You are cordially invited...

I'm wearing an engagement ring today. It feels very strange to be wearing a ring on that particular finger because when I do wear rings (not very often), I always slip them onto the ring finger of my right hand. This ring is a beautiful diamond solitaire, which I chose over rubies and sapphires and emeralds... and it came at a good price...

The price of free! As you can tell, I was a little bored at work today, and a shipment of kiddie toys came in which I was unpacking. Amongst the sticky hands and helicopters were a tray of "birthstone rings," from which I selected this giant diamond and decided to propose to myself. We're very well suited for each other, you know - we seem to always know what the other is thinking and she and I laugh at the same jokes...

I think we'll be together forever. ;)

Hello Blogger

And hello extremely girlie layout. Come on, I know everyone harbours a secret love for pink. And probably a not so secret love for lingerie.

I've decided to move over here from Wordpress because Blogger is so much more customizable. I am actually able to edit my HTML and CSS code, and those are two things which I'm into learning more of at the moment. Especially CSS, which I currently know very little of. But I'm very excited to try more because of all the amazing things you can do with it! Now all I need are a couple uninteruppted afternoons to work on it...

Tonight I hosted my first dinner party. Okay, it wasn't that much of a soiree - we just had Geoff's mom and partner over for dinner - but it was exciting to ME because it was the first time I had actually cooked a meal for anyone with a kitchen table to sit at! And we had wine to drink in my new wine glasses, and it all felt so nice. I bbq'd some turkey burgers and jazzed them up with chipotle goat cheese, tomatoes and avocado pieces as well as a tasty salad. Yum.

Now I can safely say that I have had 2 glasses of wine to drink and my head is feeling a bit fuzzy and I'm suddenly feeling like it's time to pass out in bed (it is only 10:18PM currently so I think I'll tough it out a bit longer). It's funny how wine does that - I guess it's the depressant coming out - but it just seems like wine in particular to any other alcohol makes me feel fuzzy and content and sleepy.

I think I'm actually going to go have a hot shower. I really enjoy steaming hot showers. I don't know if that is weird, but I don't think that other people like showers as hot as I do. I like to gradually turn up the hot until the water feels almost cool because it's so hot. Does that make sense? No past/present boyfriends have ever liked to shower with me because I don't like regular warm showers. One even remarked once that my skin was all red after I got out of the shower because it was so hot. (Maybe I sadistically like 2nd degree burns? Haha.)

Now I just hope I won't fall asleep in the shower...
