My cell phone has been ringing off the hook today. And it's no surprise--my day has been fairly busy. After going to bed around 4 a.m., I awoke around 9 a.m., took my shower, packed a lunch and a snack, ate breakfast, packed my study bag full of books, and gathered my necessary bakeware for the French toast casserole I promised Robert I'd make today. I'm making the French toast casserole for an office party he's attending tomorrow morning, but it takes a day to chill in the refrigerator, hence the early preparation. I decided to cook in Robert's duplex for ease of travel (I need, and don't have, a convenient casserole dish carrier). So, I arrived around 10:45 and made the French toast casserole until 11:30. I left, caught the bus, and went to the library for a day of studying.
While on the bus, I decided to call my bridal shop to check on my bridesmaids' dress orders. Just my sister has her ordered so far, which nearly sent me into heart palpitations (dramatic, perhaps, but remember I'm sleep-deprived and reading 300 books in about two months' time). I also got information for my flower girl dress, but was on the bus, so I couldn't check the website like they wanted me to. I made it to the library, texting Robert the whole time to keep him informed on my progress (it's his cousin's daughter who will be the flower girl), and then made it to a computer to check the dress website to verify the order. I called my bridal shop again and placed the official order (well, sort of...she wrote down the style information and Robert's cousin will place the actual order with measurements and deposit). As I was on the phone with them, lo and behold, one of my bridesmaids was in the shop trying on the dress and getting measured! So, now I have two out of seven bridesmaids dresses ordered. I'm still feeling frantic, but slightly less so.
My bridesmaid who ordered her dress while I was on the phone with the shop (which is located about 2 and a half hours away from me, so I can't just hop over easily) texted me immediately to tell me she'd just placed her order. So, I've been receiving excited texts from her (she loves the dress! Yay!) and from Robert as well.
My phone just keeps buzzing.
To be a bride and a student...it's proving to be an exercise in multitasking. Fortunately I have Robert and both our families to support me through it all.
I'm relieved and trying to take it a day at a time.
Although perhaps I should silence my phone just out of courtesy...the buzzing seems to be bothering my fellow grad students.
