I've been stressing over this wedding like crazy and I've got all the stress consequences to prove it. (Acne? Check. Skin disease that I'm apparently stuck with for life and chose to pop up now? Yep. Terrible sleep? Oh yeah.)
I'm trying not to lose track of the big picture. This wedding isn't just a big party, we're getting married that day. I'm going to be stuck with this kid for the rest of our lives.
Someone at work jokingly asked me who I was bringing to the office Christmas party (yeah, it's not even October and we're already talking about the Christmas party. Our parties are pretty rad and this year it will be at the JW downtown.).
I said, "I guess I'm bringing my boyfr---" and then I stopped and corrected myself.
"My husband. I'll be going with my husband."

Let's just say I don't feel like separating sentences right now
I have sunburn for the second time in my life and it sucks even worse than the first time as I am not 10 years old and have to work. At least I only have sunburn on my back, shoulders and knees unlike poor Nick whose face is red and peeling. I learned long ago that the first place I put sunscreen on is my face, especially on my nose and ears.
I've been sick for about a week now, just congested and gross and haven't been able to taste food for that entire terrible week. I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to ever taste food again (I had nightmares about tasteless Popeye's chicken and I cried a little) so I went into the bathroom with half a box of Puffs and emerged victorious!
Speaking of Puffs, how great is it to be a company that has become a household name. I almost typed Kleenex before realizing I bought Puffs (because the only Kleenex at Meijer were the ones with lotion which gross me out and don't have nice, pretty boxes (Great selling point, companies! You've got me down pat. I take these to work and I want to look stylish while I wipe my nose every five minutes.)) and I was thinking about proprietary eponyms. Kleenex, Jello, Google, Vaseline, Q-Tips, Frisbee, Band-Aid, Velcro, Thermos...even Hi-Lighter. It's very interesting how our language has absorbed brand names as actual words. Maybe I'm just watching too much Mad Men.
I took a break from wedding planning for a week or two because I was having dreams about it and stressing out. Now I'm just more overwhelmed because apparently invitations are to be sent out 8 weeks before the wedding (which is the last weekend in August and OMFG IT IS JULY ALREADY) and I keep having to explain to people that yes, I'm getting married, no he hasn't proposed. After 6 years, we knew we were going to do this, I don't need some hard consolidated mineral matter on my finger to know that it's happening. Also, Nick lost his job which means we will soon need a cheaper and less awesome place to live which makes me sad but means more wedding money which we seriously need because my parents have said in the past that they aren't paying for it because they paid for their wedding so I can pay for mine. Although my mom did offer to help out after I called to tell her Nick lost his job. And I might need that help after seeing the price of these places.
Have you ever planned a wedding by the way? I don't know why in the world people want to stretch these things out over 6 months or even over a year! I'm stressed out already and I only have to deal with this for 4 months. I talked to Nick about it and he got me to calm down and figure out priorities which immediately made me want to throw up but I'm getting things done, kids (while throwing up)! I'm not actually calling anyone (because it's almost 2am and I talk to people on the phone all day at work) but I've sent out emails and I have a few days off next week so hopefully I can get the hardest parts (ceremony and reception location) out of the way so I can think about food and food.
Oh and you asked why I chose October 23. The short story is, Nick and I both already had the day off. The long story is I wanted July or August but didn't realize that oh hey those are coming up soon and oh hey we don't have money that soon and Nick need a day he could get off of work (ha ha that was necessary). On my way to work a few weeks ago, I called him up and said, "What day do we have off in October? Let's do it then." He didn't realize I was serious and here we are.
Okay, this is getting long and I want to go watch another Mad Men before I hop in my oatmeal bath so I'll stop now.
I miss you guys. I'm sorry I don't call, work has been crazy and all I do is sleep and work. It's no excuse but there it is.

