Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yupes! Totally had to go back and read about Grace's surgery. NOT Tuesday. Wednesday? I think the cousins come to town on Thursday.

oy. Maybe no polish today. My brain isn't working very good.

Yuppers! Did you get my (belated) email with my addy?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I did. If I had an ounce of sense and energy I'd go put the box together now and not do it at 5:00 AM.

Sense and energy. I have neither right now. I think maybe bed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Muppet-Themed Proposal of the Day:

To propose to his girlfriend Sara, and make the rest of us look really bad in the process, Sid Ceaser custom ordered a pair of Muppets designed to resemble the couple with which he put together a short film about their relationship to be screened during the previews at a movie theater the two "happened" to patronize.

The whole story is cute, although it's reminiscent of the guy who made the iPhone commercial. Is this the new proposal trend?

Yeah, here's another one. And another one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is this the new proposal trend?

Maybe I have no unicorns in my heart, but I wouldn't want a cute or gimmicky proposal. No ring in the champagne glass, no skywriting, no billboards, that sort of thing makes me nervous.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I also lack both sense and energy. But I am heading to sleep because guess what I`m doing tomorrow, Kat? I`m taking your niece to the airport so she can go home for the holidays, yay home.

I think when two people actually want to get married, it's hard to screw up the proposal. But my DH says that the wedding is all about the bride, the proposal is all about the fiance. So maybe instead of thinking of it as a gimmicky proposal, think of it as men who enjoy a grandiose romantic gesture and figure this is their moment.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My former intern just got engaged. To the girl I more or less introduced him to. She came out to visit this weekend, met his folks in ABQ. But I didn`t hear if there was a big ol` proposal story. I don`t think he bought her a ring, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wednesday, then?
