the diet

2008-01-02T17:34:00.000+13:00

I'm doing the skinny bitch diet. Which is in essence organic vegan.

I've had headaches and bitchyness and i hate not being able to go to mcdonalds and try a cheeseburger.

OMG

2007-12-04T20:37:00.000+13:00

I'm getting married NEXT MONTH!!

baby shower #2

2007-11-30T10:51:00.000+13:00

Please excuse my haste regarding the baby shower. (for those of you who were quick enough to read it)...PMS....what can i say?

John Key DVD

2007-11-29T10:27:00.000+13:00

Saw the John Key DVD on youtube last night.

I wouldn't have pinned him as a two finger typist.

I Passed!

2007-11-27T09:06:00.000+13:00

I passed my post grad communications paper! This calls for strawberries and champagne, which is rather amusing considering the undergrad celebratory drinks consisted of beer and potato wedges at the university bar.

Biarches

2007-11-19T13:03:00.000+13:00

Over the weekend i found out what is being said to me for not inviting some cousins to the wedding reception. (they're invited to the after dance).

Apparently i'm a snooty bitch, and i should have invited them as a family. What the fuck ever.

There is such a double standard here it's not funny, my parents have been invited to weddings of two of their children where i have only been invited to the after dance. One of the girls in the family is better friends with me than the others so she got invited to the whole thing along with her husband.

Apparenly i've caused the family feud of the century. My grandpa would not be pleased.

AND

the future mother in law has decided that we did not invite enough people from their side of the family (i counted up the other night it was a 50/50 split), most of them declined which is not my fault but she thinks that people from their side should be invited in their place...um...no. I've invited more people from my side because they will actually show up and i'm not inviting people that i've never met just so that they feel their numbers are even.

Finally get to post!

2007-11-16T14:40:00.000+13:00

I've been busy. Work is busy and not that great. Wedding stuff is crazy. so here are some bullets.

Got my wedding dress, it's perfect. I can't wait to wear it.
My future Mother In Law sent me an email the following day saying how amazing my dress is.
I was completely surprised by this, usually she's not like that.
I've lost some weight...we ordered the dress in the smallest size possible and it needs to be taken in, i'm officially a size zero.
I need a glass of wine.
I made cupcakes last night...they're really yummy and i'd love for you to try one.
I hate builders.
It's friday afternoon and i want to go home...sums it up really.

RSVP lazy

2007-11-06T12:16:00.000+13:00

I had a million RSVP cards made for the wedding...our reply date was November 1st. My family have all sent theirs back promptly...his family have...not.

i'm home sick today

2007-11-06T12:14:00.000+13:00

I have finally arranged all the pillows in the bed into the perfect position so i can laze back with my laptop for the afternoon.

40 cents and a bottle of coke

2007-11-05T12:49:00.000+13:00

I'm on my lunch break. I went and got a vegetarian sandwich from the cafe, it was good..slightly unhealthy with the amount of cheese and mayo inside. But it was good.

Now i shall suckle my coke zero for the remainder of the afternoon.

It's funny how even though i'm on my lunch break i always flick my screen back to my work emails if my boss walks past.

I don't feel the need to be incredibly chatty today thus i will stun you with my intriguing bullet points.

I am the best birthday present buyer of all time, my fiance LOVES his digital camera.
I need to find a cake that is layered with some form of cream but doesn't have jam in it.
As i'm lazy, I shall buy a chocolate mud cake and whip some cream.
I have my final post grad assignment to finish...i'm almost there. (ah who am I kidding, i'll probably re write it at least twice.)
I really like the cranberry and orange brunch bars.
Work has a strange mood about it today.
I had my first hair colour appointment for the wedding yesterday...it looks stunning in Ash blonde.
It's raining today...i want summer.

The dress, the dress!

2007-11-05T10:28:00.000+13:00

...is on it's way! I called to enquire and the lady said they had received advice that the dress had been shipped. yay.

