A bad bride...

I'm feeling like a bad bride.

"Why?" you ask, leaning forward to hear my every last word...
"Because", I say, putting my head in my hands, "I feel like I have been neglecting my bridesmaids"...

The reason? Stress in my own life.
Finishing grad school and finding a job makes Stacy a very dull girl. Finishing grad school and finding a job makes Stacy a very dull girl.

You get the picture.

I feel like I have asked these wonderful people to be involved in the wedding...and I haven't even SEEN anyone or SPOKEN to a couple of them in...a month? How has this happened? I got the "Real Simple Wedding" book yesterday and was reading about things, my first real moment of peace since final exams for my last class and starting to student teach...and the page "What to do for your bridesmaids" popped up...and alas, I have done nothing except take the ones in town for wine.

What should I do?

I have decided that I am going to either bind (if I have the time) or buy everyone involved moleskin notebooks (if I bind they will be woodsy) with everyone's contact info, pictures, and wedding notes I have so far with important dates, etc...like a "to do" notebook and a place to keep any notes on the wedding. Also "thank you" notes which I haven't done yet (I'm such a DOG) and something else sweet. For the ones out of town...hmmmm...and there are 4 out of town...I will have to do something sweet (a blog coming about the final 4...FYI...one I get their pictures...) -
I know I shouldn't beat myself up about this, I just feel so busy and then I look at my planner and wanna vomit and then I think about my sweet friends and I feel like I need to breathe and get it together.
