I was ten minutes late this morning because I wasn’t feeling good and it took me forever to get my lunch together because I couldn’t think of what I wanted to eat because all I wanted to do was puke. I’m crampy which makes me crabby.

I then forgot that I needed to get gas just as I passed the gas station I was going to fill up at. Then my gas light went on and I started to panic because the next gas station en route is by work and I have a history of running out of gas before getting to a gas station. This made me quite anxious. I made it though and tried to ignore the construction men filling up their trucks and creepily staring at me. I was not in the mood.

And so I am here now and the bright hot sun that was out this morning has now turned into dark grey clouds clearly signaling to me that I wore the wrong outfit today. Just not a good morning.

The only positive note was that I had a very nice and unexpected email from a blogger that made my day.

Last night I cut out some lace trim for my dress but then got distracted by this idea I had for the church programs for the wedding and I was going crazy trying to figure out the layout and everything exactly the way I wanted it. I was also trying to look for some ornate curly scroll clip art pictures to use and it feared next to impossible. I finally found some on this website that supplies clip art for websites and you can sign up and buy the actual things you want which I seriously considered. Remember I am a freak for details. Anyways, I was actually able to copy and paste some of them that didn’t have a water mark on them. My only fear was that because it wasn’t the original file if I tried to re size the art it would become all pixelated. So I kept everything the same size and laid them out like I wanted (they make everything looks quite gaudy but I still like it) did a test print and they were friggin pixelated. Bastards. It doesn’t look HORRIBLE but it doesn’t meet my standards. I’m not sure what to do about it, but after spending 4 hours working on it I’ve gave up for right now.

Also last night I decided to do a little somin-somin for my feets. I read this article the other day that if your feet are dry and you need a quick fix you smother them in lotion, wrap them in cling wrap, put some socks on and let your feet be for the rest of the night. So since I was staying home to obsess over curly scrolls I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do this. Other then waking up at 3 because I can’t stand wearing socks to bed it was a very nice experience and my feet feel amazing today. This is definitely something I will be doing more often!

So now that I’ve gotten all that off my chest here is the real post I was going to do…

Monday night we headed out to Confederation park for some bocce playing. Somehow the boys beat the girls even though Chad usually sucks at bocce most days, he some how pulled out all the stops this time. Here are some pictures and a little bit of their story.

After dinner we headed back to the beach to watch the fire works. They were most lovely and I was most ill prepared for how cold it got. Then there was this kid about 10 feet behind us who was screaming the national anthem at the top of his lungs all by himself. Once he finished that he then began to yell ‘ I LOVE CANADA’ over and over again for the entire time the fireworks went on. I was going to kill him. I understand that you want to be patriotic but stop being so friggin annoying!

Over all though it was very nice to spend the day solo with the husband to be. I was so tired by the end of the day tho, that I passed out in the car on the way home. Thats what you get for too much sun exposure when you are a vampire. Ha.

All the pictures are posted here.

Ok I’m going home. See you tomorrow bitches!

is exactly two months away.

Sweet Jesus.

My Nonna is down stairs in the sweat shop sewing the zipper onto my dress. Shes been at it for 2 hours. Ha. So glad I’m not doing it.

This dress has caused much frustration in the past few weekends. Its not that the design of it is wacky and hard to sew its just trying to fit three layers of fabric to my body so that it looks right has turned out to be next to impossible. Le sigh. It is FINALLY starting to look like it should. Its almost done, but there is a LOT of hand sewing I need to do on it once my Nonna is finished with the zipper.

I also realized that I have the prefect Nip Slip prevention plan. Due to the large scar left from my mole removal on my right breast I have realized that if I can see the scar then I need to pull up my dress, preventing it from falling down or having my barely there boobs pop out. Perfect!

Because I am retarded I have decided to hand bead 12 meters of lace to put on my veil because I like time consuming products that no one will notice. As you can tell I’m all about the detail.

I’ve been to weddings before where it kinda looks like things were done last minute, to me anyways. Like the bridesmaids didn’t wear all the same shoes or colours that were used in once place were repeated else where but where a shade off. I know it doesn’t really matter and that I am most likely the only person who notices these things but its important to me. An so I will spend 10 hours beading lace that me and maybe a handful of people will notice. Plus I am only wearing the veil to the ceremony so its even more pointless to bead it. OH WELL.

Chad has gone to Calgary this weekend. Its like the closer we get to the wedding the less I see him because I am tied away at home sewing this and ordering that for the wedding and I just don’t have the time to go and hand out anymore. I guess that will all change in September.

Ok I got to go try on the dress. Check it.

Oh and if you have an invitation to our wedding and you have not replied yet please do so or I will hunt you down in a fit of rage. Just kidding. But seriously.

Alright, so with a few minutes to spare I will attempt to re capture the majority of the weekend. I hate having this back log of posting to do and no time in which to do it. But people are expecting this post so I better get at it. This is a huge ass post so you better love it ‘D.A.M.M’.

So like I said, Chad decided to go on a one night camping trip on Friday so us girls finally got together for some chit chat and so I could stuff my face with amazing food.

