i really just want to post some pics but i think this picture warrants some sort of explanation . that is paul and i in formal clothes. with a $400 vacuum between us which we like to call dyson (never loses suction. ever) believe it or not i (who my parents insists have a birthmark in an unfortunate place that dooms me to bad luck my entire life) finally won a prize in a raffle. and a rather nice one at that. well, technically, paul won it (this was at a formal dinner-dance thing at the college of business) since he purchased our tickets, but i was holding on to the winning ticket. now dyson and paul's dirt devil are both sitting in my living room, staring suspiciousl at each other. although dyson does it from inside its box since we can't even take it out of the box lest it decreases in value once we sell it on ebay. it's kind of ironic seeing a $400 vacuum sitting on a carpet that obviously hasn't been vacuumed for a while.
This is another picture from the formal. i just think i look cuter in this one that's why i posted it.also that weekend, paul ran a 5k at the college (which according to his classmates was to "cure" the boys and girls club of columbus. . . gets?) anyway, he did pretty well for someone who didn't really train much for it. he placed 50th in a pool of about 300 runners. i was mighty proud =)
next update is probably not obvious from this pic but apparently, i lost 4 lbs in the last 6 weeks. which makes it 6 lbs in
the last 3 months. not bad for someone who's not even trying. my doctor actually said this is the lightest i've been since i started seeing her, which was about a year ago. so yey for not dieting and not exercising!this weekend is our anniversary weekend! one year! can you imagine? typical though, that i have to work this weekend. again. for the third weekend in a row. bleagh. anyway, i'm making a scrapbook for him. which is not finished yet because, hey, i'm blogging. also, in case he's not too thrilled about that, i got him bruce springsteen's latest album and the one before, which if you know how terrified i was of bruce springsteen as a kid, seems like a very brave and sacrificial thing for me to have gotten him =) which is pretty good since i don't think sitting on my bum and ordering the cds in amazon hardly qualifies as a very demanding activity. this of course makes me anxious too about what he's getting me. i really don't want a repeat of the bill crosby debacle.
i think i stopped making sense five sentences ago. 'til next time then!
