reservations under "hotties"

so i was trying to make this look fun, you know, some pics to the left, some center, some to the right.... it totally didn't work. the funness shines through anyway.
girls night = total success.
there was myself, Lynnel, Jenna + baby Haylie, Kerri, Sarah, Kerilyn + baby Akele, Lilian, Cory + baby Tayah, Laura, Michelle, Danielle, Adrienne, Katie, Coralie, Colette, and Sarah Jane. We went to Alexanders, a perfect place for the start of girls night.
jeff and i actually went there for supper at 6 and i had the most delicious food EVER (my new fav restaraunt, how did i not know how good the food was there???). we were joined by a very creepy man who wouldn't leave us alone but we had a good laugh over it anyway. jeff was outta there as soon as the first girl arrived :)
the kitchen guys called us "the hot table". that was pretty obvious. just check out our hottness:

(Lynnel did so good. she only texted her new boyfriend ONCE! i was so proud.)

girl blog...

i bought a bridesmaid dress today! for my friend Angela (aka angelina jolie), getting married in August! i realize i have a no shopping rule for one more month but this is mandatory.

it's G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! I'm in love with it. it's bright blue KIND OF LIKE THIS! except its more turquoise than that... anyway. it's so pretty. it's very light and flowy and 3/4 length and strapless and it is so far my most favorite dress ever. it's totally a "Kristin" color(after PINK).

side pause: Tania - no fear, i have no doubt that i will love our dresses for your wedding just as much!!! I just haven't seen them yet, he he. soon we will pick them out!

i love dresses and owning dresses. i love shopping for them and i love looking pretty in dresses and getting to wear high heels and pretty earrings and putting on make-up. i LOVE this part about being a girl. JUST LOVE IT.

i also love weddings, and i definitely have my fair share of them this year:

Kristy-Anne/Darryl - July 27/07
Jeff's cousin, Stephanie - July 07
Jeff's other cousin July 07
Kerri/Rob - Aug 11/07
Angela/Kim - Aug 18/07
Raina/Garrett (Jeff's friend) - Sept long
Tania/Clarke - Oct 13/07

That is SEVEN freaking weddings. i have to go "wedding guest" dress shopping! i was at Bryan's with Angela looking at dresses for her wedding to see if we could possibly go cheap (so didn't work) anyway they have ALL their summer/fall dresses on sale BIG TIME right now and i love about 100 of them. BUT NO CAN DO UNTIL MARCH. am i making the wrong decision? i mean i have 7 weddings to go to, 5 of which i will not be wearing a bridesmaid dress. i currently have 3 dresses that will work which not too many have seen...i think i need 2 more.

no i am still going to wait for my Edmonton extravaganza. oh is Jeff ever going to have fun!!!

girls and flowers

Jeff bought me some flowers for my birthday. I thought they were pretty pretty. They were sent to me at work, which is one of the best feelings a girl can get. Especially when you work in an atmosphere full of women ;) Women really appreciate the flowers and ooh and ahh over them, and say "oh i wish my husband would send me flowers! your man is a keeper!". trust me, every time a girl at work gets flowers from her significant other, we go through the same process. and then we all go home and say to him, "so and so got flowers today, how come you never send me flowers?" and the cycle continues...

besides flowers he got me great seats to see jann arden. i told him back in May when they went on sale that if he was smart, that is what he should get me for my birthday and he actually did it. so i'm pretty excited to see her.

thats all for now...

hair, holidays & highways

ladies: i need some sort of hair "smoothing" product - it must be light and non greasy/oily. i just want to make my hair shinier (if thats possible, muwhahah) and have zero frizzies. suggestions, please?

so far i'm enjoing being a lovely brunette. a girl at work here said she watched this documentary where they dyed the hair of a guy and a girl blonde for one day and brunette the next, and sent them out to compare reactions and attitudes. well apparently the blondes got more attention and flattery. the brunettes got more respect.

we'll see about that i guess.

i've had a couple people say they prefer me as a blonde and that is fine. the most important thing to me is that i've actually finally tried it. it won't stay forever probably so no need to wory.

well for those who don't care about my hair, let's move on to the next topic.

i had a great great weekend. i know i said we were going to greenwater but we ended up at anglin lake on friday night with renae and andrew and their cute little 2 year old son xander. then on saturday morning we headed to marean lake and stayed at a cabin there that was way to small for the 12 people and a four month old baby that stayed there! oh but we had a good time. sat night we went "glow golfing." i'm talking real golf, not mini golf, where the golf ball and the green glowed in the dark. everyone was given glow sticks that you could see for miles so that the group behind you didn't start golfing until you were gone. it was fricken fun. sunday and monday we spent the whole day at the beach, boating, tubing and waterskiing and suntanning, just the way summer is meant to be spent. at the lake. we ate like kings - steaks and ribs and potatoes and salads, not to mention midnight hot dog roasts. mmm hotdogs. it was wicked fun.

on our way home on monday jeff showed off his highway mastery to me. seriously that boy knows his saskatchewan highways. half the time we were driving on grid roads, then another time he went in the opposite direction that saskatoon was pointing and we ended up taking a ferry across the river and ended up on a different highway and made it home faster than ever. yes i was impressed. and the little mini ferry was fun too. (carmen - do you remember on our way home from sylvan lake that year and we took a ferry in alberta with my family? that whole trip was so much fun!).

i'm so excited that this week is already half over. this summer is flying by, it's already august. hard to believe.

who even knows what this fall will hold?!?!?
