Yes yes, I know.

I said that I was going to keep on top of this blog and it's been 9 days since my last post. But I have excuses!

1. My lovely and wonderful friend was here visiting me from far away lands! Oh, it was so nice having her here for those few days. I miss her.

2. I was in a car accident several weeks ago and while my back was getting better, I had a set-back this past weekend. So sitting at my computer isn't all that comfortable.

See! Those are pretty good excuses!

Anyway, I had figured out what I was going to write for my next post (i.e. this one), but I've decided to hold off until later.

I have news!! YAY!

First off - I just bought my wedding dress!! Holy shit on a stick - I did it!! I finally decided. I said "fuck the back fat, it's not that bad" and I went for it! So, at Christmas, when my folks come back from visiting my sister, I will have my dress in my hands! YAY!!

Now I must stop looking. I seriously have to stop looking.

The next bit of news - I had an interview for a management position last week and I have another one on Tuesday! Right now, it doesn't matter to me if I get it or not, the fact that I got the interview makes me so happy. Yes, of course I would like to get one of the positions. But if I don't, that's ok. I love my current job, I'm appreciated in it (my boss was not very happy when I told her I got the interview), and I'm going to have more opportunities in the future.

So there's the good news. Now for the bad news...

In my first post I mentioned how I breathe curling (you know, the sport). Well it seems that my curling dreams are on hold for the time being. Because of my previously mentioned accident (and set-back), I'm not going to be in good enough shape to curl in 6 weeks time. Sad. I'm very upset about this, but I have to take care of myself. And if were to go back, and I happened to slip on the ice, then I would just end up back to square one again. So I'm going to hold off until after Christmas. Unfortunately, that means that I lose my team. Sigh. My heart is broken.

So... anyway... I can't end on a low note, because that would suck.

YAY DRESS! YAY INTERVIEW!!

Oh and the kitties are no longer fighting! All is well again, they are even cleaning each other. It's so cute.

Stay tuned for: Stop-motion cat photography! (I'm serious)

My first post

Hello! My fiancé (hereby know as LN = Lovable Nerd) has been telling me for a while now that I should start a blog. So this is my blog.

So what's interesting about me? Well, I'm getting married in Oct 2012. I've been a wedding FREAK for a long long long time, and now I'm actually planning my own! To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

I love cats. I have two kitties, aka snuggerwugs, or as LN calls them: Asshole and Fatty. He secretly loves them.

I am a DIY fanatic! I love to make crafts and I'm doing a lot of the wedding stuff myself.

I love curling. No, not my hair. The winter sport where you throw rocks down a sheet of ice and try to score points. Yup freakin' LOVE IT! I've been playing for most of my life and I'm now also the VP of the curling club. During the Brier, the Scotties, the worlds, the Olympics, I like to scream at the TV. For some reason I think it helps. LN retreats to the computer room during these times - understandably.

I like to take pictures of mushrooms and graveyards (Oh! mushrooms IN graveyards, OR the less common: mushroom graveyard...!). I also take a lot of pictures of my kitties - LN calls it "stop motion cat photography". He is correct.

So I hope you like reading my blog. I will try to post on a regular basis. Seriously - I'll totally try! Success guaranteed! *Guarantee is not a guarantee*
