If this heat keeps up, the San Fernando Valley can officially become the world's largest sauna. It doesn't help that I had to do laundry last night -- although now I have a new appreciation for people who have hot flashes. Last night was all about doing

We brides-to-be must occupy ourselves in a variety of ways or we will go insane. You cannot plan a wedding 24/7 -- it isn't normal, anyone who says otherwise needs a hobby. So, tonight, I curled up with a good mystery -- actually three: a made-for-TV

Life is good! The R.S.V.P.s are coming in; the rehearsal dinner is at one of our favorite restaurants; my father offered to make the bentschers for us; I only have three more thank you notes to write to be totally caught up; Adam loved the song I dedicated

You usually know going into a wedding what the expenses will be: food, flowers, dress, music, photographer. Not once on any budget list did I see cell phone (and I'm working off of three lists for this wedding). I know I exhausted my phone this month:

I feel slightly out of my element. I moved in with my fiance last week. I've only unpacked about half of my boxes. I had to ask a clerk at the grocery store where I could find the peanut butter. And on top of it all, Adam is in Kansas. I wish I could

I wish I could control the universe, but I can't. I can't make the seating chart because I don't know who is coming. I can't write thank you notes for presents we don't have yet. I can't lose 50 pounds in the next two months. But I can finish unpacking

Today I found out I'm worth 100 goats. I wasn't sure if I should be flattered or insulted. I mean, you can do a lot with a goat: eat, drink, stay warm, get a new friend. I've heard a woman of valor is worth a price more than rubies -- but more than a

I knew they would come. I mean, they had to, right? But knowing they are coming and seeing them in person are two different things. I'm talking about our response card. The coolest thing to reach my mailbox since those free samples of Jelly Belly I requested

The good news is I have not been buried beneath the boxes in my room. The bad news is they are multiplying during the night and I think might be planning a takeover of the eastern part of my bedroom. If I was Merlin in " The Sword in the Stone ," or Eglantine

It's amazing what sending out invitations can do for one's sanity. Monday evening, Adam came over to my house and we stuffed and sealed all 183 invitations. My future in-laws' neighbor generously donated her time to address all of them. Of course, between

Throughout this entire wedding-planning process, Adam and I have been playing around with tradition: we put labels on our Mickey Mouse-postcard save-the-dates, we took a pre-honeymoon to Europe, we're having two traditional witnesses and two untraditional

The lead story on tonight's 11 p.m. news will be: Bride Succumbs to Boxes. Rescuers found tulle, a list and a shoe under mounds of containers labeled "DVDs" and "toiletries." OK, so maybe it isn't quite that bad – I mean, I can still sort of see the floor

Weddings can be a game. No. Really. For $5.99 I was able to download "My Bridezilla" on my cell phone. I found that sometimes my brain needs a break from the stress of my own wedding. And it's cheaper than therapy. "My Bridezilla" is actually a pretty
