It’s Moving Day!

Posted in Amazeballs, Home, Kara and Kyle, Moving by

I wrote this post Thursday night while I steal the neighbour’s Wi-Fi connection. Kyle’s dismantled his computer and everything is unplugged except for my computer. I still need me some Internet at least until I get the motivation to pack up the last few things later on.

So I was suppose to get the keys to the place yesterday afternoon but the girl who be bought the townhouse from hadn’t received her money from the bank. She figured it would get to her by the end of the day, but alas it did not. Damn! So now I have to wait until some unknown time today to get the keys. Frustrating! I’m wishing I had taken the day off of Job #2 because it would make moving so much easier.

Hopefully all goes well with the Shaw Cable man this afternoon at the new place and we’ll have Internet all hooked up and ready to go. I’m planning a video tour of the place just for the blog too in the next couple weeks once boxes are unpacked and we’re a little more organized. (And when I have time! The freelance stories are still needing to be finished.)

Today is probably one of the happiest days of my life thus far. I still can’t believe we finally did it :)

Tomorrow is the Day

Posted in Amazeballs, Babies, Bridesmaiding, House and Home, Kara and Kyle, Moving, Wedding by

I move tomorrow! Which means … OMG! I’m beyond excited, so much to the point where it’s hard for me to sleep. I could use that lack of a desire to sleep to do productive things like working on my freelance stories that are due up in a couple weeks, but blogging is much more fun! I’m even possibly picking up the keys today at Noon. WOOOO!

I’m at the point with packing where I just can’t do anymore. Everything from here on out is going to be winged. (Wung?) The fantastic thing is that we’re getting out cable and internet hooked up tomorrow afternoon so Kyle and I won’t have to live for very long without our beloved digital cable and Interwebs. (as sad as that may sound).

On a completely different note, I have recently been informed that for the wedding that I am to be a bridesmaid in next August, we are going to be wearing long, red dresses. With gloves. Oh the humanity! Okay, the wedding colours are red and white, and I’m okay with wearing a short red with white dress, but a long one? With elbow-length gloves? IN THE SUMMER HEAT??? It’s a good thing I love the bride! And maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be freezing cold up north when it comes time for the wedding.

Okay, I’m done now. Oh, actually, you should probably go cheer Chelsea on since she’s due to have her baby today (if she hasn’t already had him by the time this is posted!)

Versatile Blogger

Posted in Awards, Awesome, Blogging by

I got the Versatile Blogger award from Amber over at A Little Pink in the Cornfields. Thanks! Be sure to go check out her blog because she’s awesome :)

I think Amber said it best when she described her blog as inconsistent! I have the same feeling – I’m consistently inconsistent! Except for maybe Tuesdays, where I do the Ten on Tuesday posts hosted at Chelsea’s blog. I love all things random.

So, the rules are to accept, link back and thank the blogger that awarded me, then tell 7 things about myself and tag 15 other lovely bloggers. Here we go:

1. I love planting things but I’m horrible at remembering to keeping them alive! I have a plater full of flowers but I always forget to water and dead-head it. (Thanks Kyle for keeping up on that!) I’ve also killed a bamboo plant (yes, they are killable!) and my Dad has had to bring an African violet plant back from the dead.

2. I would say that I have a good eye for fashion, but I don’t necessarily wear high-fashionish clothes. I’m all about comfort! (And I write this as I watch What Not To Wear.)

3. I have a subscription for Cosmopolitan magazine and while I love reading it, I feel like the majority of the articles don’t apply to me (like “How to Land a Guy” or “10 Ways to Make Him Hot”). It’s probably because I’ve been in a relationship for almost 8 years now and I know what and what not to do. That and I don’t need to seduce a guy from across the bar.

4. I’ll let my dog crawl into bed with me even though she’s not really allowed on the bed. (Shh, don’t tell Kyle!) I don’t invite her onto the bed, but I don’t kick her off if she crawls up herself. She’s just so warm and snuggly!

5. I love a good cup of coffee, but I like to think that I’m not dependant on it. I went an entire week without coffee! Go me!

6. I don’t think I’m short (I’m 5’4″) but when I try on pants I’m always constantly reminded that I am. I had to buy a pair of dress pants from the Petite section. It did feel good not stepping on my pants when I walked though!

7. I’m always awake by 9 a.m. if I’m not up before then, even on weekends. 8:30 is usually when my alarm is set. Lately it’s been earlier because I’ve been working on my freelance projects in the morning before I go to work at 12:30.
