i received the most BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers today! what a pleasant surprise to come home to! seriously, they are some of the most beautiful flowers i have ever seen. happiness! the only thing that could have possibly made it more special was to receive them in person. ::sighs:: perhaps next time. it was still wonderful. i knew if anyone would be capable of making an anniversary special from 250 miles and one state away, it would be him. ::smiles:: i am very lucky.
so, not seeing each other for a few weeks at a time is rough. i miss him a ridiculous amount. but i try not to tell him as often as i think it. there's no point in either of us feeling worse about it. i know he would be here if he could, and the same goes for me. he knows that. if i could graduate tomorrow, (or in five weeks... i've looked into it, it's just not possible-- short of transferring, which obviously is a bit extreme) i would be there. because there's nothing better than going out to dinner, relaxing, watching tv, playing scrabble (did i say playing? i meant losing), or doing anything, than doing it with him. it's the little things that are the easiest to miss.
but i'm happy to be able to see him for formal. and then the week after for thanksgiving. and then the week after that for my birthday. and then the week after for winter break. those will be happy weeks. and then everyday for a few weeks. i'm very much looking forward to that... like you wouldn't have guessed, right?
in other news... i am well on my way to having a resume. not a good one, mind you, just having one period. i've already contracted out joe for winter break to design me a graphically fabulous one. and then perhaps one day someone will hire me. and hire me for something fabulous. $70,000 a year to start and a four-day work week... i know, i know... it's a long shot. but hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
speaking of this girl dreaming and fabulousness... this girl was designing her ideal engagement ring online today (you know you want to do it, too...
http://www.diamond.com). and it's fabulous. it's also $21,077. but this is IDEAL. and that's only two karats. princess solitaire in platinum. mmmm.... did you know the difference between a one karat and a two is about $15,000? you learn something new everyday... just not so much in my classes, really...
