So I am leaving for camping tomorrow right after work. I won't be back until July 29! Yay. So have a good couple weeks and I will blog when I get home.

Ah, *hides* I have posted in so long and I feel really guilty. I apologize to anyone who cares. I have wanted to post, but I just never got around to it. I wish I wouldn't put it off because I really like to post. Ah well, I'm here now.

Anyway, I didn't get the tattoo because we are leaving for holidays on Sunday and when you get a tattoo, you are supposed to stay out of the sun for 2 weeks to a month and so that's no good if we are going camping. I will hopefully be getting it when we come back at the beginning of August.

Guess what happened to me on Sunday, my mom and grandma threw a surprise Canadian Bridal Shower for me!! It was so awesome because I had NO idea at all! You see, it was my mom's birthday on that day too and so my grandma told me that it would be a surprise birthday party for mom. So I arrived and all of a sudden everyone yells surprise as soon as I walk in the door. I was so shocked that I started crying! I'm such a loser. But it totally caught me off guard. It was wonderful really, I have never had a surprise party thrown for me before. And everything was Canadian themed. The table cloths, plates, decorations and even most of the gifts. Ah!! I will never forget it. It was amazing

So I should probably update you guys on my progress with Weight Watchers...I have lost 11.8 pounds in 4 weeks! I do wish it were more, but hey, I can't complain right?! I am not too sure how the next two weeks will go as we are going camping and it is so hard to stay on track when you are on holidays. Did you know that on average, a person gains 4-7 pounds when on vacation!! It's crazy eh? Anyway, wish me luck and I will let you know how it goes when I get home.

The Ewan McGregor fanlisting was removed from the network!! Naturally, as he is my favourite actor, I applied. I am sure there will be tons and tons of applications, but I am still hopeful. Whatever the outcome is, I am sure the new owner will be great!!

I just made an appointment to get a tattoo for tomorrow! Ah. I am excited. It will be my second and hopefully last. I said to myself that I wouldn't get another one...but I guess I lied. Anyway...the appointment is booked and it's too late now LOL I am going to be getting something very similar to this. It is going to go onto my inner forearm. I hope it won't hurt too much. Anyway, when it is healed and pretty, then I will take a picture and show you guys!!!

After two weeks of WW, I have lost a total of 7.4 pounds! Its definitely a start. I just wish it would come off faster. LOL. Oh well, it's better than nothing

Guess what....my birthday is in a week!!! AHHH I'm going to be 21, which means legal EVERYWHERE in the world!

I have been reading a little bit of fan fiction lately and I don't know why. I went through a phase a few years ago where I read it all the time. Then I just got sick of the stupid pairings and stupid scenarios and my favourite author disappeared from the internet...so I gave it up. But the other day I was reading some Harry Potter fiction and I quite enjoyed myself. I was reading a lot of Ginny/Draco pairings...I don't know why. LOL. Anyway, that's some of what I have been doing lately.

So I totally bought this camera the other day. I know I bought one about a year ago, but this one sounded really good....PLUS, the obvious seller for me, it has a maple leaf on it!!! Perfect for the perfect Canadian Girl. So happy with it. I haven't had much stuff to take pictures of, but on Canada Day I will for sure! I have to show you all my outfit and stuff. HAHAHA.

So thank you for all your well wishes about Weight Watchers. I am doing well so far. In my first week, I lost 4.6 pounds! I was quite pleased. Hopefully it keeps that steady for a while! I have also found some great recipes which make it more "bearable!"

So I joined Weight Watchers on Tuesday with my mom. Day 6 today and I am doing well. I haven't "cheated" at all. Of course it's a little hard to cheat with WW because they say that WW isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It helps you manage portions and helps you not overeat. I mean, I can eat what I want, I just have to count the points for it. I get 30 points a day and I can spend them however I want. I just have to make sure that I drink 6 glasses of water a day, have 5 servings of fruits/vegetables, have 2 servings of milk and 2 servings of oil. So if I wanted to have a piece of pizza, I can. It will be like 10 points or something LOL. I will get measured on Thursday and we'll see how I do for my first week! I feel good and refreshed. I am glad that I am doing something to manage my weight.

Canada day is coming up so soon and I am totally excited. I have found quite a few good Canada buys so far and hopefully there is more this week!! BOO YAH.

There are so many things I should be doing right now and I am not. I am so bad for procrastinating. Number one thing I should be doing right now is working out. I need to lose weight and I told myself I would start today. But I am really exhausted from work. I will go tomorrow though. Before I have any fun (it's my day off!!) I am going to the gym. Yup.

What I have been doing in the last week or so is lots. I have watched many movies, have painted all the baseboards and most of the doors in my house, have been working full time, have changed the electrical outlets and light switches in the house, and have moved 3 couches into our living room from Peter's parents house and finally finished the living room! It's still so weird to actually having something in the living room because it has been empty for months! LOL. Anyway, even though I haven't been online a lot, I think that I have accomplished quite a bit offline! There is still so much to do unfortunately. I will get to it though, in time.

Oh my gosh Am I ever excited for this!!! It's finally coming to Canada on July 11th! Just one day after my birthday!!! WHOOO. From the website, all the features sound so amazing. It even has a built in GPS and I have always wanted one of those! I wanted to watch the keynotes video, but it just won't work properly on my computer. I wish there was another way besides quicktime that I could view it I have never actually held an iPhone, but people who have it say it is the best thing in the world! It's definitely at the top of my wishlist. Mwahaha.

What do you all think of the new iPhone that is coming out????

I'm back from Edmonton. Got tons of stuff and spent too much money. It was nice to get away and they had better weather than Calgary was having so that made me happy. The most exciting thing I found were dry roasted sunflower seeds. They are really hard to find here in Canada. I have looked ALL over Calgary and anywhere me or my parents/friends have gone in the past year, they have looked and have found nothing. The states supposedly have them everywhere so I don't understand why I couldn't find them. But in Edmonton I visited a 'Wal-Mart Supercentre,' which was absolutely amazing, and I found them there! I love Wal-Mart and so putting it together with a grocery store is like a dream come true! LOL. Anyway, that made me pretty happy. I also got lots of Canada clothing and ate way too much junk food. I'm sad to be back and back at work...but only until we go camping for two weeks in July! WHOO.

Peter and I bought our wedding rings today. Totally excited. Mine looks like this which goes great with my engagement ring. Peter's is pretty simple, but nice. I couldn't find a picture of it unfortunately. But it is a mixture of titanium and gold. They are both pretty nice and it's going to be hard to wait until September to wear mine!!

Just so everyone knows...I LOVE Zip.ca. I know I said that in the last post, but it is even more true now because I received my dvds and have already watched one. Ah, it is just so cool and really cheap! Makes me so happy. WHOOO.

So I stumbled upon Netflix the other day and I got really excited because it sounded so perfect and a really great deal. Unfortunately, it's only for residents of the USA My hopes were brought so high and then smashed to the floor. It sucked. And everyone I have asked has said that it is one of the best services in the entire world and they LOVE it. Anyway, after almost giving up, I searched for "Netflix in Canada" on google and it came up with a site called Zip.ca! It's almost exactly the same as Netflix, except that it is for Canadians!!! It has a smaller stock of dvds and I can't view online. But that's ok...I signed up immediately. It's cheap and I get unlimited rentals each month. No late fees or due dates. It's wonderful. So, I need some of your suggestions on what movies/tv shows I should rent!? Please, comment and let me know
