slow

today went fast and i got none of my chores done :S i slept terribly and was suffering with allergy symptoms. i took 3 24-hour pills over 15 hours. but i've concluded it's a cold. it sucks. i feel like crap. i hate that it's taken one of the days of my holiday already. argh!

i went dress shopping with shannon for her wedding dress. i felt totally spaced out and drugged. it occurred to me that i probably felt drugged because i WAS drugged. oh well. our shopping expedient wasn't great. the sales lady wouldn't leave us to just look on our own, and it was REALLY annoying and frustrating. we'd envisioned being silly and making fun of ugly dresses, but she was on us like white on rice so we had to be behaved. afterward we went to cynthia's sex shop. it's funny how comfortable i was in there now that i'm engaged. before i would've just felt like a pervert. that being said... it was not my cup of tea and probably won't ever venture into a sex store again.

shanno and i sat in confed basin eating ice cream cones. while we were there we saw a wedding party (or at least the grooms side) getting their photos taken. we sat watching them. i was also surprised that i didn't find them annoying, before they would've made me groan and look away. things change i guess.

b is in ottawa, and tomorrow he'll be in montreal. he's playing a few shows with his pseudo-band. i'm enjoying the time on my own, except i unwittingly rented 5 movies from classic. i don't know what i was thinking. i'm just a space cadet today, that's the only explanation i have. i didn't even make it thru the one i planned to watch tonight. i feel sore all over from exhaustion so i think i'll get into bed pronto.

this morning before he went to work we did our premarital counseling homework. we were instructed to come up with a 5 year financial plan. it worked out pretty well, and was kind of fun. we've decided to buy a house in 2015, and to have a baby in 2014. we picked those dates independently of each other. when we realized it means we'll be living in the maxi pad with an infant we considered reversing it, but there's no great need to change it. we'll just convert my walk-in closet into a baby room. there's enough space in there for a crib. hahaha. i'm kind of excited about our resourcefulness. i believe in making do instead of upgrading before we're able.

it seems it's summer. i think i'll wear my nighty to bed.

i'm just sitting here, wasting my time
'til you come home,
from your escapades
in the backyards,
with your friends of late.

i'd be worried if you didn't do this every spring,
when the grass grows,
and there's birds in trees,
and the sun shines,
and you don't need me.
