Too-Much To-Do List

      I'm sure I'm not the only person who lays in bed and night before going to sleep making mental to-do lists.  Well recently all of my pre-sleep lists have been wedding related.  I finally found enough motivation to make a 'hard-copy' of my list and it was overwhelming to say the least.  I couldn't believe how much I have to do still.  Anyone else feeling this way?

      And since I'm have to be extremely ogranized (all or nothing I guess) I even sorted everything by deadlines.  Since I've made my list I've been able to cross of a grand total of 2 things!  WHOO!!  Anyway, here it is.

P.S. Sorry about the double bullets - not sure why that happened.
