2月26日 I will NEVER step foot in a BRIDAL shop AGAIN... YOu can choose to not have me in your upcoming bridal party, but know this, I will NEVER step my foot in a bridal shop again! Why you ask?
Forget about the BRIDEZILLA look out for thieving bridal shop owners. I purchased a corset through e-bay at about 75 % off and need a simple, long white skirt... As soon as you step FOOT in these stores, they are ramming 1000$ dresses down your throat.. I can order a skirt in, only if I get the other matching top... HELLO I have a matching top? Why am I going to pay for something I'm not going to use?
The scene
I walk into a store with about 50 brides, and 2 clerks, great.. I wait forever to talk to SOMEONE, tell them exactly what I want as to not take up to much time, present an ultimate easy sale ... "Hello I would like this skirt, in my size, in white do you have it?" "Yes, we do ! We can order it in!(Shows me the white it matches yipee!) " " Great, can you measure my waist, order the size, I will pay for it in full today..." " No we can't do that, you have to order both pieces..." Apparently this is the case with all "seperates " why do you call it a separate if you won't SELL it that way? Happened AGAIN and AGAIN... Keep in mind, a long simple white skirt wasn't cheap 180$ for a satin long skirt.. I'm willing to pay UPFRONT for it, just measure my waist, order it.....She may have well said .. "NO we can't do that, order a 1000$ dress or leave..." The other redondulous thing is wedding dresses 1000-10,0000$ take over FOUR MONTHS to order in, who's getting suckered in here? FOR A DRESS YOU WEAR ONE DAY? Bite me, I will NEVER step foot in one of these shops again... Thankfully after telling mah mah Gail it literally BROUGHT ME TO TEARS she offered to make me a skirt, which is very good of her..
Thanks mah mah....
And my advise? AVOID BRIDAL SHOPS AT ALL COSTS!
Find a good mah mah to help you out, or go to a dress maker and save a lot of money! Yes, you CAN buy bridal patterns! And save money, and AVOID snobs that want to ram shit down your throat you don't want to wear!
I love you!
Luv
Katt 1月16日 Queen St W avoid the Paper place, unless you want to be ridiculed..Things are going well in the wedding plan department. My good friend JO came down to the city with her fiancee Andy, both of them helped us gather the paper and stuff for our invitations. You would be surprised on how much you can spend on ribbon, however we came under budget for the cost, so far..Now we need to figure out exactly what we are going to PUT inside the invitations.. If you need to shop for fancy paper I DO NOT recommend "The Paper Place" www.thepaperplace.ca on Queen St W.. I think they forgot they are in the service industry.. We where almost all ready to wrap it up in that store entirely, we had picked out various kinds of paper, glues,stamps, and had a lot of about 500$ worth of wedding supplies sitting in front of us.. We had decided on a pre-cut card with envelopes and stickers are PART of what we where buying..had it all arranged and layed out. I wanted to have a quick peek inside of one of the pre-packaged envelopes we where intending on buying 10 at 12 $ when I was approached by a rather rude girl with dark hair and glasses..
"What are you doing?" "I'm having.."" Do not open that , it ruins the paper, and if you take it out you'll bend it and ruin it, then we can't sell it..." she snapped.. "Well I'm just..." trying to have a look as we are.." She turned her back on me mid sentence and stormed off! I couldn't believe it! It had a sticky opening on the outside, and up to that point until I was SURE I wanted it, I just wanted to have a quick peek at dimensions.. At that point with my fiancee and two friends looking at the present treatment with discust, we all left.....We found more paper a couple stores down, with better service. We had to go BACK to the paper place, as there was no fancy white paper stores on the street we could see, but instead of spending 500 $ on paper and supplies, we spent 200$.. and even with that my fiancee was upset we spent ANYTHING in that store.. I'm generally the easiest shopper, if I can't get help we'll make due on our own..If you want to help, great, but being snapped at and driven out of a store due to embarrasment is not a way to treat a customer.. Funny thing is I LOVE Queen St W, for it's local merchants, I LOVE to support local business..However, I will NEVER go back to the paper place, again..
