Dreaming.

Well blogger world.

I can honestly say i've been pretty busy the last little while. All the wedding planning has come together really well. We had an inital concept of what we wanted and it just keeps finding a way of becoming bigger and better.

But a couple of weeks ago I had my first wedding nightmare. At no point in our wedding planning have I felt stressed its been a VERY fun project to take on.

But it started. I was dreaming and it turned into a full fledged nightmare. The dress I ordered came in and it was a different dress. Not even one I tried on just one I saw on TV and liked. Then the veil came in and it was one of the super long 29 ft ones. But it had the trim of one that I had always thought I would wear in my head. Nothing like the one I ordered. I woke up shaking my head not upset but felt like I had just had the worst nightmare ever.

Last night I had the second one.

The flowers. Our flowers are very plain. Very plain. No flowers as centrepeices just as bouquets which are VERY detailed and the boots and wristlets for certain people. In my dream I was at my cousins house getting ready and I got the call nothing was labeled. The moms got the wrong colored ones. Some were missing. It was all bad.


The funny part is... Our flowers are all done and ordered. It has to be finalized and a couple additional more wristlets to be added but thats nothing.

So tell me blogger world.. WHY am I having nightmares. I'm not stressed so whats the deal. ???

Anyone want to comment on this one ? Ideas?

Tax Season

So Pat and I fired off our taxes last week. With the first time homebuyers tax credit Pat and I are looking at getting back almost 1400$. Thank you gov't of Canada.

So were planning on socking that away into the bank account. We bought new tires for the Jeep last month so that will kinda jack the bank account up a little more.

Were planning some renos to the house for this year. The bathroom downstairs is going under the knife. New shower and maybe a new vanity. The shower stall for sure. Maybe a facelift with new paint and tile ?

The backroom/ sunroom/ mudroom is also going under the knife. Were adding a duct of hot air out there. New windows, dry walling and changing the layout. giving me a bigger closet and better storage for things about the washer and dryer and doors to "hid" it.

So I went to a wedding.

So I went to a wedding over a year ago. I gave a card with 100$ in it.

I was over at my friends house and saw a thank you card from the couple. Plus a photo on the fridge. I've never asked if she sent it and it just got lost but it makes me a little pissy.


End Rant.

must remember to send thank you cards for showers and wedding gifts immediately

I've been a bad blogger lets see where I get with this.

Where in hell have I been ?

Well blogger world I guess I have disappered right off the map!

2 weeks ago today Pat and I decided to officially set a date for Sept 2011. Sept 10th 2011. In a period of 1 week I managed to book a catering company, DJ, Photographer, Florist, Friend to do hair,invitations maker, cake maker, Minister, and find THE DRESS! Last week we spent either stuck in a snow storm or meeting with all these individuals. It was one hell of a busy week. It just continues on and on.

I know there is no chance of getting the February blahs this year. Patrick and I are waaay to busy. If had someone yesterday tell me it takes 2 years to plan a wedding. I wont lie I laughed. Like seriously ??

So theres so much to blog about wedding wise but i'm trying to do it all over at My becoming Mrs. Nelson blog. Check it out. Otherwise anyone know of someone who plays wedding musicy stuff like flute or violen that wants to make some cash in Peterborough County ?

Stay away from the February Blahs. Plan a wedding.

Maniac Monday.

Todays just another one of those maniac mondays!

I spent the weekend visiting family and friends. I somehow somewhere managed to pick up a cold. My nose is running like a faucet and I can barely swallow. So i've been sipping water and had a popsicle for breakfast.

Pat and I were planning on getting married in Sept 2012. But I think were going to try and move it up to this Sept. I realized yesterday its really not that hard to plan our wedding. Call me crazy I know. Its really not. I left the bridal show yesterday realizing that the actual wedding, reception, food, booze, favors etc isnt the hard part... The Dress is.

So thats where I'm leaving you world. I'm going back to the freezer for another popsicle.

All that change.

Next to my washing machine I have an old dishwasher tabs bin. I've been throwing anything smaller then a quarter in it since April. Everytime I clean out pockets before a load of laundry all the small change goes in this container. I took my chunk o- change into a coin changer at the super store yesterday. Since April I accumlated $112. In dimes, nickeles and pennies.

