Lazy Weekends Are The Best!

Hello all!  You know what feels good after over 2 straight weeks of nothing but high stress?  A lazy weekend!

Jeff and I are doing pretty much absolutely nothing this weekend, which is really strange for us.  We almost always go somewhere to grocery shop or get things that we need, like dog and cat food or something.  In fact, I can't even remember the last time that we didn't go somewhere at least one day out of the weekend.  Jeff DID have to go out this morning for a couple hours, but that was to get a prescription filled for himself and it took much longer than he thought it would because the pharmacy's machine was not working or something.  He actually had a nap this afternoon, and I've never seen him take a nap.  Ever.  He's against naps for some reason.  I'm glad he had one though because he is extra stressed lately and he needed it.  He needs a couple day to just do nothing.

I'm glad we aren't doing anything this weekend because the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is on today and tomorrow and I didn't want to miss it.  It's too bad that Perez Hilton spoiled it for everyone and posted the Best In Show winner on his website like an asshole, I really wanted to be surprised.  Oh well, at least I can see who won the Best of Group winners.  God damn Perez Hilton pisses me off more and more each day.  I'm going to boycott his website!  Yeah... that probably won't work, millions of idiots check out his site every day lol.

I've been doing some MUCH needed online shopping therapy haha.  It truly does release stress!  Well first I won a Revlon hair straightener last week.  I've been winning a lot of things lately.  First I won a makeup package valued at over $140 from Elle Canada Magazine's Christmas contest.  Then I won a Kobo eReader (which I am obsessed with!) from the Kobo website in an online scratch and win contest. I won the hair straightener from a Wal-Mart customer appreciation survey that was on one of my Wal-Mart receipts.  Yeah, I'm on a bit of a roll lol.  Last week a bought a whole bunch of ELF stuff because if you bought $25 worth of stuff from their website, you got to pick 10 mineral eye shadows to add to your order for free.  So I did that and now I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail.  Last night I found the website of my dreams!  Beauty Joint sells my favourite makeup brand, NYX, at prices 25-60% lower than retail price!  I don't know how I didn't find this site sooner, but now that I have I'm obsessed!  Here's what I bought last night:

 

It's the NYX Soho Glam Collection and as soon as I saw it I fell in love!  It has 52 eye shadows, 4 blushers, 4 face colours, 8 lip colours, a lip liner, and 2 lip glosses.  I have lots of palettes, but NYX is the best quality I've ever used and I'm so excited to get this!  Plus, the regular price was $34 and I got this on this new website for $23!  I've very excited lol.

Anyways, that's all I have for now.  Jeff is swearing at the TV because his hockey team, the Ottawa Senators, is playing my Mom's team, the Toronto Maple Leafs right now and if Ottawa loses, he owes my Mom money in some bet they have.  Apparently Ottawa isn't doing to good haha.  

Bye for now!

So Frustrated!

Ugh, why can't I just have the perfect wedding that Jeff and I deserve?!

I've just about had it up to here *raises hand above head*.  Things were going so great.  We had all of our invitations done and ready to be shipped out.  My dress fittings were going perfectly.  We are on track with our budget.  Why does one person have to go and screw everything up?

I'm talking about the Pastor that is doing our wedding ceremony for us.  I don't know what the hell is wrong with this guy to tell you the truth.  First of all, I just want to say that I believe in God but I don't understand some of the decisions that he puts in people's heads.  Our Pastor is REFUSING to let me walk down the aisle to "Here Comes The Bride", you know, the traditional bridal march.  What is his reasoning you ask?  Apparently the person who wrote the song over a hundred years ago wrote about paganism and this song isn't meant for God, it's meant for Pagan worshippers. 

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!

If this is true, how come every other bride in every other single church is allowed to have it?  It is not fair that my parents, aunt, uncles, cousins, and who ever else got married in my family is allowed to have it and I'm not.  I have dreamed about walking down the aisle to that song since I was a little girl.  The Pastor says the words are meant to worship me, not worship God.  Well I hate to tell him this, but #1) No one even knows the words and they certainly won't be singing and #2) Everyone will be looking at Jeff and I, they won't be thinking about God.

I don't even have a second choice for music, and even if I did he'd probably turn in down because it wasn't written for God.  Even more stupid, he is letting my Uncle sing a song that he wrote during the license signing and he sure as hell didn't write that song for God, he wrote it to praise his wife. 

You wanna know what the worst part is?  We told him when we saw him at Christmas that we wanted the traditional bridal march and he agreed that we could have it!  He even wrote it down on his papers!  Now all of sudden we can't have it and his lame ass excuse is "when you said the word 'traditional', that could have meant anything".  If he didn't know exactly what we meant, he should have fucking said something when we meant with him 3 times!  EVERYONE knows what the traditional bridal march is, he's just being a sneaky bastard.

I'm sorry if I sound so mean when I'm talking about a Pastor, but this guy is just full of himself.  He's ruining my wedding ceremony.  I really don't want to have anything to do with him or his church ever again.
