays (if it was I would defiantly have played hooky today), but it is a big deal in its own way. It is the last birthday I will have a single gal. Next year I will have been married for more than eight