I consider change very dirty and I actually hate handling money. It is quite frankly disgusting. So I have no problem to not waste my time rolling it. I'll pay the 10 cents on the dollar and walk away with my cash voucher for groceries 5 minutes later.

Yesterday I had an entire cart full of groceries that cost me my voucher and a whole 5$. Plus I picked up some cute stuff at the baby section for my fiends baby she had yesterday.

Todays my day off so look forward to a bunch of posts coming up!

Busy Day.

Today is my only day off this week! A busy day it was! So far the house is clean, i've batched cooked chilli and spaghetti sauce and packaged into meal size zip lock bags and frozen. Baked bannana bread for snacks this week. Cleaned out and organized the fridge and freezer took down the christmas lights outside that I can reach with out getting on the roof! Got caught up on laundry towels and clothing. Bedding still has to be done this week! Swept and mopped the floors and did some wedding searching online.

Plus made an awesome dinner!!!! Yummy tomato, mushroom bake with potatos and veggies!

Its been a long day, what did you do???

Vacation.

Well world. My vaction time is running out rather quickly. Christmas vacation you have been mucho grande too good to me. I feel myself wondering where you went.

I started off vacation doing a bit of running around getting some last minute groceries and various shopping done. I turned into a couch sitting movie watching, homemade cookie eating monster. I got engaged to the most wonderfull man I could have asked God for. I am truely blessed with a wonderfull Fiance! Lets face it the worlds blown away with my ring! I've gotten a few dirty looks from older women with how nice it is!!! Bahhhhhhh hahaha. We managed to spend Christmas with wonderfull family and friends.

Between Christmas and New Years we travelled to the far end of the province to purchase some cheap beer at costco. We stopped and over nighted in Cornwall to visit some close friends of Patricks from school. Roger and Julie! Julie is engaged as well so we spent the night swapping wedding ideas, looking at dresses and veils and whatnot online. Ahh wedding planning.

We then travelled onto Kingston, my second home and ment up with some very close friends of mine. Various visits all day and stop in with my favorite hair dresser. Yeahhhhhh new hair cut! Lunch, coffee and dinner with besties!!! We ended up going to lonestar for dinner! Yummmmy! Dwayne accompanied Katherine, Pat and I to dinner! So it was a giant catch up! I missed that girl SOOOO much! We got back to Peterborough not to late picked up the dog from Pats parents and headed home to pass out after a long couple days on the road. I managed to get sick shortly after, lose my voice and sounded like Mickey Mouse when I tried to talk.... The dog wouldant even take me seriously.

So Pat and I then became couch monsters. Cookie eating couch monsters. We've gone through almost all of the new dvds we got on boxing day, plus too many hours of crackdown 2 and donkey kong have been played.

New years came along and we had a night in filled with hours of board games. New years day allowed me to sleep in too late, clean the house up, have dinner at Pats Poppas and come home and have everyone over for the UFC fight. I realized I am no longer the big strong drinker I manged to be in college. No longer can I heavily drink for 2 days in a row. Correct DAYS. 3 PM on... Wine in the afternoon, vodka at night, stupid stupid me. The second night landed me in the bathroom regretting it in the middle of the night. My body was ANGRY at me.

Today dad dragged me all around town for my knowledge in tv's. No fun in the massive crowds. Apparently everyone had the same idea. I ended up finding Dad a tv at work on Rebate. Plus a new PS3. People... If your going to purchase a blu-ray player and you have teenage boys buy a PS3 insted.. They will love you!

Today was the last day of Pats vacation. He goes back to work tommorow. I go back Wednesday! Its been great having soooo much time off together. Makes up for all the over time he puts in during the summer. Hes off to set up the boatshow in Toronto this week. Hes driving wide loads down the DVP to the energy centre for the show. Plus repping there when its set up. Hopefully he can get home for a few nights. My brother is also repping for Hastings Marine at the boat show! Say hi to him and Pat if you make it there!

Well world me and the swollen glads in my throat are off to the couch to curl up and continue watching Wall-e on Disney tonight!

To everyone going back to work tommorow. Good luck, wish me luck Wednesday!
