Written Whispers

It’s here! It’s here! *grins like an idiot* They called yesterday and I swear last night was like the night before Christmas to a little kid. I couldn’t sleep with all the excitement and I woke up really early to prod my Hunny awake every few moments and ask if we could go yet.

I’m so happy. It’s so pretty. I mean it’s not the pretty’ness that counts but the symbolism- but still! It’s so pretty! :) The picture is from the Kay Jewelers site because true to a friend of mine’s word- taking a picture of ones ring is not an easy process. The shiny factor makes it near impossible to focus sooo… I just snagged a pic from the site. My stone is quite a bit darker and you can’t really tell how beautifully tiny and petite it is from that picture but it works nonetheless. :)

I’m so happy. Now when we go to the store and I flag down some lady to help us saying “Excuse me, my fiance’ needs help finding something…” I won’t be trying to hide my hand for fear they’ll see no ring on my hand and try to make a move on my Hunny. It also makes me feel like I’ve been claimed and that makes me so happy just like knowing he has a ring makes me happy because I’ve claimed him too.

Oh, I love him. Though, I did smack him in the store when he pointed out (laughing no less) that my hand was shaking just a tiny bit (it was cold!). Lol. Yes, I smacked his arm really hard. *evil but loving grin*

He’s laughing at me again. I should finish this post up and go smack him again. Out of love. Bye.

Hello all! I’ve had such a wonderful two days, it’s amazing.

Where did I leave off in last post? Hmm,… Oh, I think I remember. More good news- Hunny and I have decided to (finally) start telling people at work that we’re getting married. I’m so excited. I’ve wanted to openly shout it to the world for so long now.

So,…

The past two wonderful days while I await the resizing of my ring have been spent telling every single person I possibly can that I’m getting married! Very, very awesome. I feel like a glow bug if that makes any sense. One of the cooks I work with offered to help cook at the wedding and several of the ladies I work with pointed out how ‘not so secretive’ my little secret was. :D

Oh, I love my Hunny!

Today itself was awesome too but this is my first summer with the asthma and it was so insufferably humid. No one ever told me humidity would make it worse. There I was running around and trying to catch my breath- it was horrible. I tried walking down to the other restaurant thinking that a little ‘fresh’ air would do me good.

Nope.

I took one step outside and it was awful. The air felt so thick and it’s like I could feel my lungs seizing up. I wasn’t coughing or anything and I wasn’t really having the chest pains but I just couldn’t get any air into my lungs and sometimes it was like I couldn’t get it back out either. Very scary.

By the time I made it to the other place I felt so light headed and dizzy. I’m amazed I even made the walk back.

On a happy sad note my ring should be finished soon. It’ll still be a couple of days but heck I’ll take sooner over later on most days for most things. Afraid I don’t have much to write about writing right now, I just came back from work and it’s so impossibly hot. Me thinks I shall go take a nap.

Yes, we’ve finally bought them! *jumps up and down with joy*

Okay, we’ve been engaged for nearly two years now and I’ve known all along that we’d buy rings eventually when we had the money so I’ve been waiting patiently for my Hunny to mention it, all the while secretly drooling over online pictures of my dream rings like a teenager over bikini models. *grin* Anyways, so a couple of days ago he finally mentioned going out and looking at rings!

It made me so happy. I mean even though I really, really couldn’t hardly wait to go get my ring and have something to show people when I tell them “I’m getting married” so I don’t sound like the girls I knew in high school- the ones who were ‘always’ about to get married to their latest boyfriend whom they’d only been with about a week or two. Disgusting. I can’t stand girls like that who go from one guy to the next with that level of commitment. Anyway, as I was saying- even though I really didn’t want to wait I tried not to mention rings unless my Hunny did first. Why? Because I know he wants to do the man thing and be the one to provide for me without any prodding. Just like I want to do the girl thing and giggle like a maniac right now.

So, we planned an outing for today. Some bad stuff happened yesterday but Hunny took care of it telling the people this was a special day him and I and that he didn’t want anything to ruin it. I can’t help but feel pride over the way he takes are of things for me sometimes, it’s just so sweet. I would have stepped right into the problem to try and resolve it which would have led several thoughts, talks, and emotions that I really didn’t need to deal with today. Everything is just too happy for that kind of crap.

