Change is good

I start my new job on Monday (I hope). :D I have to call them and make sure, but I don't know what the hell I would do if that fell through.

Sunglasses at night

I've been wearing my fucking prescription sunglasses for the last 10 days, with sporadic periods of contact lens wear (but I can't wear them to work because for some reason, they decided they want to stick to my eyeballs if I put them in too early in the morning). I wanted to take advantage of my insurance while I have it, and get some new glasses. See, with the vision care plan that I have there are certain pairs of glasses that you are allowed to get for free and some at a very slight discount. I hated every single pair of free glasses they had there, HATED THEM, and I really liked this $375 pair of Ralph Lauren glasses, which my insurance would pay $50 towards (whopee.) So, I made the excecutive decision to send my current frames to the lab so that they could put the new lenses in (my prescription got worse). I had to wait 10 days, and then they called me this morning. I was so excited, I got out of work for an hour, and went down there to pick them up. I had transitions/scratch/uv on my lenses, and as the guy was fitting them to my face, he noticed that they weren't as dark as they should have been (transitions lenses are the ones that change to sunglasses when you are outside) and so he held them to the light to see if they'd change color and they didn't. I WAS PISSED OFF! It's not like those upgrades were free, I had to pay $95 for those upgrades and they couldn't get it right. Of course, it's the day before Thanksgiving so they don't want to send them back to the lab today because then I'd have to wait until 5-7 days after that in order to get my fucking glasses again. I hate insurance companies. Hate.

On the good side, I can now see the names on the street signs from very far away. :)

Wedding things

So, I went to look at the room that they are going to have our reception in and it was beautiful. Tara, you have to email me. We need to work out the details for your dress, seeing as there is no David's Bridal in Canada. Shop around online and see what you can find. Either dark blue or silver will be fine. I ordered some samples for my favors, which I'm going to be making as well. I'll just be a freakin craft queen this year.

Also, my mother arranged a special room rate for those of you coming from out of town (at The Orleans, of course).


June 1 & 2 $35.00 per night
June 3 & 4 $85.00 per night
June 5 $50.00 per night
If they check in before Jun1 $35.00 rate will apply for extra nights
If they stay after June 5 I think it will be the $50.00 rate


Call 1-800-675-3267 and mention the "Feica/Hardy" wedding block. She has 20 rooms reserved, but more can be added at a later date.

I hope to be getting out "Save the date" cards. I will be making those at the same time as my Christmas cards, and possible sending them out with them. Is that tacky? Oh well, saves postage.

Christmas Party

We're having a Christmas party, only this isn't your ordinary Christmas party, this is the "ugly Christmas shirt/vest" party. Everyone who comes is required to wear some really cheesy christmas item. Then we'll all play twister (or Uno) or not. Who knows. :D This party is on December 17th at around 8pm-ish.
