I am getting married!!! Can you believe it?! As you can garner from all of the exclamation points, I am pretty excited about this new engagement. I am probably more excited than my first engagement and on par excited with my second engagement. At this point (approximately one and a half weeks of engagementhood), I am feeling 95% sure that I will actually walk down the aisle this time. I leave 5% doubt, so in the rare chance that I call it off, I will have a cushion to fall back on.
My fiance and I have been dating for close to 3 months. I feel like we have known each other a lifetime. We’ve already seen breathtaking highs and several frightening lows (most of which have involved his choice of footwear). However, we have cleared up all of those issues. I know I have been a little negative about men in the past, but I have a good feeling about this one. We never, ever fight (except for that one time, but he totally didn’t mean it). Anyhow, here is the ring. Isn’t is unbelievably gorgeous??? I’m so lucky!
Engagement Ring
I’ve also made a big personal decision. I am ready for babies! For a long time, I felt really driven in my career and wasn’t so concerned about motherhood. Now, I’m really, super ready. I just graduated, work is kind of boring, and I hear the maternity vitamins make your hair super shiny. So I’ll probably start trying sooner rather than later, cause my hair has been looking pretty dull lately.
So that is the update. I’ll be blogging more frequently about my upcoming nuptials (I’m thinking little sharpie markers for the favors that say “make it permanent”…isn’t that ridiculously cute?!…so many plans, so little time). I’ll also be blogging about the status of my impregnation plan – sexy time!
Finally, I’m lying and not engaged or baby crazy (just in case that wasn’t blatantly obvious), I just didn’t have an excuse for being a bad blogger.
Anyone who knows me (even remotely) knows I can’t take care of a plant let alone another human being. Plus, I get the shakes just helping to plan my best friend’s wedding (what up, BFF!). I thought this small white lie was much more interesting than the truth (i.e. laziness + fanfrickingtastic = 0 blog posts). Great, now that we have that covered…I’ll be back to blogging on a normal schedule!

congrats
let me know how those maternity vitamins work out for you. the 9-6 life isn’t really my cup o’ tea either unfortunately babies scare the bejebus out of me. and a dc one bedroom english basement isn’t the ideal place to raise the chil’ens.

OMG, I just started reading your blog and that was hysterical!

Christ, even though I knew, deep down, that this was fake, I still gasped when I saw the picture. No more games from you.

Dude.
So had me. I was utterly confused as to how you were kidnapped and brainwashed but apparently I’m new enough that I was still totally taken in.
Nicely played.

Not going to lie, but when I saw ‘we’ve been dating for 3 months” I thought..probably should’ve left more than a 5% cushion. I don’t feel so bad knowing its fake.
When I become a wedding planner, I’m stealing the sharpie idea..sorry! Glad to have you back!!

I was thinking, who the hell is this pod person? I was about to unsubscribe from your blog feed because I simply can’t take another favorite blog going all wedding/baby, all the time. Great entry and while I do wish you happiness, the bitter single gal in me selfishly loves your sarcasm and honesty.

I almost just canceled my subscription to your blog. Now I am sure we are kindred spirits

Wow! I felt my heart race in fear for you. I did the same thing once, only it was for real. I certainly WISH it had been a joke. You are way smarter than I am! Congrats on your non-engagement and non-babyhood!!!
Confused // July 28, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
Holy crap, what happened! My hero of the commitment-phobe’s guide to “I love you” is writing this?!
Whew, don’t scare me like that!
Yes, you got me, I am not just confused, I am also extremely gullible. But glad to see I’m not the only one who fell for it

This is the first post I read on your blog, and you lied in it :-p
Perry // July 28, 2008 at 9:21 pm |
So, I totally believed that! I even was about to tell everyone before I read the whole thing through!!! Great joke!

I nearly shot you….for opting for an emerald instead of a diamond.

I was so confused, until that is when I got to the baby part. That was just a little too far fetched. Well played…

You really, truly had me going with this one. I was all, dude, she seemed so normal before. WHAT happened? Then I had to abandon the comment in my head by the time I got to the end. Well played, well played.

Someday…someday my dear… this will all be FOR REAL. You will get MARRIED. and have CHILDREN. And I will be there for it. Laughing. Waiting with open arms.
