I’m saving the best for last…  ...
 This one's my favorite of the ring pictures.
 ...
 ...
 Judge for yourself: how are my new glasses?
 Alison titled this one... "Feeling OK." Isn't he just adorable? That bridal shop right by my house, the one I wasn’t going to shop at anyways but thought I should check out their website? Their website clearly states that the dresses they carry start at $2000. Oh, for the bridesmaids it starts at $200. Now I really won’t even cross the door of that place. That’s ridiculous.
I bought textbooks this morning. And they were expensive – only one of them was available used, and so I saved a whopping $3. OK, one of the others was available used, but it was a different edition, and I did that last semester and it wasn’t cool. So I coughed up the extra $20 for the new version. There went $280 in 3 minutes. Ouch! However, since I bought them all at the college bookstore, I can include them next year on my taxes. So I’ll get… about $50 back. Woo-hoo. Already, I’m going back to happier things, like staring at the shiny thing on my hand. Anyone have any cute ideas on how to ask I am slated to be the future Mrs. This post was going to go a different direction, but then digg threw a few more headlines at me, so it took a [perhaps] broader perspective. So the NYTimes published an article yesterday stating that 51% of women are now living without a spouse [link removed]. A male columnist at the Pioneer Press has a nice column today venting about this [link removed], which made me wonder if his perspective was unique or not. Originally, I was going to leave it at that, and ask for the male response to these two pieces. However, add in the following bits of news… in the UK, apparently 1 in 8 guys would trade in their girlfriend for the latest gadget (sorry, I tried to find the real study, but had no luck). Hmm. Maybe this could contribute to why more women are living without a spouse? Or perhaps the UK report that fewer men are taking on “trophy wives.” Now I know that these are UK studies and probably not the most scientific things ever, and widespread societal conclusions should not be drawn from them. But, first thoughts… what’s your reaction? I don’t think it’s actually possible for this day to get more boring. The work day, at least. I mean, it’s the first day of classes, so I logged on and did some work for my online class, but there’s not much I can really do without textbooks. Plus, nothing is due until next Friday. But I’m semi-organized for it. Getting the syllabus for my classes tonight and tomorrow morning should solidify that. It may sound like overkill, but if I’m going to take 3 classes and work full-time and still see my friends and boyfriend (all of which I’d like very much to accomplish, well, except the work part, but that’s really non-negotiable), I need to be organized. It was really cold outside this morning! The Today Show said it was-4* when I got up, and then before I left for work it was-5*. That’s not how that’s supposed to go. Now it’s apparently a balmy 11* outside, and sunny to boot. Of course, that’s just what Firefox tells me – I can’t actually verify this. I’m kinda excited for class tonight. It’s a new teacher, so that’ll be nice. And class is only 6-8:55, so I should get home at a decent hour (some schools have night classes 6-10, which is just hideous to think about). Really, now that I’ve gotten started, I just want to get all this basic required stuff out of the way so I can start on the “for real” stuff, you know, the graduate classes. Yesterday And then last night I did more cleaning at my house.  This was painful.
 Mostly because of this.
 But, the shelf
 all the way up to the ceiling
is clean. And that’s pretty good.
This article was linked to on Digg (so if you regularly read there, you’ve either read it already or probably weren’t interested) on photography. What caught my eye was this part at the beginning:
Since curiosity and wonderment are such closely related topics, I thought it was worth posting here. Not being a very curious person by nature, and also usually forgetting that it’s a way I’d like to personally grow… I wonder these things myself. Anyone have any answers?
I just bought something that I find completely disgusting and hate its commercials. For myself. And it was ridiculously overpriced (and overpackaged). You get one guess to find out what it is. Per comment, that is. Today, I’m a comment-whore.  It's just too much to deal with.
While reading a new blog today, I stumbled upon the author’s motto, and I loved it so much I needed to share it here.
I think that pretty much sums it up. Handy tip for remembering which word to use:
Clear as mud? Thought so. Add your handy tips to the comments. I know that |

if she will make my wedding dress for me?
. He asked me to marry him last night, and I said yes. It was cute and a surprise and no one else was there – exactly what I wanted. My ring is gorgeous too, but my camera is broken again, so I’ll have to post a picture later. But for now, I’m just going to revel in the joy of it all.
and I both had the day off, so we went shopping and tried on glasses at 
was quite upset that I cleaned instead of pet her all night.
, my brother-in-law, because he’s really hard to shop for and I got lazy.
