Warm Machine

October 29, 2010

This year, Nathan dressed up as War Machine from Iron Man.


Apparently there was a little bit of misunderstanding as to what the actual name of the character was because last night when Andrew was putting Nathan to bed, Andrew asked him, "Are you excited to be War Machine tomorrow?" to which Nathan replied, "Yeah, I'm going to be the warmest machine ever!"

New Glasses

October 3, 2009

(Whoa, this post is waaaay overdue, but here's an update for those of you who haven't seen us recently!)


After wearing the same frames for a decade (or more), my dear husband finally got new frames (you're welcome, husband).

This is what I've had to get used to seeing:



Haha, just kidding. It was more like this:



And this is the new and improved look:



What do you think? Not bad, eh? The guy who's been helping me pick frames (other than my dad, who has good taste, I must say) ever since I first started wearing glasses way back in elementary school picked these ones out for him.

And while we were picking out frames, one of the girls working there kept Nathan busy, drawing pictures with him and letting him play with stuff. Talk about good service. It was like free baby sitting!

Then, when he was all done drawing, Nathan decided he wanted to try some frames as well...


Pretty cute, huh? Let's hope he never has to wear them for real.

Ordering Online

February 24, 2008

My experience with ordering things online in the past has been somewhat limited. I've only ever ordered books online from sites I know can be trusted, like Chapters and Amazon. A few times I was tempted to purchase items from other places but I eventually chickened out.

However, with the wedding getting closer and closer I was forced to turn to the cyberworld for help in hunting down my wedding dress. Most sources advise brides to order their gowns before the 6-month point. I, being the super-elite procrastinator I am, did not even start looking for my dress until that point. So, pressed for time, I found that my quickest (and most cost-effective) option was to purchase a few wedding items online, including (gasp) my dress.

I was pretty hesitant at first. What if they gave me the wrong product? What if I didn't get them in time? Luckily, I received the first item (the favour boxes) safe and sound in Florida and they were fine. And as for my dress? Well, I just hope when it gets here, it still looks like.. (Andrew, no looking)
