Renewal of Vows

One of my few closest friends is celebrating her 10th year wedding anniversary next year and they have decided to renew their wedding vows to mark the special occasion. Not only am I invited, I am also participating in her renewal of vows as a brides maid. I am so excited!! She said her motif is burgundy and gold and we have been emailing back and forth with ideas. She has been looking at bridesmaid dresses by bill levkoff and I can say the selection is fantastic! It's not hard to find something that will complement me and my style.

Now the only thing left to do is to lose weight. And I need to start real soon!

Presents

Oh My God! June is around the corner so that means I need to start looking for birthday gifts for men. Hubs' birthday is on the 9th, and I don't know what to give him yet. Each year, I buy him a a subscription at Sirius XM because he likes listening to Sports broadcast on his way from work. But it has gotten so expensive that I'm actually thinking about not renewing his subscription. Last year, I took him to Las Vegas for a mini-vacation but I don't think I can do it this year due to some budget concerns. I don't want to be stingy, but I have to find something that he can use and he'll like but not necessarily break the bank. Any ideas???

Niagara

I'll be driving to Niagara this weekend with my mom. She's here on vacation and I'd like to spend some quality time with her. We've both been to Niagara, but we've never really spent time there. This time, we are staying for two days. I booked a hotel overlooking Niagara Falls and I'm very excited to see the falls light up at night time. The hotel is a 4-star with rustic wood furniture I find really charming. I booked a maid of the mist tour and we'll also be spending time in the casino. My two friends from Toronto are meeting us in Niagara as well. It's going to be a fun mini-reunion with my girls. Exciting!!!

The Switch

That's it! I'm switching to porcelain switch plates! The ones we currently have are made of metal/aluminum sheet and it's hard to keep it clean. I'm tired of wiping the finger prints off of it all the time. Yeah, you might think it's too petty, but a few minutes saved is worth a lot for me. I do enough cleaning and it gets really old too fast.

Speaking of busy, I can't believe the month of May is almost over. I will work two more days and then I'm off for 10 straight days. Ahhh Bliss! I'm so excited!!!
