Another roller coaster of a day!

I have had yet another roller coaster of a day.  You know- those days that are up and down all day long.  I tend to hate these days as they stress me out the most.  Today’s biggest issue was trying to get the 2nd choice for a wedding reception to return my emails/phone calls.  All I want is to get married.  Nothing fancy, no huge wedding that costs a fortune.  Just family and friends and a decent price.  Well, little did I know Houston has a bit of a markup in the inner-loop and most places are a tad out of budget.  I found one place but there is a summer minimum which is double what we wanted to spend so had to nix it.

Now I’m on to choice two which was a really obvious choice that I hadn’t thought of first - don’t you just hate that?  I called 4 different numbers today, had Mike call each number as well, and sent 2 email requests for information (all before noon) and nothing/nada.  So by 6pm when Mike got home I was in a stressed out/mad and nearly in tears over all of this.  So off to the gym he took me and I worked out my issues and felt much better.  While there I realized I am back down to 150 (yay!!) and have really increased my stamina on the cardio machines (another yay!).  So 2 good highs were nice to counter against the stress.

While I was working out that stress, reception choice #2 called so all my worrying about whether a live person worked there seemed to get answered and I feel much better.  Now I just need to try to call again tomorrow and pray that there are no crazy minimums.  I think not since there is a cap of 120 guests in the one section I want to have the reception in.  Hopefully I can set my date really soon and get the church and reception booked.  Wish me luck tomorrow!!
