The Update You've Been Waiting For
Hi There.
Some stuff has happened since I last blogged. I'll try to list it in order from big stuff to littler stuff:
Laurette is pregnant! Wholy crow! And not only that but so far everything looks good and the baby is SMA free. Everyone think good thoughts for her and Mark. That's an order. This freakin baby had better enjoy it's time in Laurette's belly then get out here in Sept like it's supposed to.
Word is that Adam HH got engaged! Of course I have no details what so ever because HH told Jay and as always Jay's mind can only hold onto the most important part of the story. Wait that's not true, Jay told me about the ring, how the band kind of splits and goes around the stone, right? So HH, fill us in. Please include: how you proposed, what she did/said, more details on the ring, any wedding plans. Also, will you two be working on kids anytime soon? I only ask because I know you're into kids. I'm totally psyched for you. I really like Kate, even though we've only hung out twice. :( You should seriously call ME and make plans with ME (clearly Jay is not able to make plans with people either). But whatever. <---Playin' it cool.
Jay and I got a hefty tax refund! I got a very good deal on a bedroom set from Bernie and Phyls, which is coming today!! I paid eleven hundred for bed, nightstand, dresser, mirror, and chest including tax and delivery! Originally they wanted seventeen hundred for three pieces without tax or delivery. So yea.
I turned 26, ew, on March 12. It was good, but just not the same as when I was little. Parties and gifts are so awesome when you're a kid. I can't wait to experience my own children's delight at their birthdays (not that it will happen anytime soon, so don't go there!). My assistant baked me a cake and gave me a meal all ready to eat for dinner -- totally the way to my heart! She also had the kids sign a card and had a present ready from them, a candy bar and a helium balloon. My parents gave me a gift card to Nordstroms. I've already spent part of it on a pair of pants, which are now my new favorite, and some socks. Jay got me Dance Dance Revolution for xbox, so fun! My brother came over last weekend and he is NUTS! He was amazing at the timed part, and it is so freaking funny to watch him! He looks like Gregory freakin Heins, that tap dancer guy who I saw on Sesame Street. All of you should come and play it. My Dad has once and my Mom is gunna today. Yay.
Mom and I dropped out of Yoga college. There's a lot to say about that, but I feel like this post is getting too long and your "puppy dog mind" is running away. Our instructor, named Mega, like to say that the mind is like a puppy dog. Seriously, do you really think her name is actually Mega? Actually it's splet Megha, which makes me think it was Meghan, but she dropped the "n." More details on that experience to follow later.
Also, not sure where to put this, but things with S and S have been interesting. I'll let her update you on this if she's one of your friends too.
Ok, now you can go do whatever else it is your mind is telling you must be done right now, you little puppy, you. Stop by here again read up on my adventures with my Momma.
Stand in Godess Position with me. Don't forget to breathe!

Hi! I totally did get engaged! It's awesome! I'm so psyched and googlie eyed and giddy with joy. I don't know how long these comments can be, but let's see if they'll accomodate a bit of the story.
So I got a ring in South Africa when I was visiting my parents, so I got to go ring shopping with them which was awesome. Also on the trip I got to hang out with my Grandmother. She rocks. She's been in this wonderful storytelling mood, and one story she told me is the following:
My grandfather grew up in this teeny little middleofnowhere town in South Africa called Calvinia. As he grew into his 20's he had a fair amount of lady callers, and the townsfolk would always ask him "when are you getting engaged?!" cause he was getting pretty old for those days to be single. He would always respond "the 26th!". This went on for years. Whenever anyone would ask when he was getting engaged, all he would say was "they 26th!" And then when he finally met my grandmother and proposed to her, he did so on the 26th. I thought that was an awesome story, and so I knew the date I wanted to propose. The 26th.
So on the 26th, I made sure Kate got home late from work by asking a friend of hers to take her out for drinks or something after work. I wanted to be sure that it was dark when she got home, because here's what I did:
The lights were all off when she got home, and there was a path of candles leading from the front door to the counter in the Kitchen, upon which sat a cluster of candles and a big red bowl full of ice, chilling a glass of champagne (the good stuff!). On the counter next to the bowl was a little sign that said "DRINK ME." Then there was another little path of candles from there to the closed door of the bedroom upon which was a sign that said "JOIN ME." She opened the door, and I was inside with a bazillion candles and a ring and some sweet things to say, one of which was, "Will you marry me?"
After lots of giggling and smiling and amazement and closeness there was a "yes!"
Yay!
