That's a bit of a play on a line from an Alabama song that none of you probably heard of, but I like it.
Since Saturday, a TON of shit has happened (mostly good) that has elevated my usually very low stress level up very high. I've been very jumpy, and I haven't been able to sleep. It's like my hyperactivity from childhood came back for a visit.
First of all, on Friday I discovered that the damage on my snowmobile was a lot worse than I realized. That got the stress ball rolling. Friday night we booked the Bounti Fare for our rehersal dinner. While that certainly wasn't stressful, it was certainly part of the many things we had going on. On saturday we met with 2 more floorists and went to Morningside bakery to talk about cake. While each of the two floorists had their high points, it was an easy decision for us to decide on the first guy that we met with last week. The cake was also an easy decision. Morningside can do exactly what we want, and they're only $80 more than the cake nazi we met with a couple weeks ago. We got done with all of that stuff early enough that we also went to the tux place and got a lot of that crap taken care of. After lunch, it was off to Pittsfield Lawn & Tractor to look at sleds. An hour later, I became the proud owner of a new 2006 Arctic Cat Crossfire 700 Sno Pro. After that, we swung by to check out a jeep that kristin saw in the paper. I just got back from giving him a deposit. Kristin decided to buy it. Now her and I are both in the process of getting financing. To add to that, I don't have transportation because I dropped the Camry off at Tommy's to get the shitty rear struts replaced. That is a cluster fuck in it's own right because they don't want to warranty them because I don't have the receipt. So, although almost all of this is good news, it's an awful lot to juggle at once and my head is spinning from it. The fact that kristin and I just took on another $21k in debt isn't helping matters either.
It's only monday, and I already need a weekend.

I hear ya...we just put in an offer on a house and it was accepted. But they want to close ASAFP. We need to get an FHA inspection completed and approved 10 days from our Engineers inspection this Wednesday. Plus there is a fiasco with the two banks we got good faith estimates from. Was it this much of a pain for you too?
That aspect of it wasn't. What was a nightmare for us was that the house had a bad septic system, and instead of fixing it properly, the seller tried to pull a fast one. Because of it, our closing date got pushed back 3 months. There were also other issues with having other work done and having the tennants out. All in all, a cluster fuck. But, if there's anything I can say, it's that no matter how deep the bullshit gets, it's well worth the reward. Good luck man!
