I just discovered a scar on my ring finger

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I spent the majority of today ripping out broken zippers from a bunch of dresses. While it was mostly relaxing and made the time go buy quickly, by the end of it I was so bored with ripping zippers I wanted to scream. There were probably a million more important things I could have done today, alas I had to de-zipper dresses. But anyways.

I had a horrible sleep last night. My stomach was upset and I couldn’t find a comfortable position. I got up to go to the bathroom at around 2:30 and when I got back to bed Chad had cuddled up to my side of the bed leaving me with 6 inches to sleep on. Every time I get up in the middle of the night and come back to bed he somehow realizes I’m not there and then takes over my side. If he wasn’t so cute I’d poke him repeatedly.

My Dates

When I fell back alseep I had a dream that I was Monica from friends (becuase in reality I am) and I was dating Pierce Brosnan but he was in his late 70s. He was still super hot but really really old and wrinkly. I kept calling him Bond. He had a 7 year old daughter who would follow us. We made out but it was kinda creepy because of how old he was. A little odd.

I have no idea why I had a dream about him or what it meant. The last thing I watched before going to bed was Band of Brothers and Seinfeld so I have no idea were Pierce Brosnan fits in.
He is pretty hot but I’m a little creeped out.

Eye Candy

This weekend was calmer then others. We had family dinners both Saturday & Sunday night but they didn’t run late and we were able to make it to bed fairly early both nights. It was nice not to be rushed through the weekend while at the same time getting things done.

Chad 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.

Each little thing we add to the apartment makes it feel more and more like home. Hanging things on the walls, be it art or photos, is vital to making a space feel like a home. I don’t like apartments that are stark with no personality and nothing on the walls. They don’t feel like home. They feel like a temporary space for living.

Speaking of photos, here are a couple from our Italian Thanksgiving at my Godparents house this weekend.

My hair is getting super long. Longer then its been in years. I’m thinking about getting its trimmed and possibly highlighted in the New Year. I’m not quite sure what to do. I wasn’t going to get it cut until Marlee pointed out that the tips of my hair are most likely 4 years old. Shes probably right so its probably time to get them snipped off. Having hair on my head thats been there for 4 years is weird to think about. The oldest hair on Chads head is 4 weeks.

I need to get my eyebrows done

It’s 4:00 on a Friday and I am fading fast.

I 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…

I feel gross and I can’t figure out if thats because I am starving or if its because of the fruit source bar I ate. It looked a little funky but maybe thats what it is suppose to look like. How should I know.
Chad is ignoring me for Pat and Guitar Hero. Damn him.

Don’t say Shut Out.

My 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.

Main Eaters

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.

Blues

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.

Bright Colours

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.

The meal I slaved over

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.

Bowl Heads

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.

Fire

If 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?
