home from holidays

Jeff and me (okay...more like me cause I picked the date) have been getting some flack for setting the date in Oct...but I want a fall wedding cause that's my fave time of year...I love the leaves changing colours and falling to the ground...and loved playing in huge piles of leaves when me and Les were little...and let's face it HALLOWEEN is in the fall people...who doesn't love the costumes and of course the junk food...even though I'm a "grown-up" I still love the costumes...especially on the little kids that go trick-or-treating...

On to more interesting things...

it's been great my first week back to work...wow...there was lots to do to get my boot deck into shape...I have been busy!! there were lots of boots mixed up with other styles (my number 2 pet peeve) and empty boot boxes mixed in (my number 1 pet peeve)...I spent some time analyizing the upcoming promotions for Sept and figuring if I have enough of the ones that are super popular and the ones that are going on sale...turns out I don't...so today I spent some of the afternoon in the office trying to chase down boots with fake requisitions cause no one would give up any of the boots i really need...our boot deck is doing twice what our projections are and I am loosing customers to other stores because it takes 7 - 10 days to transfer in from another store...so I'm transfering it to my store ahead of time...teehee...I have the space and I need the boots...I did, however, make sure the store I was calling had wither slow sales in that style & size or had more than 1...I would feel guilty about leaving them high and dry without it...but when they are sitting on 3 and 4 and in a couple of cases 12 of one size I had no hard feelings at all...my bad...

I am off to bed...I have had a long day, but I am off tomorrow...yippee...I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but I think lounging in my jammas is high on my list of things to do...I love my jamma days...

have a good night everyone...

p.s. Jonathan is making a ruckus in my belly, so I don't think I'll be getting some sleep right away...I guess I can watch a movie and fall asleep to it...right Jeff?!?!

Hey Heather...did you tell Jeff about a possible trip around the Cabot Trail as a possible honeymoon destination???? Would you want to drag the camper along with you 2 & Jonathan???

So this means you feel Jonathan doing the hokey pokey in there now?

October would be perfect, it;s the only time of year that both Garry and I can get the same time off.
Keep that in mind and I love Holloween. A friend from work had a holloween wedding and everyone had to come dressed in costumes.
the bride, groom, and minster were clowns.

Would you really want to pull that big camper around the Cabot Trail? Yikes! Someone is brave.

It is really beautiful though. I read some newspaper articles recently how they are planning to build a huge space shuttle launch pad there. Better go soon, cause I think Cape Breton is in for some big changes! (Well, that's if you can believe what you read these days).

I think Fall is the best season for vacations - not too hot and not too cold, plus a little Indian Summer thrown in.
Speaking of footwear - I've got these totally fab boots I bought last Spring that I'm dying to show off. One pair in tan suede with fancy trim, and one in classic black, and both can be worn indoors or out.
My Progress Club had it's annual end-of-summer garage sale and I got a couple of cute Anne Geddes prints that you might like for your nursery.
