Friday - got drunk at mooses. almost threw up on robson street. thought gelato would make me feel better. it didn't.
Saturday - i yelled at the contractor in the morning because he parked his car right in front of the door so no one could get out. you could probably hear me from robson & denman. no one tells me to "shut up." Then i took the skytrain to new west to pick up my veil. i will never take skytrain again. at noon, there was a drunk guy who was yelling at people on the train and then he started smoking in the train! WTF. went to the gym. sat on the beach with my friend Nen, met up with sandy later. met up with jason and we walked home together.
Sunday - went for tasting! four seasons wedding coordinator started to bug me with her "we're doing this very early" and "you don't have to make any decisions now" comments. No, it's not early. I want to get things done now so I don't have to think about it later. food was good though. she let us take it all home. Went to parents place for BBQ - more food to take home. went through closets and threw out things - that made me feel so much better.
it sounds like i had weekend of annoyances, but really, it was quite enjoyable!

wiiiii!!!
my good friend loulou had a wii party at her place last saturday and we were all pumped. people told me that you get a good workout playing wii, but i didn't believe them. tennis - all you do is wave your arm around. same with golf. and baseball. bowling is like bowling. BOXING, on the other hand, was a different story.
you get so into it that you don't realize you're punching like you're actually hitting your opponent.
now my back is really sore. but it's worth it.
:o)

the downside
the downside of being in the same industry as your mother is when you go to industry cocktail parties after work and get smashed with your colleagues. your mother is there to tap you on your shoulder and ask, "how much have you had to drink? do you want to leave with me? your dad is downstairs waiting. we can drop you off at home. i'm going in 15 mins."
oh dear god.
i think she will be retiring in 5 years. at least i hope so.

"we're moving on up......to the east side"
This past Monday we received Notice to End Tenancy from our Landlord. You see, our apartment building was sold to the new owner who now wants to renovate all units and jack up the rent. We were the only tenants left on our floor so on Monday, we were told we have 2 months to leave the premises.
It was stressful getting the notice. By August 31st we have to be out of there and in a new place and our wedding is in September....too much on our plate!
Since Jason had Monday and Tuesday off, he scoured the West End for a new place to live. A lot of the affordable stuff is crap. We enjoyed a sweet deal at our place on Beach Ave - $1000 rent between the both of us, includes parking. We were right on the beach, at the entrance of Stanley Park and we had "THE" place for the annual fireworks competitions.
We viewed a condo in The George building - it's a newish bldg - 2 bedroom, 2 full bath and the kicker for me - INSUITE LAUNDRY. Rent is a lot more, but considering 1 bedroom apartments in the West End are going for at least $1400, this one's a steal. It's closer to work - about 4 blocks away for me and half the distance for Jason - and we're on the 15th floor so we get a nice view of the North Shore and Stanley Park.
I just got a call from the realty company that we were accepted and can move in August 1st!!
We are so excited. I will never have to scrounge up loonies for laundry and I no longer have to pay for gym membership as there's a gym in the building!
Insuite laundry and a dishwasher. Can it get any better than that???

off they go!
we sent off the first batch of invites, mostly people we work with and family in Canada.
we're still waiting for addresses for familiy outside of Canada, so that may a few more days. i also found a box to put jackie's bridesmaid dress so it's on its way to california. as funny as this sounds, it now feels like we're getting married with our invitiations being sent. the point of no return.
on a sad note, i just heard this morning that one of my uncles had a stroke and he's in the hospital trying to recover. he has to go through speech therapy as he can't complete a sentence anymore. sigh. praying for his speedy recovery.

We have a new mom at work
Good Morning Everyone
Just to let you all know, there is a new kettle in the kitchen please read the instructions carefully before using it.
Mail Clerk
Our mail clerk is at it again with her email reminders and warnings! I already deleted the one in my inbox last week about how we need to wash our own dishes that we bring from home instead of putting it through the dishwasher. Why'd I delete that one?? Another classic!
It feels like we have a mommie dearest at the office.
