4:20 pm - I'm married...deal with it.
|
From left to right...Katy and Dave, Ramsey and Chili, Karen and Brad, Desiree and Josh...and Evelyn in blue...she wanted blue...she got blue!
From left to right. B, Chili, Brad, Dave and Josh
Trying to escape the bird deed being hurdled at us...the hearse blocked NOTHING!
My dad, B, me and my Mom. They've been divorced for years, but are still somewhat friends...
Hmmmm..dunno
our dinner was Pizza wings and hoagies...I couldn't eat any of it from nerves...but it musta been gooood. Go Chris!
This is where we spent most the night...but by 8 I was wishing my dress wasn't so damn long.
left on the 15th for Punta cana....I'll post pics of the hotel and whatnot..
The wedding was a complete blast. The whole thing, honeymoon included cost 3500! Thanks to all who came. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with everyone...but ah well.
The biggest compliment was our soundtrack...we had everything from oldies to hip hop to techno and goth/industrial. The best wedding I have ever been to as well as many of our guests.
!
A super special thanks to Joe! He played the piano beautifully, and it was wonderful having him and Dr David there!
Thank you from the bottom of my booty.

2:57 pm - B's polishing the hearse
|
...
I fell so blah as of late. I realized that I'm a shadow of my former self and can't find what I'm supposed to blame for it. I don't feel like I'm good enough to find another job. I don't feel pretty enough for B, and I don't feel like I'm expressing who I am anymore.
It may just be pre-wedding jitters or something. I'm also very stressed out that the guy I ordered my wedding dress from refuses to email me back. But you know what. I don't usually get nice things...or what I want for that matter, so maybe I should just relax.
but everything else is in place.
I don;t care about anything any more. Though I do want to do a fund raiser for animal friends...
so I'm thinking of organizing a string of "hot chick car washes" for next summer. I'll try to track down hot lads and ladies that would want to wash cars for free and donate the money...
I'm also going to do animal food drives this winter.
maybe this will help me feel better... but as it stands i gotta fight the feeling so i don't have to take pills again. I hate me some depressed pills.
hope things will look up.
and if I didn't send you an invite to the wedding....and you want to go...lemme know asap!
~me
off to meet Karen's parents...in from Scotland.
I'll be the only one who can understand them!
current mood:  depressed

5:56 pm - Planning thus far...
|
So far so good on the wedding plans.
BTW, I don't know who in internet land wants to come to my shindig, so if you comment with a reply I'll add you to a master list.
Keep in mind. I'm not inviting everyone cause I'm paying for this damn thing and I am cheap.
I finalized the Invitations and reply cards yesterday. They're very art deco.(which is funny cause the wedding has NO theme whatsoever)
I'm going with B's mom on wed to price some stuff at Costco. I think after this fiasco I may go into the wedding planning business. I've done it so cheap!
My dress pattern is on the way, so my dress should be ready sooner rather than later..
and it's an original design by moi...touche!
I'm going home to visit soon and am NOT looking forward to the 8 hour drive.
more to come when I damn well feel like it.
OH! and tomorrow I find out if I'm getting fired!
a stupid mistake on my part. I was supposed to go today, but my manager "let it slide" with the standard of "if I fuck up one more time then I'm toast"
I'll know tomorrow if I'm toast.
But sometimes you need a kick in the pants to get out of one job you dislike and into another.
I really don't want to work at mcd"s
and I'll prolly have to for a while if this happens.
thank god for my 401k
I can cash that to live off of for a few months.

11:45 pm - Bueno!

