I am such a good internet shopper! I just keep impressing myself.

I'm planning a trip to the Netherlands and Germany in late May/early June, and I'm looking for a flight. I'm on the Air Canada WebSavers email list and keep an eye out for their sales. I'm also on the JetsGo and WestJet mailers (although someone recently told me not to take JetsGo if you can help it - sadly, I just bought my super-cheap flight to Calgary with JetsGo).

Anyway, the AirCanada WebSaver was telling me I could get a pretty good flight price ($678) if I left before May 31st. Cool. But I had to book by the end of today.

So I toddle over to the Flight Centre where I usually go for good prices. What do I get? Crap.

So now it's off to >Expedia.ca and search there. Prices look much higher. Looks like AirCanada has a good price, then, hey?

Read the fine print. On Expedia, they include taxes and all the extra costs. AirCanada does not.

So I submit my AirCanada flights and get to the bottom line. MORE expensive by about $20. Then I notice on Expedia that it's telling me if I come back a day earlier, I can pay WAY less! ~Click~

Yep. Air Transat is CHEAPER! And I can wait to book until March 31st. Plus, have you ever been to the Air Transat site? There's this interesting interface that is not on their homepage. >Check it out. Totally love it.

So, my touching email to Tony really hit the mark. (I think he liked the part where I called him an ass.) He called me this morning to let me know that he's engaged. (Shocking.)

And then he sent me their wedding website so that he wouldn't have to tell me all the "boring" details of the proposal, etc.

So I feel a little better.
But at least I got to bad-mouth him on my site.

Tony got engaged.

How weird is that? He didn't even tell me. I found out from Scott, whom I stayed with in Melbourne. He's coming all the way from Australia for Tony's engagement party.

I guess I'm not invited to the party, huh?

Odd, that someone I once shared so much with can just... stop caring. Perhaps love does that to you: wraps you up in the tornado of the relationship so that other things slip your mind or seem less important.

Obviously, I am making this all about me. Which is unfair. And selfish. And silly.

I am happy for him. I just feel disappointed that he didn't call or even email to tell me the exciting news.

Home late from work again.

At least I managed to make myself a yummy grilled chicken salad. One of my FAVOURITES!

I can't believe how difficult it is to find time for all the things I want to do at home:

  • cook
  • update my website
  • build my friend's website
  • practice for choir
  • do my stretches
  • read
  • phone my friends and family

    Time just gets away from me. And suddenly I can't remember what day it is or what I'm supposed to be doing tomorrow. Or the rent cheques I have to submit, presents I have to buy, emails I'm supposed to send, life I'm supposed to live, love I'm supposed to feel.

    Time is so precious.

    Today was a day for shopping.

    I went in and wandered. It always relaxes me to go when there aren't that many people and I just touch and try and meander.

    And getting a good deal excites me more than it should.

    So when I walked out of The Bay today with a sweater, 2 shirts and 3 bras, for much less than most would have paid for it, I left with a small pleased smile on my face.

    And tomorrow I may bring back that white t-shirt with the ruffle because it's not really ME. But today, I thought of yesterday with Raye and our trip to Winners. She told me that I have a very definite style that makes her say "yes, that's what Cathy would wear." And while that's not exactly an insult, I thought it was time to try something new.

    I've been feeling like I need a change and while a white t-shirt won't cut it, at least it's better than doing something drastic and short-sighted.

    And besides, I got a great deal on it.

    And I think it's my duty to let the women (and I suppose men, if they're really interested) know that the Bay is having a fantastic sale on last season's Jockey bras. I think I have to go back and get more.
