jilli, that Pete is so adorable. You guys are one of my favorite couples.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Knowing how important the actual proposal was to my husband, I've come to see the "telling me he wanted to get married" and the proposal as two separate events. As to the first, I was helping a friend look for wedding dresses and DH asked me if I tried on any myself.
"No. Doesn't dress shopping come after the engagement?"
"No no no! It can take months to find the right dress! You have to start shopping now, so you're ready!"
"But you haven't proposed."
"Formalities! Do you have any idea how hard it is to pick out a ring?"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ok, shelves cleared and most Christmas stuff out. The boys wanted food, so while I got them something I also emptied the dishwasher and got some dishes done (but not all, damn you dishes!). I've also moved the printer to the back room, but have to clean things up a bit before I can hook it up, so I guess that is next.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Mr. Burrell could not be more adorable if he tried.
Well, maybe if he grew his sideburns out again, but that's it. Once that happens, MAXIMUM ADORABLE.

Oooo, I do like the sideburns.
ION, the broken pipes are mostly fixed and the plumbers gone for the day. I am verra happy with the new plumbers. Now we are taking some samples in to get them tested for asbestos. I'm crossing my fingers that there aren't any highly toxic minerals in my house. So far, the one expert who looked at them said we were safe, but we are testing to make sure.

Oh that would not be fair, broken pipes AND asbestos!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I had been wondering why some men felt a need to make the proposal such a spectacle after seeing the video of a ring being presented by a otter (I think). The explanation that the proposal is for him and the wedding is for her kind of makes sense, I guess. I'd want a no stadium/arena rule though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
bah. Still waiting for our bus which was supposed to leave 40 minutes ago. All they can tell us is it will be here soon.
