Update (pre-Diaryland) Bachelor(ette) 2003-07-28 - 3:45 p.m. How can it be that I have news again so soon? Well I do and I promise to keep it shorter than last time � I just figure that by the time I get to write again in late August I�ll have so much to tell everybody about the wedding and honeymoon, that the stuff I have to say now will get overshadowed and lost in the shuffle. First of all, J and I had our bachelor/ bachelorette parties this past weekend and a fun time was had by all (I hope. I think. According to my sources anyway�). The day had an interesting structure. At the risk of dating myself, if you picture the way Bananarama sort of wove their hands in and out in their �Venus� video, that kind of describes how the day went. First Jo (my Babe of Honour) and I went and played with makeup with the able women at Shoppers Drug Mart and got a handle on our �looks� for the big day while J went for brunch with a friend, then the guys went golfing and the women went to the Casino. No, I didn�t win anything. High-roller that I am, I lost a staggering $6.75, though I suppose that�s not bad for an afternoon�s entertainment. Everyone met back at our place for a BBQ, and then the groups split up again with the guys going off to do their manly rituals and the women doing our own thing. (I can�t give details and spoil the mystery, now can I?) Then we all met up again at the end of the evening at Zaphod�s, the bar where J and I met. J and I aren�t big drinkers so we were amongst the more sober of the lot but that�s OK, we had a great time and our heads weren�t pounding like SOME people�s the next morning (and you know who you are). It was a great balance of doing stuff with the chycks and getting to see my guy friends who were going to J�s stuff (as well as his friends of course, who are also awesome). That�s not the big news from that day though; the big news is that J popped the question all over again, in front of everyone at the BBQ, with his maternal grandmother�s diamond that he�d had reset for me. It�s bee-yoo-ti-ful! There was a suspenseful moment as I pondered my answer In other big news, the closing date for the house has been moved up from the end of September to August 22nd so I won�t have to carry the whole loan for the extra month (yay!) and the bank even renegotiated my interest rate for the remaining mortgage (resulting in a significant saving for me) to boot! Double yay! As I�ve said before, the Caisse Populaire has been awesome to me throughout the whole project and they totally rock! We had planned on coming back from our honeymoon sometime between August 20th and 22nd, but we are now pretty much locked in to being back by the end of the 21st as my lawyer says I need to be on hand to sign papers on the morning of the closing at the latest since they can�t get them ready in time for me to sign them before the wedding. That�s all for now. I�ll write again when I�m an old married woman! Love, Shawna
