Annoyances

I'm home today as my boyfriend is sick, and i just couldn't leave him alone. I hate seeing him like this, and i have no idea how he got so sick- I think it has been an exhausting couple of months, but also he spent most of Tuesday nite-which was the coldest day of the year- walking in the rain.
I'm tired from being up most of the nite but I got a couple of hours sleep this morning so that has helped.. I'm very annoyed at a new Australian law that has come about.
Since drug dealers have been using cold and flu tablets to make amphetamines (ie. speed) , you are no longer able to get cold and flu tablets at the supermarket. Not only that, but the ones i have been using for years as I know they dont' make me (or him) drowsy, are barely stocked by chemists anymore. Why? because, whoever has a cold/flue and would like these tablets, needs to pass a nice Q &A session with the chemist. Are you freaking kidding me? I drove to the shops near here and there was no chemist, no tablets at the supermarket then had to drive to the nearest chemist- only to be met by a nice little questionnaire. I really had to hold back from saying 'do i look like a freaking drug dealer?' I've had very little sleep, a hellish week and i can't beleive the government is enforcing this. At the end of the day it's not going to make much difference... thankfully i'm not sick but i can't imagine if my bf had dragged himself to the chemist in his state, only to be met by a Q and A session with the chemist before he can take some cold and flu tablets.
Things in Australia just seem to be getting worse lately. There's lots of shootings, abductions, violence and the latest trend- footballers punching women.
I need a holiday!

Glad it's not me

I've been surrounded by all things weddings lately- A-who's a good friend of my bf's- got married and one of my dearest friends is getting married and i'm her bridesmaid.
After the craziness of the above mentioned friend A's wedding last week, i can only say that i'm glad I'm a bridesmaid for now..not that what happened had anything to do with how sweet and wonderful he is, but due to the fact his bride, now wife- is a crazy bridezilla that really really upset a lot of people she shouldn't have. I've been contemplating whether to blog about the details, but , i'll leave it as : I think she's honestly mentally disturbed because what she did, caused a great deal of embarrassment not only to him, but his family. She also upset people I care about, and that I cannot forgive her for. Unless she makes an honest apology, I don't really want to see her again- This probably sounds harsh- but I'm a pretty easygoing 'forgive and forget' sort of person, but not with this girl. I think she missed the point: marriage means adulthood = if you can't act like an adult (and she's 25! so she should have some clue) then dont' get married. Period. And for the love of God, sometimes being different on your wedding just looks bad, there's a reason wedding dresses are the way they are..if you want to look like a medieval goddess then tell the rest of the party, otherwise you look out of place at your own wedding! ok , enough said. end rant.
My dear friend that's getting married this year, she's everything the hideous bridezilla is not- kind, sweet , generous and extremely mature. And she's a year younger, which shows that maturity has nothing to do with age. I love helping her plan for her wedding because she's very practical about it..and there's a lot to do, but she's not stressing or being crazy. I love planning and helping other people do things, so I really am excited to be part of her big adventure.
On saturday we went wedding dress shopping- I thought this would be fun, after all, have you seen how expensive wedding dresses are nowadays? I thought sale assistants would be polite and you would only get people that are serious about wedding dresses, right..
No, i was really mistaken. Whereas a handful of places were helpful, we were mostly met by snooty sales assistants looking down at us for not having made an appointment. An appointment? are you supposed to look around every shop you might like a wedding dress in and get all their numbers, estimate how long this will take you and book yourself out on a saturday! I'm sorry that might be OK for people that have PA"s , but for us poor civilians with an everyday life, there's just no time to do such things!
One place that fit us was great and very helpful- and the friendliness leads to happiness which leads to possible purchase- so , snobby annoying sales people need to learn , this attitude doens't work with everybody..
One place was hell- this is where the word Bridezilla might come from- a wedding dress shop full of dressses on sale and women going crazy, pushing screaming, you name it. Now i've been to sales before and i've seen the madness , but nothing compared to this. Brides to be can sometimes be horrible horrible people. One girl was so rude to me, just because i walked in front of her accidently, that i"m still thinking about how a person can be that way. Crazy.
This leads to one conclusion> when the time comes for me to get married, I'm getting my dress made. I'm not setting foot in a bridal shop!!
