Keep Calm & Carry On


I can't even explain how much i love this (thanks for the idea Leah), it seriously sums up how I handle myself in times of stress (and limits the spaziness that is me)

Days like yesterday when...

1. I drove to work in a massive wind storm that tore traffic lights from there posts, broke transformers and knocked over fences and cement signs, it was nuts and a little scary!  BF doesn't help matters when he gets excited for these storms, he truly feels he missed his calling in life to be a storm chaser
Not very scary looking photo, looks a little pathetic, lol, was definitely a lot scarier then it looks, promise!

2. Found out I owe about $900 in taxes as my rrsp contribution was 3 days late (thanks HR department for taking 3 weeks to move $ to my brokerage account) - heartrate is increasing just thinking about this, grrrrrr

3. Our new benefits account at work turns out to be an amazing idea yet ridiculous in execution and I end up missing $400 from my paycheque, seriously?  Deep breath Donna

BUT i did KEEP CALM and then

I get an e-mail like this from my good friend Diane
I miss you too Diane!
And then I come home to a big one of these (that would be a hug, lol BF is quite the normal size!)

I was also lucky enough to watch the rehearsal for our friends Ryan & Amys wedding this Saturday

AND then i CARRIED ON

And got up at 5am for the Royal Wedding - SQUEAL!!!!!

And ate a new favourite breakfast

Breakfast made up of 
12 Grain Toast
Peanut Butter
Raisins
Organic Jam
Banana Slices
Sunflower Seeds
Chia Seeds
Excitement for wedding

And i Ohhhed and Ahhhed over the dress

And i might have cried a little, how could you not?  My favourite part was when they kept smiling at each other and having little laughs!

And then i juggled, writing this post, watching the wedding, talking to friends on FB, checking twitter and texting my sister - all this before 6am :o)


Okay, sorry for the quickie post friends but i better get my arse in gear and get ready for work, sorry for the lack of foodie post but try the toast, its seriously fantastic! 


What is everyone up to this weekend? Any fun plans?

And on a final note, would it be wrong to request bells when BF and I get married?

OK lady, what the heck are you doing leaving your RSP contributions to the very last minute?? You are an FP! Don't you see that happen to clients all the time?? ;) OK my finger wagging really does not make you feel any better so I'm stopping but SERIOUSLY!

Did you see those tornadoes in Alabama? Absolutely mind blowing....One of my all time favorite movies is TWISTER and it makes me want to be a storm chaser every time I watch it...But then I realize, I hide under the bed when we get bad storms! Yes that is a slight exaggeration but only slight...

I love breakfasts like that...I went through a phase where all I ate was nut butter with mashed banana on top with what ever nuts I wanted...YUMMY!

Ah yes the royal wedding...How many curtains had to die in the making of that dress? I'M KIDDING ;) She looks gorgeous!

PS yes it would be very wrong. I would also suggest that you don't clean Bed, Bath & Beyond out of their curtains and wear it as a dress ;) But DO wear that yellow hat with the horns!
i love how you spell paycheck!
The wedding was absolutely lovely! If you want, you can hire me to be a bell ringer at your wedding. I have a red and white bell wreath that has a lovely, rich sound when you shake it.

So stressful about the money...sorry. :(
