I AM GETTING MARRIED IN EXACTLY THIRTY DAYS AND NOTHING IS DONE

Okay, not nothing, the floral arrangements are just beautiful!! And my dress, my dress is sooo pretty.

BUT NOTHING ELSE

If anyone can give me a little bit of spare time to help with something, anything, whatever you can, just let me know, it might be as small as addressing invitations but oh my god I definitely can't do all of this!!

And Brian's just not that organ

It's sure been busy!
Work is constantly busy now, with all the smart men ordering their flowers for Valentine's Day now! Some of the arrangements are beautiful, they really are. And some blokes are spending a lot of Galleons and Sickles on their girls! It's very sweet to see. My favourite ones to do are the ones that fathers are ordering for their daughters, because those are just going to brighten their Valentine's Day, even if they don't have a Valentine. They get a lot of pink and white flowers, unless they ask for something different. We have this one that's been cultivated to grow with petals lined sort of in silver, and it's perfect, too. It's kind of weird, though, when a bloke orders flowers for someone who clearly isn't his daughter, and can't be his wife because the card is addressed to a totally different last name, and It's not supposed to be my business, I j

Stephen's birthday was the other day, and I watched Lisa while he went out for the night. I don't know where, or with who, but he stayed out all night! I didn't know he could. And he's not telling me anything.
If anyone has any details, I want them too!

I stay so busy, I keep misplacing this thing, and I need to stop doing that!

Tomorrow's Lisa's third birthday. That's right, THIRD. I can't believe she's that old already! Stephen seemed a little reluctant but we planned a little party, probably got her more presents than she needs, but we're saving some for Christmas. Just not a lot. But oh, it's going to be brilliant. I'm making a cake tonight, so we'll see how that goes. The flat might end up as a mess, but who knows. (Sorry, Brian! Hope you weren't going to visit!)

The greenhouses are handling the majority of the flowers for both the Malfoys' Snowball and the Ministry's party, which means we're so busy. But let me promise, the flowers for both parties are going to be so gorgeous! The Ministry has some AMAZING poinsettias and they sparkle some and it's going to be so pretty to see. I'm jealous of everyone who gets to go!

OH and one last thing, Brian and I picked March 30 as our wedding date, and it's actually coming up quick! I thought about having a small ceremony, just family, but that's boring, so we'll do a bigger one with friends and everything. Which means I need to do flower arrangements and pick bridesmaids and find dresses and everything! It's work, but it's fun work, and we all know Brian won't be able to do too much of it. And it's going to have to be a mostly-Muggle wedding, so everyone can get ready for that!

Okay, it's time to try this cake. If anyone has any advice, I'm listening!!

I've been looking for this for ages and I just found it when I went over to watch Lisa for a bit! She took it with some of her colouring books, I guess, and she scribbled all through it but she didn't know so it's all right. She just wanted something to do. I keep telling Stephen that she needs more friends her own age, because I know it's great that Mum watches her all of the time so she sees her Nana, but she really needs more friends!
This weekend's okay, though, because Adelaide decided to has her. She sh So while she's gone, I'm trying to convince Stephen to go out and maybe meet someone new! It's not like he's old, but he keeps dragging his heels, and he's not going to meet anyone at the newspaper.

Someone came into the store the other day and mentioned that all the kids are almost home from Hogwarts and I guess they're right! I haven't been in school for five whole years, and it sounds impossible! But since it's been five whole years, I was thinking that maybe Brian and I should pick a date for the wedding, so I'm thinking next spring. And if anyone has reasons why it shouldn't be, tell me, otherwise we're going to pick a day!

Enough time in here, we're already starting to get things together for the big order we get at the end of August for the Malfoys' ball!

So. Stephen's all moved in and starting to settle in. Little Lisa, who is fully two now, my goodness, she's still finding it sort of rough. She's spent the night here a few times and she always wakes up asking for her mu confused as to where she is. She'll adjust, but it'll take her awhile. She's usually over here on Sunday, because Stephen spends the whole day cooking and freezing food so that they eat more than just takeaway during the week!
London will be good for her. I'm sure she'll love it here. I just hope she's mag

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I wanted to do something for Lisa. Just because she's getting old enough to understand a few small things. Would some chocolate be too much? Just a tiny bit, or a candy heart, or something similar.

Work's been busy recently. I'd chalk it up to Valentine's Day, but I'm fairly sure that most people who buy flowers for that day just visit a florist and not us. Maybe not, I'm not sure. Either way, usually I have a lot of down time when I'm working the front counter but not so in the past few weeks! Maybe everyone just wants to have a greener garden as soon as possible. Who knows.

Also, Lys's Romilda is one of the prettiest baby girls that I've ever seen. She's just something else.

I guess I've been a little busy for this, haven't I.

Brian and I are doing well. We were starting to talk about actually getting married instead of being engaged, but we've sort of put that on hold, for now. Just until things settle down.

Lisa's twenty-two months, now, and she's the sweetest little girl you've ever met. I've been watching her a lot recently, because Stephen and Adelaide are just finishing up their divorce. They got married because she was pregnant, no one's shoc He's moving back into wizarding London, with Lisa, and I have no idea what Adelaide is doing. He's lucky everything happened when it did, since London's a safer place to live now and all.

I guess that's it. Again, we've been really busy. Work and Lisa, lots to do.



I hope everyone else is really good.

Lovely weather we're having.

So, Lisa is thirteen months today. She's just adorable, still big eyes and curly hair and talkative, oh my god sooo chatty!

But more importantly, Brian and I are engaged now. He asked me on New Year's Eve, when we were watching the telly just hanging around. We aren't going to get married for awhile, there's no worries, but it will happen! Which is REALLY EXCITING.

I hope everyone else had a brilliant Christmas!

You know, Libby was supposed to be twenty-one today.

I can't believe I keep forgetting to write in here! Like, I mean to, and then things just ... get away from me, and it never happens. But I'm writing now, which is what counts, right??

OKAY SO. I FINALLY TOLD BRIAN. That's right, I finally told Brian all about the magic and Hogwarts and being a witch and everything. It was rough for a bit, but things are really okay now! He even asked if I could move in with him!! So I think things are going to be just okay and fine.

Lisa is still super cute, even if Stephen never comes to visit.

I've been spending so much time with Brian that I have no idea what's going on HERE. What's the news??