Luv

6月15日 Everfading admiration I am strong,
sometimes so strong to see past the need..
of comfort and attention,of love when it should be provided, without asking..
I forgive, I bend, I sway my way for you,
I live and I breathe, for you, but I need to think about ME more often..
Will you be strong enough to make it through,why does everything change?
I tell you what I NEED to no avail, my plees go unanswered..
Yet I go out of my way for your needs, or make efforts....to please you...
What did I say, or do to be treated so differently?
Why does time change people and there promises so much?
Why can they no longer see someone's pain?
Why do I endure it?
What will change, if anything if I move on, is it me, or is it you..
Talking does not help, communication does not enter your mind..
You have priorities, I am becoming a hassle, a nuisance, at the bottom of the heap of things..
Yet I hold you as a top priority
I do not need you all the time,
But the times I really do need you, you are not there more often as time passes..
Do I love on, do I try again, do I work on what's left, do I hold hope in something that may not be there?
Only you hold the answers to the questions,
And my questions go unanswered, so I sit here wondering,
Will it all work out?
Or will I be alone forever.......
Do I stay and try?
Or do I walk away, and try again..
All unanswered questions....
katt 2月15日 Valentines masacreEvery Valentine's Day is like a mini nightmare to me. Something, every damn year goes wrong. No before I go on, this is not about James. My day at work went really well. I was quite industrious, and got alot done. I am on the train my phone rings. It's D-rock! YIPEEE! I haven't heard from him since Dec 24th. I remeber this exactly as he was supposed to be with us Christmas, and skipped out on us. He is having family issues, so we offered to take him in for Christmas. Apparently, he ended up working. I had called him over two months, with no reply. Early this week, I left a soppy message along the lines of " We are not mad at you, we miss you, call us, we have been friends to long for an argument to get in our way, let's talk. I guess I sounded REALLY sad, as he called and appoligized a million times. So, the over all conversation was good with D-rock. I get home to see James has gotten me lovely roses, and a nice card, but before I can open it my Father calls. "Hello sweetie, Happy Valentines Day!" and we have a pleasant conversation afterwards. I hang up to hear my cell phone beeping at me, oh I have an e-mail from my other Dad. I go check it. I have been quite concerned as my Dad's dog poor Benny Boy has been in bad shape. He was admitted to the vet's Tuesday, and apparently he almost died. So I rush off to check my e-mail, as Tonka looks at me whinning... Take me out I gotta go!! is written all over his face. I read the e-mail. My heart drops. My brothers are currently living with their mother. And my Dad does not see them anymore. If I have lost you, I have two Dads, and three mothers. I know, confusing, both of my parents have been through three marriages. My stepfather(Dad) did alot of my childhood raising.Anyways, I am not exactly sure as to WHY my brothers are neglecting my Dad, but it's been awful. The worst thing about it is that I did the same thing to him when I was younger. We didn't talk for five years. I felt at the time being thirteen, I had good reason not to keep close contact for that five years. Of course, I was wrong it is never the right answer to ignore problems in your family, or neglect family members. Work it out! Anyways, the e-mail expressed that Benny Boy was still sick, and that he was mad at not only my brothers, but at me. And, I am unsure why. Apparently somehow I am not out of the woods after fourteen years have passed. For fourteen years, I have been trying to mend the damage that happpened when I skipped out on part of my family, to be with the other part of my family.I hope I have not lost you.Anyways, I have been earnestly trying to be a better adult then I was as a teenager. I have ALWAYS had a very independent and stubborn nature about me. ALWAYS. It can be good and bad. I think I am pretty good on the stubborn part, however my independent nature is actually nutured by James. James is very independent too. So I replied to this e-mail as the the effects of, what am I to do, if after fouteen years, you have not yet forgiven me? I have done everything in my power to make a point of seeing you, repairing burned bridges etc..It was a long, raw e-mail. No editing, purely from the heart honesty.Somehow, he is also under the impression I am "hiding" facts from him about my brothers. Which I am not. They are good kids, and are doing well however they are doing bad things by not communicating with Dad, and, it hurts me a great deal to see him go through something he already did with me.It hurt me further, that this e-mail had a tone that somehow I was not telling him things, and as I said I am an honest person. Ask my father, I can't lie as you can clearly read it all over my face if I am. So I gave up lies and deception along with my fifty pounds of hairspray when I was a teenager. So my mind is mingling with all of this. I am hurting, really bad. My Dad means the world to me, he's always been there for me, and I feel really upset that somehow he thinks I am not doing my part as a daughter or something.
