I guess I feel more officially unemployed today than yesterday so it could be considered day one but if I am to follow my logic over feelings (can I actually divide them?), today is day two.
It being such a beautiful day, I packed a lunch and went to the beach. The sand was cold under my bum and the book I was reading was quite pessimistic, it tasted quite off under the blue sky. My mind wandered. I thought about my life in 5 years and whether or not it will involve sufficient daylight and time for strolls.

Kim, being the wonderful person she is, chose black as a colour for the bridesmaid dresses. We were also lucky to have her aunt who owns a dress shop in Regina give plenty of useful advice and suggestions. After tossing some ideas around we all settled on what you see below. It is an amazing dress, the best that I have ever worn. Immediately after first putting it on I wanted it to be the one. It is beautiful and so comfortable. I don’t have a picture of the back, but there are also two long strips of train. If the dress is still up on the Bagley Mischka site, you can see the back view there.
I don’t know what else to say about it but, given how much I have been talking about this dress for the past 4 months, a picture post is due.
Now plotting where and when it can be worn again…

Friday we met Kim at the hotel for manicures. Jemma and Steph were making the women working on their nails laugh so hard that it was quite challenging to get those french manicures straight. We were talking about “drunkles” – every wedding has one – the drunk uncle. I guess that could be “druncle”. I don’t think spelling has been established yet.
Following was champagne in the prime minister suite. The charter of rights and freedoms is framed on the wall in the dining room – just in case he forgets. Kim’s mother left gifts for us in the bedroom. The first time for me to receive a heart-shaped box of chocolates. It filled me with glee and sometime in the future will fill me with chocolate.

Twenty-two bobby pins were just pulled out from my hair. I am close to resting after a day and a half celebration in the sask hotel. Jumping before that, I was trying to write something but never had a chance to finish. Here’s what I started…
I can’t promise that I’ll manage to continue with entire sentences. I feel like taking a break from writing for a while. But still, there are important events to document so, to expand on the previous post a little…
I arrived in Regina late Wednesday night. Kim’s wedding is on Saturday – everyone must know this by now – and I am E-X-C-I-T-E-D. The world will be a better place once her and Jeff are married. More on the wedding later.
For now, yesterday there were wedding-related errands to do and I was happy to spend the day with Kim as I felt like I had been in my own little thesis bubble for so long. We drove around the city which is currently blanketed with mounds of beautiful snow and managed to finish everything at a reasonable hour to continue with one of the main plans that day…cupcakes.
Kim and I share a love for baking. Particularly the visual appeal…
…then my ride came to do pre-wedding bridesmaid errands. So much has happened between then and now (Saturday night) that I think I have to skip complete telling of the cupcake party. Instead, cupcake porn:
Did everyone get that?
