So long!

As I ponder the twighlight of single life, I think of many songs - I do that a lot. Many times in life, I like to compare my circumstances to songs or movies or books I've read. I don't know if it 's just a neat quirk I have, or if I am trying to feel included in something bigger than myself. Either way, here are a few of the songs:

Elton John's Candle In The Wind
Billy Joel's Good-bye Hollywood
Billy Joel's These Are The Days
Bryan Adams' Summer of '69

The best thing tho, is not that I'm saying good-bye to the Single Life; but, that I'm moving forward into a new life a life that is not just my own. This is the 'something bigger than myself' that is really making me included!

In two days, WE will be One!

In-laws

I'm getting married this Saturday, and am looking forward to the new in-laws I will be getting. My parents-in-law are fantastic people, and am quite happy with how we get along. My brother-in-law is become a good friend of mine. And the best-friends-in-law are great! Had a lazy evening w. my bride-to-be and one of her best friends the other night. You know, it's true, sometimes she is funny at night - Michelle, you've got such a great sense of humor; and, I'm looking forward to getting to know you more as the years go on!
Tonight, I'm having dinner w. the in-laws and mom-in-law's parents. I've met them before, but that was years ago, so they need a refresher of who their granddaughter is marrying. From the stories I hear, I'm thinking it should be a good evening, with a good chance of controversy.... I'll try to keep things low-key. :)

They say when you marry someone, you're not just marrying them, but their family as well. Well, I can say this - I am blessed with this new family I'm joining!

Yay for In-laws!

Mini Me

I found this pic of me (age 2) while I was cleaning up my room. Aren't I adorable?!

Cleaning house

So, I've got to move in less than a week! Well, it's kinda even sooner. So, last night, from about 10:45 - 12:00 I packed my room up. It's not as bad as most of my friends have dreaded - most everything I have is either still in a box from when I moved back here, or is thrown out. It's the furniture that's going to be the biggest pain. It's all got to go into my garage before I get married, so that the people who have bought my place can move in while I'm gone. Busy, busy!

So, here's to sleepless nights, packing, and rushing toward that glorious day when I answer that wonderful question, "I do!"

Where's the time go?!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged! Over two weeks!! I think that's the longest run since I started on that sunny October day. So what should I write about?

I've not really been pondering much of any depth lately. Mostly, I've had thoughts of finishing the deals on my houses (selling one, buying the other), and how to move it all. The possession date is Aug. 31; however, I am celebrating my nuptual with the beloved Jennifer on Aug. 27, and hastily departing on our honeymoon only two days later - we don't return 'til Sept. 5.... It's quite the situation.
I think I've finally figured out how to move my fish. Yes, that's really been the mainstay of my thoughts, lately. I'm going to be creating my most gorgeous showpiece, yet. I'll be sure to post pics when I get it all set up.
I think that I think I have more time than I really do. I've got this habit of leaving everything 'til the very last minute. It bugs some people, but everything always come thru in the end. I'm not worried... yet!

Some things that are getting my attention in the news these days:

Hockey, hockey, hockey!
Both Telus & CBC have locked out their unions (I think they want to be as popular as hockey is in Canada)
Oil prices are so high - and so is the Canadian Dollar (glad I live in AB - we've got lots of oil!)

Some other headlines catch my eye, but I haven't been too intrigued by much lately (check out Undercover Nerd for a whacked out news story!).


OK, so I'm done. A pathetic post, I know.... I'll have more to say once I get moved and wedded, and all that.

Blog-out!
