I have a fetish
I was calling it a disease but fetishes are sexy, diseases are not. I bought 3 pairs of shoes in Calgary on the weekend. How wrong is that? But they are all very adorable. Unecessary but adorable. I got a pair of ballet flats, some red semi-pointy toe flats (for Abby's wedding) and a pair of black peep toe wedges. So wrong, but it felt so right. At least I stopped myself from buying the adorable cropped orange sweater from Guess. So much for saving my expense cheque. I haven't even received it yet and its over half spent.
Jenn, Jamie, Abby and I spent the weekend in Calgary. It was a blast. We went to Spruce Meadows on Saturday and watched the Nation's Cup. Canada won!! I had never been to Spruce Meadows before and what an amazing experience. I will definitely be going back. This time with a camera. Abby had a dress fitting so we got to see her wedding dress. It is gorgeous. The bridesmaid's dresses are beautiful too. Abby said the sweetest thing, she said that she wishes that we had been closer when she was picking her bridesmaid's because she really regrets that I won't be in the wedding. It was really nice. I'm just glad that I'll be there. Their day is going to be so wonderful.
Well at least I hope it is. I'm waiting to hear from Abby or Chris about Caleb's (their son) test results. His one leg isn't growing properly and he had to go today for x-rays and blood tests to rule out cancer. Obviously its a pretty scary time right now. I'm so worried, I can't even imagine how Chris and Abby are. Hopefully they'll get the results soon.
I need to make some sort of appetizers for Abby's bridal shower on Friday. Preferably something cheap and easy. I might just pick up a veggie and fruit tray. Quick and simple. Plus it will give me something healthy to snack on so I can stay away from Jenn's cupcakes. I also need to figure out what I'm bringing to the shower. They know I'm broke so I'm sure they aren't expecting a lot but I'd still like it to be nice. I'll get it figured out.
Owen and I broke up last night. To quote the Special K commercial, "he's just not that into me". Sort of. More like he's a 32 year old "man" that doesn't know what he wants in general, not just in a woman. I'm not wasting any more time with guys that think maybe they're interested in dating me but aren't sure. Just can't deal with that hurt again because it always ends with me getting hurt. I'm disappointed for sure but I'll be ok. I'd just like to find a nice guy who likes me and I like him. I know it will happen when its right and I am totally ok with being single. I'm ready to be part of a couple though and sometimes its hard to be patient. Patience is a virtue I know. And nothing scares off boys faster than the scent of desperation and ticking biological clock. lol.
I was offered my old job back in Nanton but I've decided to stay in Brooks. I spoke with my boss and he has said they are keeping me permanently. They also want to start training me in dispatch. That would mean a big pay raise that would really be a blessing. Plus I actually have a life and am happy here. Nanton can be pretty lonely for me. Its very hard to meet people there. Brooks is a little more open to new people.
So thats life in a nutshell. Some ups, some downs. Overall on the level.
