✥ today mum and i decided to start one of our yearly juice detoxes, which involves not eating anything except fresh fruit and vegetable juices for as many days as we can bare... our last detox lasted one week and i lost 4 kilos and felt on top of the world.
we started the day with a brisk powerwalk, followed by vegetable juice for breakfast and i was feeling like it was gonna be easy. for lunch at friars street cafe, where we met my three cousins who are in the wedding party, i ordered two orange juices, resisting the tempting menu with a little more difficulty.
we then had a dress fitting at 'brides and maids' and laughed our arses off at how ridiculously huge the bridesmaids dresses all were on us, since the shop lady screwed up the order by choosing american sizes.
while pinning the crap out of mine, she pinched my boob hard, twice, and i was totally braced for her stabbing a pin into one, but luckily for her she didn't.
there was a sign in the fitting room saying 'no photography' so i pulled the sneaky iphone photo trick and nearly got busted, then found out its only if you haven't bough the dress that you aren't allowed to take photos!... i guess to avoid people pulling a 'muriel'.
i did a tad of shopping and then we picked up jordan, my cousin's little boy, from the same primary school i went to (which i havn't visited since the 80's) and as i wandered around, a million memories flooded over me.
by dinner time i was starving, and suffering so badly from caffeine withdrawal, that i said 'f#@k it!', sculled a coffee and decided to go out for pizza with donna and jords.
juice detox 'take 2' tomorrow...
haha. Photos are forbidden because brides who design their own dress often shop around for design ideas before they take all these ideas SOMEWHERE ELSE to be put together! changing rooms are for SILENT camera mode (or lots of throat clearing!) only :)
ReplyDeleteha ha ha.. yeah you can see my pic was taken very quickly and on the sly... ;o) but it captured the moment!
ReplyDeletewhen are you gonna get married sam? ;o)
straight after you, Anna!! ;) i shouldn't even joke about that, actually, because i get the feeling that you and jerry are not that far off! :) Would you belive my guy and i almost argue about it, tho?! i feel guilty because deep down i believe he is the 'marrying type', even tho he says that my way of thinking has rubbed off on him. I have no respect for the whole 'paper' concept, and i naturally rebel against anything remotely conventional anyway. So basically - even we wanted to - he is too scared to ask!!! This is no problem, tho ;) We discuss it pretty often sometimes, as if it's what we 'should' do. The conversation always goes nowhere! and every time i begin calculating the cost of a wedding, my mind automatically clicks over to what we could do with the same amount of money on a European holiday! *sigh* :) Ultimately, i think we both enjoy the challenge of making sure that we have more than enough trust in each other to enjoy the idea of waking up next to our 'lover' for the rest of our lives - not because anything or onyone is forcing us to, but simply because we both know that there is nowhere else in the world we would rather be :)
ReplyDeleteand for the kicker.... my security password to post this comment was "Spain" lmAo :)
ReplyDeleteaaaaaw!! that's really really sweet!! its true the piece of paper means nothing (except a visa in our case!), its just a great excuse for a big party and a nice thing to celebrate i guess... but yeah its hard to justify the money when it could be a nice overseas trip instead...
ReplyDeleteif you ever do decide to do it you'll make a gorgeous bride sam! :o)