So, I go downstairs with all this emotion to see James, and poor Tonka again. I grab Tonka, and take him outside. I still have not opened my card or flowers. I come back to se James sulking "You wanna get some Chinese food?" sure, I reply. "What's wrong James?" " I want to play hockey, but I think you want me here for Valentines" well he hit that nail on the head. " I do want you here, however if you are going to sulk all night, go play hockey!" So, off he went to play around 1030. He got home around 1am. I still could not sleep. I was up crying my eyes out I was so upset. James saw I was crying. "What's wrong?" the look of guilt crossed his face. "It's not you babes" "Oh, still thinking about your Dad?" "Yes, I need sleep, let's not discuss it now" Why?? WHY?? WHY??Am I so cursed every Valentines day with something so sad?
I finally drifted off around 2 am, great five hours sleep. I will be the energizer bunny tomorrow, I thought to myself.
katt 12月20日 Hectic Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!And so the fun begins!So another year another hectic Christmas. For those of you who don't know me so well both my parents have been remarried three times each, so my family is hudge. This year starts in my fair city Toronto. Christmas eve, and Christmas day will be spent with James, the rents, Mikey and Amanda, with our addition D-rock. D-rock has not been getting along with his family, so I invited him to James family for X-mas, can't have a good friend all alone for Christmas. So I need to scramble together a stocking for D-rock. Then boxing day off to London where my aunt 's family, and uncle's family and my grandparents, parents and sister will be . We have organized a poker tourney, so it should be fun. I have to make a wifesaver and complete breakfast for Christmas morning, and a shrimp dip for boxing day. Then on the 28th we are heading to Ottawa to see my mum's her hubby my brothers, and possibly my step-father, and hopefully some friends. This year in total I am giving away twenty five cookie tins, and my tree is crammed with gifts!
Yeah! I will be glad when it's all over again so I can relax! We are returning on the 31st and have no plans as of yet for NY eve...James is working at Leaf's T.V on the 31st till 10 pm.. :O( .. I am back to work on the 4th.
Luv katt 12月12日 FUDGE I AM PISSED!So, James got home this weekend, that was great. What is not so great is he thinks he might have to work in the middle of X-mas holidays! And what is pissing me off grrrrrrrrr is I asked him before he was hired for this job to have this week off! He has been gone for three weeks, and I get laid with this shit! It wouldn't be a deal at all, if we were not expected to visit three cities in a week, Toronto , London and Ottawa. My family is expecting me, and with or without him I am going! I know that a job is important, but DAMN ruin the X-mas break? I am freaking pissed! I e-mailed him why not work on the weekends leading up to break? Or nights? Which will be hard for me as well basically organizing all of X-mas, or what's left to organize X-mas all on my own! I am mad :O( angry upset, ridiculous !I have to deal with this SHIT now! Like I am not already under tremendous stress, for the past three weekends all I have been doing is preparing for X-mas! Buying gifts, wrapping them, baking cookies cleaning the house, doing the decorations etc etc ... I will have a good time without him regardless if he comes or not. At this point I could give a rat's ass if he comes or not.. I feel distance from him, he does not respect the fact that my family at CHRISTMAS is more important than how much time he has to finish his work! Anyways, this is obviously a really bad slam at James I do love him, but my patience is wearing VERY thin!
