March Already ?
Copied from my blog
So I turned around and realized it’s March 7th now, and it’s been like, two weeks since I posted. The only avid reader of my blog that I know of was visiting sailorfrag last week, so I doubt anyone has noticed my lack of posts. But just in case, here’s a post!
Update on the wedding: Got prices from florists (King’s, Ryerse’s, Blissful Blossoms, Landon’s, Superstore, Sobey’s, Passmore’s, Gerry’s, Nicol’s, Walter’s, Ray’s…). 5 of them are pretty much the same price, and have nice people. The others were mean or ignorant and very expensive. Of the 5, one florist stood out as just being … exuberant! So I think Flowers by Gerry it is :D
Also looked at hairdressers. Found a nice person in town that works out of her home that can do it, so now I just need to decide between her and Gabby. But Gabby hasn’t gotten back to me in a while, and I don’t know what sort of $ she’d charge. So I’m a bit uncomfortable about that.
And a girl I went to high school with has gotten into making and decorating cakes, and is absolutely phenomenal, and is available to make the cake for the wedding, so now I want to find out her style and pricing, and may switch to her from Lindsey … we’ll see.
Saturday I’m meeting with some friends of sailorfrag's and mine (kopah) to borrow some things, and Sunday I’m meeting with the photographer and videographer in Waterloo. Saturday the 21st I’m heading to Toronto to meet the people we are thinking of ordering the rings from, to check out the rings and stuff and possibly order them.
Oh, and I’m still in school too btw. Got a few marks back on assignments, all in the mid - high 80’s, so I guess I’m still doing alright despite my increasing failure at doing the course work. Apparently it’s all pretty much knowledge I had before, this degree just gives me a piece of paper to prove that I know it.
I discovered a job on the NAFTA agreement that I think I should be able to do fairly easily (note the ‘think’ there) - Technical (manual) Writer. And Google has a job opening. So, hopefully once I get my degree, I’ll be set! Pay back the government, and yeah!
Also, sailorfrag and I have been thinking about purchasing a mobile home. With lot rent, it would come out to about what we’re paying now in rent, only mortgage payments are tax deductible, and at the end we can sell it and recoup some of what we paid out, instead of losing it all like with rent. So, that’s a possibility.
Also, found a link to my dress! Thumbs up for the wayback machine. If you’re interested (web.archive.org/web/20071024115911/http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp)
My dad’s 50th birthday party was absolutely awesome. He and my mom sort of knew I was coming, so that was a pleasant surprise, but not a big shock. However dad knew absolutely nothing of the surprise party. The look on his face when he walked into the restaurant was just priceless.
And the cake was pretty tasty too!
He also became a Canadian citizen on Thursday morning, so now he won’t get stopped at the border when travelling to the US! So maaaaybe I won’t either ? hmm. We’ll see!
I think that’s all for updates for now …
Cheers!
