Pent. Up. Stressed. Frustrated. Over. Whelmed. Didn’t want to make another decision to save my life, you better not ask me, cause my head will spin a hundred million times and I then I will kill you.
That’s been me… for say… oh about two weeks.
It was ugly. I was a force to be reckoned with. My wrath could envelope a room.
But. It disapatted. We went to a party Saturday night. We drank. We laughed. We partied. We stayed the night. And, the next morning, while tired and needing some bacon, I felt good. The freaked out chick who showed-up the night before, did not come home with us the next day. (As far as I’m concerned, Kenny drowned that alter ego in the pond. All we know, is we both do not want it to come back to life.)
What drove me mad, you ask? Well, I think it was a combination of work and wedding. Work’s been super busy and making final decisions for the wedding and executing invitations and everything else piled-up on my plate. And, I think what was really killing me was… get this… having to make decisions that would make everyone happy. Then it got to the point, where Kenny would ask me if I wanted rice or potatoes and, well, it wasn’t pretty.
Then, late last week I got so sad. Because, I just wanted to feel excited. I wanted to feel joy. And, I felt like I stopped enjoying everything.
But, today. I’m excited! I’m getting married next month. It’s crazy! My shower is this weekend. I get to share a nice meal with friends and family – one of my favorite things to do – and I’m getting married next month!
So, my task at hand… will be to ward off the Zilla Monster and remember what all these crazy plans are about.
It’s about… Me. Him. Love. Marriage. Happiness. Joy. Friends. Family. Celebration.
I was heading in this direction.

I wouldn’t mess with her. Would you?

girlfriend, i was right there with you a couple of weeks ago! it was before my shower, and i was in a panic. i didn’t feel excited, i didn’t feel happy – something just wasn’t right. then one day i woke up and i said, “i am planning our wedding and this is awesome!” …and my shower came and went, and the excitement never went away. i think it’s this weird thing that happens right before the wedding – you get so overwhelmed and nothing is fun anymore. but don’t worry, there’s no looking back to that crazy ‘zilla!

Me too! I have had a few embarrassing moments in the past week…I am a little over a month away and I ‘ve become verrrry ASSertive! I have a great (read: forgiving) support system…with a fabulous sense of humor!
I have the curse of truly believing that “it’s all in the details”…so, EVERY little detail has been covered, thrice!
Thanks for the reminder and the comraderie…at least I am in good company when I put on my straight jacket!

Oh, how I have missed reading your blog…and to know it’s been a rough couple of weeks for you, I’m so sorry! Totally been there, girl! Take a deep breath and a few seconds to step away from it all, and know that everything will come together. Easier said than done, I know, but I totally understand getting into “the zone” (the zilla zone, that is!) and not feeling like you can snap out of it. And that joy will certainly come back, I promise you