So...since I haven't been keeping in touch with y'all heres a fantabulous update.
Today we got our passport pics taken, and went to the travel agent about a honeymoon package. We're staying at the Iberostar Dominicana in Punta Cana for a glorious four night stay. If anyone can suggest a drug that I can get from my doctor to somewhat knock me out on the plane trip..please let me know, as I become very sick and stressed out anymore. I have to scan my wedding dress design and send it to my cousin in NYC that is going to have a pattern made so I can finally have something I designed that will fit my budget. I must have looked at no less that a thousand dresses and finally came up with a conglomerate of my favorite three. I have a job interview on Thu, so wish me luck.
Since I'm on vacation this week, I am travelling to the great state of Ohiah to see Crystal for the day. This is a mini roadtrip and will undoubtedly give me a grand case of road rage by eves end.
PASSPORT BITCH FOLLOWS
Why is it that if you were born in the US, all you have to provide is a birth certificate? Where as when you are born in Canada (moi) you have to give them, your birth certificate, your moms birth certificate, your dads birth certificatem and a copy of their marriage license? I've lived in the US all my life, and have worked here since the dawn of time? Pain in the ass! If I had applied for my Canadian, I would have had to reapply for CA citizenship (which takes months) and then apply for my passport. Which is also Suck. SO, hopefully I'll have the damn thing by this summer so I can go visit Josh in England. We shall see.
Ahhhhhh
At least I got one thing done. Wedding wise I mean.
and I picked out my wedding band. It's sterling silver and Marcasite and costed only 20 dolla!
I is Cheap yo!
B's on the other hand is titanium, and cost 100 bucks. He'll get it when I damn well feel like it.
more when I get the time.

2:53 am - So So much.
|
Hello all. My computer's been down for a while with a nasty flu. I'm trying to read posts from all y'all, but something tells me I'll never make it.
Mom's been in town since last tuesday, and while it's been swell...the swelling's gone down.
B and I are still planning for the wedding. It's about a year away now.(we celebrated our dating anniversary saturday) October 13th 2007 is the definite date. I was shooting for march or so, but with planning I've figured fall would be better.
I found my Red wedding dress I've been searching for. It's 200 bux and the shit.
Hall is booked, no church or chapel yet.
Hearse is running fine.
Helmut is.....a cat.
Oh, and I'm now down 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. I'm a 8/9 again!
Only about 20 more to go.
and 6 more inches of hair(I refuse to get it cut until next year)
I'm having issues planning the wedding party. I think some edits will have to be made.
More when I get a second to think again.
oh and work sucks. Anyone need a receptionist?

4:30 pm - back...
|
well vacation in Kingsport Tn was awesome to say the least. I was there for the procar meet. There were plenty of cars I haven't seen before, and some others I got to take another look at. Other than the heat, we had fun by going to the location where Evil Dead was shot, touring bristol caverns, and swimming in a lake as warm as bath water.
Now I'm hunting for a new job, which is a slow ass journey. I have an "in" at a position as soon as they call me for an interview. We'll see how that goes.
Meanwhile, my friend Dave's dad passed away on sunday, so we're going to the wake tonight. I always take this time to really look at how well the makeup job works with the body (i know...sick) and thinking if they'd just use X item, the skin would be more smooth, and less cakey. Needless to say, if I could work on bodies by myself, that would be an awesome job, and I think i'd be really good at it. But I'm always afraid that the dead will come to life, so I'll put that career on hold for a while.
I have to go back to school next year. I keep putting it off because I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm thinking of going for some kind of teaching degree, with a minor in art (cause i need some fun classes dammit) and possibly a major in chemistry. because Physics would be too damn hard!
well maybe I'll post some pics from vacay later on.

5:10 pm - Funny dream
|
|
Last night I dreamt that Taylor Hicks and B were fighting over me, all the while I kept thinking..."damn this is great! Taylor Hicks wants me!" all the while my teeth were crumbling to pieces and falling out. There were huge gaps in my mouth when I looked in the mirror.
Ha!
I love my Taylor dreams, I always wake up in a good mood. B asked me who won the contest between him and Taylor. I honestly woke up before i found out.
More X FIles season 2 to watch, and time to chill. I've been gorging myself on the homemade jam i recently made. Peach and Strawberry. I'm going to give a couple to the neighbors as a "hey, don't hate us cause we have a hearse"present. That still leaves me 5 jars to my name!
I AM THE JAM MONTSTER.
and the cheese stands alone
In more good news our friend Chris from NY is coming to stay with us for a few weeks while he has some downtime on his north american tour.
I love having almost famous people under my roof. At least he gets the whole top floor to himself, as well as his own private bathroom, and queen size bed.
But Helmut will eventually try to take over....That's HIS floor after all!

