Booo.....

24 Days

2005-01-21T19:53:05Z

Another snowy cold day. -24 with the wind chill.......Brrrrr! Makes for crappy driving and walking. I was planning to walk every day this week, but I haven't been out yet.

Tomorrow is my stagette party. Matt's not having his stag until February. My girlfriends have barely told me anything. Someone will be here to pick me up at noon tomorrow. I have to bring jeans and a strapless bra. They say it's pretty casual and I should worry about anything. I will though. I hate being the centre of attention. But it's out of my hands....all I can do now is smile, have fun and be a good sport for whatever they 'throw' at me.
oh my should be interesting

25 days until Jamaica

2005-01-20T15:28:10Z

God I'm bored. It's snowing like crazy (again) and like -15. Makes for really difficult walking and driving. I'm drinking coffee like a mad women. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself all day.
The house is clean; Matt's at work; TV drives me crazy. The cats had me up all night....so I could use a nap!
I have two dresses that I need to take in around the hips. I should take them to a professional but that's too much trouble.

Speaking of clothes
I'm in love with

too bad it's a gazillion dollars.

Also lovin'

If only I could max out the Visa without Matt knowing.

OR

There's a tunic on J.Crew but I don't like the color.
I'm definitely leaning towards the first one.

Jamaica

2005-01-09T17:24:31Z

36 Days until we leave for Jamaica. I'm so excited I can barely stand it.
Shopping really sucks here so I've put together an order for J.Crew

In blue and pink. I really hope they fit. I know what size dress and shorts I'd need, but bathing suits and a different story.

for Matty

I'll probably end up adding before I put the order through.

39 days until we leave for Jamaica......43 until we get married.
SO much to do..not freaking out, yet.
Went shopping the other day....first time I've been REALLY shopping for myself in over 6 mos, how depressing.
I got a cute Calvin Klein bikini for me, trunks and tees for Matt at Roots and a ton of stuff at La Senza.
Oh my, I can't wait until the Spring stuff is out. Hopefully before Valentines Day.

Uggggg......I am having the hardest time finding an appropriate wedding dress.
I've tried on a 1000..... short dresses but they were too expense; too big; too fancy; too not me!
I'm going crazy and I'm getting married on Feb 18!
I don;t need a fancy dress but I want it to look like more than a plain white dress. Does that even make sense? I don't even know anymore. I've looked at SO many dresses.
I find it much easier to pick out the dresses I hate, then find one simple dress that I want to wear when I say the most important words of my life.
I'm such a bad bride-to-be......I hate planning ahead. I could NEVER plan a big wedding.

I'm trying to plan a simple Jamaican wedding for 23 people and I'm stressing out and procrastinating. I'm giving my mother and my future mother-in-law heartattacks.

I just needed to vent...Matt just laughs and buys me cheezies to calm me down....but I don't need cheeezes right now....I'm getting married in 3 months on the beach...I feel 10lbs heavier then I want to be....and I'm yet to find him a pair of pants to wear and me a dress...
freakin out.....
need to breathe.....10...9...8...7...6...

2004-09-30T00:46:51Z

I've been SO lazy lately.

Mom and I went looking for a wedding dress this weekend and I found NOTHING. They all sucked. If I can't find one this coming weekend in the city, I'm going to ask my aunt Jane's friend to make me one. I

We need to find Matt something to wear too.

I did find a new kitten this weekend---Lu Lu. She's crazy but so sweet, and she looks just like Tissue (who has been pissed since we brought Lu home).
oh well

I love J.Crew!
These are too cute

I wish it wasn't so expensive to ship things to Canada. Thank-god for the final sale and ebay. I have more flip-flops coming. I want to order the all of the swim suits--I wish I knew what size would fit me perfectly.

Speaking of which......get fit/lose weight for Jamaica starts today.
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I think the rain is going to hold off, so I'll walk to the shop.

This is the first day I've had off in 29 days. Sunday's are quiet, so we're not losing much....I hope. No actually, I don't care, if I had to sit there one more day I would have lost my mind.
Matt's working next Saturday morning, by himself so I can go try to find a wedding dress, and the weekend after we're both heading to Hali for the weekend and his mother's going to work for us.
In 169 days we're leaving for Jamaica and I've gained at least 5 lbs since we've had the store. That is depressing. I have some serious work to do.....starting tomorrow. Right now I'm having a yummy Chocolate Ice Cappuccino. The problem is- I don't have the time to exercise or the energy at the end of the day.
But it's got to happen...my clothes aren't fitting right and I will not be seen in a bikini in the shape I am. Now I'm depressed and my cappuccino is making me sick.
On a happier note---Amy and Craig are due in 16 days. I can't wait until baby Hannah is here. Talk about baby fever. Now how cute is this..

at least I'm not alone, Matt is feeling it too.

I'm dying to go shopping. It would help if I had $$. With the store and the 2 weeks in Jamaica, money is tight. I'm currently lusting over

bloomie @ 2004-08-25T07:46:00

2004-08-25T10:49:51Z

We've finally booked our trip. Jamaica ----February 18---we're getting married on the beach!

We have at least 20 friends/family coming with us....I can't freakin' wait.

Sunday Update

2004-07-04T13:10:26Z

It's sad that the only free time I have is Sunday morning. Running this store is sucking the life out of me. It is getting busier, which is good. More money coming in, the more I can spend on better products. I'm trying to find fun stuff to sell, that you can't find anywhere else.

If anybody has any ideas---let me know! I want to sell fun colorful clothing, accessories, house and gift stuff.

I guy selling Life Is Good tees, hats and stuff stopped in last week. I think we might sell it. It's fun and I've never seen it before.

Nagy-art is coming next week---I can't wait! I love that stuff.

Well I should go get ready...later!

Sunday

2004-06-27T10:58:47Z

I've never been so tired......why can't I sleep?

ugggggg....

2004-06-02T19:16:22Z

Where's Matt? I have a four hour drive ahead of me and Matt doesn't want me to leave until he gets home. It's raining and I want to get on the road. Damn conferences...but it is the last one for a VERY long time. Only 7 days of work left, then we take over the store. I'm SO looking forward to it. There is SO much to do.....I need to find clothing suppliers, set up business bank accounts, change the store name, get an HST number, VISA machine, find more investors and $$$, etc...etc...It will be worth it won't it?

Dad told me last night that mom found her dress for MY wedding in Edmonton. Good thing someone has a dress...when I'm I going to find the time to go find a dress. Dear lord...we need to decide on a travel agent and finally pick a resort. Too much to do.

I was just on the anthropolgie site...I love there stuff. I know they sell Tracy Reese, but I don't know if they sell any other brands. I'd love to sell it in my store...but I'm guessing Amy and I would be the only ones interested in buying it. I live in such an unstylish town. oh well.
