Apr. 27th, 2015 12:40 pmBusy weekend!
Did the hair and makeup trial run on Saturday. Quite pleased with the colour and highlights they did and fairly satisfied with the makeup. I may buy my own lipstick because they didn't really have a shade i was happy with. The one they ended up using was ok, but still not quite my colour I don't think though it looked better in natural light when I got home. I think i've decided i'll probably wear my glasses most of the day though may get some photos with and without just because we can.
Yesterday was a ladies' lunch/shower for the women of the group of friends that go all the way back to junior and high school, and one or two even longer than that. My woman of honour drove down from Moncton and I had one or two other friends there as well and Mom and my niece came, too. It's so cool that we've all kept in touch all these years. There have been some of the old group that have drifted away and new people come in when people marry or bring friends along but there's always been a core group of us and now that everyone's kids are grown, we've been making the effort to get together a bit more often (with the men too, of course!), out for dinner or a party or function (we're now starting retirement parties!!!). Sometimes the women will go to a movie together, depending on who's available. I feel very lucky.
Got another facial tonight after work and one of the gifts yesterday was a certificate for that very same spa! Result!
Been sending emails and organizing people, delegating, etc.
Still not heard from the immigration guy so have let my friend know that if he's not back from his holiday to Australia by the wedding, i'll have to find someone else. Want to meet up while Graham is still here. Then again, the immigration site seems to have a lot of instruction and all the forms so maybe it's just a matter of being methodical and going through it all. I have no idea how expensive an immigration specialist is, it could be quite a lot but it could also be worth it.
