how did i get so lucky?



...to have been selected to be the gal with the best-boyfriend-ever.
to feel so amazingly loved every single moment.
I came home today to a sweet surprise... [we went to the zoo a weekend or so ago, and visited the new 'nocturnal house' only to spend the most of our time staring at these adorable miniature owls...I couldn't stop watching them, and they us. all 15 of the little furby-looking precious things, with more cuteness than the name furby implies...] anyway, i came into my apartment today to find a little stuffed-animal baby owl just like the ones aaron and i saw there, along with a long-stemmed red rose. i named him 'poof'...but you have to whisper his name, and make chipmunck cheeks to adequately 'poof' out the squeaky little name. yes, i'm ridiculous.
thank you babe. :)

the more we get together, the happier we'll be.

so, I pierced my foot. I say, pierced, because that is what you do when you put a hole through something, no? We have these little green 'guns' at work that we use for attaching tags to clothing via those little clear plastic things, you know what i'm talking about. They have about a 2 inch long sharp pointy 'needle' which i clumsily knocked off of the countertop straight onto the top of my foot. there was more blood than i expected, and a hole that is STILL there. I've worn closed-toed shoes in labs for four years and never once has it 'come in handy', and here working in retail, i should have err'ed on the side of caution. Work has been fun this week, I stayed BUSY for most of my shifts. I worked 13 hours this weekend, i think...I priced a lot of new cute stuff, helped several ladies pick out entire 'outfits' (they really did look cute), and we had a rep come by with a whole new line - and i got to 'model' a bit and even throw in my opinion.

I went to my second-ever hockey game last night...college hockey can be brutal. I saw more fights than I did when I went to cheer on the Stars. Trae is playing for BU Club Hockey, the reason for my new interest. The game was down in college station...there were a grand total of 8 Baylor fans there...5 of those being for Trae. They had some folks down and out, so he didn't get to play as much as he'd hoped. He did get to START though, how cool is that? However, Not cool that we missed those first 30 minutes of the game. We did get in a nice freebird burrito afterwards...yet, it is still no BAHA in my book. I would be willing partner-up with anyone interested and open up a BAHA franchise nearby just to taste that yummy goodness once again. oh, and Poker was played again...fun was had. i had an unlucky night. carly won her first game. :)

and if you need a good pick-me-up, I owe Aaron for sharing this laugh: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/daker.html

i'm in the market for jeans. as it were. why does every place have to suck this season. why do all my jeans have giant holes and have to hang down a mile in the butt space, it's not like i'm 'lacking' in that region. Aaron and I traveled the world far and wide today in search of perfection, but within these city limits-- i am not quite satiable. i am honestly considering just making a special trip outta town JUST for a pair of good denim.

don't you just love the weather? c'est parfait.

Should my hair :
(a) stay the same
(b) cut 5-6 inches
(c) return to my blonde roots

in a less serious note, I just ordered 2 donald miller books and a KAPLAN GRE book online. dirt cheap...so, I'm really doing this. I've picked a new road, and will begin my travels. I can search schools, print applications, and order practice books all day...but the pressure has been applied, and its time to actually physically make the first steps necessary in this somewhat-sudden, new venture for me. I mean, honestly, graduation is in a little over two months, jae. So, next fall, I could be...in oklahoma, in chicago, in north carolina, in new york, or godforbid somewhere in the midwest. well, i guess the 'godforbid' part should be ''still stuck in waco waiting tables'' or something. But, at least with all best-intentions Aaron and I will be relocating together. we have to. whatever sacrifices must be made. . . . I wish I would hear back from places sooner than mid-spring. I wish I would be able to answer people's questions at graduation when they ask where-next?...instead of being one who can't. at least i have a plan, right? God's got a plan.

give them a knight they'll remember.



I think I held off posting because I had nothing to post. I'm bad at beginnings.
Ok. the weekend.
The greatest-love-of-my-life turned over into his twenty-third year. Its a thrilling feeling to be so incredibly excited about someone else's birthday...its like i get two a year, rather than just one.
Aaron is quite a fan of all things medieval. He lies somewhere in between those renaissance festival geeks and maybe a monty python fan. I don't know if that's a good spectrum, i just wanted to clarify that he wasn't part of 'geek fest 03' (<--i have pictures if you don't understand what i mean). Anywho, so we decided to celebrate at Medieval Times in Dallas. They "transport you back to a time where chivalry still reigns, battles of the joust are still held, and you are treated as one of the noblest lords and ladies." I was not expecting to have so much fun...but, it was a blast! They have this medieval feast where your hands are your only utensils and you munch away barbarically on giant hens. They seat you in colored sections which corresponds to your "knight". We were rooting for the BLUE. They have a series of actual horses doing tricks, then they show off their knightly skills with a bunch of contests... our knight even threw me a flower when he won. :) and then the real tournament begins when the individual knights defend their honor to the king -- swordfighting and jousting... it really could be quite dangerous. They would use some scary weapons, and their swords would spark upon contact they swung them so hard! Anyway, so you are supposed to cheer for your team--- we yelled SO hard for blue, we ended up with hoarse voices and sore throats. the loud drunk hippie seated next to aaron helped with our volume. It was SO much fun. We even toured the medieval torture chamber... saw 'the breast ripper', the judas cradle (basically your butt is lowered slowly onto a blunt pyramid, slowly), the head crusher, and then one where they hang you upside-down, keeping your brain oxygenated so that you can feel everything that is happening to you...then they start to saw you in half between your legs)...ok, thats enough of those. it was one of those experiences where you shuddered and frowned every 30 seconds.
at the risk of having 'too-much' fun, we went and played miniature golf (quasi-legitimately tied) and then went out for drinks and cheesecake before heading back. ...and for those of you who like your book with a few pictures
We spent the next day at the zoo...if you haven't been since they added on the "brazos country" or something area, you should check it out. Its the best whole afternoon entertainment for $5 bucks.
I even played suzy-homemaker for an hour or two, and made him a 'birthday-pie'...his favorite is pecan-pie, sans pecans, so basically just a forkful of sugar. BUT, nonetheless, i got the recipe from this family and he seemed to enjoy it. He has really been getting into blues lately and mentioning records and whatnot, so I ordered him a vintage-"looking" record player (with the workings, thankfully, of a brand new one)...its in a leathery looking suitcase thing, with speakers included. I even threw in some B.B. King, Billie Holiday, and Al Hibbler albums. I told him I could just picture him waltzing around the apt with his eyes closed wearing a robe and smoking a cigar.
There's more, but I think I've been typing to long, and even I am starting to lose interest. I will pat myself on the back for the completion of memory exercise number one.
I'm off to Trae's, he's making me dinner. (aw)
