Its been awhile...

And damn but do I have a good excuse or numerous great excuses for being MIA.

Starting with:

1) My holidays were amazing!!! 3 weeks out of the country enjoying the sun, sand and food! Good news is that I didn't put on too much weight because I stayed well away from the good fried stuff. No schnitzel, no falafel, no fun but cést la vie...I did however have a lot of fresh fruits due to it being summer. Including lots of cherries, all hand picked by my lovely self and the boyfriend and his sister. Heaps of plums which were straight from the tree to the tummy and I also went to the cow farm and had fresh cheese!

Cherry picking!

Letting a cow lick me because someone said I should try...Uhhhh!
It was WEIRD!!!

2) Coming back to Singapore was a rude awakening. So bad that I had a panic attack at the airport...it didn't help that we ended up having a 4 hour delay which threw our body clock out of synch! So panic attack plus delay does not make for a happy camper. Missed my connection flight, got set up on the earliest flight out and was happy to be home to get into the swing of things. OMG, then it hit me-7 weeks (this was then) to the wedding!!!

3) So now, I have 38 days to my wedding. I always feel like there is something I am forgetting. Most of the external vendors have been settled including a little surprise for the other half but I am still running through checklists everyday! Sometimes I feel like I want to give up because seriously...some of those checklist just bloody don't apply because Singapore weddings have the hotels helping them out with stuff. We got our rings just last week (from a life saver no less) but that is a reason for another blog post. Link will be attached in due time! I just signed up for my solemnization and solemnizer...again, cutting it very close. I basically spammed everyone with an email address listed on the Justice of Peace list! So, that's settled!

4) I still have a day job! Which requires constant attention because apparently my workload has just doubled...Bah! I have nothing nice to say about this and momma always said "Don't have anything nice to say, don't say it". So I won't even elaborate.

This is how I feel now...Daily!

Things to look forward to this week:

- food tasting at the hotel

- dress fitting (scary)

And...in August...Hen's Getaway!!! And then the Big Day!!! 

So I will do my very very best to keep everyone updated as the weeks go by. And as I slowly start to lose my sanity in the next 4 weeks, I am sure this blog will turn into my rant page more than anything else. Posts to look forward to include:
- my trip to Israel (the insiders guide)
- Wedding Planning 101...and how to survive doing it solo
- Bali Hen Weekend
- Personalizing your wedding...
- also some posts about the vendor's I used and the pro's and con's

XoXo, POTP

PS: While this post comes at a times when everyone is posting hate messages all over the internet and re-posting photos from different war zones without checking facts, I choose to try focus on the good stuff and not get to worked up about things that are not within my control!