STD
Save the date, children.
October 23, 2010.
No, he didn't propose yet. Yes, we set a date with no "formal contract." Yes, I'm crazy. Yes, I'm planning it already.
I'll let you know when the big thing goes down (proposal, ring etc).
I just figured that if I'm going to get married by the end of the year, I should start planning.
(And I already know I'm getting married. A proposal isn't a surprise.)
I'm getting married for real. I'm more excited about this than I think I will be about the proposal.

#100
I recently was promoted at work and am now a supervisor. It means nothing except never speaking French again. Not really but mostly. I rarely speak French now but still get paid for it.
I decided that I cannot start a blog right now because I have no time, energy or willpower to keep something going like that.
Nick has agreed (and expressed on his own, to my parents earlier today) that it would be nice to be married by the end of the year. He has not bought the ring yet (or he is lying to me...hmm... (He stated that he won't buy it until right before the proposal because he thinks I'd find it/find out. (Also I think it's because he gets too excited with surprises and would probably want to propose the second he got the ring (This has happened with many a Christmas present. It's adorable but the kid doesn't understand Christmas magic.)))) but has said that he knows when and how the proposal will go down. So keep the rest of the year open, ladies!
Nick's little sister is pregnant. The one whose wedding I was in back in October 2008. I thought I'd be jealous when this happened or upset but when I found out, I was so incredibly happy (and still am). It's a baby! A baby that I can play with and spoil and babysit and take care of and then give back. I am so excited. Nick's family is so adorable, they immediately bought tons of baby clothes, accessories, books etc. This is the first baby in the family in a long time. Nick said we'll use this as a test drive. This baby will probably determine if our baby timeline is moved forward, moved back or stays where it is. I am very excited. This is also the closest I have been to a pregnancy (personal relationship- and geographical location -wise) since I starting being all baby crazy and super aware of my imminent family timeline. So this is a lesson for me too. Have I mentioned how excited I am?
It is 5:30 AM and I can hear birds waking up. I don't have to work until 3:30 this afternoon. I love working second shift.
I'll hopefully be back more often. We will see. Also, I owe you all a bunch of phone calls and birthday wishes. I'm sorry. Love you kids.

Blah-g
I do not know what I will blog about.
I am not interesting or particularly funny. All the blogs I read now are fashion, gossip, parenthood or wedding based. Or adorable pictures of animals to make me happy.
None of which I am any sort of expert on.
I was thinking of doing my Bible a Day and Qur'an a Day adventures on a real blog but Nick said it might just be weird and religion is always tense. And since that's more of a self-exploration than a sharing thing anyway, I agree with Nick.
So I don't know. It might just be a blog. And then we'll see how it goes. Nothing is going to start until I get a good name going anyway. I'm thinking of twisting Nick's last name into something awesome.
I just need a hobby. And since I can't craft and can barely bake but love writing, this seems perfect. It's an escape.

Did not get new position at NewJob. My supervisor was so nice about it and sent me encouraging emails.
Nick and I talked about realistic goals. He said I should start a blog. A real one. Which is something I've been thinking about doing for a while, I just thought it was silly.
So as soon as I think of a neat name and something to write about, I will be a blogger.

I've been in a super bad funk for about a week and a half. I thought it would go away once my period did but nope.
I'm just so tired of where I'm at. I applied for another position at work before Christmas and I still haven't heard back on it.
I'm so upset that I don't have the life I want to have. I'm irrationally angry about other people being engaged when I'm not. And I'm upset that I might not be married this year. For some reason.
There's really no reason for me to be this upset or depressed. I just am. I hope this goes away in a little bit because I'm seriously considering just going crazy and fixing it the easy way... by getting rid of NewJob. But in a state with an employment rate of almost 15%, I know it's a terrible, terrible idea. We've been pretty poor lately as it is.
I'll keep you posted.

For serious
Nick and I were talking about getting married this weekend and he mentioned that it probably won't happen this year.
For some reason I got really upset. If I don't get married this summer, I know I'm going to be disappointed. I'm already upset about it.
I decided I'm going to start planning. I'll get the costs all together and lay it out for him.
Did I tell you we looked at rings the other day? I fell in love with one but it was $2800. So then I was depressed for about a month.
This is happening. Weekend project.
P.S. Birthday month.

