I haven't blogged in a while and Mackenzie is dying for a new post, so here it is. The end. jk. See, all those times that you didn't update, and I was wanting a new post and you were taking forever!
What's new...wearing my awesome new rain boots because it was supposed to be raining and windy, but it is almost clear outside and not supposed to rain later. Bah! I was all prepared too.
I have vacation tomorrow! Big plan is to get a hair cut.
Hmmm, not much else, going to give the big reveal to my family at Thanksgiving and they will be happy.
Saw Harry Potter, loved it! There was a really funny scene where they changed into middle aged Muggles. Hilarious. Now looking forward to Tron and I want to see the Black Swan. I'm sure there are a few more to see...

2:30...how sick!
I woke up at 2 am. Was still wide awake so I just got up at 2:30am. I got ready for work and watched a lot of Rock of Love. How sick! I'm going to crash and burn soon!
Yesterday, I was working out at the apt. and I hear the door bell. Mari was at the door! What??? She came back from Tahoe early. I let her in and told her I'm almost done working out. When I was done, I see Mack, Mari and the grandparents hanging out. Then they left. Mack and I went to get sandwiches and it was most excellent. I passed out super early. I will try to hang on at work...

All I want for Christmas...
I have that song stuck in my head because of chorus. Oh well, could be worse.
Chorus was fun last night. Got lots of attention with the ring. yay! Had fun singing. Here are some inspiring quotes from Steven Wright that was forwarded to me today:

A FEW WORDS FROM THE VISIONARY STEVEN WRIGHT:
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.
Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.
Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.
I intend to live forever - so far, so good.
Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.
Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!
Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.
The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is
research.
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
Change is inevitable. . ..except from vending machines.
A fool and his money are soon partying.
Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.
Drugs may lead to nowhere, but at least it's the scenic route.
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back.
Half the people you know are below average.
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
I'm tired, hungry. Food time? Almost.

Tahoe Weekend
Was a good weekend.
Friday: got a pedicure. Showed off my ring to my nail guy. He said I looked very happy. I was. Ring, Friday, and Tahoe weekend, plus getting massaged took me over the top of happy. Worked out, and slept in.
Saturday: worked out, got packed, Mari and grandparents came over. Showed them the ring, they were happy. Went to lunch at a sushi place. Mari bought a ton of water for Tahoe. Drove to Tahoe. Got to the resort and it was nice. Relaxed a bit and went to casino for dinner at Hard Rock. I got a really good Long Island iced tea. Hit up the nickle slots, where I lost $20 but Mack gained $20 so we broke even. I had a good time gambling next to my future inlaws. Grandpa was sleeping instead of coming out. Mack and I headed back at 10. Went to sleep. Mari and grandma came back around 2, now whether that was the new or old time, we don't know. They argued about when exactly they came back.
Sunday: went to brunch. Had french toast, was raining out. Took pictures and took off. It snowed on the way out, it was so pretty. We saw three seasons this weekend. Summer in Folsom, Fall coming up with some trees in color, and winter coming back, then back to Fall since it was raining in Folsom. Mack and I did Tae Bo, it was hardcore, but fun to do it together. I did laundry, glad for that extra hour. Watched tv. Went to bed. Now at work, but glad I only work Monday Tuesday and Wednesday this week. :)
Singing tonight. No plans until Sat, go into SF, stay the night then run in the morning with a friend for a 5k. Hope it doesn't rain! At least I can relax Thursday and Friday.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving when we can eat and tell the parents about the engagement!

Engaged!!!
Ok, I need to admit something, to those who read my blog...
I didn't post a lot because I wanted to post about my getting an engagement ring and getting a proposal.
Mackenzie and I are engaged!!!
Ok, let's start earlier this month...
On 10-10-10, Mackenzie and I went to the Shane Co. in Roseville (across from the Automall-we know this because we were brainwashed by those Shane Co. commercials on the radio. In fact, the people there asked where we heard of Shane Co. and we told them it was the radio commercials and they nodded and smiled and told us most people say they heard from them by the radio-we also heard great things about them.
When we got into the store, we were amazed at how nice the place was. We were nervous. I stepped up and told them we are there for an engagement ring. I had to say it because Mackenzie CHOKED. He might tell you otherwise, but that's my side of the story. But, when the man brought out the lady and she asked us what we were shopping for, Mack was the one who told her we were looking for an engagement ring. I was so overwhelmed when she asked me what shape of diamond I wanted. I told her I didn't know, then started to look at bands, and kept saying, I have no idea what I like. Then, I told her I knew what I didn't like. That was a start. Then, I told her, I wanted a round diamond. I was warming up to the bands. I started to notice a few I liked. One was just so beautiful that I couldn't keep my eyes off it. It had nice side detail. I had a winner. I looked at all the bands, and didn't like how I could see all that metal in a ring I looked at. That was funny, that statement will be remembered. I liked the bling ones. My ring is very sparkly with lots of diamonds. It even glows blue in black lights. It cost Mack a pretty penny. We got educated in diamonds and it was so fun to look at the diamonds through the magnifying glass. It was a very good day. :)
Flash forward to last night. Now, we both had no intention for last night to be the special night. Mack and I were talking about Thanksgiving and how we should announce we were engaged at that time with the family. I started to talk about some ideas and Mack told me to stop, since it should be a surprise. I could tell Mack was stressed, so I finally got up and looked for the ring. I was like, where is it? Mack said, ok let's do this. He said I have a gift for you and you can look around the apt. and find it. It didn't take me long time find. The bag was in his closet. He got down on one knee and asked if I will marry him. Yes, and he put it on me. I was excited, and danced around. Mack was feeling better about that being "over with". Now we can tell his parents and grandparents when we go to Tahoe this weekend!
Mack and I went to Santa Cruz a few weekends ago, and he told his mom that he bought me a ring. I was in bed at this p0int. His mom got upset and asked him why he didn't get a ring from Tiffany. She used to work there and we think she got brainwashed into thinking they have the best rings. After awhile, she calmed down and told him she was happy for us. She's funny.
Ok, just excited today. Woo!
