My camera came home! Along with all the installation stuff for my new electronic organiser. I have to learn not to leave expensive electronic equipment at my dad's house, things tend to get swallowed up into the quagmire of mess there and my poor camera has been missing since October. But it is back!

Also it is dead. I don't know what's up with it, I hope it's just a flat battery, but it won't connect to my computer. I'm determined to get it fixed before Chicago though, I can antcipate many photos!

Right. Time to make an apple meringue pie (we have no lemons) and see how my gnocchi is doing. Blog thread, I'm happy. I'm fairly consistently happy at the moment and I'm supicious of it because normally I'm up and down like a yo-yo but perhaps I am becoming a grown up. This is a terrifying prospect.

Same here... hadn't seen my grandfather in 10 years and finally got my citizenship/passport 2 weeks after his funeral. That was 7 years ago and I still feel shitty bout it.

On a completely different note, I just put a deposit on an engagement ring! Now I need all of your help thinking of a good cheesy way to propose (extra cheese factor: doing it on valentine's day)

I think I said this before but: My stepdad wasn't told that his uncle was dying until after he had died. It was his uncle who sent him a check every month to make sure that he made it through college. Then, when my stepdad tried to pay him back years later when he was financially stable, his uncle refused, saying something along the lines of "just you making it though school is enough for me." My stepdad's mom didn't tell him because "she didn't want to worry him."

He about told her that he didn't ever want to see her again after that.

Dear Nobo,

What is you and your girlfriend's favorite place? Somewhere where either the place means something to your relationship or a place you frequent because you like it so much. It's always a good idea to do that, and depending on the place will let you be there after close so it's just you two.

My friend wants to propose to his girlfriend by getting all their mutual friends together (they are pretty much all musicians), getting the friends to play "their song" and then propose.

Then there's always the hanging around your house one night and just doing it right there.

Dear Nobo,

We were discussing this just the other day. How to propose on Valentine's day.

this is what we came up with...it is not for the feint of heart.

Pretend that you forgot about Valentine's Day. Wake up in the morning and just go on. Don't let on that you know it is that day. If she gets you something, act confused. Continue the day like this, no matter what.  Then, around 6, tell her you want food and go to the local fast food place of your choice and order food. Come home, eat. As your eating or after, look at her and say. "Oh there is something I forgot today!" Then get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.  We thought it was cute.

Another cool way, the way my husband did it. Do a scavenger hunt. Think of cool little places that mean stuff to you and her. Then leave messages in that spot. The best way to do this is leave before she awakes or dont have any contact with her. Just send her a text to start the hunt.  At the end of the hunt, have something nice planned and be there with the ring.
