Back to life, back to re-al-i-ty

There are a gajillion things I have put off doing til after the wedding, because duh, planning a wedding kind of consumes all of your free time.  I thought I would have postpartum depression after the wedding, but honestly, I really don't.  I am more excited than ever for this new chapter in our lives to begin.  And I can't tell you enough how excited I am to not come home after a long day of work and have to craft bouquets. So.Fucking.Excited.  I actually drove past a craft store the other day and felt relief that I didn't have to make a stop for supplies.  Instead I went straight home, cracked a bottle 'o wine and watched some mindless TV.  It was lovely.  So here's what else I am looking forward to now that the wedding is over and done with:

WRITING
3 scripts I am finally finishing rewrites on. And my writing partner and I can finally get to work on our feature. I have so much excitement for making shit happen with my writing career right now I could explode.  There comes a time in everyone's career when they are ready to take the big risks to make shit happen, and for me, I truly believe that time has come.  "No nuts, no glory" is what Happy Hour Housewife and I say!

TV WATCHING
Breaking Bad. Mad Men. Hung... oh, how I've missed thee! I will be catching up on every TV show I couldn't keep up with during wed-planning madness. Ooo! And Glee. Lots of Glee. And Modern Family too. And I may rewatch all of Lost Season 6 too. 'Cause I'm a nut.

MOVING
We are in the midst of post-wedding apartment hunting -- which is exciting, yes, but also frustrating because there are a million factors that go into finding a great place in Los Angeles. Neighborhood, commute, ammenities, size, etc. And do we want to live within walking distance of the metro? Yes of course we do, but then we'd have to move farther east and we both work on the westside. GRRRR.  As of now, we live in a great neighborhood.  The only problem is that the actual apartment we've been living in for the last three years charges us shitty rent when we could have cheaper rent in comparable apartments nearby -- on the same street even. SO. That hunt is on. Plan for the move is October. Fingers crossed we find something off the chain.

NEW WEBSITE PLANNING & DESIGNING
...Will be kept a secret for now... but I am working with a certain someone who I admire like caraaazy, and I am so so lucky that she agreed to work with me! I will keep you posted on the new site. It's going to be baller awesome, hot-2-trot, sexypants, and totally blam-blam. Whatever that means.

What are you excited to get back to after wed-planning is done?

  1. I was not depressed/sad the wedding was over AT ALL. Life immediately post-wedding was literally so fucking ridiculous that I had no time to be sad. Now that it's been over 3 months, yeah, I kinda miss it...sort of. I just wish I could have the big party again, and I think going to a wedding will satisfy that craving.

  2. I still have a few weeks to go but I'm pretty sure I won't be sad/need to do any crafts for a while. A very long while. Wine & mindless TV sound amazing and all your other plans sound pretty great too! :) Good luck! :)

  3. post-wedding, olli and i took a week for disneyworld, and then it was back to phx for the made dash to graduate. and then the whole moving to finland thing. it was insane for a bit.

    but then i had time in finland (NOTHING BUT TIME) to sit down and think about the state of my life, and i thought, "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO??!!"

    six years on, and i'm over it. so, it's good. it's all good.
