Someone's getting married...

...and it's me!

Mike proposed to me last Sunday, March 16th. Apparently he'd had the ring since January but wanted to wait until before I went to see my friends in Arizona (where I'm headed tomorrow). I could explain how he did it....or you can watch for yourselves in this convenient youtube clip. (I love how pretty much everything in my life has been recorded for posterity...ah growing up in the digital age)


And yes, he did call me a bitch at the end. It was a joke, we were at an improv show! Actually it was very sweet, because my mom and brother and a bunch of my close friends were there. I really appreciated them being there for the big moment.

Anyway, the wedding won't be for about 2 years, and no I have no other plans. I know who I want to be in it, but I've only told one of those people. I was sick monday and yesterday, so today is really the first day I'm getting around to getting the word out. And tomorrow I'll be in 80 degree weather enjoying the Grand Canyon, so it's now or never!

I gotta go pack, but some people have requested pictures of the ring close up, so here is the best one I have:


I'll post more soon, I swear! I've been extremely busy with runs and now engagements and vacations, but I'll post the presumably beautiful pictures from the AZ when I get back on tuesday.

YAY! I'm so excited for you guys. I finally got a new computer at home, and I just realized that you might have posted a picture on here. A video is even better! I'm glad I checked. Congrats to both of you.

OMG! I am so envious. There is a ring with my name on it at the moment...only, I don't want it. It is all very complicated, but we should talk soon!

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
