Starting this blog today with a new look and a new attitude. I am trying to do too much. I have my normal 8 to 5 job, GA, and a wedding I’m trying to plan. With the combination of all of these, I’ve realized I’m at the end of my rope. I’m desperately trying to not become a bridezilla, but what I am noticing that all my stress from the other areas of my life is getting focused there.

This is my statement that this will stop today. I will not let all my stress come out at my wedding planning. Yes, there are issues with our planning so far (the florist won’t respond to my emails). But we have a honeymoon planned, we have tuxes now (even though the guys can’t try them on yet) and we have most of our vendors. I am meeting with most of the vendors next week and then we will be meeting with the rest the week after. So things are going well.

GA has a certain level of stress. E3 is coming up. I’m trying to get business cards for my staff that is attending. I am making appointments and also went to some preview shows this week. But most of the GA stress has been from recent turnover. Luckily we’ve been able to get amazing new staff rather quickly, but I’m still trying to observe how I can treat my staff better and get them some things we need to keep them involved and being a part of GA.

Yesterday I went on a bar crawl. While fun, I found myself upset for taking a full day away from all the stuff I have to do. Why do I feel guilt for going out? Don’t I deserve a day off too? This is what I have to start to understand or I’m just going to burn out.

There are so many exciting things on the horizon. I just hope I can stay sane enough to enjoy them! ^_^
