is it a sign???
i was just goofing off on ebay last night while i was on the phone with Will...shocking, that i was on the phone with him, i know, but back to my last thought...goofing off, blah blah blah, and i decided to look for the stroller that i want when we have a baby...and that is the Jeep Cherokee stroller...i have wanted one for a couple of years now...it is so great...lots of room, fun toys for the baby, cup holders...oops...off track again...
so, i find one that i want...gorgeous...only a couple of hours away from our house in CA, so we could go pick it up if we bought it...and i showed will...and i can't remember what he thoughtof it, but i loved it!!!
anyways...the only think i told him, though, was that it was not the original colour that i wanted...i wanted the green one, but the colour didn't really matter, it's just the concept...
well, i walk into the house this afternoon, here in canada, and sitting right by the door is the Jepp Cherokee stoller in...can you guess which colour??? GREEN!!! right in the living room...first thing i saw when i walked in...
i mean...what is this??? can i be??? am i pregnant and not know it??? lol...i know that last one is not true...
kari-lynn's friend is having twins right away and can't use it anymore, so asked if she wanted it...richard said yes, so they got it!!! she said she would sell it to me if i would like...lol
would i like???? heck no, i would LOVE!!!
i covet that stroller...
i should be wary of that, though...one of the ten commandments is "Thou shalt not covet..."
dang commandments...hee hee

WOW!!!
so, it's been awhile since i've blogged, huh??? not as long as it took heather, though, i might add...lol
so i have this funny song in my head..."Under Pressure" by David Bowie...now in an of itself, the song is not funny, per say, it's just that all i can think about as i hum this song in my head is David Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth...and i guess that is what makes it so gosh-darn funny...with his skinny little self, with the mullet of all mullets...dancing around in leotards, i do believe, but i could be remembering that part wrong...i hope i am...lol...i'll just take heather's advice..."Don't think about David Bowie in leotards. Don't think about David Bowie in leotards"...ARGHHH!!! all i can think about is David Bowie in leotards...
what a freakin' funny movie...
DANG!!! i just realized i never watched A Night at the Roxbury last night...someone had it playing on the tv in the back of the store yesterday and it made me want to watch it, and then i never did...i actually ended up going out looking for a birthday present for Solomon whose birthday is in a matter of days...hey, it's better late than never...right, Michelle???
i promise to get on that...i was actually thinking about it today, to be honest...
by the way...i saw the CUTEST baby item today, that i so would have gotten you, if i knew if you were having a boy or girl...so, if you would like to find that out for my information, i would greatly appreciate it...cause it's really hard to buy stuff for a sex-less baby...ha ha ha...i am so funny...
well, anyways...kari-lynn and aubryn are home now, dinner may be cold on the stove...
oh, but i may as well add, that if i didn't think it would come back to haunt me, i woulda lied to ups today...if they don't find the tiara that mysteriously went missing from my package, i am plum out of luck...unless the package was a gift...and i would a said it was, except that on the original invoice it clearly states 'personal item'...dang...i want them to compensate me...cause, let's think about this...they lost something that was in a zipped bag, in a sealed box, and somehow, this is not their fault and they are not responsible...now that is customer service!!!
but it is as Nikki said, "Just think, you have made some gay guy very happy at UPS as he is dancing around with your tiara on his head, singing, 'I'm a princess'"
well, if that doesn't make it ok, then i don't know what would...lol
oh, yeah...and i held a funeral for 2 of my credit cards today...i cut them up...2 of them!!! i feel so liberated...lol
i decided to put them all on 1 card with lower interest, in hopes that i can pay them off sooner...here's to hoping that works...I hope it works!!! I hope it works!!! DANG IT!!! IT BETTER WORK!!!

YAH!!!
my dress is here...in my posession!!! and that's the happy news...
the not so happy news is that somehow...still trying to figure out how...ups lost the tiara that was packed in with it...you ask me, someone at ups stole it...
but YAH!!! i have my dress...
i am so excited...
life is going pretty alright up here, overall...
solomon's birthday is in a week(ish), so i am just about to get him a present...
i sold some stuff on ebay and have had to threaten negative feedback on people cause they have yet to pay, snow is starting to melt cause it was a very sunny day today, was not feeling so hot today, so the ladies at work have decided i must be prego (meanwhile, i sit there insisting it's not possible), and spencer (my boss) pulled 2 prank calls on me today...i knew it was him on the second, though)...i wasn't so nice to him *ahem*, i mean, 'the customer' ;) ;) nudge nudge, on the first one...lol
so, i guess that is about all that is going on right now...i got a really nice clock for our house down i CA...i saw it and thought it was nice, wondered if will would like it, then he came up and saw it on his own and told me he liked it, so i bought it :)

