So I feel as though without a date, there should be no planning involved. At least the big stuff. I don’t even want to think about it at this point b/c it’ll make me go into Project Overload. Thomas is like, “Why haven’t you planned some more?” and I’m like, “There’s no point! No contacts, no date, etc.”
On an amusing note though, these bridal conventions are like SHARKS!! I went to Bride’s Night Out in July w/Linda N. and signed up for some ‘stuff to win.’ Well, we didn’t win any raffles but about a month or so later, I get a call from CHILL salon and they are telling me to schedule an appointment for a FREE EUROPEAN facial!! How cool is that!!
Anyway, just to let you know, I do try to keep up appearances (i.e. look nice, decent) but am generally very low key. On my prom night, I paid someone to do my hair but never got a chance to put on makeup b/c I was helping my friends get ready and STILL to this day never got my nails done professionally. Prom night I had literally TWO toenails painted and we were off to dance the night away. Anyway, back to the beginning, I’ve never even had my nails done, much less a spa treatment so I go into the salon and the receptionist is like, have a seat. I wait and my technician comes out, leads me into this calming room w/a shower, tells me to replace my clothes with a towel, and lay down. At this point, I am literally thinking OMG someone is going to kill me with this towel on. She says, “You know this will take about an hour?” HOLY CRAP! I thought I was going in for a fancy face wash but the experience was pretty cool. I didn’t know how to tip her at first b/c I didn’t know the prices but ended up giving her 25% without knowing b/c it would have costed about $60 retail + tip. Whew- I am in the good.
So I keep winning random things- Belk calls me to tell me I won champagne flute glasses ONLY if I attend their bridal show. Neh- I’ll buy them myself, thank you very much. Not to mention the flood of e-mails.
I’ll save bridal conventions until the real time comes. And then I just won’t use their resources. LOL
