I blinked and suddenly it’s almost Labor Day. The kids (I can call college students kids because I could be their teen mom) come back this week and classes start Monday. How did that happen? What have I done over the last three months?

• We had to switch back to normal hours from summer hours yesterday. I really can’t complain too much because I honestly don’t work a 40 hour week anymore, (8:00-4:30 during the school year, 8:00-4:00 during the summer, with an hour lunch) so I work what, 37.5 hours a week most of the year? Not too shabby, but those 30 minutes made a difference!
• Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a destination wedding in another country is also stressful. Planning a destination wedding while your fiance is medically retiring from the Army and job hunting in two locations while you’re both dealing with some health issues is VERY STRESSFUL. But, as he told me this morning, there’s no one we’d rather go through this with.
• My health stuff is a post for another day when I have more answers for you.
• In better news, a couple of girlfriends and I are going to Montreal in min-September for a mini-bachelorette party. I’m not a drinker but I love being pampered, so we’re going to a spa for the weekend. I can’t wait! The spa, Bota-Bota http://botabota.ca/en/ has been highly recommended. We’re getting an hour and a half massages, facials, and doing the water circuit. Give me ALL the pampering!!
• I firmly believe in self-care and whatever form that takes for you. So in the past five months, I have been getting regular massages and it has been so good for me. 
• The wedding has gone back down in price again. Not quite as much as the first time, but much better than before. The question is, do I book on Expedia and pay the whole trip now, or do I pay about $300 more and use the travel agent like my boo wants? 

Ok, I should get back to work now. Have a great week, friends!
