Nestled in between a few innocent emails from friends and family I spotted the E-MAIL SUBJECT LINE OF IMPENDING DOOM. "6 Months To Go!"

No matter how you look at it, six months is a horrible amount of time. Looking at October 17 as a looming deadline, the whole-grain Mini-Wheat planner side of me says "six months is going to fly by. October 17 is not that far away". The fun, frosted Mini-Wheat Amy says, "Burning in hell for six months feels like a pretty effing long time and the next half year of my life is going to kill me."

Let's get some perspective on this situation:

Ceremony location-confirmed/booked
Reception location-confirmed/booked
Photographer-confirmed/booked
Music for ceremony-needs to be done
DJ for reception-needs to be done
My dress-hanging in my closet
Bridesmaids' dresses-en route from J Crew
Tuxes-not ordered
Flowers-no clue
Food-not chosen
Guest list-draft is done; not final
Invitations-have started working on designs
Rings-still don't know if we'll buy new bands or have our existing bands engraved
Engagement photos-not done
Engagement announcement-not done
Colour scheme-picked
Centrepieces and decorations-idea list is growing

Thanks, TheKnot.com, for throwing me into a flap and effing up my TGIF mojo.
