#27~

The other day the mister and I went looking at wedding bands~amazing! I had seen one I thought he might like, and he did, but would prefer it all polished rather than the combo of brushed/polished gold. And after all this time of being told 'we have a band to match your ring' (we will be engaged 3 years tomorrow!) they finally were able to show me the band, and sure enough, it looks great! Now we are waiting to hear if his ring can be ordered in the way he wants it. Baby steps, baby steps!

#26~9/11

I remember the night before~there was a HUGE spider in my bedroom. I was unable to catch it (to return it outdoors) and decided to sleep on the couch. My daughter woke me up in the morning~yelling to me that her Dad had called and told her a plane had flown into a building in New York. We turned the TV on to see the horrific image of the second plane flying into the 2nd tower. Never in my life will I forget the sound of that plane or those images. My spider emergency didn't seem like such a big freaking deal anymore.

Wishing everyone a day of peaceful remembrance today...

I discovered the new, bigger version of my ring tonight when I took it in for a quick cleaning. Yowza! For a minute I considered asking what kind of a deal we could get if we wanted to upgrade! One great thing about my ring is that it doesn't have a high setting, and the bigger ring is certainly higher and would get in the way at work. Probably at play too! Really tho, I love my ring and we won't be trading up, at least not anytime soon, but it was tempting!

# 24~I'm back....

Conversation 3 weeks ago:

long engagement groom: just got a haircut (he was vacationing, visiting relatives, I was at home)

me: how short?

l.e.g.: I shaved it all off...

me: cool! I just cut my hair short too!

l.e.g.: what? why'd you do that? I was joking!

me: I'm not!!! hahahaha!!

So a month ago I cut my hair short, and today went a bit shorter and had red and almost platinum streaks added! (I was very, very platinum blonde as a child)

I love my new look! What do you think?

It's occurred to me that I'm no longer planning a wedding. I'm not blogging about weddings. I'm planning to sell some of the things I aquired for my now not-happening wedding. So I think it's time to retire this blog for awhile, and travel over to:

Hope to see you there!

# 21~in search of a music video...

So in the last month or so I saw a music video on one of the many blogs I frequent. Stupidly, I didn't save it anywhere, and can't remember who the artist was or the name of the song! My laptop has had an upgrade of some sort in the last week and somehow it's screwed up my history~so that's no help. So I'm hoping someone in blog-land can help me. The man played piano and sounded kinda like Ben Folds. He had dark framed glasses and brown hair. Not alot to go on I know!! Anyone???
