Don't worry. I have everything under control.

This is how I have felt lately. I have the largest To Do List you could ever imagine. I don't feel like doing any of it. Actually, amazingly enough somehow I am managing to avoid doing a lot of it.

Granted most of the stuff I have to do falls into the "non-emergency" "not important" quadrant, for right now anyway. Soon it will explode into the emergency quadrant and teach me a lesson, but until then I am happy putting it of.

I spent most of my weekend sewing a dress for the Friend's of St. Jude Blues Ball we are going to next weekend in DC. The dress calls for Blue Creative Cocktail. Not sure what that is exactly, but I am making it an excuse to sew myself a vintage Vogue dress. I like it so far, but I really need a bigger petticoat than I have. Hopefully I can enroll some help on this.

We have planned to have our engagement party the Friday right after Thanksgiving. Matt and his family are in town so it seemed like a good opportunity. I have to organize the storage unit I am currently sleeping in before Matt gets here. I don't think it is too bad, but my parents can't believe I sleep in here. (FYI it is my old bedroom at my parents' place that I sleep in while I am in LA. It isn't really a storage unit. I just resembles one with piles of boxes everywhere.)

I am thinking I am going to have to start sewing my wedding dress soon. I saw some Peau de soie the other day that I think may be a winner. I guess I just need to finalize what I want and wait for a sale. Like I said "Don't worry. I have everything under control."