We're in the new house. I still feel like I'm watching someone elses house, but now that we have a phone and internet...I feel much more at ease. The wedding Date has been set again finally. After much consideration, October 13th, 2007. I have the reception hall booked, and am starting to look at Dj's and Caterers. Still no though on a church, or Chapel. It looks like this is going to cost about 2000 to 2500 bux. SO yes the cheapest wedding in history is on.
more to come

I'm just sittin here, smoking and drinking Peach tea. B and I move into the new house next weekend. After The day we spent Friday busting our asses to get the eaves, and all the windows scraped and painted... I had to ask a day off work, and we still didn't get home until almost nine at night. then today is was off to the currency and coin show in Monroeville. Then a stop off at Josh and Athena's where we watched wondershowzen, and played skip-bo. B's not feeling too hot, so I bought him some Oj, and let him go to bed.
I've finally settled on a name for the new house..."the House of cards" It reminds me of playing cards because it's black white and red. I've decided on doing the dining room in a robins egg blue and dark brown. Cream will be the light color. Finally I got something done.
Now the news then sleep...

3:10 pm - Oh yeah.. it's been a while.
|
So I called off sick from work to day. Mind you I feel as if I raped a toddler, that's how shitty my conscience is. I woke up this morning with my eyes swelled shut, I didn't even recognize myself. I went back to sleep (it was three in the morning) When I woke up I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and studied the puffiness. After several moments I decided there was Noooo way makeup was going to cover this up. So feeling guilty as hell, I called off work. Man, I could have the ebola virus, and survived a zombie attack, and I'd still feel bad about calling off. They're still puffy after hours of cold compress, and still itchy. Maybe Helmut slept on me last night, and I got furs in my eyes?
No, it's just allergies.
Today I pick up my car. I had to get it inspected and it ended up costing me a shitload more that anticipated, so I had to use all my birthday money on a car. SO, sorry guys, no party for me. Though it is my 25th! and Saturday, Brian still insists he take me to cracker barrel, even though I told him if he bought my rotors we could call it even. He's so cute.
SO needless to say I'm feeling real sorry about my b-day. It's the third year in a row that I haven't been able to celebrate. I guess I just stopped aging at 22.
Is it shitty to think that all i wanted was a pretty new dress(for under 15 bucks), a small gathering for dinner at my favorite place?
Ah well. Guess what the Mortgage was approved. This weekend we have to do the painting..yay! spending my birthday painting. I was supposed to get my Drivers License renewed, but I'll just have to let it lapse, like all the fucking people who come into the bank do. And there's a possability of promotion. I could be pulling in 30,000 a year soon. But I'm not holding my breath.
I'm trying to find a wedding dress. Since all plans are on hold until we get settled in the new house. I absolutely refuse to buy a dress to wear once. I want a red dress with a mermaid cut, and a halter top. More on that when i get to it.
Well I'm off to spend my Birhtday money and my savings on my truck..($325) At least I get points on my National City card...water cooler here i come.

|

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm trying to keep up on everyones posts, and am happy that I find most of you in good spirits. Wdding planning sucks my ass right now. B and i decided to change the date to a time when it's cheaper for the honeymoon, and a little more "car friendly" seeing as we plan to have a few procars out and maybe a few classics as well. But until we meet with a travel agent I have no idea when it's the cheapest, so no new date as of yet. This has me so stressed. I mean the house is great, but we have alot of work to do before the closing, and before we move in. I think I'll tack on some pics of the house for you. no resizing...you'll just have to deal.
the living room/ dining room and hall
The sweetest game room and wet bar in history
Awesome two deck porch. With no neighbors....the possibilities are endless.
more stress now, and I'll see you all lata.

