only thing i want to win is the lottery

The movie sucked. BIG TIME.
The script was terrible. The story was not believable. Direction....was there any?? They had a lot of great actors in it, but the movie stank.
At least I was lucky enough to not pay money to see it. Although I did pay with my time.
This one should've gone straight to video.

and i never win anything

Yesterday, Crave 95.3fm called me and said I won 2 tickets to the premiere of "August Rush" tonight. Last week while I was bored at work, I decided to enter every single radio show contest and lookee here, I actually won something! The only downside is I have to drive out to Ditchmond to see it.
Oh well. Free movie. Can't complain.

wedding date

Finally, our wedding date has been finalized now - September 27, 2008!
The church (St. Augustine's) has finally been confirmed so the next big thing we need to confirm is the reception venue. We've visited a few venues such as, Hotel Vancouver Fairmont, Renaissance, Terminal City Club, Coast Plaza Hotel and none of them are as professional as the Four Seasons. What a fabulous room. Fabulous hotel. Fabulous wedding coordinator. He knows exactly what he's doing. At the other places, they just showed us the room and said, "have any questions?" but this guy at the Four Seasons took time to chat with us about what we would like, what services are available at no charge and what hidden costs are. Loved it!! Here's a photo of the room:

Unlike the other rooms we've seen, this one is not a basic square/rectangle shape. It's got 3 entrances/exits and is a diamond shape goes diagonally. Also, how lovely that the dance floor isn't in the middle of the dining area. It is off to the side near the bar so dining will be much more enjoyable without this empty vast space in the middle of the floor. We also won't be having our head table at the forefront, as if we are preciding over the whole reception. Instead we'll have an oval shaped table in the middle of the dining area so no one is sitting in a line, but just like all the other guests. Who wants to just talk to the person to your left and right? BORING. This way too, I can turn around and talk to guests at a table behind us.

I also finally have my bridal party picked out (Jason is still deciding his):
Melissa is my MOH and Sandy and my cousin Jackie will be my bridesmaids!
We are making great progress here folks. After we book the reception venue, we don't have to worry about the nitty gritty till next year!!

dancing at my desk

Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" is on the radio right now and i'm shimmeying down at my desk.
WHOOPAH

mine eyes! mine eyes!

hmm, so i'm a bit worried about my left eye. last friday i wore my glasses, to give my eyes a break from the contact lens. saturday morning, my left eye wouldn't open up completely. it wasn't all that noticeable, but i felt that my eye wasn't opening up as much as my right. so i wore my glasses on saturday. sunday, it felt a lot better. it was opened up fully, didn't feel like there was something on the top of my eyeball. i figured it's probably a sty.
this morning, i woke up and put on my glasses like i usually do, to help navigate from the bedroom to the washroom. my left eye was a bit blurry, it wasn't completely focused which i thought was weird. i had my glasses on. i should have perfect vision. that's never happened before.
so of course the hypochondriac in me has woken up and is now worrying me to no end. i could go to my optamolo...eye doctor, but i think i visited him already earlier this year which means my insurance won't cover another visit within the same year.
o, what to do. i can't seem to diagnose myself with the nurse book or by researching the internet.
boo. what to do.

done deal

the wedding coordinator at st augustine's called this morning and said they're available September 27 @ 1 p.m. for our wedding ceremony. so i called back and left a message minutes ago saying we want to book! hopefully that's all she needs to confirm for now and it's a done deal!

yay! one more thing to cross off the list!
