Broke-Ass developments

juldeaNot like my whole life is entirely broke-ass, but just a couple of things I thought I'd share...
1) On the phone with my mother last night, she mentioned that my little sister's boyfriend got her a Ring. Yes, a Ring. Capital R and all. My sister is 19 and her boyfriend is either 20 or 21, I can't quite remember. He's younger than me, at any rate. Yeah, so they slept together 3 days after they met (um, mom didn't tell me this part, Deanna did, a while back) and have been living together this summer... That's still rather broke-ass. Mom reported that Deanna has been saying it will be a "really long engagement"... but still. I think they're going just a bit too fast. My views on the subject is that "really long engagements" can be scaled down and called "promises", and the time for the ring is the time when you're ready to do things like set a date and start calling caterers. Oh well.
2) Much less emotionally broke-ass, but confusing. Woke up, stepped on the scale - 151.5. Cool. Went to the bathroom, realized that I usually weigh myself after such an activity, stepped back on the scale. 152. ?????? How did I gain weight?? Very confusing. Ah well, still as low as it's been. :)
3) Cats got in a fight on my bed the other night. On me. Well, on my ankle. Come see the 3 deep, long, red-from-dried-blood scratches! Dumb cats.
Well, my dad arrives in a few hours, so I've gotta get showered and dressed and all to meet him. Hooray for days off school and work, by the way!
59 hours. *bounce*

on 4 Jul 2001 22:14 (UTC)The story of that is, when my father asked my maternal grandfather for permission to marry my mother, he said, "When the marriage starts, the money stops." That was the kind of guy my grandpa was ;) And I'm glad my father is following in his footsteps. I certainly don't expect to depend on them when I go to Boston.
As far as I know, my father doesn't know yet. Blake was going to get him alone tonight and tell him or ask him or whatever he thought would put him in a good light, but I don't know if it happened. Mom and Dad weren't separated tonight that much. I'm very happy to see them together. :)
I saw the ring, though, made Deanna show it off when no one else was around. It's simple and pretty, just a gold band with a round diamond... a bigger diamond then I was expecting from a 20 year old, though. Not huge, but visible. Deanna mentioned the size but I promptly forgot it. heh
I have no idea what I'm going to tell Adalius ;) But considering he's recovering from heart surgury at the moment (which you would know if you read the main mud board), I don't think he'll be hearing any time soon. He's on hiatus from the mud until he can sit up without pain. :( I hope he's well.

on 5 Jul 2001 06:51 (UTC)Yeah, Emily, Travis, and I were making jokes last night about me being the old maid of the family, at 21. How Deanna has made me a spinster. Heehee.
