We had a great weekend, although of course it went by too fast. On Saturday morning, I went to the dress fitting with the bride. My dress was good, no further alterations needed. It's this dress, or something very similar:
There will be plenty of pictures of me in it, after this weekend coming up.
Then I had a haircut appointment - which went awesome. I hadn't gotten a cut since early December and it was much needed. Now it's short and light and I love it. No pictures yet, hopefully next post.
Paul and I planned to head to Ikea (about an hour drive) this weekend. He wanted our friends to come, so we were going to go Sunday. Then they said they couldn't go anymore - so I decided to go Saturday! We headed out right after my haircut and got there around 4:30pm.
We had a list. We knew we wanted nightstands, lamps, a piece of artwork and a bedframe, plus all the little stuff that we always find when we go there. We left with two nightstands, two lamps, two waste baskets and a new kitchen table and chairs! The bedframe wouldn't fit in the car - we are going again when my mom comes to visit and we'll rent a van for the trip, so we can buy our bedframe.
Ikea, I love you. But please don't ever move to Kitchener or we will go broke. Kthanx.
Our nightstands and lamps:
And our perfect-for-us kitchen/dining room table:
Paul put the table and chairs together last night when I was at work, and decided to set it up all fancy for when I got home. It looked great, with our serving platter and fancy-pants place settings from the wedding!
Yesterday was a bit of a rushed day. We had to run over to Walmart to grab some stuff for Paul's lunch for the week, and I had to drop into La Vie En Rose to get a new strapless bra for this weekend. Walmart took for-ever. The line we (Paul) chose was long, and was moving so slow. When we got to the front (second in line) it took at least 15 min. for the people in front of us to get through and pay. The lady working the til was old and slow, and I was hungry and annoyed. We then had to rush home, I ate lunch, then we hurried over to Paul's parents' house to drop off our taxes stuff - then we had to rush me to work. Rush, rush, rush.
I hope this week goes by fast - though with my current schedule it's bound to do the complete opposite. I am off Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday this week - so once again I'm working every other day. SO annoying. But at least I'm off Saturday - though it'll be a busy, wedding-filled day.
Here's a cute picture of Ruby and Olivia to end this Monday post - Olivia is going to the vet to get spayed tomorrow morning, and she'll be there all day and over night. We are going to miss her!