Cross-post...because I cannot write two separate posts
I just watched Return to Me and then played some Assassin's Creed. I now have the world's strongest yearning to go back to Italy. Seriously.
I think Italian will be my next language to learn. After I finish my current goals, of course.
Oh, here are my New Year's whatevers:
(Check out that underline, this is official, kids.)
Read the Bible (that I've had since third grade) and blah-g about it.
Read the Qur'an (that I received from the wonderful CAIR) and blah-g about it.
Find a church that I like (and actually go and check it out) at least once a month (current prospects: Fountain Street Church and Grand Rapids Friends).
Get married (ha ha).

Nick bought some wine to cook with because he has to make food for work tomorrow.
And of course I was all HEY WE SHOULD DRINK SOME since he already opened it.
It is cheap wine. It was eleven dollars. I like it/do not mind it. And the name is cute.
Nick does not like it.
So I am drinking it all. IT IS ALL MINE BWA HA HA.
Anyway it is this. I don't like wine and I think it is okay.
Drrrunk

Recent thoughts - duplicated for your enjoyment
I like the idea of Montreal (much like one enjoys the idea having a baby but not the pushing it out of your own vagina part or the human being inside me thing or much like one may love the idea of organizing a bookshelf by color but not actually having said bookshelf (I cannot find any book I am searching for. Surprise, surprise, I do not remember my books by color.)) but that whole French thing always turns me off. Gravy and cheese curds on French fries? I am there. Calling it poutine? Sorry, I'll pass. Maybe next time. With bacon. And a not French name. Losers.
I think I might have mentioned it before but this I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant show is insane. How the fuck do you not know you are pregnant? "Oh I had missed my period two months in a row but I just thought it was stress." "I had a craving for tacos but I just like tacos, you know?" "I thought I had to poop and then a baby was in the toilet." What the fuck, kids? And they never have any prenatal care but the baby is always fine. While people who take care of themselves have sick babies. Also, what sexually-active woman is not hyper-aware of every single thing that is going on with her body period-wise?
I am having more and more dreams that involve someone sending me back to France for some reason. And I'm not allowed to leave for some other strange reason. Like I lose my passport or I lose a piece of luggage and cannot leave until it is found. I suppose that is what I get for speaking French all day.
Speaking of...speaking French, I think I speak more French in my average work day than I ever did during my 8 years of studying it in school. Probably even more than I did in an average day in France. I really hate myself for not speaking more French while I was there but whatever. I went to Budapest, bitches. French didn't matter. Now I talk about having votre numero de reservation and combien des chambres voudriez-vous and sorry, you need a carte de credit and who doesn't have an adresse email these days? My dreams are just filled with more French.
My sister is studying in Innsbruck, Austria next year. For the whole year. My mom didn't want her to go for the entire year because she didn't want to pay for Notre Dame with my sister not even being in the country but somehow they got over that. Also, next year is the motherfucking bicentennial of Oktoberfest so my friend and I were already planning on going to Munich. She lived in Germany for a long time and knows people we can stay with for free. We would only have to pay for airfare and food/drink money. My sister and I are planning a European tour since we can handle most countries with my French and her German.
I need to learn to play an instrument. I am thinking something terribly hipster like a ukulele or organ. I've always wanted a hurdy gurdy.
I have no clue what to get anyone for Christmas. Personne, kids. Not even Nick. It is terrible. I know what Nick wants but I can't buy him a 400 dollar laptop/netbook or whatever. And I can think of things I would like for him but nothing he would actually like. You know how guys are. I can think of about twenty things I think he would like but he would just say "oh, thanks." And not really enjoy them because it's nothing he wants. You know? And of course if you ask him what he wants, he never knows.
Nick does many things to annoy the heck out of me because he thinks I'm cute when I'm mad. One of these is not putting the new toilet paper roll on the holder. He knows it drives me insane, so he doesn't do it. Every single time he does(n't do) it, I fake yell at him for it. It's what we do. It's our joke. Anyway, the other day, I was joking with him about it and he said he'll always do it. It's his thing, and it won't ever stop. And I said, "Just like it's never lupus." So today when I went to shout at him about it, he said, "It's never lupus."
I am torn about Monk ending this week. It jumped the shark years ago but it has always been one of my favorite shows. I almost have Nick hooked on it but I think it will be like West Wing, I will talk about it for years and he won't watch it until it's OFN and then he'll fall in love with it and talk about it like it's something new.
I read about the newest game from Team Ico and it looks like it's going to be only for the PS3. This may be the game that forces my hand into buying a stupid PS3. Damn you, Team Ico. DAMN YOU.
Nick's parents got us an electric fireplace for Christmas (and already gave it to us, obviously) and it is awesome. The smart cat has only slept on it once so far but their favorite thing seems to being going behind it for some reason. Silly cats. We totally tripped a breaker with it already too. Which was bound to happen since it's on the same plug with the xbox and the router and the modem and the TV and the cable box and the surround sound and the Wii.
I've typed for about an hour now so I think that more than makes up for my silence. I'm out, kids.
I love you all &c.