HOLY SNOW!!!
so, the weather forecast called for 10 cm...now i do know the difference between 10 cm and 10 in...and that looks like 10 in...you know why??? because it IS 10 in...that would be 25 cm...and they are calling for another 10 cm tonight...so, does that mean another 25 cm???
this is some nice guys helping push a lady so she could cross the intersection...just to, of course, get stuck when she gets to the other side...this could be a good joke...
why did 3 guys push a ladies car across the street??? so she could get stuck on the other side and have another guy help her...
HA HA HA...knee slapper :)
fyi, kari-lynn and i did go to help too, but just as we started to go across the street, she got out...compliments of the guy who pushed her...
but in all seriousness, it was great to see so many people out there helping others get unstuck...we even had help getting unstucka few times...a few other times i had to do it myself...
and this is someone who decided they just didn't want to take ALL the snow off their roof...i guess they figured after taking off half, they had had enough...
have a happy saturday...and i will be staying in the house now til spring...

planning, planning, and more planning...
will and i have decided to do a small vow renewal type thing when i go back down to the usa...
the plan is that it will be just him, me. a bishop, a photographer and maybe his sister and her bf...
so, yeah, small...
this way i can wear my original dress, and we can renew our vows to each other...
the time apart has been really hard and we thought this would be a really nice way to end it...
i have been looking at photographers, though...yeah, we can't afford one...they are WAY too pricey...the cheapest we found was $650...and that would only give us 48 pics...which, really, isn't more than we would need, but it seems a lot to pay..but, who knows...
if we decide we just can't affford a photograper, will said he would do the pics...he studied photography in school, and has a fancy slr camera (just have to fix the lens)...if he just lines up the shot, we can either use a timer on the camera, or if his sister is there, she can just snap the pic...or, heck, is she knows anything about photography, she could just take the pics...or if janna happens to be good at photography, maybe she would come down and do the pics...lol
it would be a good excuse to hang out and see each other, if nothing else...hee hee
so, yeah, as i mentioned, ups found my dress...it only took 4 months...now i am in a battle with them about getting my money back for shipment...and i'm not just figting it to be mean...i mean, i really do deserve to get it back...and i know i may lose this battle, but i will not go down without a fight...and i shouldn't lose the abttle, cause i am right...ups LOST the package...that is their fault...they did not call kari-lynn OR me, to get a correct return to sender address, when they had written it down wrong, and they did not call either of us to get a return to sender authroization...that's not anybody else's fault but their own...and i know it was turned away at customs, and that is not ups's fault...and if they had returned it to kari-lynn, i would not have a valid point...but the lost it after it was turned away at customs...they did not deliever back to canada...they lost it...so, what this means, if that it is ups's fault that it got lost and was not returned, and so i deserve the money for shipment back!!!
and that is all i have to say about that...lol
have a happy day :)

WINTER WONDERLAND...
it makes me want to start singing at the top of my lungs for all of Edmonton to hear...
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening??? In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland...
i mean, it only took til the middle of march to get this much snow up here (ok...FINE!!! mke me a liar for a few days...march 9)...it's still crazy!!!
but i must say, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
not so beautiful to drive in (when the car you get to drive doesn't have the best for winter tires)...but, hey, it's a car and it's better than the bus :)
so, i thought i would share a couple pics of our wonderful winter wonderland...

EBAY.COM
so, i decided to try to hand out at ebay...will and i have been talkinga obut this for awhile, and now it is time to put it into action...i have a few different items that i have bought and am going to list...
well, i managed to list 1 item successfully, YAH!!! but now i can't seem to add any other items...
how irritating...
i guess i will have to try again tomorrow...
as for other news...
we have the receipt from our first set of immigration paperwork...that means we can now send in the next set...once that is sent in, immigration will send me a letter with date/time of my interview with the US Consulate down in calgary...we are guessing that i will be able to go back to california probably mid-late may...
will has just chosen his schedule for the next year...kinda, anyways...he will be working 12am-8am at the airport...and because he has the most seniority of the night shift officers, he will get to choose which one he wants before they do...he will take whichever shift gets him all or most major holidays off...with that schedule, we should have few problems with being up here in canada for christmas!!!
i am supposed to be going to When a Stranger Calls tongiht with my friend...i have only seen her once in the last month that i have been here, so it will be really nice to hang out with her...
life is good, overall...
snow is coming down like there is no tomorrow and like it is making up for lost time :)
it really is beautiful...we have had some beautiful weather here, even with the snow...
all is well...things are working out great!!!

it's the BIG DAY!!!
will is arriving today is just under 5 hours...but who's counting??? lol
he is only going to be up for a few days, but it will be so nice to see him...
as i look back on the month, it's funny that each day seemed to go by slowly, but overall, it went by fast...which is, of course, exactly what we want...
i can hardly believe a month has already gone by...the sad part is, though, that the paperwork is already taking longer than expected...so, we are hoping that it will pick up the pace in the final process...
hopefully, when he gets home, the 2nd set of paperwork will be able to be sent in...he can't send the 2nd set in, until he gets a receipt saying he sent in the 1st one....and he is still waiting for that...
so, hopefully, it will be there when he gets home...and then he can send it off...
well, that is it for now...
i know i have been horrible about blogging this past week...i guess there was just nothing interesting to say...
well, have a good one and i will see you again later...
p.s. i'm sure i'm the only one that notices this, but, i didn't really post this at 7:31...it was 8:31...for whatever reason i can't set the correct time according to where i am...so, it was 7:31 in california, but 8:31 here in edmonton...so, my point being, that he arrives in just under 5 hours from 8:31 :)
