Mush. My Brain Is Mush.

The alternate title to this post would be: Mood Swings.

Well, only 3 days to go and I feel fried.  I go from being giddy and excited, to overwhelmed, to exhausted, to just not wanting to deal with it all to wanting to cry.  We went to pick up Patrick's tux last night and the woman commented on the emotions on my face.  She said she'd never seen anything quite like it.  Awesome.  Then seeing Patrick in the tux made me want to cry.  Seriously, I feel like I'm PMSing 24/7.  I think these mood swings are contributing to my exhaustion.  It's making me really glad that I went ahead and scheduled a massage for myself.  That's tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to that.

Today is my last day at work, thank goodness!  I can barely concentrate because I'm distracted thinking about the wedding.  Besides, I am soooo ready for some vacation time.  I totally plan in sleeping tomorrow before I have to go run errands.  And then Mexico is going to be awesome!   I'm also looking for some book suggestions for the honeymoon.  We've got a bit of a plane ride and we'll be on a beach, so I do want to be prepared with a book, if needed.  ;-)  Thanks!

Three Things Thursday

1.  The sun is finally back out here in Maine.  Hooray!  Originally I was going to make this week's Three Things Thursday about my pet peeves, but I'm in a much better mood now that the sun has returned.  I find that my mood it completely correlated to the weather.  Do you feel the same way?  I just think I need the vitamin D.

2.  Speaking of sun, Patrick and I booked our honeymoon to Cozumel, Mexico!  We have been going back and forth on this and we finally decided (after much research) to just do it.  We're staying at the Park Royal, which is an all inclusive resort for six nights.  We figured we'd have fun no matter what because we'll be together.  I'm a little nauseous just thinking about it because a) I'm so excited and b) I just dropped a ton of money all at once, which makes me slightly uncomfortable.  But then I look at the pictures and I get excited again.  Here are a few I stole borrowed for the Travelocity website:

3.  How could anything else on this list compare to that last one?  Other than the fact that my morning class was canceled today.  And really, I had the best intentions of getting some homework done, but instead I've sealed all the envelopes to my invitations and read blogs.  Oh well.  I was also going to try my new workout DVD, but both the Xbox and the PlayStation we have in this apartment are not working.  Go figure.  I'm trying to do a yoga DVD to relax and instead these machines won't read my disc which just makes me more aggravated.  I guess I'll have to go for a run later or maybe hit up a spinning class.

Honeymoon Dreaming

Patrick and I are 5 months away from the wedding as of tomorrow.  I can hardly believe it!  We're starting to think about our honeymoon and I'm getting excited about it.  The real question is where to go?  Here are our ideas so far:

Chicago

Pros:
I've never been there before, but Patrick has so he knows a little bit about how to get around.
Public transportation can get us pretty much anywhere we want to go.
It's a big city with lots of things to do.
Cons:
If we want to relax and hang out, there really isn't a beach (that I know of anyway) and we'd have to chill in the hotel.

Virginia Beach and/or Ocean City, NJ

Pros:
Neither Patrick or I have been to Virginia Beach and we love exploring new places
We do love Ocean City and being near a beach
There are so great bed and breakfasts to stay at and we love a yummy (included) breakfast
Big cities like Philly are near by if we wanted to check out a city
Cons:
We'd have to drive and we're looking at a 7 hour drive to Ocean City and an 11 hour drive to Virginia Beach

Miami
Pros:
Neither of us have been there, could be interesting
Cons:
It seems like things are really expensive there and we are on a budget

Vegas
Pros:
The price is pretty good
There are lots of things to do and check out
Cons:
We're not real big gamblers (is there anything else in Vegas besides gambling?)

Jamaica or Dominican Republic
Pros:
All inclusive resorts that include all the food and drinks you could want, as well as lots of things to do
Cons:
A little more expensive than some of the other options, but does include everything

I don't know what we're going to do!  Have any of you been to these places?  Any recommendations on things to do?  Or any recommendations on any other budget-friendly honeymoon locations?  We're always open to suggestions!
