did I forget to mention?

Last week ABL and I went to dinner for one of his friends birthdays. Was an awful awful night :( there were just some people there that I find incredibly boring and I had a tooth/gum ache from HELL. Anyway, prior to this we went to the shops because we were early.. and I walked past one of those tiny tiny Asian clothes stores and saw this hawt red floral mini dress.. there were not many people in the store so I decided to take a chance hehe and try it on.. and it fit.. and it's hawt lol. 3/4 sleeves, chiffon-ey, red with tiny flowers, very short and tiered in the skirt.. and only like $26!! wack-a-flaming-do! Almost made up for the bad night. ALMOST.. heheh.



so anyway, work has been busy and nights have been spent either viewing vogue forums, watching and or obsession over ANTM or downloading and watching Melrose Place season 4 and Rock of love season 2. I looooove rock of love... i loove bret michaels. It concerns me a little though how trashy these woman are! There is a french one in the house and she looks kinda of like that Lola Ferarri? and the way she speaks geez.. this thick french porno style accent. And she is all for "well I am a stripper and I have my tits out so I am the best and that's what Bret wants" Well, he picked Jess over Heather last year and that didnt work so maybe he is looking for the strippery kind this season. It seems he is wanting more of a party animal from the two eps i have seen so far. See how serious I take rock of love? Sad isn't it?

Haha i just disapeared for an hour, off looking at pictures of all the rock of love 2 girls and seeing who won lol- i can't wait for these torrents to download i must know now now now! lol Ambre won... she was not that skanky but not overly fantastic anyway?! Probably more suited than Jess but, I mean she was so so not his type! Anywhoo..

Have to go with BM1 into the city tonight for her farewell drinks.. so not interested.. will be good to see of the old workie people but! Funny anyway! but am scared of spending lol... $50 tops!

Anyway, work is getting a bit crazy, so will talk later

is it or isn't it?

Not really sure if today is good or not?

Woke up a little late after a semi early night- not early enough!
Rolled over and asked ABL to drive me to work. he said yes.

30 mins later I went and woke him so he could have 30 mins to get ready before we had to leave. He then reminded me that he was training it in and I was like WTF? But you said you would drive me etc etc blah blah. He couldn't remember the 30 mins previous convo. Useless.

We then had a tiffy, he said he would drive me but he didnt want me to get into the habit of it.. I reminded him that in the last 2-3 weeks this would be the third time he had driven me. And then I cried lol. Coz he was being mean. We kinda made up on the way to work but I was angry as!

But the day has improved since then. I mean, work is being OK and the day is traveling well.. it's already 1:45pm... :-)

Tonight will be;
  • Doing some washing
  • A quick tidy up
  • MAYBE changing linen
  • Making canned spaghetti on toast
  • Perching and watching Australias Next Top Model.

God I'm dull- I love it :)

Last night we went to the reception place for the wedding and met with Debra the co-ordinator- she was AWESOME she had so many good things to say, questions I had not even thought on, etc etc. It was great. And we put down a deposit which is great!

In BAD news.. i have a bit of a toothache.. just to add to my issues. And i feel yuck that I have just ADMITTED that! Its not OVERLY offensive just a bit of an ache. But it sucks. Dentists equal costs I have not allocated for. I bought a V and Cleo at the servo this morning so that's todays budget gone. But I only spent $2 yesterday woohoo.

STOP the ride I want to get off



God I am so exhausted. It's Monday morning. 9:18am. And I am ready for bed. It is taking a lot of effort to keep my eyes open. I actually slept in this morning and was going to call in sick.. but you know, I figured I would do the right thing. Mah.


The reason I slept in was because I didnt fall asleep until close to 2am and my alarm is set for 5:45am. The reason (s) for my late night are as follows;


i feel like i didnt have a weekend- saturday morning was doctors and ultrasound (yeah so I have gallstones btw) then dandenong to the wig shop then to mums to see how dad was with ABL (dad had a pacemaker put in last week, is doing fine but!) then to parkmore with mum to hang out with her. Was fun but even there I was stressed as I had things to do; buy ABL's oldest daughter a birthday present (didn't, didnt find anything) look again at the wedding cakes, check out the sales at Crossroad, have my optical appointment etc blah blah. so didn't get home until after 5pm, then relaxed for a bit then had a few drinks and spent like 2 hours looking nice (in skinny jeans, new black knee high boots, black floral long top/mini dress) and then got there just after 10pm.. and instantly wanted to go home.. wasn't in the mood, didnt want to drink or be sociable etc etc... so we stayed till about 11:30am and then nicked off... got some Mcdonalds on the way home.. naughty naughty.... got home, watched TV, started to watch Poltergiest on TV and then fell asleep about 3am....


Sunday, BM2 (Bridesmaid 2) picked me up at 11am and we went to DFO- found some great stuff at Garfunkle but it was hard without BM1 to buy anything... just to avoid wasting time I am not doing anymore BM dress shopping with one of them.. needs to be both of them! But in good news, I bought my wedding earrings- gorgeous silver dangles with green stones from Garfunkle. I also found necklaces for ABL's girls- delicate silver chains with tiny diamante hearts. They had really nice BM dresses there, as above. We also popped past Dusk, which had really nice wedding cake knife and server (? is that what its called?) for $24.95 on sale which was GREAT so may pick this up next weekend if still there. They also had cute rought iron lanterns for $9.95-$14.95 each... and Lincraft had the clear glass little vases with the narrow tops for about $5-8 each that I was after! After this huge shopping trip I was exhausted so just watched TV, had dinner (which ABL thankfully made) and before I knew it it was 11:30pm. And I then jumped on the internet to check out more weddingy things.. then it was almost 12am.. so I called mum for the nightly chat and had a smoke.. then it was just after 12am. Then I washed my face, toned, brushed teeth, moisterised... then it was 12:30am. Then I got the cat in, jumped into bed, set alarms.. and it was 12:45am. Then I read for a bit, begged ABL for a quick shoulder rub as felt very tense..then it was 1:30am.. and I think I feel asleep about then? Jeez.
I tell you what- I am a little stressed re the wedding and I have not been eating as well as I should. Add onto this dads surgery and my stupid gall stone collecting gall bladder... I am scared to tell my boss I will need time off for surgery for this as I also have asked for a week off in December for a honeymoon (although we may wait till after christmas for this, since the wedding is so close to christmas and we can use our "wishing well dosh" for the honeymoon.. but I have only worked here since we moved out this way 2 months ago! Too much stress going on! I need an extra carricular activity! At least this job is so not stressful compared to CN but maybe if work was busier it would take my mind off the wedding and stuff- I mean, I have totally had time this morning to clack up this post plus check the Vogue Fashion Forum. Lol.
Maybe I will focus on exercise. I have been lacking in that area since we moved. At the old place I went to the gym a fair bit. I do not want to do this now as I am saving every second cent but I can easily walk the dogs at night or do something? I have a yard now woohoo.
Anyway some good things so far today;
the limo man emailed me and said an hour should be fine- so thats $200! Compared to the $600 quote I got last week and nearly vomited. This is great news. I have asked him to book us in.
The wishing well wedding people emailed me and said they can sell me a small birdcage for the wedding dosh for $25. They are closed till august but thats ok. this is great as I had allocated $50 to this but even thought that might not be enough?
Things I need to focus on this week!
Eating well
Doing some exercise
NOT stressing re things
only spending $50 till friday lol
Hmm. we will see. mah.
