Hi all! Yay I got on here a little earlier today. Of course I was hoping I wouldn't have time to be on here since we're supposed to be headed camping. Last night about 11 our friends who are driving us there said they didn't have anything ready, not even laundry done, so it looks like we won't be heading out for another four hours or so!
I wanted to be there by now. Oh well. At least we got to sleep in. My friend had to work until 9 last night so I can see shy she's not ready but I want to know why her fiance couldn't have done stuff to get ready. He gets home from work at 5 in the afternoon! He's one of those guys that won't do any housework etc unless he absolutely has to! Not very fair I don't think. It makes me think about how lucky I am that my sweetie helps out so much -yay!
So I didn't do so well last night. I was so busy getting stuff ready that I didn't eat any supper. Then about 8 I realized I was starving. I looked around for something quick cuz I get the shakes really bad when I go to long. Anyway there wasn't anything that didn't require an hour to make or turning the oven on & it was too hot for that (34 C). So I decided to order something in. Of course I didn't ahve any cash so I couldn't order from my favorite place the Pita Pit, which would've been healthy. So I ordered some pasta and some pizza bread. I ordered a full order without thinking about it, then I ate the whole thing without flinching and it was with a creamy sauce ! Then I ate the whole thing of bread sticks and when the delivery guy got here he gave me an extra appetizer for free cuz it was odered by mistak by someone else. So then I ate that too! I was like an eating machine
Good thing today is a new day!
On the wedding topic, we had five weddings to go to this summer too. None of them were any closer than three hours away and we don't have a car so we had to rent one every time
The one wedding where my fiance was a best man we spent 900 (!) to go there and back, with hotel room, tux, etc. and for that wedding we even went in with a bunch of people and only paid about 35 for the gift. It was horrible. I am all wedding'd out. We were supposed to go to another one tomorrow but we aren't going. Its ok with my friend and they aren't having a supper or anything so its not like they lose money if we don't come. On average we spend b/t $40-60. That's about average in Saskatchewan. For our wedding I don't want people to spend a whole schwack of money. I mean we need lots of stuff but it doesn't really matter. I like it when people go to together and pool their money so then you get a big gift and they probably didn't have to spend as much as they would've if they were buying one alone. We know for sure that one side of my fiance's family is buying us a TV because ours is so ancient and hardly works properly. Its circa 1971! Older than me! They won't have to contribute that much each either because he has 11 sets of uncles & aunts on that one side. And we know that his other side is going in together to get us a little apartment size deep freeze. That will be so handy
I really don't want people to have to spend a ton to come either. We wanted to get married at the beach but that's just not possible so instead we're having an ocean/beach themed wedding and so we're telling everyone that its summerwear-casual. Hopefully they can all just wear something out of their closets and not have to spend a whole lot on their outfit. Speaking of our theme here's a question to ponder-what should the men in our bridal party wear? The women are going to wear sundresses. They guys want to be casual and fit in with the theme but still stand out from the crowd and at the same time not be tacky. They had thought of hawaiian shirts with linen shorts with a linen vest but my future MIL thinks that is "too different" from normal. (She's really conservative) I don't know if I like it for sure either- it might be a little tacky?? So if any out there had great ideas I'm open
I told them that if all else fails we'll get them some lovely speedos! Eww! Can you imagine how horrible that would be? yuck
Jen go get your massage! I get one every week
I have to in order to help keep my body in shape for work. But even if I didn't I would still go every two weeks just for maintenance. People always think that its just for relaxation or to help their muscles but there are so many more benegits, especially with regard to the circulatory and immune systems. It also helps aid digestion which for me is a big bonus
Anyway I could go on & on here because this is something I'm passionate about but I won't bore you all.
Belle I'm with you I weat shorts at least at 20C if not 15C. Its humid here too. The past few days its been too hot
Is that conversion right? My Mom always told me that 60F was the same as 20C?? I thought she should know because she was part of the generation that had used F for awhile. I don't know. As for cramps go get a cold pack and put it on for ten minutes at a time with at least ten minutes b/t applications. I know everyone alsways says use heat but that's backwards because heat actually increases congestion and typicaly causes more discomfort before it gives any relief. The coolness causes the blood vessels to shrink in size, chasing out nasty congestion & bonus part is that cold is a natural analgesic (pain reliever). Don't put the cold pack right against your skin, make sure you wrap it in a towel or something. I hate TOM! I have it right now and am going camping
I hope it doesn't suck too much. Hope you feel better.
Everyone else take care and have a great weekend!