9:44 pm - Stressed.....is not the word for it.
|
Yaaargghh!
Having the new guy at work is driving me crazy. It's not his fault, it's just that I have too much change going on right now it's hard for me to focus. I don't have time to worry about him. Bleh.
B and I finally bought a house. We're really proud. The home inspection is this week, so B's going to take some pics while he's there, and I'll post them.
We got it at $110,000.00 so the payments are doable.
It has hardwood floors, two and a half bathrooms, four bedrooms, a full wet bar with beer tap, and built in wall safe, and two level deck. So partay at the Stahl's! (That term kinda bothers me. I guess it'll take a little to get used to.)
well, i need sleep to prepare for the week.

3:31 pm - It's raining in Pittsburgh? NO.....
|
I just spent a good two hours of my half day picking out a pair of glasses, just to find out the whole shebang would be way out of my budget. (saving for a house, glasses, well, I can't live in glasses)
Here's the rant. I'm so fucking stressed out. I have yet to find a place to hold the wedding or the reception. Not to mention lookin for a house at the same time. b had the audacity to ask if we could move the wedding to this fall. yeah, Buying a house, moving, painting, and getting married is just a little too much for me. I told him I would go Crazy...short trip. Speaking of Crazy I'm really pissed at Crystal right now. She's been AWOL for a week. She borrowed money from a friend, and skipped out on work. This all translates to being INCREDIBLY FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE. Which then translates to Crystal is not in my wedding party. How the fuck can I rely on her to be my maid of honor, and help me with wedding stuff if she can't even go to work, or pick up the phone to tell people where she is. SO yeah, a new Maid of Honor will be appointed shortly. I don't have time for this Mickey mouse Bullshit. I am sick of people placing blame on others. Everyone always has a fucking excuse. Own up to it people. God forbid you EVER become a productive member of society, and have any kind of responsibilities.(I'm stressed, OK?)It's always...my life sucks. Let me mooch off others. Let me enjoy this wonderful life put before me with my brand new car I don't pay for, and my life of being debt free. Work? I can get disability. Fuck you. IF YOU CAN DRIVE, YOU CAN WORK. IF YOU CAN GO OUT AND PARTY, YOU CAN WORK. AND IF YOU THINK YOUR FUCKING SPECIAL....GET BENT. EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS, AND IT'S THE IDIOTS THAT CAN'T GET A HOLD ON THEM. I'm sorry this post has been very narrow, but i'm gearing up to have a BIG discussion with a certain someone about these things. If she ever comes home. At this point I just want an answer, I'm done staying awake at night, and being preoccupied at work thinking about this waste of life.
on a nicer note, I have vacation at the end of the month, and tonight I'm making B Shrimp alfredo pasta with a italian garlic bread.
Lucky.

5:30 pm - Saturday....in the park...
|
well, no park. it's too damn muddy.
Hanging out with Josh and Des tonight, finally I get to let loose a little. I just got back from getting my hair hacked off. It's still long in the front, but it's a little bobbed, with shorter layers in the back. TRanslation: I can spike it a little or make it look longer. A soon as I get me some new batteries, I'll post a pic.
No more wedding news as of yet, except that I may have to change the date due to the fact my dad has the Buoy run, and I really don't want him to miss out on all the overtime. For those of you who don't know what the Buoy run is...it's when they take the buoys out of the river, or put them in. My dad is a tugboat operator for the St. Lawrence Seaway. SO that means they maintenance all the buoys from lake Ontario up towards almost Montreal along the St. Lawrence river. It takes about two weeks of grueling labor, but the money he makes would practically pay for the wedding. SO I'd feel really bad about making him miss out on it. He said it's my wedding and he'll put in for the time off.
I'm not a horrible daughter. So I have to find a new date.
House hunting sucks my ass. We can't find anything that we both like that's in our price range. My god. The price we are going to pay (125,000) seems astronomical compared to house prices back home. But of course it Pittsburgh, that's the norm.
bleh.
I'm a gonna go now.

