Mood: Missing my baby...
Song of the moment: Mute Math - Typical
Happy New Year everyone! The new year has been good to me so far. I opened the year with a few friends that invited themselves over :) It was just great to open the new year with friends I love, and of course to open it with my new hubby. I'm really enjoying all these firsts as a married couple. And I constantly remind him about these firsts:
"Oh honey it's my first birthday as a married woman!"
"Ooh our first Christmas as a married couple!"
"We've celebrated our first New Years together as a married couple, baby!"
LoL I think Jimmy's getting sick of it!
I'm here in Detroit again - the first time this year. So it begins! The bad part is I really didn't have to come down. My US counterpart called me as I left Toronto that I didn't have to come down. You would think it would have been easy for me just to simply turn around right? It wasn't so simple. I was travelling with a co-worker, and he lives near me so when we travel together he usually picks me up from home. So if I had turned around, that would mean he would have to drive me all the way home (which is waaay east of the city), then drive to Detroit. It just seemed more pratical to go to Detroit for a couple of days to see what was going on.
Yeah... there's nothing going on here. Which is why I'm going to cut my trip short and leave tomorrow! Hooray!
Today was more eventful than most days. My highschool friend Ruby recently moved down to Detroit to be with her husband, so I met up with her for dinner. But before that, I went to Best Buy to see if I could score Guitar Hero III for the Wii. I had went the night before but it was sold out. And guess what? I got the last one!! Awesome!! :D I can't wait to play it!
Ruby and I went out for Mongolian grille for dinner, then headed to the mall to do some retail therapy. We quickly found out we were shopping for the same things (we both need skinny jeans and nice pointy shoes). Man it's hard finding skinny jeans! LoL :D I've been having a really hard time finding pointy shoes that I like. Usually they're either too pointy, or too expensive. Today.. I found a pair of Nine Wests I actually liked! But I didn't get them because a) I had a coupon for that store that I didn't have with me, and b) it was a display pair - the last pair of 7s. I usually don't like buying display shoes :( I just hope they restock those shoes cuz I'm going back the next time I come down!!

2007 - Boy Were You Awesome!
Time: 2:00pm
Mood: Happy!
Song of the moment: Natasha Bedingfield feat. Sean Kingston - Love Like This
Alright boys and girls - another year has (almost) come and gone and it's time for my look back at 2007.
This has definitely been the biggest and happiest year of my life :D I have absolutely nothing bad to say about 2007. I became a home owner (and now I'm poor - ok I guess that's the bad part of 2007 LoL) and I got to see the other side of the world in a different hemisphere (New Zealand) - couldn't tell whether the water drained clockwise or counter-clockwise... it drained so fast! I also did something I said I would never do - skydive!
But the biggest thing by far that happened this year is that I finally married the love of my life, Jimmy :D Nothing can be sweeter than that :D
This year I learned that there is a happily ever after, sometimes bumming at home is a good thing, driving on the other side of the road can be fun, and that I never want to be the type that puts work before family.
Saying goodbye to 2007 is a little sad, but I'm definitely looking forward to 2008. Cheers to 2007, a fabulous year indeed! :)

Hello, Mr. Snow!
Time: 9:50pm
Mood: Hungry (I'm eating cereal!)
Song of the moment: Timbaland feat. OneRepublic - Apologize
Sunday night, we experienced a wicked snowstorm that left a boatload of snow everywhere. Jimmy must have went out to shovel 4 times, and my rental car got stuck in the snow b/c the snowplow didn't plow my street (I'm not too happy about that).
As I mentioned before, I had a rental car this weekend. Last week I was in Detroit from Sunday night until Friday night, so I got to keep the rental car for 2 whole weekends. That means my car was left at my work parking lot. Anyway, because there was a huge snowstorm, my car got burried in snow.. and the snowplow came to clear the parking lot and it plowed around my car, so my car was blocked in with piles of snow.
This is what it looked like when I came to work Monday morning:
Took me 20 minutes clean it off and dig it out with my tiny snow shovel. LoL

My Breaking Point
Time: 11:17pm
Mood: Sad...
Song of the moment: Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin
I experienced a breaking point last friday about this whole travelling business. In the morning, I was told I was to stay in Detroit until Friday - which was ok because we have a deadline to meet. But later that afternoon I get a call from my coworker, asking if I could come in Sunday night, so I can be at the design house bright and early to support our designers. I really have no excuse to say no - so I agreed. I called Jimmy right after to tell him, and just the disappointment in his voice when I told him I was going to be gone for 5 nights really hit me hard. I got really really upset.
We've spent most of our marriage apart. This really truely sucks. I feel like I'm sad all the time because I'm always away from home. Not only do I not get to see my hubby, I'm usually too tired to even go out to see friends. I havn't gone out to see a movie in 4 months! And usually when I do have time to go out, I just want to stay home. I don't think my friends understand that I need time to be home because I'm never home.
*sigh*. I'm sad.....