We went to city, down town first, and looked around only to find in dismay that my finger is about the size of a twelve year olds. So- we headed cautiously to the mall. Hunny had summed up the prices for all three rings together to come out just a little over $1000 and we weren’t looking forward to having to go to one of the big jewelry stores.

Okay, now before I tell you the next but I should probably explain something. I don’t like Diamonds. They’re common, expensive, overrated, and just not my thing. My favorite stones are Amethyst and Moon stone. Now, my Hunny, the uber sweetheart he is, wants to buy me the very best we can afford. We haven’t been arguing per se, more or less verbally poking each other on the subject but I’ve refused to allow him to buy me a Diamond or the most expensive thing we can afford. Finally my Hun relented a bit and told the lady when we got to the store that we were looking for Amethyst.

The lady, a really nice vibrant woman with blonde curls and gold rings adorning most of her fingers, explained to us that Amethyst while beautiful was a generally softer stone. I know a lot about gems but I didn’t know this so I asked her a lot of questions and then she showed me this absolutely stunning Sapphire ring!

It was perfect. Nice and tiny, dainty with a small stone and two even more tiny Diamonds on the side. Not enough to be overbearing in the slightest. It also had a thin band which made me really happy. Like I said I have very, very small fingers. Size 3 and a quarter to be precise. Then Hunny and I picked out two plain silver bands, one for me and and one for him. It was awesome. Neither of us thought it was going to be that quick and painless. I swear we weren’t in there for more fifteen minutes.

In total it cost us about $530.80, a very nice price compared to our estimate and the fact that yesterday- well, lets just say some money we’d been counting on having because naught but a figment. So, a very, very happy day. I promise to put pictures up as soon as my rings come back- they’re being resized right now because no shop will ever ‘make’ wedding rings in children’s sizes. :D

I’m so happy!

Even better news…

…wait. I think I’m going to make that a separate post. Why? Because I need to go run around the house screaming and giggling for a bit. I have a ring!!! *dances* And my Hunny has a ring too it’s so wonderful. I can hardly sit still right now. This morning while I was waiting for my Hun to get out of the shower so we could go I paced around the whole house with fantasies in my head and trying not to sing ‘too’ loud.

Today was awesome. For once in a great while I feel like I’ve really accomplished something. See, I spend a lot of time writing. I’m always in front of the laptop or a notebook or, hell, even a napkin will do. This isn’t a bad thing in fact it’s a dream come true but alas the fruits of the writing life do take awhile to ripen.

Usually when I’m home alone I spend most of my time writing, eating, reading, and playing with the cats. In between all that I spend my time surfing aimlessly on the net. Today though I really feel like I had the chance to get so much done.

I walked the cat and spent some time with him outside trying to hunt down the gophers. Then my cat child and I took some laundry next door to my soon to be mom-in-laws, him riding in the basket the whole way like some noble in the olden days. He visited with her kitty, Cocoa, for a bit before we came home- him riding in the empty basket all the way back.

Then I spent the next few minutes submitting one of my science exams- I’m in online school. Just 68 more exams to go our of 102, joy right? Lol. Then I spent about an hour or so online with my awesome buddy Branth while he ever so patiently helped me figure out how to do some of my math problems. Did I mention he’s awesome? Especially since I’m not the easiest person to bear with when it comes to math, even more so when I start to get frustrated. :) Thank you Branth.

And then I cleaned the house.

Did you know cleaning around cats is like cleaning around three year olds? It is. Trust me. There’s still a lot more to do but with Hunny and I both working all the time and unwilling to sacrifice my writing and his gaming time- well, there’s a lot to be done still.

So much done! So awesome!

Hunny came home. I had him check my math exam before I submitted it. 100% :) It didn’t help to bring my GPA up but that’s okay. Oh and I helped one of my friends who’s in the same program bring hers up a couple of points and get another 2 or 3 of her tests done and then I found out another friend of mine is about to move back. She’s on the plane right now!

It’s great to feel like I’m really accomplishing something for once instead of just sitting on my but day in and day out when I’m not working or writing.

By the way, more good news before I’m off to work on a writing exercise before I collapse (man am I tired!), I’m well over the 50,000 mark on my second draft of Other World.

Wish me words!