Beauty Therapy

2007-10-30T19:26:00.001+13:00

Every few weeks I go to my beauty therapist to have her pull, poke, pluck every part of my body to remove it of hair and put random combinations of chemical and plant extracts on my body to make it beautiful.

Or so the theory goes anyway.

I'm starting to transform into my bridal body...i'm skinny (for once) thanks to the help of some diet pills and careful eating. (screw you carbs!). I'm starting the round of treatments and on saturday my hair will be getting the transformed.

But is my wedding day the only time i'm going to be truly happy with myself?

bridal dramas

2007-10-29T20:29:00.000+13:00

The bridesmaids shoes were the same shoe from the same shop, same brand everything.

One pair had completely black beads, the other a mixture
of grey and black

cue:bridezilla!

the abandoned wives club

2007-10-28T20:35:00.000+13:00

Not only am i getting married in January but I will be officially be joining the abandoned wives club.

You know what I'm talking about those girls that get abandoned by the husbands because of 'work'. Sure there are times when I need to do things for work, the odd dinner or business trip (if i'm lucky) but right now i'm sitting here all on my lonesome because future hubby had to go on a trip. He was suppose to be home tomorrow but something happened and now they don't know when they'll be home :(.

So i guess i'm the abandoned wives club newest member.

little housewife

2007-10-24T18:38:00.000+13:00

I swear I'm becoming more and more like a housewife...right now I'm cooking him dinner, last week i made him cupcakes...I shudder to think what I'll be like after the wedding.

life and love online

2007-10-23T22:34:00.000+13:00

Julia Alison blogs about how sites such as facebook and myspace have changed the way we do things in life, specifically about dating and etiquette.

I adore facebook and bebo, i can send people stupid messages, find people i haven't known since highschool and generally waste my time but it makes me worry sometimes...who's looking at my page? I wish i knew.

I guess the thing i'm the most worried about is the fact that really opens me up to the world, it opens us all up to the world...but then i guess so does this blog. Old boyfriends, old friends, old enemies can all find my page and cyber stalk me. It's only a small step between cyber stalking and stalking for real.

I might even have my identity stolen because of my facebook page and a psycho ex.

oh...the stress....

For the mean time i will continue to send silly messages.

Sex, drugs and rock n' roll

2007-10-23T15:37:00.000+13:00

They're talking about millie holmes on the radio...apparently she's trying to score a spot on the new treasure island hence the interviews.

Sad.

Cruskets for breakfast

2007-10-23T10:54:00.000+13:00

Wedding weight loss not going so well over the weekend. So far today i have eaten 3 cruskets with lisas baba ganush (sp?) and one chewey caramel tim tam...it's okay if i have just one right?

Over the weekend i totally fell off the wagon, fish and chips with a small (almost minuscule) salad, pizza, steak and veges, crackers with sweet chilli philidelphia and roast chicken with gravy a potato and some broccli oh and bacon and eggs (that my dad proudly cooked for me even though i told him i was on a diet).

It's not like i'm fat I just really need to fit in to a dress of a specific size and i'm sure i've put weight on since i got measured for the dress. ...uhhh winter weight?....so off it comes.

I know i always say this...

2007-10-22T16:31:00.001+13:00

but why the hell did i want to do post grad study? it's impossible to find any material i can use to answer the question appropriately.

Assignment

2007-10-22T15:36:00.001+13:00

I'm doing a post grad assignment on telecommuting, which conveniently i have left myself today to complete (and after work tomorrow), 2000 words to go.

New blog.

2007-10-22T09:45:00.000+13:00

I guess my last blog was a period of transition for me, the time between leaving high school, going to university and finding out who I was in between everything else.

I'm just not in that place anymore. The last time i blogged was back in February, the day before i got engaged.

Now, I'm just over three months out from getting married.

So here it is...my new blog, a place for me to find out who i am now. And i guess over the next few months, a place for me to post my neurotic bride comments.

I'm not 100% sure on the name chardonnay, i guess we'll see.
