We’re suppose to get more snow tomorrow - 6-12 inches, and then another storm on Thursday!  I wish Barny was here for all of this snow - he arrives on Sunday.

It seems the older I get, the earlier I like going to bed.  I would ideally like to be awake at all hours when the sun is up.  So if the sun is up at 6am, I would like to, too.  Last night, I went to bed about 10:30, and meant to set my alarm for 8ish, because that way I wouldn’t get too much sleep.  I forgot, and stayed in bed until 9:30.

I have a lot going on in my mind - wedding planning, Barny coming to visit, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dan coming to visit at the same time, dad losing his job, me graduating with my Master’s and needing a new job…. there’s too much going on that It would just take forever to talk about it.  And so, I just write nonsense that you won’t enjoy reading.

Maybe I’ll be able to have the strength to write about at a later date, but it’s 10:25, and I’m ready for bed.

Well, I’ve been fairly rubbish at updating my blog.  Not quite as bad as Megan - but almost.

I do have some big news - I am getting married!

I’m marrying Barnaby Peter Lanman.  He is a wonderful, hilarious, kind, darling person.  He cooks dinner, and I do the dishes; we sit quietly together while he plays video games and I read; and I scrub his back, and he scrubs mine.  We make a perfect pair.

We have been dating about seven months, but knew within a month that we were going to marry.  I’m not sure exactly how, but we just knew.  When I arrived home, I told my parents, and a few weeks later, I even told my uncle Dan, aunt Michele, and friends Dan and Beth who I visited in Ohio.  ”I have found the guy I’m going to marry,”  I told them in late August.  Nearly a month after meeting Barny for the first time.

We’re already applied for his Fiance Visa, and we’re hoping it will be approved by May.  We’re planning on having a British wedding celebration on 6/6/10, and a proper wedding ceremony in America on 8/8/10.  He proposed on 1/1/10, by drawing me a little comic book.

The book described things we had done during the Christmas and New Years holiday, and ended with this page.  When I got to it, Barny got down on one knee in real life, and produced my ring.  My speech bubble was left blank, and I had to fill in my answer.

Barny and I are both ecstatic, and can’t wait until we can finally live in the same country!

Gary Oldman (Sirius Black in HP) is on his fourth wife.  Every time he gets married, his wives get younger and younger.

Wife # 1 - Leslie Manville (87-90)  born in 1956.

Wife # 2 - Uma Therman (90-92) born in 1970

Wife #3 - Donya Fiorentino (97-01) born in 1967

Wife #4 - Alexandra Edenborough -(08-present)  born in 1977

#3 is a bit off, at three years older than wife #2.

Anywho - not that this has anything to do with me, I just found it interesting.

If it was me, I think I would say, “You’ve been married HOW many times?”  And I probably wouldn’t continue to date them.  Much less marry them, thinking “Well, maybe I’ll be different than the other three.”  Yeah, right.   I’m one to think that marriage is for life.  And you should work at it - and you can’t just say, “Right, well, this isn’t working.  See ya!”

But is expecting to be married only once suddenly old fashioned?

We heard you were feeling a little…..

And walk places, don’t drive!

This one is by far my favorite.  I mean, what the hell IS that thing?  It’s seriously like a plate on a headband.  The sad thing is that it costs 20 pounds, and the hat hats cost 50!

I wanted to talk about this again, cause I think Gravatars are awesome.  You should all get one.

I just recently learned about a Gravatar.  No, it is not an awesome monster/alien hybrid or anything cool like that… it is a Globally Recognized Avatar!!!

I had always wondered why I left comments on blogs, and I just showed up as this stupid little shadow, but other people had pictures!  I didn’t know why…. but, thanks to Roni’s Weigh blog that I read daily, I now know that I just needed a Gravatar!!!!  So I went to their site, and I got one.  I’m very excited because now when I leave a comment on someone’s page, they will see a cute little picture of me.

And so, go to the site so when you leave me comments, I can see your cute little mug, too!!!

This photograph shows everything that I want in life.  That’s it.  That’s all I want.

I am currently on some park in Boston sitting against a tree reading a book. It is quite glorious and a beautiful day.
I got into Boston a tad later than expected and when I looked at the train schedule my two options were 1:20 or 4:40.  Steve offered to drive me home at 5 when he got out of work, but I didn’t want to wait that long. Now that I know the train leaves only 20 minutes before, I think I’m going to take him up on his offer! It will save me $8, and it will be nice to catch up.  But more importantly, I’ll save $8.  Heh.

Megan bought our tickets to Brussels! £29.50 ($42) each.
