my big adventure

yesterday i ventured out all alone to michigan for the day. I had high hopes of coming back with shopping bags. sadly that didnt happen! I started out at 915am, and went to my first location.
I went to so many different cities. Auburn hills, troy, farmington hills, novi, and detroit. I was looking for wedding shoes, found none! Every shoe has a 6 inch heel! are they crazy!
I ended up buying a hair clip to wear to the shower, a bra, and two books. thats all! I didnt even have to hide anything at the border!
I was so tired when I was driving home, I couldnt wait to get there. Well as I turned the corner to get onto the bridge separating windsor and detroit, I was backed up the whole length of the bridge! I had to wait one hour in line for the border, the whole time on the bridge that shakes every time a truck goes by! This is literally two minutes from my apartment, so annoying.
not a fun day!
today I went for lunch with my friend from here, we went to coras, not chez coras, in ontario they call it coras. and shocking, there was a wait! crazy for windsor! there is never a wait or traffic anywhere!
I made jon and I an excellent supper, chilean seabass fish, it was so good! its exepensive, but we dont have it often.
no work tomorrow, yay!
shower in 2 weeks!

hi all
back in windsor, and before i know it, im back in montreal in 2 weeks! the shower invites are out, and its very soon!! im really excited. i hope that its everything i want it to be. If anyone has any good ideas for anything, let me know!
when I was home last week it was very nice, except for all the passover food that doesnt agree with me.
here is a picture of the shower invitation, its much nicer in person!!oh and i also tried on my wedding dress!!!!! i was so nervous, but i love it! it fits very well, just needs to be shortened, a lot!

hi aLL

today is my fourth day in a row with no work, love it! Im still getting a 5 day work week in as im going to work tomorrow through sunday,. and then monday, im off to montreal for 8 days! yay! unfortunately i have to take the train this time. yuck. and i have to take the long one, which will get me in ontime for passover dinner. Im right now in the middle of making my bridal shower invitations. they are really nice! Im going to probably cut everything, and then assemble them with my mom and sister.
Ive been enjoying my new moon dvd! and im reading the twilight books again, so good!
thats all the news for now! 5 months til the wedding!

hi!!
tomorrow my friend taryn from florida is coming! yay! I will pick her up in michigan after work tomorrow. I was home a few weeks ago, it was very nice. I actually had time to relax, and finally clean my room! It was also my dad and grandpas birthdays. My grandfather turned 94, and he was having a very good day.
Somehow I arranged my work schedule, and I will have 9 days off at the end of march and beginning april, so im going home for Passover! very excited, its around the corner.
Tomorrow at work we are going to the casino for an outing, I hope I will be lucky again!

valentines day

I have been very sick!! for three days, its been awful. I had the stomach flu, today was my third day off work. very unfortunate because I was finally getting more hours because someone is on vacation.
Oh well! I go to work tomorrow, then im going home until Wednesday morning! Jon has taken very good care of me! And today he came home with the Olympic red mittens! we each got a pair.
For valentines day jon got me 2 dozen hot pink roses, they are very nice! and we went out to eat to a fancy restaurant in detroit.
thats all for now!

sunday

feels like monday, and yesterday felt like sunday. because i worked today. So boring working on sunday because theres only one Life Enrichment worker. I did a lot of talking to myself! Residents were wacky today, there must have been something in the air. Some were thinking their parents were coming to visit (they are in their 90's), and another told me some crazy story about her daughter drugging her and stealing her jewelery. I know its not true, but its amazing how they really think these things have happened.

So life in windsor continues to amaze me. We still have not had snow!!! Well thats a lie, I did have to clean off the car twice this winter, there was 1cm of light snow on it. and thats it!! crazy.
I have still not encountered traffic in a year and a half here. Something that im taking for granted. People I work with think going to the other side of town is a hassle. Im talking about 20 minutes MAX. Do they not know I used to drive 45-60 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic? Or that people in montreal have to schedule their days around traffic time? How many times did I use to tell people to come to dollars for dinner, after 6 to avoid traffic! How many times was I late to Jons or my grandparents because there was traffic at 130pm! The other great thing about windsor is the basic cable. I have two channels that I never had at home. Slice, and Food. These are both channels that ALWAYS have something on. Its amazing. I dont think I could ever be without them now.
goodnight!
