paper bags vs satin

Believe it or not I think the hardest decision about this potential wedding doesnt lie in the ring, or the place or the food or my hair, makeup or dress. It is definitely the bridesmaids dresses. Why such stress, I have no freakin idea but it has been stressing me out lately. I have had 3 dreams in which we couldnt find the right dresses. One in which I went to every store in this enormous madeup mall and didnt find a single dress... I have some weird anxiety attached to this, maybe it is my previous 5 weddings as a bridesmaid that are making me go nuts, but i want something that you ladies will like. Please tell me which dress out of this bunch you like best and why,
much appreciated

I drive a Dodge Stratus!

I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!!

Well actually a Chrysler Cirrus but they are one in the same. I have owned my car for just about 2 years and it's time to trade her in.... 10 reasons for this

1. I ran over a tree in Silver Springs.
2. I once hit a pole at Cp.
3. Jen Vanson hit the same pole later driving my car.
4. I drove the Cocahalla on empty.
5.I ran out of gas downtown.
6. I was hit from behind on Crowchild.
7. I hit a shopping cart at the mall.
8. I projectile vomitted 4 times on my steering wheel while driving. (stupid flu season)
9. The head nun I work with has the same car.
10. There is a big invisible decal on my car that says break in to me! 2 times in 5 months
500 dollars in glass! I hate downtown.

Back to the Hood


Yea! Shannon and I have a roof over our heads. The place pretty much looks like the upstairs of the place we have now, minus the new renovations. And it has a fireplace. So that is exciting. The only downfall is that we are leaving the comforts of the Burbs in Dalhousie, a place Ive come to know as home and trading it for the realities of Pleasant Heights, my first neighbourhood. Now if any of you can recall my first expirence in Pleasant Heights ie (the crapshack) you can see my concerns. Though it is super close to SAIT and confederation park it greatly resembles the Hood of low income housing. This house is roughly a couple blocks from my first Calgary house that by the way is still standing. (Heaven knows why) I am excited to move back for the local convience store where they barter with you for your food and it smells like donairs. (It really is a fun place). Well at least we have a place...
