Quick Post
Just wanted to let you know that I am still looking through that catalog. I haven't made up my mind yet what I would like to order. I'll try and decide in the next few days. Also, we went to TJ Maxx yesterday! And I still can't believe you won't tell me anymore about what you and Doug talked about!!!

Just to let you know...
You'll be getting some mail from me! :)
1. The catalog for the "glass" party my coworker guilted me into. You don't have to order anything, I just had to send it to get her off my back. (It is beautiful stuff.. just so expensive!) If you or Desire or anyone else wants something though, don't bother with the order form, just email me what they want and I'll let Dee know. I'll ask Dee, but I think that we decided you don't have to send the book back at all. If you do though, I'll send you an envelope with lots of stamps to send it back in. (It cost a fortune to send!)
2. Your housewarming gift! I know it is late, but I had a hard time deciding what to get you. I wanted to make something special, but I ran out of time. Now I think you'll get the something special for your birthday!
That's all for now! I'm about ready to go home and cook supper. Yuck!

Busy, busy, busy!!
I swear there are just not enough hours in the day. It really seems like since Doug and I moved in together that we have less time instead of more. I thought we'd have more just for the fact that we wouldn't be wasting time driving across town to see each other. Apparently not. Take the next couple of days for instance...this morning I got up early went to Lowe's for my dad's father's day gift and then to wal-mart for grocery shopping. I was supposed to go to the eye doctor, but didn't make it because I had to rush home have lunch and come to work. Then after work tonight I'm supposed to do "girl's night out" with Becky (Doug's sister-in-law). Hopefully we won't be out too late. Tomorrow I have a program at work then after work I'm supposed to have a hair appointment which I need to cancel because we're going to dinner with Doug's family for father's day. Saturday, Doug works until noon, but we have Nate's birthday party at 2 and then possibly going out with Aaron and Lindsey. Maybe I can get something done Saturday morning. I doubt it. Sunday we're off to my mom and dad's. And now I guess I need to take his gift to him early so he can use it. It's a smoker box for the grill. Sometime I need to clean my house and get some laundry done. Oh and we're getting more furniture! Which is fine, except we're starting to fill up (overflow is more like it). And Doug has a hard time parting with any of the stuff his family gives us. So who knows. I think we already need to have a garage sale!

wedding dresses
Now don't get too excited. I'm just looking. Nothing is even close to that!
Here's a pattern my mom picked out. I found this pattern too and I really like it.
I would absolutely love it if my mom made my dress. It would fit exactly like it is supposed to and it would be extra special to me knowing that she made it. She doesn't think she's skilled enough to make an actual wedding dress though. So we'll see. I'll keep trying to talk her into it.

More posting...
I want to download a fun ringtone for my phone. I'm so productive today. My ringtones on my phone suck. If they had on that was just a ring, I would use it, but they don't. So I'm trying to find something cute and totally me.
*Edit*
I got one. I downloaded the Sesame Street Theme song. "Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away..."
:-)
It made me think of calling Big Bird and Cookie Monster!

Finally a chance to post!
Saturday at work again. This is the first time I've been able to be on the internet for more than 5 minutes since I have moved. School's out, so we have been busier than ever at work. It's raining today though, so maybe we'll be kind of slow. Wouldn't that be nice?
Things with Doug are going okay. I think lots of people are standing around waiting for it to blow up in our faces. Just some general impressions I've been getting. Everyone keeps asking me if things are okay and that kind of thing. I'm probably reading too much into it.
My mind has completely blanked. I can't think of anything to post at the moment. I'll keep trying though.

Internet "Window" Shopping
Bored this afternoon so I thought I'd do a bit of online "Don't I wish I could afford THAT!" shopping. Here's what I can up with:
I'm in love with this skirt. I think because it reminds me of little house on the prairie.
These shoes, if I had someplace to wear them, and it I though I could pull them off!
The purse in the picture here. Does that not look like the most ME purse ever?
This book and the rest of the subsequent series.
Totally obsessed with this.
Would love to have this (if my car had a CD player...)
Hmm.. I guess that is it. For now at least!

Notre Weekend Charmant dans Montréal - Continued
Well, it only took me all week to get to this, but here it is!
Sunday we woke up kinda late (10:00 ish) and decided that the order of the day would be to see the Basilica, hit the Musee des Beaux-Art and if we had time, swing by the Biodome.
You know what they say about the best laid plans right?
Leaving the hotel, we decided to take the desk person's advice and walk down a few blocks where we could find "cheap good food" for lunch. Oh, he was right! We stubbled across this little pasta place (wish I could remember the name) where they cooked right in front of you. For the price we would have paid at Fazoli's we got to watch them toss the pasta in the air and catch it in their frying pan! And it tasted great to boot! We decided to eat on the terrace, which actually turned out to be a big mistake. 5 Minutes into our meal a woman yells at us in french. She repeats herself 3 or 4 times before she figures out she needs to speak to us in English. I couldn't understand her, but Josh told me she was asking if we could buy her breakfast. I felt really bad, but just shook my head. Then she asked if I was going to finish my "macaroni". I nodded and she snorted. Josh offered her his french bread, but she just looked disgusted and yelled, "Non!" I honestly though she was going to spit at us or something! Hmph. I still felt bad for her, even though she was such a bitch.
Speaking of bitches... After lunch, we found the metro station, thinking we would take the subway into Vieux Montréal to the Basilica. After consulting a map, we realized that we would have to transfer trains and needed to ask how to do that. Obviously, the most logical thing to do in that situation would be to ask the lady at the ticket counter, but as we approached her she waved us away and seemed fully insistant upon ignoring us. Josh spoke to her "Parlez-vous l'anglais?" "NON!" she yelled and made some very unsavory hand gestures. We made a hasty exit, deciding the metro was not for us.
On the street we consulted our map and set out on foot for Vieux Montréal. It was about a mile and a half away though the walk was actually enjoyable. We stopped along the way at a shop that had a giant Gandalf, Frodo, and Ring of Power over it's doorway. I wish I'd had a camera, I would have taken a picture of it!
Finally, we made it to the Basilica with only minimal arguing (Are we going the right way? I think we should go that way, no this way!) It was even more beautiful than I imagined. Stunning, is a more acurate term to describe it. We sat in one of the pews and tried to imagine what all the figures meant, then joined an english speaking tour that explained them to us. It was neat because the Basilica was only the second church Josh had ever stepped foot in.
Looking at the map outside we realized we would never make it to the other places. It was already after 3:00 p.m. and the Fine Art Museum closed at 4:00. Not to mention it was 2 miles away and we were on foot. Giving up, we decided to just walk and see where it took us. We ended up in the old port region, were we frivolously spent $10 Canadian dollars on a half hour in a paddle boat. Oh, it was worth it though, the cool air from the St.Lawrence Seaway made my head feel better as it was aching from the heat.
After that we slowly made our way back to our hotel, where we watched strange Canadian television (you wouldn't believe what they get away with on their network stations!) and went to bed.
That's it! Whew! Two long posts in one week? What is the world coming to?
