I'm engaged!

With the whole dressed up deal, the nice dinner out, the surprise proposal, and the SWEET ring. Wow... Squee!

About 20 minutes ago, in an effort to go down stairs (see above) to take some pictures my mom needed, I fell down the stairs.

I stayed there for a few minutes trying to breathe and rubbing my (still) numb arm. Then I looked up and took a picture of my damn curious cat.



Only really interested in the noise I made and not the fact that I was crumpled at the bottom of the stairs possibly in need of medical attention. But at least she cared, my mom never came out of the kitchen.

I was just kissed three times by an Italian man. It was very awkward and not at all like I expected-- not that I was expecting to be kissed by a strange man at work-- but it was more lips and less cheek to cheek pressing than I always imagined.

P.s. speaking of kisses-- my mom just walked in while I was at work, handed me a candy bar, and then kissed me all big on the lips in front of a guest I was checking in.

It's an odd day.

Geoffrey dyed my hair this afternoon. It’s red!



It’s darker than I wanted. I like the red, but I wish it was more blonde-ish-y golden. Can I re-dye it real soon? Like… tomorrow? Will it get lighter? Any hair dying gals out there in the know?

I’m going to start investing. Anyone have any good advice other than a 401k, ‘cause that’s as far as I can go myself.

Today, at work, I spent hours...

catching up on my correspondence.

reading about succulents and ways to make my African violet bloom.

researching 3 foot long pink worms that smell like lilacs.

printing off sudoku puzzles and creating my own sudoku book ranging from easy puzzles to fucking-hell-go-eat-pudding puzzles.

After work I expected some serious yay-like family time, only to discover that the family was off having a life and I was left bored. as. dirt.

I miss my boyfriend.

I think I might have a slightly unhealthy obsession.

Whenever I get upset I buy a new plant. I can’t help it. I bought one when Geoff left for Singapore, and I just bought two more yesterday after I got hollered at by a psycho while I was at work. A psycho who was severely in need of drug induced coma-like help.



The pink and green leaves of my first little succulent.


The orange and pink flowers from my other new succulent.


And a tiny snail I found while I was outside potting these things. It was as big around as the “o” in “QUARTER DOLLAR” that’s stamped on the back of a quarter.
