I've Become "That Girl"

You know, the one that is completely incapable of opening her mouth without wedding related babble spewing forth uncontrollably.  I've been trying to keep quiet at work as much as possible for fear that I will unleash a tirade of nonsense sentences involving flowers, tipping rules, dress fittings, and gift etiquette.  It's like I've come down with an incurable case of Wedding Tourettes.

And the thing is, there really is so much more to talk about.  Like I've been thinking a lot about religion and my beliefs lately, largely inspired by Maggie's serial about her relationship with Catholicism.  And I've had this entry floating around in my head for over a week now about all of the doubts and questions that I have and wondering how one goes about finding a church, and if it's bad to want to go to church just to make friends.  But every time I sit down to write it I get distracted by my photo list or suddenly remember something that needs to be added to my wedding time line.

I want to write about the dogs and how insanely frustrating it is that for the past few months they've made it their sole mission in life to eat the entire contents of our house, yet I still really, really want another puppy.  And then I think oh my God, could that possibly be my biological clock suddenly starting to tick and think marriage, hmm, must be baby time!  But no, right?  Because Colby and I are in harmonious accord about the fact that we want to wait another 4 or 5 years before we even think about kids.  So maybe I really do just want a puppy?  And how can we keep the dogs from eating everything in our house?

I've also got a lot to say about the Seattle transit system, which really isn't all that fascinating, so maybe that's why I haven't written about it.  But seriously, the parking situation at the train stations is absolute crap which led to a parking ticket which I have now lost and need to pay, but don't know how, and then they just randomly decided to cancel my train home without saying anything on Monday because freaking Monday Night Football was in town.  My God Seattle, get your shit together!

So, anyway, the long and short of it is that I just can't bring myself to bore you with another post about the wedding, because you've all been so nice about it and I want you to keep being nice and excited for me, and not like, for the love of all that is good and holy, please shut UP about the WEDDING!

Instead, I'll show you the boots that I bought after all of the wonderful winter shoe advice I received from y'all on Tuesday.  Some people would have thought to themselves, huh, good idea, I should buy a pair of boots!  I thought to myself, huh, good idea, I should buy three pairs of boots!  So I did.

I can't really help with the dogs or even the Seattle transit system, but I do think your shoes are super cute and would love talking to you about the church issue sometime. *hugs* Blog about whats on your mind - even if that means lots of wedding stuff! *hugs again*

I'd slip in those latter two, for sure on our hills, esp. when wet. Since we live in the same city, I can really relate to the issue of trying to be practical in our weather vs. stylish and even though I opt for the former, I look at some of the other women that look so cute and I wonder if I could pull it off. And then I realize what a wuss I am whenever my feet get wet...

No worries on the wedding talk - it's YOUR big day!

3 pairs of boots? You're my HERO.

Also: Did you get that gorgeous blue dress, already?

I want that first pair of boots. Like waaaaaant them. Even though I just bought myself a pair of (rather cute) brown boots.

you people and your shoes

[sophie]

I couldn't walk in those last boots weather or no weather.

Talk about your wedding all you wish--it's your blog, and your day.

Hey...your wedding is the thing that you've been dreaming about ever since you were a little girl, and it only comes (let's hope) once in your life. You talk about it all you want, girl!

OOOOH . . . those boots are CUTE! I love boots and sweaters. I hate cold weather, but I love boots and sweaters. Go figure.

BTW, I love the wedding talk. LOVE the wedding talk.

ok you've been having me drooling a lot over shoes lately. now i need to go buy a pair of boots!

[Jass]

I got a Nine West pair of boots last year, but the heel is thin as a pencil, and I'm afraid I'll break both of my legs if I try. LOL Worn them 2 since, but I so need a thicker heel. The third pair of yours look walkable! :-)

About your wedding, don't fret about being that girl. You are getting married!!! How many people can say that? ;-)

[TasterSpoon]

That first pair is begging for horsey-pants (what are those called? breeches?) and a big, belted sweater. Boy do they look comfy.

The boots I bought in brown and black (two pair) are just like the 9 west boots. I *LOVE* them. They are super comfortable and I have no problem walking up and down the hills in them because they have a bit of traction on the sole.

And I think I'd worry ridiculously about you if you DIDN'T talk so much about your wedding right now.
