Family Gatherings

It has been around 3 weeks that I have announced that I am getting married on the 10th of the November of 2012. I have managed to find and book my wedding dress and talk to the priest and arrange when to do the paperwork for the church. However my parents have hardly talked about it , apart from giving me grief, telling me there is no time to prepare, while in fact they just dont want to do anything about it. They want to host this super lush wedding but somehow they want to do it when they want to do it, and with the rhythms that they want to do it and apparently i dont actually fit in their schedule. So apparently it is to hard to plan and implement a wedding in 3 months time.

My mother wants to buy furniture for the new house and move in there and apparently 3 months are not enough. They need to research the venue for the party after the wedding and book it and somehow for them it seems that 3 months is not enough.

I wonder how much time is enough for them. However, i cannot put in words how much I do not care about their point of view and if they will manage to get everything on time.

Tonight, out of the blue my father gathered his part of the family and had a party.Well , nobody informed me of that. Nobody, i just stumbled, literally stumbled on them. And to top it all, when my mother arriving late saw me there, I could see the look of surprise on her face because she simply wasnt expecting me there.

How sad is that... That they can decide and leave me completely out of the picture but however for my wedding three months in advance is not enough time for them to plan. I would accept it if they didnt have the money for it, but that is not the case.... What can I say. It has reached the point beyond absurdity.

It has reached the point where I just have to be able to stay calm for the next three months and complete this wedding as well as I can make it at least for my side of responsibilities.

And that is the invitations, the church, the wedding and that is all.

New collections for spring 2012

Lately, I have read many blog posts where beauty bloggers present the new makeup collections for the spring 2012. I do not know whether they are getting paid for this or not and it really does not matter for me at the moment since I do not think that any of these presenting colllections blog posts actually encourages consumer behavior or not.
What bothers me is that for spring apparently pastel colors are in. I do not understand why spring is connected with pastel colors and why on earth, why should I wear really , and I mean really unwearable green and blue pastel shades on eyeshadows, like they did in the 80s, without the strong pigmentation. How on earth can you do a smokey eye with pastel green? and just because you combined it with a black eyeshadow inside the quad, it does not mean it is wearable. In my opinion, it is plain ridiculous. I have yet to see a proposal from a high-end cosmetic company that actually looks good. And I do not mean the photoshopped fake women we see on the ads , I mean a collection that will actually look good on the average looking woman.Because if I look so good, as they do in the pictures HELL i dont need makeup!

In Greece, we are going through an economic crisis. Apparently this spring we will go through a color crisis as well..... man it will make me laugh....
