Mornings when you wake up and the world seems perfect. You wake up with a smile, some good news from FedEx, a boyfriend who kisses you goodbye looking amazing in his three-piece suit (yes, my boyfriend wears a three-piece suit every day. Drool.) And on top of that, you are having a good hair day, and when you are walking out the door to go to work at 7:45am, you look at your day planner and realize that – oh, wait a minute – I don’t even have to go to work today!
Wow, all of that and it is only 8:13am. And, I do actually have to go to work today. I am having a “Team Planning Day,” but it doesn’t start until 9:00am, is full of fun activities, I get to wear jeans, and lunch is provided. Doesn’t get much better than that! Plus, I really like my team and my manager so I am sure it will prove to be an overall awesome day.
It sure does make up for yesterday morning …
I was up at 6:30am and at the airport for 7:24am when my best friends flight was scheduled to land for a five hour layover in Calgary. I was a bit nervous driving there, as it was so foggy I could barely see the road in front of me, and when the flight didn’t land by 8:00am, I asked an airport staff who informed me that no flights would be departing or arriving for the morning as the fog was too thick. MAN, I haven’t seen my best friend since I left for Calgary in May and I wouldn’t be seeing her until August. Bummer. Big time bummer. Without any hugs and cuddles, I dejectedly drove home, and quickly scheduled brekky plans with my best girlfriend in Calgary, who came armed with tissues and smiles to cheer me up. (Thanks, Natalie)
I had a great weekend though – Tim had a visitor come up for the weekend, a friend from University and they spent two days in Banff, painting the town red and snowboarding. Friday, I went out for a fancy dinner and danced my bootie off at a (tiny, but fun) club. I went to a comedy club on Saturday night and laughed so hard my abs hurt, and I watched my little cousin in an equestrian competition.
What’s that? You want some photo evidence?
Dancing at Habitat with my cousin, Em. No pictures of her, because I forgot to ask her if it was okay. Next time, people.
The reason why I was maybe a little bit excited to go to work today? My new Blazer. It is so a tall-girl blazer (normally the waist hits over my ribs and the sleeves are too short) and it is so perfect! PS Where are my eyebrows in this picture?!
And it is still quite foggy today, from my balcony. What’s up with that?
And P.S. – The package Fed Ex is delivering to my work today (because I told the guy on the phone that I was not able to problem-solve at 6:40am, and he asked if I had a workplace he could drop the package off at – those job things sure do come in handy sometimes) is a product for which I am doing a review! I am super excited

it’s so snowy in Calgary! Here most of the snow is melted, or is in the process of melting because it’s been so amazing out for the past 2 days and is supposed to be like 12 tomorrow. I can’t believe you’re going a year and a like 3 months without seeing Stef!

so did her flight end up landing later or what happened?
I love your outfit in both those pics! Its funny how having the perfect outfit can make doing anything just a little bit better!
Oh Leah I was fighting off tears: 1) when they announced on the plane that we were directly above Calgary but it was so foggy that we weren’t going to land and keep trucking to VANCOUVER to land 2) when I realized I had no way of letting you know for another 2 hours till we landed because you can’t use cell phones on phones 3) when we got to Vancouver and I actually called you 4) when I called my parents 5) when I fly BACK to Calgary knowing I am RIGHT THERE but can’t see you …. hopefully I’ll get a few days another time… love you!
Wow! Rollercoaster. In love with our outfit at the dance club dinner place thinger. Where’s it from??
Hey LB. Sorry you didn’t get to see Stef. I’ve had a rollercoaster last little while too. Wish we could borrow each other’s clothes and go to Ranchman’s this weekend.

I love Mondays when there is a fresh Leah post to read! That makes me happy
@Lauren – Pretty jealous of your lack of snow and beautiful weather! It hasn’t been too, too bad here. I am surviving.
@Laura Jean – Maybe you can see from Stef’s comment, but her flight got rerouted to Vancouver, and then back to Calgary but only for a few minutes before they re-boarded to ON. So close, yet so far.
Thanks about the outfits! My mood can def be improved immensely by the perfect outfit.
@Stef-
I miss you. We’ll talk this week. I want to hear about WAAC!
@Allison – The top is from Dynamite! $15.00, can you believe it?! Go forth and purchase one, your day will improve. Unless, that is, you haven’t spent all of your money at Joe Fresh!
@Micaela – That would be nice
Yea, it’s a tough time for you right now. Keep on keepin’ on, girl. You haven’t much longer before it is all over!
@Lara- Thanks girly!!! I really look forward to checking your blog daily as well
