AHHHHH Wedding season....

Long delay for the blog, I’m sorry! I have been planning my wedding, which has been quite busy. I can’t believe I’m getting married. Wow
There is good things and bad about the whole wedding process. If you know me at all, I am a procrastinator. This makes things difficult in planning a wedding. However also made me realize something, something’s about planning weddings are myths… so I’m here to share with everyone the great wealth of knowledge that I have gained when planning my wedding.

Top 5 Wedding Planning Myths…

01. You future husband wants to be involved in the planning.
a. This is not true; he just wants to be involved to make you happy. He does not care about colors, lace vs. silk, flowers on banisters or really anything to do with decorations.
b. Question what is the one thing that they do want say in? That’s right if you said the buffet, food or dessert. All answers will be accepted.

02. You are the most popular person in the world.
a. This is not true; I found it very interesting that friends I had never talked to talked to me because they want to come to the wedding. As much as you would love to believe that everyone wants to be you, its false

03. You look great no matter what
a. No you cannot eat and eat and eat. Just because you are getting married does not mean that you will not gain weight
b. Yes you still have to shower. Just because people say you have a bridal glow does not mean that you shouldn’t shower to the point that your forehead is actually glowing because of oil.
c. You cannot wear PJ pants everyday just because someone loves you does not mean you can do this. (I gratefully learned this lesson from my brother and then one day JC hinted I should wear jeans…how insulting BUT SO TRUE!)

04. Everyone is interested in every detail of your wedding.
a. Just because people ask about the wedding and how plans are going, does not mean they really want to know. They may want to know you 1 to 5 min overview, but they do not want to know every detail. TRUST ME I KNOW. Enough said!

05. Finally If your Day and Your day only
a. Also not true it’s just as much your mom’s, dad’s, sister’s, friend’s, and dogs day as it is yours. SO SHARE THE WEALTH

In light of my wedding season I have a few Jokes to send you off with I thought they are quite funny!

01. What's the difference between in-laws and out-laws? Out-laws are wanted!

02. To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

03. Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

04.Three men were at a bar. Two of the men were discussing the control they had over their wives, while the third remained uninterested.
After a short while, the two men turned to the third and asked, "What about you? What kind of control do you have over your wife?" The third man turned to the first two and said, "Well, just the other day I had her on her knees!"
The two men were dumbfounded. "Wow that's incredible! What happened next?" they asked. The third man took a healthy swig of his beer, sighed and grumbled, "Then she started screaming at me to get out from under the bed and fight like a man!"

04. If your wife laughs at your joke, it means you either have a good joke, or a good wife.

05. One day a man came home to find his wife admiring her breasts in the mirror. He asked her what she was doing and she said, "I went to the doctor today and he told me that I have the breasts of a 16-year-old girl!"
The husband replied, "Well, what did she say about your 75-year-old ass?"
To which she replied, "Honey, your name never came up!!!"

LOL the last one Is my favorite… See you at the wedding...that is if you are invited! hahaha I like to pretend there is more than 3 people that read this page.

What the HUH?

Ever wanted a bra you could drink out of, eat out of, and lose weight from? Don't worry gentlemen, this is for you too! A designer out of London has created a Bra for both men and women. The women style looks like a tankini and the male version is a tight t-shirt style thing, without the breast bulge...almost. How this works is...

Drinking Feature: These bras come with fill able water inserts and when girls wear the bra, you cant really see them, they blend in. However on the guy's it's more spread out so when you put the water in, it's supposed the make the pectoral muscles look bigger. With this feature, it also come with a retractable straw. The straw is strategically placed where a girls under wire would be and the guy's is inserted into the collar of their shirt.

There are a few problems with this feature but the one that sticks out mainly to me is throughout out a day of drinking water, girls breast and guy's pecks you decrease in size dramatically, that would be kinda weird, and I don't stare at breasts or pecks, but I WOULD NOTICE.

Eating Feature: There is small pockets for food, on guy's you have two options the shirt pocket on the chest or fanny pack style. The girls is a detached small bag that you can attach onto your arm.

Lose Weight Feature: (possibly the most bizarre feature) This bra thing has a built in pulse sonic thing. It's basically like having a built in abtronic. So while you are wearing it, you can tone your abs.

I find this kinda strange as well because people are going to be noticing that your stomach is pulsing while hanging out on the beach. Also you will be eating while working out... That cannot be too good for you.

Now if you read this blog and you want this product (for some odd strange reason) you cant get it yet. The product is still being developed.

A funny thing is that, in the advertisement, it says this product is "Ideal for Hiking or beach laying...Definitely not a lemon" OK Hiking I maybe get... But I get that it's skimpy for the beach... BUT if you went in the water with it you would get electrocuted and you food would get soggy. I think that the inventors still have a lot of work set out for them.

If this is the next new hip thing... I'm opting out of fashion for a while...

All about me!

I am happy to announce that I got a new job! I am the new Media Coordinator of Ritchie Bros. I am so happy about it. I cannot even express! I am a little bit scared though too. There is so much to learn it's a bit over whelming but I know I can do it.

I have also looked into the idea of purchasing a apartment/condo. With rent getting so expensive its almost the same as a mortgage payment. That would be so exciting to be able to paint my own walls and decorate in the way I want to. (Oh man, I'm starting to sound like my mom) Also Whenever I want to sell it I could and it would be a big investment. I thought that was a cool idea to entertain anyways.

