I can't keep secrets!

Yesterday Gerard and I headed down to the big smoke “BrisVegas” to sort out his wedding attire. We had a great day together. We bought him a gorgeous suit and he looked veery nice indeed : ) So the bride and groom have gone from an original plan of dressing very casual to the complete opposite. Thank goodness we had time to plan this wedding as so many things have changed. That happened when we built our house as well, our colour schemes and designs were completely different to our original ideas.

I ended up confessing to the budget blow out and the purchase of the new dress. He didn’t even raise an eyebrow. He is happy for me to have anything I want for our wedding. I was so relieved! I know he’ll love the dress too : )))

We are considering extending the time at our second venue for an additional hour. After our breakfast at Sails (which is the most gorgeous venue) see www.sailsrestaurantnoosa.com we are taking our guests for a trip on the Noosa River Ferry up the Noosa River. We were originally going for 2 hours but are wondering whether we should do 3. We will be doing the cake and speeches……decisions.

I can’t believe the drama some family members are making about “our” wedding. We copped some comments regarding us not inviting kids. Gerards response was “Well you’ve got plenty of time to plan for the kids to be looked after if you decide you are coming”. I was so annoyed, I need to learn to take a deep breath and let it slide…..perhaps I should speak to my sister – she was so damn relaxed for her wedding it was awesome.

We spent lots of time in GNC yesterday. I joined their club and we bought some thermos and L-Glutamine. We also went half in a yummy protein bar, I forget what it’s called but it’s the one that tastes like snickers. I don’t eat them very often as they upset my tummy, but ½ of one was just enough for no side effects. I don’t miss working in the city. It is a world away from the Sunshine Coast.

After our day in the big smoke we went out to dinner and the movies with Gerards Mum. She flies home to Victoria today. I had fish and veges and whilst Gerard and Mum ate double choc tops I sipped my water. We saw Jindabyne. My review – It’s Crap, don’t waste your money seeing it at the theatre.

I arranged for a friend who does house cleaning to come and do a few jobs around the house yesterday. Up until now Gerard has thought the idea of having a housecleaner is just ridiculous. She did such a fantastic job! I was stoked. Gerard commented this morning maybe we should get her in more regularly : ) Oh yeah, I am making progress! Of course she only did my allocated tasks – all his were up to date. But I think he is convinced now I’m a crap cleaner and if he wants it done properly he has to do it himself or pay someone : ))

I went for a run yesterday morning, I found it very difficult as I have not yet fully recovered, but soldiered on. I had to walk after every hill for recovery! This morning I took it a little easier and power walked my neglected puppy.
