I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but since Mike and I got engaged we have been toying around with the idea of save the date magnets. I think they're really cute and a great way to make sure that your more forgetful friends and family remember when you're getting married (especially if they live away and need to book flights in advance, or ( Read more... )

YOU GUYS! My wedding dress came yesterday!!! I couldn't get down to see it until today. It was sent to my parents house because Mike said he really wanted to be surprised, so today was the first day I could get down. I found out that both my parents have bronchitis and are still contagious, so I really hope I don't pick it up from them. I tried to ( Read more... )

So, the mall supervisor position opened up again. The current supervisor is having surgery on her thumb and has to take 8 weeks off (according to her anyway, but she's a pretty terrible worker, so I wouldn't put it past her to lengthen the time she needs to stay off), and so they were looking for a temporary supervisor to cover from now until the ( Read more... )

It's been a few days now since I got back from Grand Falls and the Salmon Fest. Honestly, it blew my mind. I thought KISS last year was amazing, but Aerosmith definitely raised the bar ( Read more... )

Today is a catch-up-run-errands kind of day. I had a doctor's appointment first thing this morning to get all the prescriptions I have expiring soon refilled so I don't have to worry about them when I go away next month. While I was getting ready I realised that I had forgotten to get my bloodwork done in June. I'm supposed to get it done every ( Read more... )

So, I figured I'd just jump right into this. If I let myself get distracted, it might be weeks before I post and I've promised myself it won't come to that unless I'm run-off-my-feet busy.

I'll start with the smaller things. Mike is part of SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) at his college. Over the winter, they put off an art show showcasing local ( Read more... )

At least, I hope to be able to. I finally got in the laptop battery that I ordered, plus a new power adapter just in case. I wasn't satisfied with my other one, to be honest. It marketed itself as a "green" adapter that would shut off when not in use. I liked that idea until I realised that "not in use" included "charging your computer when off/in ( Read more... )

A little known fact about me is that when I hit the legal drinking age, I became obsessed with cocktails. Not necessarily drinking them, but mixing them for my friends, buying books about them, and deciding that I wanted to be a bartender. I have no idea why, as I've never been much of a drinker. I was just fascinated with the art of mixing drinks ( Read more... )

My boyfriend decided to give me my anniversary present early. He was too excited to wait. In the end, I'm glad he gave it to me now. After all the stress from my health issues, I really needed something to cheer me up. Of course, he made me cry.
