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.

Unpossible.

Well, given the right mental and emotional controls.

Ooh, good call. I just make my list as I think of what needs to go on it.

I was thinking of watching the Love Hewitt thing this afternoon. Did the serial killer thing air already?

And congratulations on being almost moved, ita!

For the brides-to-be, just be thankful that you aren't like this poor lass, who wrote Dear Abby with her dilemma:

DEAR ABBY: I just became engaged to my boyfriend of two years. We plan to be married in October. My boyfriend and I have agreed to have an old-fashioned church wedding and, of course, a white wedding dress. But our wedding will be in October and Labor Day is in September, and I never wear white after Labor Day.

My boyfriend insists I should wear white. He says there is an exception to every rule, but I disagree, and we don't want to change our wedding date. Can you tell me what to do? -- BRIDE WITH NO DRESS IN ILLINOIS
