Let me see...what to blog about? Not a lot has gone on in the last few days to really blog about....
bwahaha...riiiight.
So he did it! He actually, actually, actually...did it. He has done it before, but never has he put a ring on my finger AND called his family to tell them! Apparently this makes it official huh?
Aaack! I am an engaged woman! Does that mean I can't flirt and sleep with other guys?
Bwah...kidding babe. That was all for your benefit ;)
No seriously, Jonathon asked me to marry him last weekend. It was very sweet, and I was very surprised! I knew it was coming, due to the ongoing promise of a "surprise" for six weeks...but to be quite honest, I had pretty much let it go. I figured the surprise thing was killing me, so I should just forget (or try to) about it...or at least not dwell on it. And whalah...in his pocket was a ring.
A VERY nice one, I might add. I seriously couldn't have imagined anything else. It fits me so well. Perfect cut, perfect size...just perfect. :)
***side note and VERY random thought coming***
Is it John Mayer day today or something? First, they played "Room for Squares" in its entirety at the gym this morning. THEN some woman in my office has been playing it ALL friggin' day long. Over and over and over! Not that I am against Mr. Mayer, BUT...sheeeesh. Relax a little!"
***side note finished***
So yeah, I guess the planning must start. I don't even know where to begin. I am feeling a little stressed about planning anything. Trying to make everyone happy is not going to be fun, nor is it going to be possible. Not to mention...standing up to my parents about a few things is going to add some disappointment for them, and I hate that feeling. Alas, I think it has got to be done. And it's just disappointing their expectations of me...in reality, most expectations are not met anyways. I don't know...it will all work out. It has to. There isn't any other option.
As for the job front, I interviewed for that job last week at the Kentucky Center, and I haven't heard a word from them. Such is my life though...so I emailed her today. Still nothing. Welcome the "dangling carrot" syndrome. I am not dwelling though. Something else will come along. Plus...my job here at Stage One isn't TOO bad these days. It's a paycheck every week, so I can't complain about that. However, I DO need to find something that pays me more money. I am struggling these days, and with tour and plane tickets and wedding stuff...it's going to be rough. Fun, but rough!
Let's see, what else? The war. I really don't have much to say on that. I think I mentioned in a previous blog that I am in admiration for those that KNOW their opinion, and are willing to stand up for it. There are those types of people that kind of stick their heads in the sand, and just wait for it all to be over with, thinking that it doesn't affect them, only because that is the easy way out. I probably fall into that category...though the more I watch and the more I hear...the closer to home it gets. First, with Jeff over there...I can't even imagine the worry his mother and his grandmother must be going through (even Jonathon). That's a situation that I have never been in...having someone THAT close to me go to war. It was good to hear that he was still on the ship...HOPEFULLY it will all be over by the time they send him to battle. Then there is Nate. I was very humbled when I heard the news about him. Humbled, not in a "humiliated" way, but humbled in a "this is real" way (if that makes sense). I feel for Idaho (okay...Jennifer). Selfishly, I think about ICE getting sent over there (if he ever were to be, or if he was in the military in some way). That breaks me up. I can't imagine...and she is trying to plan a wedding...trying to plan their future. That has to be tough. It's a horrible, horrible thing.
*end of war talk*
I talked to my friend Angela today. I used to work with her when I lived in Arizona 2 YEARS ago (I cant believe that I haven't lived in Arizona for two years now...well almost!). It was nice talking to her! She was very excited about the news, and couldn't believe that someone can actually "puts up with me". Yes that was a direct quote! She said "Rach, he must be a VERY patient man!". Tehe...uh. Thanks !?!? We had some good times. Every year they have two conferences (this is for the Arizona Optometric Association). One in the Spring, and one in the Fall. The last one I went to, was the Spring Conference. Angela and I had SUCH a good time. We were always getting stoned and we were always the ones that were falling down drunk in front of the doctors. It was so fun! Bwahaha, those slimey, old, doctors are such suckers for a fairly decent looking woman. FREE DRINKS! Aahhh, the memories. I do miss that job a bit...but I think its because its in Arizona, and I miss AZ a bit. I miss the weather, and just how fun the summertime is there.
AAAHHH! SUMMER! I cant wait! I want a da by the pool. Oh, that makes me remember one summer when I was living in Tempe (it was like August of 2000), and Shala was living with me. We spent days at the pool, drinking our bitchpops, and listening to the latest DMB show. Good times!
Many more to come though. I am really excited about this summer, and everything going on right now! Its nice to not have anything to complain about! Y' all better enjoy it! ;)
Okay, I better click "post and publish" or else a certain someone is going to rech through IM and strangle me! ;)
