How does this differ from Cincinnatti?

Think more of a cow-town.

Hey, you guys, can I wear my (platinum) engagement ring in salt water? I'm gonna do lots of ocean swimming this week.

I woke up with a sinus headache. I'm consoling myself with slowly paging through the Levenger's catalog and eating hot Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal "Raisin Spice" which is still the most delicious oatmeal ever.

Rio, you are going to Costa Rica, right? I don't know about the ocean, but if I were going, I would think very hard about wearing such a pretty ring.

Actually, I've never been to Costa Rica and everyone says it is the safest of the Central American countries, but a shiny ring could make you stand out to criminals and it will certianly be noticed by anyone you try to buy anything from. I always leave my engagement ring home when DH and I go to Central America.

Note to self: buy decoy engagement ring after getting engaged

Further note to self: find someone to get engaged to.

Rio, when dh and I were on our honeymoon, another couple lost their ring (I think it was the groom's, but I can't remember) in the water. It was so sad. If you have somewhere safe to leave your ring while you travel, I think maybe you should.

Gronklies.

DH lost his wedding ring in the ocean 4 months after we got married. He's managed to keep the second one a bit longer, but he never wears it when diving.

ION, Toby (my dog) slept just fine all night, which was a relief because I was exhausted yesterday.

I'm still moved. It's kinda weird.

Okay, obviously merely mostly moved, because the Brita jug and the kettle are at the other place, which was a grave mistake.

Where's quester? I tuned into MI-5 last night at exactly the wrong place for someone who'd seen it before, and couldn't tear myself away until the moment was done. Damn them.

More frivolously, that Love Hewitt thingie with Colin has been recorded. I fear I have a lot of her to sit through. I can't say she's doing a bad job, but the character is like a mean Bridget Jones. I fear the sugary redemption.

I watched that Love Hewitt thingie, and realized that I had tried to read the book a while back, but had to stop because I hated it so much. I hated the movie less.

Hee! My shopping list is now: (1) Wedding dress. (2) Fiance.

But, as I looked around my almost-empty S2BX-apartment, I was thinking one should have housecooling parties. You know, when there's no furniture at all, just order in food and drink beers and the like on the floor.

There were a couple of those when I was in high school. Or at least legends of same.

Get the fiance first. You wouldn't want to end up falling for one that didn't match the dress.
