Some pictures

After we saw each other for the first time before going for pictures - there was a "reveal" lol
Cutting the cake - I had just licked frosting off of Calvin's nose :)
First dance, I think
The shoe game - that was hilarious!
Dancing - 2nd dance

Sorry the pictures are a little out of order lol. I will post some of the professional pictures when we get the discs; our photographers said they took about 1200 pictures. I can't wait to see them and start making an album :).

I'm all rested up now, but soooo do not want to go back to work on Tuesday; maybe I'll feel better about it when I get there? lol.

Quick Post

Just wanted to give a quick update, I've been so terrible for going AWOL lately.

The wedding is on Saturday, My Aunt from Cornwall, Ontario Arrived yesterday, and My Cousin from Victoria, BC gets in tomorrow.

Things are a wee bit nuts, we bought our new car yesterday, we ended up with a 2008 Mazda 3 GT. It's the best color, in my opinion, Phantom Blue Mica. It's awesome, we've taken everyone for a spin in it already, I'm so glad we were semi prepared to buy a new car, although the timing could have been better lol.

I can imagine that we'll have to replace our second car within a year or so, it's getting up there in age too - 1994 Cavalier.

I'm still reading all of your blogs, I promise, I'm just not commenting all that much right now.

Oh.My.God.

Question: What are the chances that two cars would crap out on the same day?
Answer: 100%

Yesterday on the way to my Mom's house for turkey dinner, Calvin's car started smoking; still not sure what's wrong with it, it's parked for now.

Calvin had to work 2 hours out of town today, so he took my car; 1/2 an hour out of town, he lost all power and heat. Diagnosis: Alternator.

$400 later, my car has a new alternator, and we're shopping for a 2nd vehicle. We didn't really want to buy the new car yet, but I think we should before winter. So, my partner at the bank is trying to work me out a deal with the Mazda dealership; I'll keep you posted.

I also felt kind of uncomfortable today in my new suit. The blazer was fine, but the pants are a bit tight around the waist. I'm thinking of 3 possibilities:

1. PMS
2. I don't know how real clothes fit because all of my others hang off of me like limp dishrags
3. I need a size 9

I dunno. lol.

Cheers!

Wow, was I ever MIA

I have no excuse, I've just been paying less attention to blogland and getting more sleep lol. This is a good things post, I'll make is short and sweet:

• I was 143 this morning
• I won the work challenge - still waiting for my money!
• I bought a new suit yesterday, the TOP and BOTTOM were an 8
• 12 days until the wedding

I'm still in shock about the suit. Granted, all of my size 10 stuff is hanging off of me, but I never would have thought that I could wear a size 8 jacket. The only reason why I took an 8 to the change room and not a 10, was because they didn't have a 10 lol. I'm extremely happy about this; one of my clothing goals was to be an 8 in dress clothes...scratch that, maybe I'll be a 6, I still have some weight to lose :).

Happy Turkey Day!
