Eye Candy
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Chad is going to Calgary this weekend so it will be weird going to sleep and waking up with out him there. Not sure how that will go over. I always sleep better when I know hes right there beside me. It makes me kind of dread him going to Ottawa.
I’ve started writing all the Thank You cards from the wedding. I really want to get them done and over with so I don’t have to worry about any more wedding stuff. We figured out which pictures we are going to put in with the Thank You cards but my Mom keeps changing her mind as to which one SHE thinks looks best. Its making me slightly mental because really, does it matter what picture we send to people? If they dislike it so much they can go print one on their own.
I printed off a couple of the professional wedding pictures and figured out a pretty cool display with them all. I organized 7 frames on one of our walls and made a kind of Photo Feature Wall. It makes me really excited every time I look at it. I want to try and add to it as time goes on but I think Chad will put his foot down and not let me make anymore holes in the walls.
Speaking of photos, here are a couple from our Italian Thanksgiving at my Godparents house this weekend.
I need to get my eyebrows done
Friday, November 14th, 2008I have to rush home to hopefully dinner on the table.
Then its Scotch Fest time. Yes its that time of year again. My 3rd visit to the house of Scotch. A bunch of the guys were suppose to join us but tickets sold out before they got the chance. So its just Chad, Pat & Me. And I don’t even drink Scotch, so its kind of a waste. OH WELL. I’m their DD which is the most important thing.
I am hating my face right now, but just the right side. I don’t understand where this came from. I feel really ugly every time I look in the mirror. Sorry, its just really pissing me off.
YAWN. Omg I am so exhausted for some reason. Physically, mentally. I just want to sleep.
My hair is all over the play. I look like a drugged out model. Its got a very odd consistency hap pening. I wish you could see it. I ve been obsessingly cutting off all the blond hairs.
Yesterday I was requested to work with Alicia to put together some outfits for our website. You know that just turned into us having way to much fun. We got the job done but not with out goofing off a bit. I mean what do you expect. Here is the result…
Don’t say Shut Out.
Thursday, November 13th, 2008My face is turning into a Pizza. It became more evident to me today when Alicia took pictures of me. It’s quite unfortunate. That and my hair dried really funny the last time I washed it and it just looks weird to me.
I made a Red Pepper, Feta Cheese, Roasted Pin Nuts dip last night & a Bacon Spinich dip. The Bacon Spinich dip when like mad. Dario said there wasn’t enough bacon in it. I said there was too much. It took me two hours to make everything but it was worth it and I enjoy it. I’m Italian. I am suppose to offer you way too much home made food when you come over. It’s in my blood.
The Canucks lost but then again they ALWAYS loose when we all get together to watch the game. We jinx them. We get so excited to finally all get together and eat food and watch them game and then they flush it down the toilet for us. Not cool.
It was nice to finally get together with Sonia, Juliana, & Darren though. We don’t see them enough. I think we might crash there football party this Saturday.
I think I am going to go home tonight and eat the rest of the red pepper dip and then puke my guts out because of how rich it is. Ha.
I was so exhusted by the time everyone left yesterday. Thankfully I did all the dishes and stuff before so I don’t have a pile waiting for me tonight. I always dirty way more dishes then I need to when I’m making food.
I’ve totally lost my train of thought in this post. But thats ok. You won’t read it anyways.
I’ve gotta go to Costco tonight to pick up some pictures and apparently go for a Contact Fitting even though I’ve worn contacts before. I don’t understand. All I want to do it buy a pack from them but instead I have to go through this whole process of getting fitted and getting checked out and yadda yadda. I’m kinda annoyed. Its going to be a mad house trying to get there at this time.
Lets hope I am in and out.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008If I don’t blog first thing in the morning it takes me forever to finish a post mid day. The mornings are quiet. I get here half an hour before anyone else so I always use that time to catch up on emails and organize myself. Its also the perfect time to blog even though I rarely take advantage of that.
I’ve also got into the habit of drinking a cup of Earl Grey tea every morning when I get to work. It all started back when we had no heat and I needed it to warm me up. Now I just like it as a nice cozy treat in the morning.
As much as we in Vancouver are used to rain every day of our lives, this whole gloom and doom weather we’ve been having the past few weeks has affected me much more then usual. Yesterday felt weird. It felt like a Sunday but it was a Tuesday. It totally threw me off balance. Monday didn’t really feel like a work day because I knew I was getting Tuesday off so it feels like a really long weekend with Monday missing. I don’t know how to explain it. Yesterday just felt depressing. I think that’s what I am trying to get at.
I’ve never missed Summer so much in my life, and I am not a Summer person. I am much more a Fall and Winter person. I guess this year just felt like a bust. One because Summer came so late, and Two because I felt like I barely got to enjoy it with every moment of my life being consumed by wedding stuff. I hope next Summer is much more eventful. I really miss it being light out until 9pm.
Its Hockey Night at the Ciavarros tonight. I’ve made one of the two dips I plan on serving tonight. I slightly made a disaster while doing it. I mixed everything in my little hand held food processor thing and it just barely fit all the ingredients. Like I said. Slight disaster. It was 8:30 by the time I finished the first dip and the second was way more complicated so I saved it for tonight in my mad rush to eat dinner and set up the place before everyone comes. The house is pretty clean though.
I love being a hostess.
Oh and I still have Darios Birthday pictures to post. Mental Note that one. Oh yea and the Banquet. What have I been doing with my life?
