What a way to wake up this morning!
Around 7:30 am the building's fire alarm went off. So here, just minutes before Adam and I are out the door for work in the morning, we have to get us and the kitties outside. In February. Brrr!
So Adam got the kitty carriers together and I bribed the kitties with treats and we made it down the stairs. And then turned the corner and walked back inside the building to wait in the entry way with everyone else...hehe. The Fire Dept showed up, cleared the alarm and we were on our way home.
Poor Max - he is forever traumatized. Loki didn't care less, but is going to bug Max all day! Like I said, poor Max.
But hey - at least it's not Monday anymore :) Tuesday's are usually good days. Let's keep it that way.
The wedding site has been updated with the latest changes.

Sometimes, having emotions isn't easy.
Today mine are all over the place. I'm super happy that I feel so physically good after the weekend, and I'm feeling much less stressed about the wedding.
That said, I just found out that it's quite likely I'm not going to get the position I want here at the company, and has taken a small toll on my mood. I feel sad. And I don't know what to do with it.
Feelings aren't always fun. They are confusing.

I can move!
Saturday's Bust A Move was so much fun! It was really great! I can't wait to do it again next year :)
I managed to make it to the gym yesterday to do a short stint of mild cardio followed by a LOT of stretching - and I feel pretty darn good today!
There have been a few changes in the wedding - Maren has agreed to stop down as the Maid of Honor and as a bridesmaid so that I can have someone closer at hand step in. This is so I can have someone who is present to help me with make it through the next few months.In the beginning we had thought that she would be living here, but things changed, and while is now (and will always be) my closest girlfriend, she understands that the stress and events and help I need are from someone who can be physically here for me. To throw a shower, help with stagette, be there for dress fittings and help with decorations, etc.
So in her place, Jennifer Uhlman is stepping in as a bridemaid, with Krystal assuming the position of Maid of Honor. Thank you Jennifer and Krystal! I made sure to let Jen know what it will mean for her to step in, and she graciously agree to be a part of my big day. And I am very excited to have someone who is here, in town, to be by my side through the next few months. I truly need that in a friend and bridesmaid right now, as things will only get busier from here on out, and I have worried about how I was going to make it through this for months.
Thank you Maren.
Thank you Jennifer.
And thank you to my Adam as well - you are the best.

Well I stayed away from here for awhile so I would be able to write something a little happier than my last post. Last week was not my best week in life, and I wasn't in the mood to share with all of you. Still not, so I'll try to focus on good things.
Went to a wedding show with Adam, Mum and Krystal yesterday and it was good. We found a beautiful limo that we'll be booking soon, and Mum and Krystal found a couple of necklaces that they really loved (and with their birthdays coming up, they may get them and have them for the wedding). We also took some time to go the ceremony and reception sites, which was nice.
Uncle Frank had another heart attack on Saturday - he's in the Infirmary but seems to be doing alright. The docs will be cleaning out the blockages sometime this week.
Adam and I have all of our envelopes done, and we are just waiting to pick up the invites Tuesday evening so we can stuff the envelopes. I think tonight I will put my master list together so we can start addressing things while watching a movie or something.
Saw two movies this weekend - Avatar and The Invention of Lying. Both were really good. I can see why Avatar is considered epic - it was very good. The Invention of Lying was odd.... and fascinating. It wasn't an in-you-face movie, but I really enjoyed it.
Heard from Mark yesterday. That was.....random. I guess he got my message from his ex-wife. Needless to say I was dumbfounded, and couldn't put any real sentences together. I got the info I need for the marriage registration though, so I guess that's good. It was odd.
And now it's Monday. Another bizarre day. My goal today is to live a simple, uncomplicated day.
Watch this.

I am so entirely pissed off right now.
Last night, we lost hot water. Again. This building has the worst management - they smoke indoors in public places, they lose work orders, and now they can't even maintain utilities. So last night, at 830pm I left my home to gohave a shower at the gym. Oh joy oh bliss. But ofcourse I didn't have shampoo or conditioner, so my hair looks like one giant grease ball today. Great. Just great.
Then I wake up this morning, get dressed to find out that the dress sweater I wear with all of my tank tops has been shrunk in the dryer, and I can never wear it again. And have nothing to wear to work. And the kitten was getting dangerously close to being locked up and not let out for the entire day because he WOULD NOT get out from underfoot and WOULD NOT leave me alone to do anything (including walk from one room to another). Oh, yeah - so today I am wearing an old shirt with a hole in it with my fleece sweater over top of it (I keep that at the office for when we ha no heat, but it's 8:10 and I'm sweating b/c I have nothing else to wear).
So I am in a VERY bad mood. So bad, in fact, that I am contemplating leaving work. I left home after 8 anyway, so I was already late. Why did I bother? Oh yeah - in case I get the job that I was under theimpression I would know about by now.

Sleep is a wonderful thing. I feel so much better than I did yesterday :)
I'm waiting for my next assignment, and enjoying putting playlists together online, on a website my boss introduced me to: www.grooveshark.com - I highly recommend!
Tina's coming over tomorrow night to finish the wedding invites. Yahoo! We only have the RSVP cards and the maps to work on. Wahoo! We also need to get return address labels with my new last name done for the thank you cards. We decided last night that we are going to have Staples print most things, it might be cheaper and but it will defiantly be easier. And easier is good.
Life is feeling pretty good today. I know I've been all over the place the last week, and I want to thank Adam and Tina for putting up with it and acting as my sounding boards - thank you! It won't be the last time, but it helps :)
