So tired yet I can't fall asleep

Have you ever had one of those nights when you're totally exhausted but just can't relax enough and let go of all those thoughts to just drift away?
That would be me, right now.

On a funnier note, I was doing some errands tonight and was in the convertible. Picture it: Lesley shopping at Safeway and trying to tuck in about 20 bags of groceries into the trunk. Loohooserrrrrrrrrrr! That would be me! I'm still laughing about it...

Now I must get some sleep...it's a big day ahead, plus 23 weather and me and a whole bunch of kiddies heading to the park...wish me luck!

Here's the wedding pics...

I swear we danced to every song that night, Aaron tipped the DJ so we got every request in too. It was awesome - although H and I were the only two dancing to Rasputin, you know, Ra ra rasputin lover of the russian queen.....
Being saucy...
Alex and the little Princess - note the lack of a kilt by this point
I'm giving my toast - see the Bacardi Breezer in hand...I was hoping it'd distract me enough to not cry, nope, didn't work...but Aaron said they could understand me fine. See? I wasn't a blubbering fool, just a teary eyed one.
That's my boy! WOOT WOOT!
Ahhh, aren't they cute together?
Note the hot MOH standing up there, hehe
Here I am crying my eyes out before the ceremony - we'd just arrived and I spotted my kilt wearing boys...ah, so precious!
Kathryn and Jeff with the honour guard
Joseph and Aaron

Aaron and the boys waiting for the ceremony to begin...gah, what angels!
Unka Jeff and Jonathan posing for the camera
The cake which has lots of stories to go with but I'll leave that up to Mom and Dad, it was simply delicious though!
High Five to the cool Auntie!
The signing...that's Feist F-E-I-S-T not F-I-E-S-T...and it's not pronounced "Feast"...poor Kathryn, I don't think anyone ever mis-pronounced Lang?!?


So, here's the deets:

Wedding was awesome, reception was awesome. Everyone stood where they were supposed to and said what they were supposed to. The cake arrived fine, the boys wore their kilts for a couple hours, Aaron was the belle of the ball (besides our little Princess of course) he was the only one in a kilt and the ladies kept trying to see if he was traditional or not. I know at one point one of the aunties had her hand on some flesh. Everything was super fantastic! Can't wait for the next big wedding to come but I'll leave those deets to someone else to chat about...and my dress was hot hot hot although the skirt was too big but I'm not complaining, after all swim suit season is just around the corner!

Thursday Thirteen

13 Failed Thursday Thirteen Lists
  1. Words to describe myself
  2. Crazy things I've done
  3. Funny one-liners
  4. Songs I could listen to over and over
  5. Things in my fridge
  6. Books I've read
  7. Things to do in Calgary
  8. People I'd like to meet
  9. Places I've been
  10. Happy thoughts
  11. Things you'd like to hear
  12. Desserts I love
  13. Things I love about spring

I've definitely had an off day which is totally unusual for a happy, upbeat person like myself. I have successfully made a list of 13 attempts at completing my Thursday Thirteen for this week. I've read more than 13 books but couldn't think of really quality ones I wanted to share and I'm sure I could think of lots of words to describe myself and maybe the crazy stories aren't exactly appropriate for the world wide web...you know today can't end soon enough!

Long awaited....

Drop it like it's hot girlfriend! Yup, we're on stage shaking it
And we met up with 3 other stagettes, one bride wasn't dressed up and was probably more embarrassed to be wearing normal clothes..it's like an unwritten rule or something...The bride in the lei totally looked like Avril Lavigne too.
Shopping in Banff...love the earmuffs!

Karen: smile Lesley, look like you're enjoying yourself

Lesley: what the hell am I doing at a country bar?C'mon Liz (mother of the bride) let's show them how to party...
And she totally kept up to me shot for shot. WOOT WOOT Liz is a party girl!
The bridal party, please ignore the bride straddling the bannister...What a great excuse to be able to wear our panties on the outside of our pants and feather boas... I tell you Monica and I should totally be professional stagette planners, although Hunter was unavailable for Kathryn's :-(

Finally, here's me and my new car !

I have no idea why I have such a smirky look on my face...must have been something the photographer said like "no Starbucks while driving please"...just kidding Aaron.
And of course in the background is the silver Mommy-mobile with the "sporty fin" and Aaron's big ole 4 by 4...is it a redneck thing to own lots of vehicles?
