Sadly, this is not a post about bathtubs; it is a cleanse update.
I have switched to chocolate shakes. I thought vanilla would be more pallatable in the morning, but no. Oh, and i also found out that i should have added more water if i included berries, so that is why it was such a digusting texture. But still, chocolate is the way to go.
After i got that all sorted out, it's actually gone quite well. I can eat a 'normal' meal once a day, so it's not like i'm starving myself at all. And i don't feel hungry all the time either. And let's be honest, i usually only eat one good meal a day anyway, so i'm just cutting out the crap.
Thus far, i have lost 5 lbs. (in as many days). However, continuing on the honesty track, i know exactly where those 5lbs are... they are not lost, they are simply hovering near by, waiting for me to finish this cleanse so they can jump back on. I'm okay with this. Because...
I borrowed my cousin's wedding gown last night and tried it on. Of course it doesn't fit (i knew it would be too small), buuuuut... I can get it ON, which is a great start. The only problem is that there is a large gap between zipper edges. Now, it's not like i'm willing to starve myself for the next 6 months or anything ridiculous like that, but seriously people, i've got a photographer i love, i have a new lease on the job i love, i just got accepted into the class i need for school, i've lost five pounds... With all this fun and excitement, i must continue to nurture the seed of hope i have that i might be able to fit into this dress by the end of June.
(To be continued. Or you can just come to our wedding and see for yourself!)

i'd rather be dirty
So, today i started an isagenix cleanse. Yes, it does remind me of a creepy pyramid company, but i figured it's always good to give it a go. I was wrong.
This morning as i tried to choke down my first meal-replacement shake, i thought, "Waaaaah!" Oh, i also thought that, despite the blueberries i added for good measure, the gooey dough-like substance trying to pull off being called a shake was the single most HEINOUS thing ever. Seriously, if i was offered a dirty nappy to lick and never have to drink another evil shake again, i'd consider the nappy, people!!
Needless to say, it was a chore. Between gagging on the goop, dry heaving between every swallow, and downing two glasses of water, it's no wonder that i felt nauseous for the next four hours. Aha! That must be how it helps you lose weight-- it makes you feel so gross that the idea of putting anything in your mouth for the next week sends you into convulsions. It's all starting to make sense now. Well, in any case, i am starting to think that the forty extra pounds of love i am carrying around is not so bad after all.
p.s. i am supposed to consume two of those gawdawful things a day. i am going to my sister's tonight, so i thought i'd get it over with at breakfast and lunch. however, i was too traumatized to try again at lunch, so i had nothing. nothing! you know something is wrong when i pick nothing over something. sheesh.

plans?!
Why is it that some people are planners and others are not? It is a mystery to me. I am a planner. I love planning. I love dreaming about things and watching them come to be. However, as i have winched about before, planning one's own wedding is not as fun and exciting as one might expect it to be.
I have no wedding plans. There are 177 days left until the big day. And absolutely nothing is confirmed. I am not worried about this. Many other people are.
I have bigger fish to fry. For example, my job. (Which we still cannot discuss, because i am still in the dark about what the heckle and jeckle is going on with it. But i should know something more at the end of next week).
But for those of you who like all this ridiculousness, i will leave you with a picture. It is of me trying to squeeze into a wedding gown two sizes too small. (Much like the Grinch who Stole Christmas). Fear not, no one (besides my ego) was hurt in the taking of these pictures. My friend Janice took these; it is her friend's dress. I like Julia's dress better, but this one is beautiful and might be the closest fit.

The ICE Idea
A recent article from the Toronto Star, "The ICE Idea", is catching on and it is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a loved one in the case of an emergency. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of a contact person or persons and store the name as "ICE".
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to file 'next of kin' under.
Following a disaster in London the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE)" campaign. The idea is that you store the word "ICE" in your mobile phone address book, and with it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". In an emergency situation, emergency services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number programmed under "ICE".
Please forward this. It won't take too many forwards before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!
Well, i'm not sure how this "really could save my life," but it's a good idea, just the same.
This would also be a good time to thank the nice Albion Ferry workers for dialling "dad" and leaving a message when my sister left her cell phone on the ferry.
Also, this is a good defense for why i programmed my number into JM's phone under "My Honey." Teehee.