Ok so for the food. Alicia brought home made Salsa, Melissa brought Fudge, Marlee brought Ice Cream Cheese Cake (which we saved for later on) and I did the usual Cheese galore. So friggin good.

We never ended up watching a movie because between the four of us we could not shut up. We chatted about everything and everyone. It’s very interesting to find out what everyones views and feelings are about certain things and its even more interesting when you find out that they match yours. No sluts please. Haha.

The two M’s ended up going home and Alicia stayed and slept over. We were woken up pretty early by the sun blasting through the windows and by 8am the apartment was already getting warm. Really need to invest in some blinds for the sliding glass door.

Saturday day I spent sewing my dress which was very frustrating but thankfully Matt was there even if he did pass out on the couch.

By the time I headed over to the apartment for dinner it was so friggin hot out that I didn’t even want to move. I was super cranky, one because of the dress, two because of the heat, and three because Chad left camping stuff everywhere. I don’t even remember what we ate for dinner.

Post all of that Marlee came over as we were heading down to the one and only Mirage for a friends birthday. Chad wanted to go to see how many douche bags still hang out there. It just so happened that Chad ended up turning into one of those douche bags.

Oh that reserved sign. So like I said, we were there for a friends birthday, a friend who I have know for a million years because of all the Italian stuff we were involved in as kids. I don’t hang out with Juliana every weekend and go to clubs with her all the time which means I don’t know the majority of her friends who she does go to clubs with every weekend.

So before we left I phoned her and she said to head down there early and grabbed the reserved table as she was coming a little later in a limo with all her friends. So we do so and grab some drinks (from the most retarded server ever) and chat chat at the table as we wait for people to come. Out of everyone that was coming that night we knew maybe 3 people.

So everyone shows up, Juliana introduces us to some of her friends and yadda yadda. So the three of us are still siting at the table when one of her friends comes up, looks at the sign, looks at us and says ‘Hi yea, um this table is reserved for Juliana, its her Birthday’. To which I respond ‘Hi yea, we are her friends so we’re allowed to be sitting here’, giving her just as much attitude back. I was like, you srsly think we would randomly sit at someones reserved table? I dunno maybe that something that happens frequently. She looks at us again and then turns around and leaves. 5 minutes later the exact same thing happens with another one of her friends. Again I reply that I am Juliana’s friend and I am here for her birthday as well. I was really starting to get pissed off because I mean I know you have prob. never seen me before but there is a possibility that I know your friend as well.

Anyways we carry on with our night and I get called to the bathroom for a fashion emergency. While I’m in there helping out the first girl who gave me attitude was in there as well with Juliana. She sees that I am clearly helping out and that I obviously know her so she says to me ‘Omg I am really sorry for being rude before. I didn’t know you were Juliana’s friend and sometimes there are these slutty girls that steal our tables here’. To which I replied that it was OK and I understood. Then I thought to myself, did you just call me a slutty girl?

…

Anyways.

Chad was really greasy, surprise surprise.

This is when the Mirage Douche Bag came out. I know its sad to admit but he looks friggin hot here. The only douche bag I could ever love.

M.A.R.L.E.E

I look like a lion or a cat here. I dunno Chad took this picture. Its a little weird.

Juliana the birthday girl!

After the club we went to McDonald’s where I experienced the most amazing cheese burger of my life. 2am drunk cheese burgers are always the best and most satisfying thing in the world.

Sunday was busy with wedding stuff.

We met with our organist and chose our music for the ceremony. That was easy because I wanted it all to be traditional music.

Then we went to get our wedding bands. I ended up going with the one that matches my engagement ring because it didn’t look as small as I remembered and everything else either looked too big or just didn’t match. Chad got his white gold band as well.

Next we went and got our marriage license. Omg so official. That was pretty exciting.

We headed to my parents for dinner and then over to the apartment for cake.

Marlee’s Hang Over Cure. I didn’t have a hangover but it was a million degress outside so it was my heat cure.

Stab Stab.

Just look at that goodness.

There is still the whole cake left so if anyone wants to come over it and help us finish it you are more then welcome.

Our Sunday night crew. Chad and Ryan were going out for beers post this and Marlee and I were there for the cake.

Effing amazing on a hot hot day.

I am actually wearing contacts and non prescription sunglasses in this picture. Thats pretty epic for me.

Chillin with my Gnomies.

Chad doesn’t like this shirt because the pink lace makes me look too childish. I still love it.

Yea ok so thats 3 days so far. I will save Canada Day for tomorrow. I apologize again for not having the time to entertain you all and for having to back track weeks at a time.

Its a busy life I lead these days.

And now its time to go home for a home made meal where I don’t have to do anything. I gotta enjoy these while I gottem!

Yes so I was suppose to blog yesterday about the weekend but I didn’t seem to have a minute to do so and so I was going to do it today but now Chad is running late and I have to help him wash his car (joy) so that wont happen. We are going for a picnic this afternoon and then out to the in laws for dinner and then drinks at the beach in White Rock. I am most excited. If only I didn’t have to wash the damn car. Oh well. I need to paint toe nails before he gets here. Lata.

Happy Canada Day Hose Heads!
