36.

Here it is: there are only four more Fridays between now and the wedding.

In Becca's perfect world, all of the crafting and plans would be done.
Maybe there would be a few trips to the store to get a few things, but everything else would be done.

In reality, there are a lot of things still to do:
Signs need painted.
Bridesmaids bouquets need assembled.
Corsages need made. (They are also made of wooden flowers, like my bouquet.)
Paper flowers need created.
Burlap runners need to be cut. (At least we have the burlap now!)
The ribbon curtain needs to be completed. (At least we have a lot more ribbon now!)
The programs need to be assembled. (At least we have all the bits now!)
The music still needs to be downloaded & arranged in the order we want it in.
The favors need to be made.
The kid-table stuff needs to be acquired.
I still have a lawn game to make. (I have 1/4 of the required materials.)
We still haven't purchased our rings.
We don't have a cake topper or a cake serving set.
We also still have to decide if we are going to have anything on our cake besides the topper.
And then there's the doily crafts that need to be done...

Yikes.

I'm sure I'm missing some stuff, but that list alone gives me anxiety.

My mom and dad are coming over this weekend with the intention to help out with some stuff.
We're going to do the corsages, maybe prep some more stuff for paper flowers.
My plan is to start to download the music this weekend.
I'm going to have dad help with the sign painting this weekend, too.
I could probably also wash the doilies that I'm going to use for various things.

Oh so many things.

In fact, I am also taking Monday off to work on wedding crafts.
And my bachelorette party is probably going to be my bridesmaids helping me with crafts.

I think it's mostly so that my head doesn't explode.

I got my haircut for the last time before the wedding today.
I'll probably need a trim before the actual day, but no proper cuts should happen again until after we're married.

Atkins is still happening.
Despite having cake and empanadas at a goodbye last weekend, and cake at our final tasting today.
(And there was a 1/4 donut on National Coffee Day...)

That's it.
I'm down about 7.5 lbs, including some that I've gained back.
I've been doing it wrong the whole time though -- I haven't been getting my fat and protein amounts, but I have been good at the carb count thing. (Except for those three days mentioned above.)
I've spent an exorbitant part of these last two weeks feeling hungry. (My calorie count has been between 800-1500 calories / day, which leads me to question if it's the cutting of the carbs or the lowering of the calories that has caused me to lose weight.)
I will be able to do better with the tracking of things now that I know what I'm doing, and that all of the carb-heavy things are done for a while. Those two things should help Atkins actually do what it's supposed to.

Oops -- I spent way too much time talking about a personal thing here on the wedding blog.

Oh well.

There is other drama going on the scenes as well, but I don't want to get into that.
Just know that it's happening, even if it's not explicitly mentioned.
That drama makes me doubt a lot, which prevents productivity.

Here's hoping things get done!