We'll have to see how this unfolds!
katt
PS: Just found out he is going for business for another 2 weeks in Feb OH FREAKING JOY! I may as well be living all by my freaking self!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PPS: Well all is somewhat well, he is coming although I have a shitload of work to do on my own so he can work before we go away! 12月5日 And the crazy weekends continue....This weekend went fairly well, almost without a hitch. I am coming out of this weekend feeling more tired then I did going into it though. I went to bed lonely, and alone again on Friday. On Saturday however Christa came by with Morgan, and my auntie came by as well. We all went shopping for the day. It started out at Dufferin mall, and then we went to the Eaton's center. I got that fab salad again at Mr Green Jeans, it so rocks. We ended up shopping for an unprecidented SEVEN hours. Christa Morgan and I were all supposed to go to Potter that evening, but alas we were all to tired. So we ended up watching the DVD's I got Morgan for X-mas, Fraggle Rock. I figured Fraggle Rock would be something both Christa and Morgan could watch together, and I loved everything personally Henson ever did myself. It was a hit, she didn't want to go to bed. I woke the sleeping Christa up after that and we watched Season 3 of Absolutly fabulous, I so love that show while sipping vino. I was up again early on Sunday wrapping gifts, then D-rock came by too help me with cookies. We did a bit of pre-baking shopping,and then managed to get five recipes done, three dozen each. D-rock, your rum balls rock and youknow it! We also got the coolers out, and cleaned, and all the tins cleaned and ready to go. So this is where I give my thank you(s);
Thanks Christa for keeping me company, and all the gossip.. You know you rock !
Thanks aunt Jo, once again for saving my arse, helping me keep sane , driving all our shopping bodies ,and giving me good gift ideas for others, and you know you rock!
D-rock, whenver I need help your there, and with a smile to boot to help out whenever I am distressed and down, you cheer me up monkey boy!
I love you all,
Cheers,
Luv Katt 11月29日 Has this ever happened to you??SO something really fucked up happened yesterday. I come home and check my mail, and what do I find? A mastercard that I didn't apply for!
I FREAKED out, James just joined the condo board, and he told me that people are going through the garbage at our townhomes opening new credit card accounts with information they pick out of the garbage. He told me this happened to a resident about two weeks ago. In fact, some crack junkie litterally was stuck in the garbage chute, so stuck that the crack whore lost a finger!Crazy, anyways....
I call this Mastercard company, and they say that it was opened on THIER own will, due to the fact I held a peoples account over five years ago, with exceptionally good credit .This account was paid off in full and the account was closed over three years ago.Just to make sure this was not a scam, I called a local people's jewelers, and got the phone number for there credit company, and yes indeady, this was the case.My question (s)to anyone who can answer them are;
 How can they open a credit account with no agreement on my behalf to go ahead with this?
 How many of you has this happened to?
I moved, how did they get my new address after I closed the account three years later?
 All of this is very mysterious, and I got next to no straight answers. Its scarry the amount and kind of information that is available to these ASSHOLES!Can you believe for me to talk about this situation the guy was asking me to verify my information?? ( I didn't )Needless to say, I will NEVER in my life shop at PEOPLE"s jewelers again, or open a CITI-BANK mastercard EVER!!!!!
If you know a non-solicitation web-site, let me know too! Or any other suggestions....
Luv katt 10月27日 Missing my JamesJames left on business to Trenton on Tuesday am. He will be gone until Friday. It was nice that he was able to drive our brand new Chev Optra AKA mooney to Trenton instead of the green bastard.
