January 14th

I am a Type A person. I am not ashamed by it and it is what it is. However, it doesn’t mix well with some people who are more, go with the flow and whatever is fine. I am not bothered by people who are like that if it is not an event that I am organizing, because it is not in my control, just let me know when to show up.

I organized and planned my entire wedding and the only things that went wrong were the drink people did not bring my Whiskey for my Whiskey sours and the caterer arrived late – both out of my control. I ran the whole show on time without even glancing at my phone once, just intuition. I am proud of that because it is the best memory to hold about your wedding day.

I do not do well with making plans, then changing them three times before the day even happens. It naturally, annoys me. I am a planner and I like sticking to my schedule, even if I have nothing else going on. I try not to fuss or complain about it but every now and then it is my biggest tick. (I feel like this is also associated with my Autism, but that’s another story).

My in-laws are very go with the flow and change plans on a dime. Which is fine, but it does bother me when plans were made, then canceled, then rescheduled and then added another day on. I just try not to say anything because the last thing I want is to hurt people’s feelings because my pet peeves are being petted. (And deep down it’s a me issue?)

So we will either go out to Mexican (where I can’t have a margarita because I chose to cut out alcohol) on Friday night, Saturday afternoon or Saturday night. Then we will watch our parents exchange gifts on the opposite Day since they never got together for Christmas. And my parents do not know yet because the message has not been relayed.

My head hurts thinking about it.
