We might be moving to Texas next February.
Max got offered this great promotion at work (basically he'd become one of the bosses) but in order to take it he has to go to Houston for training for 6 months to a year.
at the end of it they will either send him back to edmonton, or if they like him will keep him there.
it would mean a lot more money for us (and he would get another raise when he starts training) and they would help us find a house down there. The baby will be born by then and well houses are pretty fucking cheap compared to alberta.
speaking of alberta it's snowing again. been snowing since yesterday morning here in edmonton. I'm very tempted to start blasting christmas music and put the tree back up.
I still haven't found a dress for the wedding. I'm imagining that i'll just be standing up there in jeans and nicer top (hopefully not a t shirt) but we'll see.

So apparently (according to an ex-aunt and uncle and cousin) i'm not allowed to blog about anything. This includes everything from my opinions on celebrities to politics to my wedding and what life is like on a daily basis. I'm not allowed to use my imagination in writing anything, no getting lost in thoughts.
Why?
Because if you do that then it's a sign that you need to be evaluated by a court ordered psychiatrist.
Seriously. when that one cousin of mine found my myspace and bitched me out over it resulting in me cancelling the whole thing, they apparently printed off the blogs so that they could show my mother in some attempt to prove what a terrible person i am.
But how did all this come about? They claim that they found it when searching for my wedding website. That's a total load. I didn't send them anything stating i had a wedding site until after the myspace incident had occured. And i searched my name on myspace and google. there were 7 pages of people in canada with my name on myspace. and google, well i stopped after looking through 5 pages and found nothing about me. So the bastards really did just search me out.
They also apparently added in shit. Like they just copied and pasted the blogs into word and added some shit to it. They claim i said things that i never did, really horrible things.
And the thing that kills me... there were 3 blogs on there. only ONE mentions them at all. one was about my wedding and one was about how i deleted the other blogs and was starting fresh with the new year. yet they still printed those two because they think it achieves something.
grrr.
sorry i just had to get that all out. It seems that i can't let go of things until i type.

we took myth to the vet this morning... she hurt her hips some how. they don't feel right apparently. anyway, after a lot of x rays and almost crying they said she's fine, but not allowed to jump off of anything for the next week. She's also on anti-inflammatories and she has to lose some weight. She's now 13 pounds.
but it was funny when we took her in. The doc walks into the room and says "I hope this isn't myth." Even the assistant remembered her. Apparently she scared them all shitless the last time she was there (which was when she got fixed in july).

So i went to edson and told my parents yesterday...
apparently dad already knew. and when i pulled out the book for mom that made it all the more apparent.
mom was crying by the second page in the book. it was adorable. then she cried more when she found out, and more after that.
Dad is jealous, but happy and excited. Mom's happy. so overall things are good. And i'll get to see mom more now.
Myth on the other hand... is not happy about something and it's actually scaring me. we were home for about an hour when she started. Max tried to walk past her and she flipped worse then i've ever seen. She was screaming and hissing and biting. We figured she was freaked by the smell of my parent's pets on our clothes so we washed them and showered to remove it. we were allowed to pass her then. but when we went to go to bed she was already there and as soon as max got in she started again with the screaming. I know that she's mad that we were gone for more then 4 hours but come on. If it keeps up today i'll have to take her to the hospital... then she'll hate me even more. fun.

I'm 22 today.
and all i want is for no morning sickness for tomorrow.
right now i'm feeling sick and it'd be nice if that went away so i wouldn't have to deal with it for the rest of the day. I mean i'm not going to be going anywhere or doing anything but it's just not a nice feeling to hold on to.
but tomorrow i'm heading to edson to tell my parents that they're gonna be grandparents in november
and i don't imagine morning sickness while driving down the highway would be fun.

So i got my wedding dress today...
I'm not happy. it looks like an incredibly cheap knock-off compared to the picture of what i bought. Turns out the company stole the pic, put their stamp on it and only make their version of it. It of course doesn't say this anywhere in the item description. Basically i have to either find another dress or wear my halloween costume, and there isn't really time for the first.
and one of the bridesmaids dresses has a big brown stain on the front of the white dress! (looks like someone spilt coffee or gravy on it, let it sit for 2 or 3 days and then tried to rub it off). And it's to late to do anything about it.
Aside from that morning sickness is completely kicking my ass. i'm 8 weeks now, and only getting 3 hours of sleep isn't helping. I know, i know once the kid comes out i'll be getting no sleep. but that's why i wanted to enjoy my last months of sleep, and i've been sick enough that it's becoming kind of impossible.

I had my first round of morning sickness this morning.. I was expecting worse. I may have to start taking my vitamin at night though. I'm 8 weeks on tuesday.
and we got our taxes done. cost $8 after using my refund for both of us. And max is getting $3300 back in about 2 weeks. I'm very happy bout that, no more worrying about money.
I'm telling my parents about the kid on saturday. We're making a trip out to edson just to tell them. I'm not expecting good things but ohh well.
My birthday is on friday... i'll be 22. like most of my birthday's it's no big deal. we're getting an ice cream cake from marble slab creamery (if we can remember to go in and order it in time) and i'm getting a penny arcade hoodie as a present as long as it comes in in time. This is the back of it!

two days in a row i've melting something in my oven
yesterday it was a styrofoam container (containing defrosting porkchops and covered in seran wrap)
today it was a plastic bowl filled with hamburger.
I've put them in the over to sit because my fridge will freeze them and the microwave needs to be cleaned.
And then i forget about them and later start making dinner, which both times has ended with me smelling something melting and freaking out when i discover what it is.
pregnancy really is fucking with my head. I feel like i've lost my mind.
