Erin!!! Woo hoo!!!!
Do we have an acronym for Erin's fiance? It is customary, you know.
An acronym, or a nickname?
AFEF! (Acronym For Erin's Fiance)
It's certainly more pronouncable than the other. I say we run with it!
Cute! Or, uh, she could come up with the acronickname, since she's the betrothed one.
ION, I hate not having my laptop. I'm glad in theory that I can use The Boy's PC, but I LOATHE Windows with a firey and pure hatred, I dislike his ergonomic keyboard, and every chair in the house is too high for me to comfortably sit in at the desk for too long. Which is difficult, since I brought work home that must be done.
Get fixed quickly, little laptop!
Congrats, Erin!
I just got a notice that another school wants to interview me.
that's because you're AWESOME.
P-C, I can only add -- keep in touch with your siblings. But on similar terms to what Tep described -- your conflict with your mother is not a topic for discussion. You don't ask them to take sides or comment. Ideally, you don't even let them acknowledge that there is conflict, but that part may be asking too much.
I was just wondering whether I should text my sister and ask if my mom is crying all the time or something. Guess that's a no.
I woke up this morning and I'm all "Did I..did we...?" and the ring is switched over to the left hand.
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys. Oh, wow, I'm getting married. What the fucking FUCK?!
AND HIS ACRONYM SHALL BE...DAN. IT STANDS FOR...DAN.
Need more coffee.
This interview is at a small Catholic school near a city that I don't know much about other than that at least one Buffista lives there. I guess I'll check out the school's website this afternoon, so that I'll know something about it going into the interview.
AND HIS ACRONYM SHALL BE...DAN. IT STANDS FOR...DAN.
I like it! I am so looking forward to pictures of your dress/outfit, and tales of finding it.
Way to go, Hil, interview-getting rock star!
AND HIS ACRONYM SHALL BE...DAN. IT STANDS FOR...DAN.
Damn, girl. You sure are a wordsmith!
So, how did he propose? Or did you propose?
Oh, it was so romantic!
I'd had a migraine all day and had been sleeping it off. I can downstairs where he was watching Stewart and ate some broccoli. Then I took some Ambien so I would go to sleep and get rid of the headache for good. I was bumming one of his smokes before I went upstairs to go back to bed, and I said "Do you want to marry me?" And he said "I've been thinking about it a lot. Yes."
I said "Really?...Uh, does this mean we're engaged?" He looked thoughtful and said "Well, I haven't gotten a ring yet."
I took off my grandmother's ring and gave it to him. "Let's worry about a ring after we get the house stuff taken care of."
He put my grandma's wedding ring on my left hand.
ME: "So, we're engaged?"
HIM: "Yep."
ME: "When do you want to get married?"
HIM: "Soon."