9:34 pm - Idol's done and so am I.
|
Bleh, I'm really tired all of a sudden. B just worked a miracle and got one of his PS2 games to work when we've been using it for a coaster for almost a year. Miracles do happen Jimmy! I'm totally stressed...AghAGhgAgh!
SO far the house hunt has been less than thrilling. There's not really much out there, and B doesn't want an old house...(we KNOW how I feel) and I don't want one of those fucking half brick half siding doohickeys. They look like Rez houses. Yeah, nothing like escaping the lower class slums of the reservation just to go right back. But at least we have a few months to worry. I have a few ideas, but....
We're looking in the
$100,000.00 range
so if you see something out north with a mammoth car-hold let me know.
Wedding planning is going along well. Albeit kinda slow. I get to stretch this out over a little more than a year, I think we settled on March 31st. I really wanted an October wedding, but I can't be too choosey. Plus it'll be a little cheaper.
I don't know if I've lost any more weight. I'm scared to get on the scale. Don't ask, but my irrational fears have been coming out lately. I think I'm going to start painting. I don't have a creative outlet and it's killing me. I think I'll make a trip to walmart when I get paid, and get some paint. Then I'll mosey to get some brushes and canvas. Start small.. I mean I don't know if I can draw anymore. I'm just going on and on and on...I'm sorry.
The job still sucks, but at least the big boss is out of the office. There's a little less stress now. I keep looking into another position with the company, but I'm scared of leaving. I'm also scared of change because so much of it is going on right now. And I haven't been paying B enough attention. That's my fault alone.
Dad's supposed to come visit in a few months. I really miss him. I'm getting choked up just thinking about it. Losing...punk rock points....
I need a vacation, but I'm thinking about saving it for when we move. Then I can take the week to pack and move and paint and decorate.
I also wish I had rich parents to help me pay for some of these things. Even a cheapo wedding out of pocket is really steep for my budget. Especially with a house payment and escrow and school taxes, and repairs.
Okay no more talk of this, i'm getting upset.
I'm really looking forward to Tennessee for the Car Meet in August. It'll be a nice drive AND a vacation!
I filed my tax return already. With the moolah I get back I'm getting my brakes fixed, buying some work clothes, and putting the rest in the house/wedding fund. No this isn't the wild and crazy Cassie that spends all her money. I'm the new and improved model that pays all my bills on time, and puts away for important things.
Today is the anniversary of my Nana dying. I wish she could see how good I turned out.

10:23 pm - Jeebus God! Finally...

The one on the left is the Dress I finally picked for my bridesmaids. I love this style so much, and would almost want this as my dress, but we can't all look the same!
Ignore the one on the right all together.
So it's settled...and it's up to my viewers to cast in their votes. Not like I would change my mind, but opinions matter in this stage.
YAY! I accomplished something!

Waiting for B to get home from work...
coloring my hair.
I lost 10 pounds!
That's my update.
Oh....and catering is fucking expensive. Anyone who's planned a wedding, some advice would be nice.

6:50 pm - Here it is....

I won't be officially getting the ring until this thursday. I'm so friggin excited. Here it is for your viewing pleasure, and mine as well...
This ring is circa 1940. It's comprised of Platinum and a .34 carat center diamond, flanked with 4 smaller diamonds on the side.
I love the details at the corners. They really don't make them like they used to. Good news on the diet front, I'm down five pounds. If I stay at this rate I may look decent by the time we go to florida this spring.
Well I'm off to do some more planning. It looks like the wedding will be some time next spring. I was hoping for a fall wedding, but since we'll be buying the house this summer, then it'll have to wait. Ah well.
