Seven

Elizabeth tagged me to do a "reveal 7 random things" about me and my life. Yay, something to blog about, I've been having a hard time finding blogging inspiration lately. I'm not sure I have 7 things going on right now but let see....

1. My bathrooms look institutional. We went to Calgary this weekend and bought new energy efficient, daylight light bulbs and they're so bright it looks like you're in an interrogation room or a mental hospital. The bright light against the light green walls, definately looks institutional but we're saving the world one light bulb at a time.

2. I wish I could spend more time with my "calgary friends" A bunch of us all got together for dinner for Allison's birthday on Saturday night. I was so great to see them again.

3. We need a good cat repellant. Hobo insists on torturing the birds and we havn't been able to find a way to keep him off the window ledge for good. He sits on the ledge and stares into the bird cage. He's knocked the cage over a few times until we got smart and anchored the cage to the ledge with pins and paper clips. He's terrified plastic bags, long story but he had a bad experience with a plastic bag, so we've got plastic bags lined up on the ledge so if he jumps up there he'll freak out. Anyone have any other suggestions??

4. I'm not a florist but I think it will be ok. I found some vases for our centerpieces at the reception and we bought some flowers to do a trial run. I think they'll be ok. I want to be able to do them myself since it would cost a fortune to have a florist do them and we don't want anything fancy just a simple arrangemnt. I think they'll be ok so now I have to go back to Calgary and find 23 more of them.

5. I'd really like to start a herb garden on my patio but I have no idea how to do it or even where to start. I don't have much of a green thumb and all our indoor plants are clinging to life. Should I start them from seeds or transplant plants into a large planter. I think herbs are pretty hardy so they might be able to survive my gardening skills...maybe.

6. I'm getting married in 4 months and 1 day!!!!!! The past two months have just disappeared so quickly. I keep having dreams that the wedding is tomorrow and nothing has been done or the photographer doesn't show up or we invited too many people for the reception space or I forgot to book an appointment to have my hair done..... We've got everything under control and I think we're doing pretty well with planning and staying on budget. We're just ready for the day to come!

7. I'm playing housewife today. I have a long list of laundry, cleaning and organizing to do but I'm not complaining because I actually enjoy doing it. I'd better get started.......
