A blog of what is in my head at the time of writing... A chance for me to get things out of my head in a creative way other than talking to people, cause talking to people isn't the normal thing to do? ...Cause I'm Cool Like That...

Tormented by the man flu!
So my fiancee is sick has been since last Friday. And as many women understand the man flu (which is a male that happens to be sick) is the end of the world as we know it. They become sooky, whiney, bitchy, and absolutely impossible to deal with and really there's only so much I can take, especially when I have our 17 month old Princess running around too.
I LOVE my fiancee SO SO SO SO SO Much don't get me wrong it's just when he's sick I don't wanna know anymore I can take a few days but a week?! Come on Doc where are the miracle meds that will unburden me from this pain! Last week I could handle it, then Sunday came and he was at home when I asked him to look after her while I went to an expo for our wedding. Do I have to hunnie? I'd really like to just try and sleep this sickness off just leave her with my mum.
So last minute call to his mum and it's all sorted.
Then comes Tuesday, sick as a dog even I have the ability to look after the little one and run after her and watch sesame street with her etc... What do I get instead I'm doing some things for an event I'm running in May and organising things for our wedding ie finding video's I like so I could show them to the videographer we have a meeting with later that night, So I ask can you change her, get breakfast etc and nope, sleeping he's instead sure that's great since it's quiet with the exception of the screaming child next to me and that he didn't get to sleep through the entire night, but hey nappy at least? =(
So anyways I finally get princess ready for swimming lessons and we're rushed out of the door at 9.40am only to get to the pools at 9.45am the class starts at 10.30am... a whole 30 mins to spare... I suppose it was partially our daughter's fault since she was getting her shoes out of the cupboard and walking round the house saying shoes shoes shoes shoes but hey didn't I mention that it starts at 10.30 and needa leave at 10?
I love my man so much I would prefer to have him than a million dollars! Money can't buy me happiness, but today was the last straw... I've been burdened with the pain where Aunt Flo arrives to visit for the week needing to do a number two I go up and start my business only to be sent a text message (yes I take my phone in there... Who doesn't? and why? So the ringing doesn't wake my princess, so I know to shut it off should it ring same goes for the home phone most days) who is the doc we visited on Sunday afternoon? I DUNNO.... It's on the card... Yea I don't have that with me... I left it there... Yea I'm in the bathroom it will take me a few moments, he was the only doc there on Sunday afternoon surely they'd know who that is! He doesn't get in til 4.... Ok so make the appointment for then instead... Ok...
It goes on but I will leave it to imagination when I say I get a second txt saying this is the third time I've gotten up...
AGAIN I LOVE YOU HUNNIE! But it's just the flu! At least you're not in labor for 12 hours! And I say this sincerely I love you please just live with it

Brides in Frustration & Anger
As the title states Frustration and Anger not Love... I've just got a little bit of a rant for the BRIDES IN LOVE store at Wetherill Park NSW!
Not Happy should be the term... I'm not sure if I've blogged anything about my wedding or not but I'm getting Married May 2013... Engaged on 1/1/11 we went bridal dress shopping a friend of mine and myself and then with my mum and sister... We found a gorgeous dress and I fell in love with it so what did I do??? Yeap you guessed it I put a VERY small deposit on it cause I absolutely loved it!!! And the salesperson in the store was absolutely lovely...
Now I've gone back into this store Brides in Love Wetherill Park with my sister the past Friday to look at the Bridesmaid dresses they had there and to let her try it on next to my dress... Now as per the statement next to my dress doesn't mean the dress on me per se I would be happy with a mannequin anything!
Anyways walking into the store which is completely empty, we found ourselves looking at an empty shop literally until we heard someone shout out we'll be with you shortly.. Clearly they were eating their lunch... So my sister and I browsed the various bridesmaid gowns they had, I think we went through them all maybe twice! So they had to eat their lunch before they served us! Finally when someone did come over we were confronted with a girl who seemed like she really didn't want to be there... So we say "Hi" Cheerily and continue with "we were just hoping to look at a few bridesmaid dresses and hopefully allow my sister to try a few on next to the dress I have on order." -- her reply was "Oh, how many times have you tried your dress?" About three being my answer when she then says "Oh well you can't try your dress on again because you can only try it on twice as per our policy." I was appalled! Not only did they finish their lunch before serving us but apparently I couldn't try let alone see my dress! This was when the girl suggested she'll speak to her manager Angela. We ended up looking at the same dresses another two times and then at the flower girl dresses and a few of the tuxedo's they had on show and then at wedding gowns when I turned to my sister and said lets just go to the other place, Classic's Formalwear.
We made our way back to the front of the store to leave when we were stopped by the manager Angela. She interrupted mine and my sister's conversation and has said that I can only try my dress on three times so they can't let me try it on again since I've already tried the dress on three times and have used up my allowance to try it on! I went to speak as I pulled my receipt out and instead she snatches my receipt off me I said to her I was told that I could try the dress on whenever I'd like during the week and she interrupts me AGAIN! And states "Well not without an appointment I don't know who told you otherwise!" So I've gone to say don't worry that's fine we'll just look at bridesmaid dresses elsewhere when she turns to me and says January is our busiest month and we can't go putting dresses on everyone that walks into the store! THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE STORE! The whole time this was happening she was ordering her employee to bring up my customer details she'd constantly say to the poor girl just bring the customer details up already!
So anyway they're doing something on the computer and she says to me you still need an appointment and she constantly interrupted me again and again! I've stopped taken a deep breath and said can you please stop interrupting me? I work in retail and I get interrupted when I'm trying to explain things all the time. So what does she do? "I've worked in retail for 20 years." What the hell? I don't need to know how long you've worked in retail I'm just making a statement about my work AND who's to say the only retail store she's worked in is that bridal store?!
So I end up saying look forget it and she interrupts me again so I say Can you let me finish! (Angry now lol) So she finally lets me speak, and I say again forget it we'll look elsewhere, taking my receipt back and saying to my sister lets leave.
As we turn to leave she says "fine we'll do it for you this time but never again." So my response No forget it as we walked out of that store! Good Riddance!
Good for everyone to know that I am cancelling my dress with the so called "Brides In Love" And have a deposit on another much more gorgeous dress elsewhere! Would LOVE to put pics of my dress up but can't since I don't want my fiance to see them! LOL Which brings me to another point after putting a deposit on my dress do you think they let me photograph it?! Not only that but I have spoken to their head office which is the place we were going to Classics Formal Wear and hopefully I can get a store credit for the amount or something =)
Lesson learned.... DO NOT go back into the store that was rude to you years ago hoping they have changed, find that ONE of the salespeople are nice and the rest rude because it'll only come back to bite you! Horrible people!

Avoidance
Had such an amazing day today! I enjoyed every minute dropped my little princess off to preschool this morning and headed out to the city with one of my friends.. We had such a wonderful time Wagamama for lunch, where we stuffed ourselves with so much food it was hard to walk out of there... Went to the book shop Kinokuko or something like that LOL!!! Where we looked at sex books LOL and romance novels and solved my dilemma of trying to figure out which Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novel I needed next! Dead Lock which comes out in May by the way! Then headed to Capitols where we were going to do those cute picture booths only to find they were charging $15 rather than the previous $8! Won me a baby cookie monster out of the skill tester which I've given to my little girl, ate ice creams and got stuck on a train without aircon...
So all in all I had a good day hanging out with a good friend of mine =)
