Eeks! No post for June yet?

Time: 11:00am
Mood: Happy
Song of the moment: Keane - Crystal Ball

I was flipping through my friends blogs today and I thought I would just see when my last post was...man I haven't posted for June yet? :S

Things have been pretty busy lately. My parents took off to Alaska/Yukon/BC for 3 weeks (they're not going on a cruise... they're doing the whole driving around, hiking, camping stuff.. yeah.. my parent's are your typical Chinese parents!) Jimmy has been staying w/ me to keep my company and to help me around the house. There is so much to do when it comes to upkeeping a house! It's exhausting! :S So this is what is to come eh? eeks!

We recently moved offices @ work.. so now I work closer to the mall.. and an IKEA! Woohoo!! I really got go there one morning for their $1 breakfast! Mmm cheap food! Can't beat a nice breakfast for $1! There are pros and cons to my new office. Pros: it's new, it's clean and my desk is right by a huge window (it's great.. and distracting!). Cons: takes me 5 mins longer to get to work, 15 mins longer to get home, I hit crazy traffic both directions AND I have to keep driving back to my old office location because that's where the lab is. I usually try to scam my way into finishing my day off at the old office location. Saves me a good 15 mins when I have to leave!

It's strange. With this new office, we are sitting in cubicals, yet I find my coworkers and I socialize more. I guess that makes work more enjoyable :) We even have a soccer office pool going (which I joined! I don't know much about soccer but I'm not doing too bad! I know I'm not going to win... but meh! It's fun trash-talking everyone! hahha). We talk about soccer CONSTANTLY. And convieniently, we work just down the road from this stadium bar. It's great because we can totally just sneak off to watch the game there, meanwhile people at the office just assume we are at one of our plants or at the lab.. haha :D

Wedding plans have been going alright. I'm trying to book a DJ now... it's tough! I'm torn between 2! :S I want to make a decision by this weekend. Planning stress has eased up a little now that Rita's back *yay*! She came over the other night and she helped me conjure up ideas. It was fun! So much to do while she is here though.. I even booked a week off in July to do wedding stuff w/ her.

Exciting.. next week Jimmy and I have our first out of 2 decor planning appointments with our home builder! This appointment we are choosing electrical and structural options. *woohoo!*
