I feel Happy

Merlin Sirius Strummer Jefferies arrived home today. I have fallen head over heels in love

That's great Mrs. D.
What a cute pup!!

^^And what an awesome name!

DCGG: I feel very much the same as Emma. And I'll add my congrats. I understand your apprehension, wondering if he's doing this mainly b/c he's worried you two might not last through your college years. I think I'd tell him, I love you and I know you love me, and we'll be together always if that's what's meant to be for us. You two have love and trust. Rings and papers don't affect that; they're beautiful traditions, but you've got the important things covered already. It could also be that he's not acting out of worry; he might just be thankful you're in his life and also want to spend a lifetime making you happy.

Again agreeing with Emma: three months does seem soon, but only the two of you know what's right for you. And don't go by me; I waited 10 years. But waiting till after college makes sense for many reasons: financial, building stronger self-confidence, and it gives the 2 of you time to go through many ups and downs, and experience to work things out regardless. That way you'll have confidence in the strength of your love for one another.

Congrats Mrs. D


Yes I understand what you guys are saying. My sister-in-law jumped down my throat saying it is way too soon for me to accept that ring and I should just tell him to give me a promise ring instead. As the day went on I thought about it more. It would be rude of me to tell him no to his gift. He knows I want to wait. So I see it right now as when he wants to give me the ring I will accept it and the question that goes along with it. But it isn't something set in stone. If things change over the next two years I can always give the ring back if the worst happens. But if the worst doesn't happen then saying no now would be a slap in the face.

We talk about such wonderful things.

I got chinese food for dinner tonight and left overs... Nummy

That's fantastic! Congrats! I really miss being an undergrad - at my old college we used to get little award ceremonies for being on the dean's list. I distinctly remember the mozzarella sticks. They always had mozzarella sticks (among other delicious foods) at the awards ceremonies. There's no such event at the grad schools I've been to. I had a friggin' 3.75 GPA when I did my masters...and I got nuthin'. La Diva has been sans award mozzarella sticks for far too long.

My uncle's party turned out alright. The party started at 7 and we were an hour and a half late because my dad had to work. By the time we got there some were already leaving. I said hello to everyone and by the time we sat down and ordered pretty much everyone had left. Also my aunt had been drinking so she was very nice for the little time I saw here.

I got a couple awesome lace skirts the other day for $4 each.

Thanks! And lucky find on the skirts! Vintage shop?

No problem. And no I found the skirts at Fashion Bug in their clearance rack, it was from their winter line I think.

^ Glad the B-day party went alright!

Aww.. sometime the Hubby should give'a waltz in with an award plate of mozzella sticks for you! Awww

Nsane: Congrats!

Nightmistress: Glad the party was bearable.

Diva: My husband is a mozzie fiend -- he would gladly take you for celebratory sticks!

^I bought my boyfriend a deep fryer for valentines day. The fresh cheese sticks rock my world.

I just noticed my hubby did some cleaning in the living room and kitchen. He must have done it late last night or earlier today when I was still sleeping. That never happens! LOL I'm glad he's finally pitching in.

^^ Good! Glad to hear it.

I've been eating healthier for the past week or so, and it's been making me feel great! Not to mention, it's been super-yummy an has forced me to experiment with cooking methods I don't normally use, like steaming. No more sugary drinks, much less oil and salty bullion, no sweets; just fruit, veggies, tofu, nuts, spices, water, and tea.

Last night I had steamed tofu in a sesame-miso sauce, a bed of steamed spinach and asparagus, and some teriyaki seaweed strips.

I think I might of done well on my bio final today. Well at least the lecture part. The lab practical is thursday. This time I at least looked at most of the questions and thought I knew them. So heres to keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm sorry for the double post but I almost forgot to mention....

I GOT THE APPARTMENT BUILDING I WANTED AT CMU!!!!!! It's the most expensive but has the best location on campus and is the only apartment building with your own washer and dryer in the room with you.

^^ Oh, awesome!! Congrats!

I just got my first textile arts commission!

^^ Congrats -- that's great news!

Faith & The Muse is coming to Omaha tomorrow night & this lil lady is definitely going!
I even traded my normal 2pm work shift for an 8am one to go
Only sad news is that Dan can't go because he has to get up early on Friday to drive to Minnesota.
Tis ok though..everyone else I know will be there.
I am so excited! Faith & The Muse= brilliance

After my lab practical tomorrow I'm done with bio for the semester.
