sorry about the bit yesterday. i was in a cranky mood. good thing i have this blog to vent!
feeling much better today. don't hate twenteens as much as i did yesterday.

i am at work and am so bored
BORED BORED BORED BORED BORED BORED.
also am sick of all the twenteen activity. why do they keep hiring little girls who giggle and talk like they've lived a hundred lives, yet they've never lived away from home??
no one cares about you and your "sugar daddy." by the way that's called being an ESCORT!
no one cares about how many drinks you had and "oh my gawd i got so drunk last weekend" in that shrilly high child voice you have.
stop talking! if there's no need to talk, then don't say anything! you may like to listen to the sound of your own voice, but no one else does! Trust me!

why can't this company hire women instead of little girls who live in their own little worlds?

DRIVES ME INSANE!

finally!

After a long delay, i finally got to watch the movie Atonement with Jason last Sunday. In a previous post, I mentioned I was looking forward to the opening of the movie and was originally going to watch it with my bezzie, Melissa, but she somehow convinced me (she really should be in sales or marketing) to watch Into the Wild instead. That was also a good movie, although my sympathy only ran so far for the guy (spoiled burbs kid who took off without telling his parents to find "happiness," only to find out that happiness is only real when it's shared).
Anyway, Atonement - fabulous, best movie of the year. I can't believe I waited two months to see it. Cinematography was incredible - the Dunkirk scene will probably be analyzed and part of film school curriculum from now on (do you think Ryan?). The acting, especially by Saoirse i-forgot-her-last-name-but-somehow-remember-how-to-spell-her-first-name, was phenomenol. I really wanted to punch that little girl in the face. poor robbie. poor cecilia.
I also realized how lucky I am. I guess sometimes I take things for granted, ie. Jason, and this movie sort of reminded me that there are people out there who aren't as lucky, due to unfavorable or sad circumstance.

This movie totally deserved the BAFTA and should have won best picture at the american oscars.

AND.
of course! James McAvoy was sexxxxy as hell. he can write me a sexually graphic letter anytime.

one more thing to cross of my to-do list!

my besties and i went dress shopping and found the dress! we went down to bridal row in new westminster and found it at Lisa's Bridal Salon on columbia st. it's a tea-length empire waist dress. so gorgeous. here's a picture of the dress and it's in this hideous yellow color. i don't know why brides pick such ugly bright clown colors for their bridesmaids, but i love the classiness of neutrals so i picked taupe as the dress color.

now i'm going to go for a run along the seawall. we celebrated our dress decision by going for a beer so i should run that off.

humming a happy tune

i ran for 50 mins yesterday with my new ipod shuffle. ahh! all i needed was the motivation. Thanks IPOD!

Met up with our priest, Father Gord on Sunday. That's the most time I've spent at Church - EVER. Three hours. Wowzas. During our meeting, we booked our rehearsal and preplanning meeting. He's leaving everything up to us. The readings, the music, recession order and procession order. He's lovely. I'm glad we picked him to be our celebrant. He's very laid-back and easy going. When he found out that we live together, he said that yes, the Church regards it as a sin, but he doesn't think it a big deal. Since we're having Mass though, he said we have to go to confession after our Rehearsal.

After spending 3 hours at Church on Sunday, Jason was convinced that the good Lord was smiling on us the rest of the day. We ran a few errands, met Tobes & Lou for lunch and had no problems finding parking. We were able to park very close, or had money in the meter already - all day! Alleluiah.

Birth

I got an IPod Shuffle to replace the shitty IPod Nano that died last week.
Now I can run again!

R.I.P.

my ipod nano died today.

STUPID TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Is.....

After reading Ryan's latest blog entry, I had to see what my own search would come up with. I googled Sarah is and got:

Sarah is beautiful. Sarah is beautiful inside and out, she's the most beautiful girl....

I'd say that's pretty damn accurate!!! Check out the search result by clicking on the link below:

what to do what to do

a bit of a dilemma and i don't know what to do.

my cousin is getting married in rome on august 8th. our wedding is on sept 27th.
the cost to fly out to rome is $1800 per person +accommodations which is just under $1000 for 5 nights. it's pricey. that's $4,600 for me and jason.

we were thinking maybe i'll just go alone. but that's still going to be about $2500 - $3000. that's a lot of money. that can pay for our DJ, our transportation, our flowers. we're saavy. we can stretch a dollar when it comes to little wedding details.

now our other option (the most viable option) is just to go to their reception in the states on the 13th. it's very close to our own wedding, but i want to at least attend one of his celebratory events. we just have to make sure all our planning is done and that we can afford to leave for a few days before our wedding. it's a much cheaper option as well. we can probably get a good deal for a round trip to san fran and hopefully we can stay with one of my aunts for the weekend.

so....we'll see what we decide. unless we come across some extra cash, it sounds like rome may be a no go, but not confirmed yet. still weighing our options....