Pre marital counseling is almost over. Jc and I have one session left. I have to say I'm very happy that it is ending. I thought that it was really really good and would recommend it to anyone, however, sometimes it's even too personal for me. (I would consider myself a very open person) They ask you questions that you really feel like saying..."UM EXCUSE ME!" I know that I signed up for this, but still it is a very invasive process.

I am saddened by the earthquake in China killing oer 10 000 people. So pray for theses folks, they will need it!

I ordered cheques today that say John Coates and Stephanie Coates! HOLY SHIZZA! That was fun! Now I sound like I have an Indian name. Cause I do/will. JC is 1/16th native. Isnt that strange. Wouldn't that be funny is some gene got mixed up and I had a brown baby! Ya know how you hear of theses stories where 2 black parents have a white child. LOL. I doubt it. I'm destined to have twins since my mom is a twin and it skips a generation. But we wont find out that mystery for a LONG LONG time. Yikearumba...me? a mom? NOT YET THANK THE LORD! Oh a side note, the cool thing about the cheques was that they supported the WWF (not World Wresteling Federation...World Wildlife Foundation.) and they have cute panda's, polar bears, Tigers, monkeys and Lions!

Speaking of Monkeys. Did anyone hear of the 2 monkeys that were stolen out of the Greater Vancouver Zoo? Someone wire snipped the gates got in killed one of the Monkeys and stole the other! Reporters are saying that the one monkey is being sold on the Black Market and to look out for it. Ok First of all who steals monkeys and second of all... what good news watching citizen is going to keep an eye on the black market? I'm guessing that most people who watch the black market, buy off the black market. That was a bizarre quote.

And last but not least... The above cartoon personifies how I feel about life sometimes! LOL

Not that I hate the Oilers...BUT......

Today is possibly the most mortifying day in the world. I was forced to wear an Edmonton Oilers Jersey all day at work today. OILERS. For those who don’t know, I am a Calgary Flames fan and all my alliances lie with them.
The reason I am wearing this jersey is because I lost a bet. I bet that the flames would make it to the second round of the playoffs. If I won these 2 people that I work with would have to drink their morning coffee out of beautiful Calgary flames mugs…If I lost I would have to wear the Oiler’s jersey, and the worst part, EVERY FRIDAY TILL CHRISTMAS!
That is very severe. I’m hoping that this bet will subside however the two people who made it with me are very adamant. They have been threatening to take pictures at lunch, we will see how that goes!

The worst part is, people have been asking if…..
“Is it hockey day or something?”
“I’m a huge Oilers fan too!”
“Baaaa Oilers suck”
And, of course the people who come in to debate their loyalty to the Canucks against the Oilers.
I am continually setting the record strait… I am not an Oilers fan, I am a Flames fan!
And… it’s only 9:03 AM six more hours to go… torture.

There is Always HOPE

I heard something very interesting on the radio this morning. It was on a program called Coast to Coast AM. It’s a radio station that is played starting at 2:00am Vancouver Time on 1410am. I listen to it when I either can’t sleep or am starting work at 5:00am and catch the last hour of the program starting at 4:00am. They always have such interesting topics…ANYWAYS…
This morning it was talking about people who were alleged geniuses of their time and the struggles that they occurred in their life time. It went into detail about the lives of people like, Beethoven (A great Blind Musician), Albert Einstein, Hubble (creator of strong telescope), Darwin (evolution) and a few others. It’s had a guest speaker who discussed that all these people had a very prominent thing in common and it was depression. They would be depressed for periods of time. Scientists believe that depression can be a result of overactive brain activity in some cases. After examining the journals and personal record in some of these genius’s scientists realized that these people were happiest when they were doing things, creating things and really exerting brain power. Basically the point of the program was that in some cases people who have high amounts of anxiety and depression like the above genius’s are actually really very smart. They are just not using their brain and engaging it to their full potential. It was when these depressive people engaged that they mad history changing discoveries and progress.

I thought that was very interesting and I really agreed to a point. I think that if people are fully engaged in life it is very motivating. I do know that some people can have a chemical imbalance in their brains but it was just proof that people can work through things, even depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders and turn downfalls into something beautiful and brilliant.

I don’t care what they say I’m in love with you

I feel as if life is pulling me in different directions and lately I have been feeling a sense of urgency to be different, to think things through, and to love. I have been getting a sense that people are so lost. Sometimes I think how can I help? What can I do? This life is so strange because the littlest of things can change people, they can change myself. But I don’t want to do the little things anymore; I want to do something big. My heart is yearning to speak out on behalf of the speechless. It’s just, how do I do that. I am also learning that to speak is one thing but to speak to hearts is another thing.
When I think of these feelings however I’m overcome with sadness. I don’t even know why and it’s not for others it’s for me. I can’t explain it. I don’t know what is going on? I feel so selfish. I feel as if this unbeatable force is strangling me and inhibiting me from doing. Just doing. I have such a will to do but feel held back.
How do I do the things that I really want to do?

If you never try you will never know what is going to happen in life.
Do you really think that lights guide you home?
What do you do when you lose something you cannot replace?
Will you meet me half way.
Perfect for each other? Realize
