Song of the moment: Muse - Starlight
Happy Valentine's day everyone! And a very happy birthday to my dog Pepper :) He's 9 years old now (I guess it makes him 63 dog years old now.. oh my doggie's a senior! haha).
I gave Jimmy his gift today - it was his v-day/birthday present (his birthday is tomorrow.. he's turning 28! oh my hunny's old! haha! But I still love him to bits!). I bought him a set of cufflinks from Tiffany's (they were bloody expensive but they're sooo nice!!). Just something special he can wear on our wedding day :)
I finally got the dress I bought off ebay! Yippee!! I love it! But my mom thinks it's a bit too plain for a reception dress. Meh.. I like simple and plain :) I think it's the material that's a little off - it's linen. Maybe it would have looked a bit more reception-dress-like if it was made of satin or something. Hm... if it was made of satin it might end up looking like a slip or something. Ok scratch that! haha! I love it, and I'm going to wear it! :D

Ok I'm Officially Obsessed
Time: 10:28pm
Mood: Stressed!!
Song of the moment: Foo Fighters - Best Of You
This song has been in my head since I heard Prince play a cover of it during the Superbowl halftime show. I know... me watching football - hell has officially froze over! LoL
So I've been a little bit stressed lately. It's been partially because of work (I've been getting crazy busy lately), but mostly the wedding stuff. It all started when my parents came back from Morocco. My mom began to ask me about stuff I havn't even thought of yet, or stuff I was planning to think of later on. I want to focus on invitations now. I hope to get the draft to the printers by this weekend. Ahh! I just got to remember to breathe...
So it's official.... I'm an ebay addict! I've bought a total of 4 items over ebay so far - the most recent one was last night - I bought a dress for my wedding reception. The dress is 4 sizes too big for me, but it can be altered! Those seamstresses are geniuses! But it's such a pretty dress.. and I only paid $104CND for it (includes shipping!). It's retail for $425USD, so I got a deal! I'm so excited! Here are so pictures of my soon-to-be new dress:
So as it stands, I've received 1 ebay purchase, and waiting on 3. I'm getting a little nervous about 2 of the items I had ordered... I ordered them the same time as the item I got already. Hm.. still playing the waiting game...
House update: we got drywall up!! It looks like an actual house now! Pictures to follow! I'm so excited!

Genetically Made To Shop
Time: 12:34pm
Mood: Mentally exhausted
Song of the moment: The Killers - This River Is Wild
I've been feeling mentally exhausted over the past couple of days - and it's all because I've spent so much time driving, and working overtime.
I had to head to Detroit on Tuesday so I got a rental on Monday evening. Monday night, I had to drive to the airport to pick up my parents (freedom ends! haha). The very next morning at around 6:30am I headed out to Detroit. The plan was, I would drive to Detroit, meet my sister for dinner on the way back, then crash @ Laura's in Hamilton (Art's father passed away this past weekend and the funeral was on Wed. morning. The Mac gang wanted to attend the funeral to show our support for Art). As I reached Cambridge, I realized I had forgotten my laptop bag that contained not only my dayplanner w/ the customer's phone number, but documents that I was supposed to submit to the customer. *grr*! So that foiled my plans of staying over in Hamilton (I had to report at work by 1pm - there was no way I could drive from Hamtown back home to pick up my laptop, then drive to work).
I got to Detroit 1 1/2 hours early, so I decided to walk around the mall. Big mistake. I ended up buying stuff from VS, Bath and Body works, and a pair of black dressy shoes from DSW. Oh boy! haha! The mall is a dangerous place! I had my meetings and they ended early - so on my way home I took a new route. To my dismay, I realized 20min later I was going the wrong way. But here's the kicker - I realized I was going the wrong way when I saw a mall I bought my Coach purse from. So I went the wrong way, to find myself at a mall. I must have some internal GPS system mapping out where all the malls are. I didn't go in... I merely exited the highway and turned around. LoL!
I got back home at around 10:00pm Tuesday night after having dinner with Kathy. The next morning, I was headed to Hamtown at 7:30am. So much driving :S
The funeral was a beautiful service full of kind words and carefree stories. It was truely a celebration of his life. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels like to loose a parent. I was so heartbroken when I lost my grandma, but I think this is probably 10x worse. Art and his family will definitely be in my prayers.