Christmas Is Coming!
1. Egg Nog, Mulled Cider, or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate. Starbucks makes the yummiest peppermint hot chocolate with whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles. (But beware, their reg. hc is grody to the max).
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Oh, he just delivers them. Mrs. Clause does the wrapping bit.
3. Do you decorate the outside of your home with lights? Any other displays?
Yes, of course! Lots of lights. (But noooo leaving them up all year!)
4. Poinsettias, Holly or Mistletoe?
Poinsettias, although holly is quite beautiful. And mistletoe is oh! so practical.
5. When do you put up your decorations?
November 12th. Right after Remembrance Day. And they have to come down by Valentine's Day so those decorations get their chance to shine!
6. Do you prefer to give or receive?
Giving is so much fun. My mom is the best person to give presents too-- she honestly loves everything and is so happy about it. (If you tell me she's just pretending, i'll send bad karma your way!)
7. Cut tree, live tree, artificial tree, or Festivus pole?
This year, artificial. But i do love cut/live trees because they smell soooo good.
8. Have you ever made a gingerbread house?
Yes, but not for a long time. I would rather have cookies than candies.
9. Do you display a nativity scene?
Several. It's just so peaceful and awe-inspiring. Not to mention the reason behind all the hulubaloo.
10. When did you learn the truth about Santa?
I don't remember. I think i always knew. We always got presents from Santa and had our pictures taken with him and wrote letters... but it was never the focus. He was (is?) like a fun, imaginary part of the celebration of Jesus' birth.
11. Snow! Love it or dread it?
Shudder! I despise snow.
12. Can you ice skate?
Yes. Although i try to avoid it. The whole, "freezing cold, pillow strapped to my butt, toes getting pinched" ordeal just doesn't excite me.
13. Do you open your gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?
We're allowed to open one on Christmas Eve, our stockings on Christmas morning (and maybe one or two little ones), and the others when we meet up with the rest of the fam on Christmas afternoon.
14. What is the most important thing about the holidays for you?
Being with family. Just sitting quietly in front of a fire, surrounded by soft lights and decorations, soaking up the peace Christmas brings.
15. What is your favorite holiday cookie?
There are many: Russian Teacakes (also dubbed "Mexican Weddingcakes"), Rocky Mountain Christmas Candy, Almond Cookies (with pink and blue and green icing), Fudge, Peanutbutter Chocolate Balls and... well, really, is there any other time that we set aside days and days for baking?!
16. What tops your tree?
An angel, but she's a bit tipsy-- i'll have to look for a new one.
17. What is your favorite Christmas song?
Right now? O Holy Night. Because i just got the Third Day "Christmas Offerings" album and Mac Powell sounds so dreamy when he belts out "oh niiiight divIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIne..." near the end. *sigh*
18. What is your favorite Christmas movie or story?
Love Actually. While You Were Sleeping. The Grinch.
19. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
SLURP! Yum-yum! I am practically drooling just thinking about Edaleen Dairy Candy Cane Ice Cream.
20. Do you send Christmas cards?
Usually I am too late. So i write up a few and hand them out when i see people at our annual open house or the Christmas Eve service at church.
21. What kind of lights do you decorate your Christmas tree with?
White lights. This year my tree has gold ribbon and glittery pointsettas on it. It's so beautiful. But if i had time and energy, i would do it up like we used to at home: homemade strings of popcorn, dried apple slices, and cranberries.
One year we were string popcorn and my sister couldn't figure out why we were getting so far ahead of her. She finally looked down beside her, where the string was hanging over the edge of her chair, and saw our little puppy had wedged himself between her chair and the fireplace and was happily feasting on her decoration!
22. Favorite Christmas memory as a child?
Baking with my mom and sisters. Listening to Grandpa read the Christmas story. Laughing with Nana. Opening presents!
23. Best present that you have received?
The ghetto-blaster we were each given the year my parents got married.
24. Turkey, Ham, Seafood, or Soup for your holiday dinner?
Turkey. Always. I absolutely love it. We only make it twice a year, so no need to vary.
25. Describe your favorite Christmas ornament.
Every year my parents give us an ornament. My mom painted one that has a button on the back that plays music. I also love the ancient one that has a teeny nativity scene in a white mesh half-bulb.
Hot Chocolate. Starbucks makes the yummiest peppermint hot chocolate with whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles. (But beware, their reg. hc is grody to the max).
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?

Old dog, new trick
One day Cuddles the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on them with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike. A look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard so off he goes. The old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet. Just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says "Now where's that darned monkey? I sent him off over an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
Moral of this story:
Don't mess with old geezers... age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! B.S. and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Bisous!
*"Bisous" is the friendly I Love You of the French. It is quite versatile as it can be used to finish conversations, sign letters and demand kisses. I find myself using it to complete all e-mails, not for an 'I know French' pretentiousness, but because it is a sweetly familiar sentiment with which to close. (http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art43580.asp)
Since Nikol has been on her kissy-kissy theme, and my man is far away, it has me thinking about past (and future! ;)) kisses.
When JM and I first started dated (seven and a half looooong years ago), he wanted a kiss. And i wouldn't give it to him! Haha. One night when he was leaving my house, i went out on my parents second floor balcony to wave bye to him. He said something again about wanting a kiss and i told him sorry, i'm not coming back downstairs. His retort was that i didn't need to; he would come up and give me one. Thinking he was crazy b/c the front door was locked behind him, i said sure.
Next thing i know he was climbing up the rock siding of my parents house to reach the balcony! It was totally something out of a fairytale. *sigh* Even remembering it makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Well, after all his hard work, i couldn't leave him hanging... So he got his smooch. But really, i was the one who got the best end of that deal! xoxo
