As you can no doubt tell, it's been a LONG time since I've updated my LiveJournal. Not because I've been disinterested, but more due to technical difficulties. This of course means that I'd forgotten my password. Thank goodness I finally remembered it, because I have some pretty exciting news to share.
First though, did you vote today? Why not? Because you felt that due to all the potential - and likely - screw-ups, your vote probably wouldn't count, and even if it does, the electoral college can theoretically disregard your vote anyway, and vote for whomever they want? You're mighty cynical, aren't you?
My Grandma will celebrate her 80th birthday on Sunday. I bought her a card today, and on the front is a guy with "Father Time" written on his shirt. He's putting on a glove, and has his index finger sticking up. On the inside of the card is the phrase "Bend over." Now, the question is: Am I brave enough to send this card, or will my Grandma fail to see the humor in it?
Anyway, I'm getting sleepy now, so here's the news - Sheila and I got engaged this past weekend. It actually happened Midnight on Halloween morning, so we spent most of the day Sunday driving to our parents' houses to share the news with them. We're definitely very excited, and we're now trying to come up with a date for the wedding. Just thought you should know.
Before I go... Our random song lyrics of the week: "Why do birds sing so gay... And lovers await the break of day? Why do they fall in love?"
