to do

all this week, the only thing i can think about is this. 

my stupid to-do lists. i feel like i can almost hear it laughing at me.

but i'm always resistant to complaining about wedding stress because, well, people get married every day. and by making the choice to *have* a wedding (instead of eloping like smart people), i think a certain level of stress sorta comes with the package.

so i really really enjoyed this excerpt from mindy kaling's book that i read on heart of light.

"a note about me: i do not think stress is a legitimate topic of conversation, in public anyway. no one wants to hear about how stressed out anyone else is, because most of the time everyone is stressed out. going on and on in detail about how stressed out i am isn't conversation. it'll never lead anywhere. no one is going to say "wow, mindy, you really have it especially bad. i have heard some stories of stress, but this just takes the cake."

for me, it's a good reminder that when i feel like the pressure's on, to take some deep breaths and power through. everyone's got their own shit going on. so try to stay afloat and do what you can.

oh yeah. wine helps too.
