Wedding Procrastinating: My New Hobby

July 11, 2014/ treanab

People who know me or went to law school with me or have read this blog for a while are going to laugh at this next sentence: I am totally procrastinating. I have so many things on the wedding to-do list and I am just not doing them. Instead it goes like this:

Today:

I think I will go to Michael's after work today and get all of the ribbon and frames that I need to finish up these last few projects. Won't it feel so good getting that stuff off of my to-do list? Yes! It totally will. OH! I have to workout tonight and go to dinner with friends? Bummer. I'll go to Michael's tomorrow.

TOMORROW:

Today I am going to Michael's. It has to happen. It is happening. I need to get this stuff done. OH! Peek's baby shower is at our house on Saturday?!? That happened fast! Sam is gonna come over and help me make stuff? OK! Tomorrow. Michael's. It's happening.

The Next Tomorrow:

What do I have against Michael's? It's not like they are Hobby Lobby. Get it together. What's that? This Friday that I have off I have a dress fitting at 10, Costco run for Peek's shower, a pool date, and facial at 4? Uhhhhh. When exactly am I going to have time to Michael's and think about what ribbons I need for which things? Definitely not tonight... after the day at work I've had. No way. Tomorrow. I WILL go tomorrow.

The Next, Next Tomorrow:

This is just ridiculous. I need to just freaking go to Michael's. Maybe I can send LB... well, he sucks at all things craft related and won't do it right. Ugh. Why are guys so terrible at helping with weddings? I give him 3 things to do and he REFUSES to do them when I tell him to. Ugh. What did I need to do after work today???? Workout. It was definitely that I needed to work out cause there is no way I am running another errand after work for this wedding this week. The last two days I have already done SO MUCH.

And here we are... Michael's-less and ribbon-less. The procrastination is stressing me out... (so stop procrastinating says the wise Treana voice... Channel that inner Harry Potter).

Graduation!

House of Bennetts

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Oh well oh well oh well-a. Huh! Those summer nights. #youdownwithlmb

He’s just the lesson on loving your kiddo so so well and that life and parenting are forever tries. The things he’s taught her can be summed up into... everything. #youdownwithlmb #lmbanddada @robrich23

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this miracle. This force of a human. This incredibly hilarious, loving, strong, gorgeous miracle. We’ve been trying to give her a sibling for on and off two years now while still doing it “better”. So here’s what I know for sure this Mother’s Day: love yourself no matter how you became a mom. Love how you parent from a place of love and forever tries. If you’re lucky enough to have a mom who loved you, the best she could, try to love her for that too. Love those miracles you’ve got. And rest today in the knowledge that you just are doing it better— own that. Happy Mother’s Day to all. If you can’t get to happy today, you’re good sis. Get off the social media and get some good air into those lungs— Mother’s Day is hard. I see you.

Scenes from quarantine. We’ve hit two weeks here folks. Thanks to their daily walks, Lyla and daddy are doing great. This is a lot of family/at home time and it’s hard. #itsgettingchippy #stayhome #covid_19 #youdownwithlmb

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matte

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matters though is that Lyla had a blast and keeps asking when we can go to Mexico again. #youdownwithlmb

A simply excellent weekend with seeing my favorite humans everyday. #youdownwithlmb @lwbranz @adambranz

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It&rsqu

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It’s very triggering in large and small ways for me, but it’s so important to know her name and her story. @chanelmillerknowmyname @ashleyspivey #spiveys📚club