↑D8
At NewJob for the past two weeks, I was the acting Senior. A Senior is between the Team Lead (supervisor) and the underlings. They help out if something needs escalated or anyone has a question that needs answered. One of our two Seniors left our team for another shift and they needed a substitute to cover until someone new was hired in. And I was chosen.
It was nice because I got to be off the phones. And I help people out anyway. It was just a bonus thing.
NewJob posted a new position in another department that I'm going to apply for. Intentional vagueness just in case.
I was nauseated for 12 days straight and when I went to the doctor I was told I need to eat better. The end. Just glad that's over.
I am so excited for Thanksgiving, kids. So excited. We're doing Nick's family first then probably just paying a video game or two at my parent's house. Food.
It was nice because I got to be off the phones. And I help people out anyway. It was just a bonus thing.
NewJob posted a new position in another department that I'm going to apply for. Intentional vagueness just in case.

How I've been
Hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job hate my job which just makes me depressed and hate my life and the only time in my day that I actually enjoy spans about an hour and half after Nick picks me up from work and before he goes to bed.
I hate my job.
I hate my job.

The Future
Is it terrible of me to be disappointed that I won't be engaged within the next six to eight months?
I mean, we've been together for over 5 years. Come on already.
Is it okay to talk about a wedding and expect a proposal any day now?
But unless Nick's tricking me, it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Nick wants to go back to school and he wants that to happen before he proposes.
Because once again, he has this grand idea in his head that I want something I don't. This time he thinks I want an expensive engagement ring when I am perfectly happy with spending $125 or $150 or $200 or still $200. But no. He wants to get me a diamond ring or something equally gross and normal.
I am thinking of proposing to him. Just so I can get this party started already.

Life summary
Real quick.
Found a place to live that was awesome. It was great. The owner ran out of money and said it wouldn't be done until October. The property management company found us other places to stay in until it was done. 2 were really, really awful.
One was okay and I was all for it but Nick didn't like it. I just wanted a place to live. We looked at that place on Monday. That's when the property management guy told us that our dream place won't be done until the end of October. Maybe. But we really shouldn't hold out hope.
So that was that.
Then Nick was cruising Craigslist and I was drowning my sorrows in sleep. We found a place on Monroe Center, looked at it Friday at noon, loved it, told the guy then and there that we'd take it and now we have a place to live.
In other news, I am sick of this job. The other French girl on my team is leaving on August 21 so I will be the only French speaker after 10pm. I hate speaking French so hard.
And that's what my life's been like.

UGH
So our application was denied. For zero reason. It costs 140 dollars more than our old apartment and we're making double what we did back then.
But we still don't make enough somehow.
I don't want to look at any more places. I am so tired of this. We have less than a month to find a new place.
Ugh. I hate this so much.
