The Proud Owner of a White Dress
Today was a very productive day! It started with me getting up early and making phone calls with Val about that darn health insurance from last year that they still want to collect on, and also calling an attorney about this immigration junk. We have an appointment with her at 4pm tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes.
Then we grabbed our gym gear and headed out the door. We drove to the post office first to mail my pre study report to student loans so that they will send me more money, and then we headed out to Mon Cherie to look and see if the dress of my dreams was there, since Dad didn’t want to pay the 977$ Canadian dollars that the dress was up there. We ended up finding it for only $697.90 CAD. And it might even be in before I go back home! So we put down the 25% on it and started looking at bridesmaids dresses. I described what I was looking for to the sales woman, and she headed for the dress rack, and eventually pulled out the exact dress I was looking for! The only difference was the color, but they make each style in any color. I decided on the cornflower, and I just have to let all my bridesmaids know about the dress to see if everyone is in agreement. After that, I can get their sizes and start ordering them in. It’s a shame that they can’t come down and try them on in the store, but alterations will have to be made no matter what.
But yeah, so I got my dream dress, so I’m pretty pleased about that. I might even be able to get married in Nova Scotia after all, but we’ll have to learn more about that tomorrow when we go see the attorney.
We also went to the gym today, after learning that my favorite pink shorts from last year don’t fit anymore I’m more determined than ever to level off my tummy and get it nice and flat, or at least not protruding so much! I’m supposed to meet with my trainer at 12:30 on Monday, but if we end up going into LA we’ll have to leave on Monday, so I’d have to call her and reschedule. That’d be a shame, but it can’t really be helped. I still have three months to get my 4 sessions in, so I’m not too concerned.
I can’t wait for Mike to be done his finals so that he can be back here, although I’ve gotten a lot accomplished in the past few days, so I haven’t just been sitting here pining, as I’m sure he’ll be crushed to find out upon reading this. (Love you cutie!) We still don’t even know where he’ll be working this summer, since that dang job hasn’t gotten back to him yet. It’s rather frustrating, but I hope it all gets sorted out relatively soon. If they don’t get back to us soon, we’re taking off to LA whether they want us to or not!! Hehe :D
I can’t believe how exhausted I am already! It’s only 10:46 and I’m literally ready for bed. I still haven’t finished the first chapter in my history text, I’m poring over it too slowly I think, I’m going to try and pick up the pace without losing any important information. I have to cover 4 chapters for the first section, so I think that my first written analysis will cover a broad time span, so I don’t have to be so nitty gritty with the details. I’m also making a nice study guide for when I have to take my exam as well. So much to do, so little time!!