He will be going away for THREE long weeks Nov 20th to Dec 9th I am going to miss him very much. He is going to Vancouver for two weeks, then Winnipeg for a week, how exciting for him. The cat's go nuts for attention as usual and I am having a hard time filling in for daddy as he is away on business.
 In brighter news, I am going to the One of a Kind Craft show, finally with my Grandma and step-mum, auntie , and other female family members. They have been doing this for a couple years, but I am always to busy to go. Just happens to be American Thanksgiving which means we will be slow at my work , so lucky me!
I am looking forward to my party this weekend as well.Yeah HALLOWEEEN!!! We are going as the Osbournes,
Kelly-me
Sharon: Rachel
Jack: D-Rock
Ozzy: James
Should be good times, I love my friends every one of them. They are all good to me!
 PS: I am sorry about my online book, I have not been inspired to write for a bit, but I will get back to it eventually.
8月23日 Last show ever SIX FEET UNDERCAN I TELL YOU HOW UPSET I WAS TO WATCH SIX FEET UNDER END FOREVER LAST NIGHT? ????I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A CLUE IT WAS THE SHOW'S FINALE.... I CRIED MY EYES OUT AT THE END....
MAN LIFE REALLY SUCKS BIG ROCKS SOMETIMES.... 6月14日 Feelin HOT HOT HOTIt's been real hot here in the T.dot, we are about to break records for the most smog ever as well. I am beginning to think, do I want to eat the vegtables I have so painstakeingly watered and nourished every day? Damn straight I can't wait... The beans are coming along real well, and the tomato plants, onions, herbs and radishes are also doing well, but the peppers? For some reason they are not taking off, and I am not using fertilizer! I am so going to sit in the lake this weekend again, too damn hot to do anything else these days..Perhaps I will remember to use my snorkel this time and see something other than sand ,rocks and zebra mussells . A random fish would be nice. I miss Freddie, the big bass at Christie Lake, the buggar will follow you around in the water all day and wait for you to crack and hand feed him crawfish, however he does alude the fisherman! Damn fish has been around for at least ten years, it's hudge and scared the shit out of Derek last year. Becky and Christa have moved in, good for them! Becky needed to move out of the rents, and Christa needed a roomie I hope it works out well with them.Perhaps the poor girl can slow up a bit on the work load! Luv Kat 6月6日 Hectic Weekend!Well, we managed to get it all done somehow, the cleaning , cooking , gift buying , visiting etc etc, Christa's party was great , however a rather unfortunate incident happened, one dude grabed a small friend of ours and shook him till he passed out, needless to say he was not allowed back on the party bus. I can only imagine what this guy does to his girlfrind if he assults total strangers. Shopping with my auntie was amazing as per usual, she's a real trooper to follow and help out Becky and me, plus she was nice enough to realize that I was super busy over the weekend and brought us all lunch.. It doesn't get much better than that, thank you once again AUNTIE! Love Katt 6月3日 Talk about stress!!Am I the only person on this earth that get's totally stressed over all the shit I have to jam pack into one weekend??? Here's my list (nuts) 1. Bake a cake 2. dinner party for four requires full shopping for booze and food
3. go to return or possibly exchage things at Marks work warehouse 4. Clean the entire house 5. Attend a bus party, put up a tent, help with the party, take the tent down and get out of Burlington in good time to,,,, 6. Entertain my auntie and cousin, feed them lunch and go shopping at Kensington market and on Queen W......... 7. Buy a birthday gift , and card by Sat afternoon 8. Got to ikea (tonight) 9. Wrap fathers Day's gifts and get them out for Monday.. I am so going to the cottage next weekend to LOAF and possibly watch the boys finish the roof off, well I will sing kareoke and definatly as always have my hands in the kitchen!! Thats what I get for not being in the city for two three day weekends! Alot of work~ :( James is going nuts telling me I have too much to do, and I should pace or rather space it out, I cannot do this, these must be done by certain times..
Love Katt |
