congratulations, ashley and paul! yesterday, paul asked ashley to be his wife! the whole story is here: http://www.css.tayloru.edu/~apeck/wws/ read it; it’s cute. i am so happy for them – they are the CUTEST.
sigh, to be young and engaged. the only milemarker i have left in my love life is kids, stretch marks, and fat thighs.
maybe i should talk about happier things…
seriously, i’ve noticed that my blogs tend to be pessimistic and sarcastic. that’s funny because that’s not who i am in real life. does it seem that way to anyone else? maybe this is my alter ego’s chance to escape. maybe it’s sick of the peppy cheery speak. and i can’t realistically be sarcastic in a kindergarten classroom, so it doesn’t get much escape. this must be my healthy, theraputic alternative.
did i use ‘alter ego’ correctly? it occurred to me that i’m not entirely sure of the meaning. that’s what happens to one’s mind when constantly surrounded by five-year-olds. and then going home to a nano-satellite-technology-obsessed husband who insists on explaining to me every detail on his new discoveries in attitude control (this is what keeps the satellite from careening out of control once in earth’s orbit). oh wow… some of it’s starting to sink in! so you see, my intellectual life is kinda unbalanced, which unbalances all other aspects of my life as well.
that’s my excuse and i’m sticking to it.
wow, did i drift off-subject or what.
CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY AND PAUL!!!!
Maybe you need an attitude control on your blog 🙂
thank you 🙂 i love you, girl!!! thanks for being an awesome friend! 😀
fat thighs aren’t all that bad.
alter ego was right, i think. i dunno. pessimism and sarcasm along with your upbeatness (yes that’s a word) and joy are what make you a well rounded individual. which is why i love you mostest. later kid

I was just googling around about this when I stumbled on your blog post. I’m just dropping by to say that I truly enjoyed seeing this post, it’s really clear and well written. Are you considering posting more on this? It appears like there’s more depth here for later posts.
