No, I'm not pregnant.

My mom is engaged! As in, getting married! To a really great gentleman who treats me like his own daughter. I'm so thrilled for her. I knew it was coming, but wasn't sure exactly when. I got a call from her Friday night as I was driving home to Cleveland.

I finally saw the ring this morning and it is gorgeous.

I am so happy. And I get to help plan a wedding that isn't my own. Hooray!

Congratulations, Mom. I am so happy for you and Don!

I Don't Have A Problem...I Can Quit Anytime I Want!

Oh lord, folks...I got a Blackberry this weekend! Add me to the legions of people who have gotten hooked. Seriously, I've had the thing for about 6 hours and I have barely put it down. I'm probably going to need to set some boundaries. Maybe a daily time limit or something.

It's so cute, though! It's a Curve. Dave says we should call it the Blackberry Gouge. He's a funny boy when it comes to our cell bill!

Its sweet, siren song has been calling to me for a few months. I rationalized getting it by explaining how it will help me stay connected now that I don't have internet at home during the week. Which translates to I need to be on Facebook and this blog after hours, so there!

Here's the transcript of a conversation Dave and I just had about the phone:

Dave: Does it have the pointer-thinger...the tick-tick-tick thing?

Me: No, it has the flick-flick-flick thing and the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch thing. No tick-tick-tick- tick though.

Dave: Oh, I thought you wanted a tick-tick-tick thinger.

Me: I don't need it.

I dare you to try to figure out what the heck we were talking about. We understood each other, but we both may be a little bit insane. A healthy level of insanity is required for marriage, right?

Right?!?

Hey, can someone let me out of this room? I don't like padded walls.

Here's Something Funny...My Commute!

This is my view, every day, going to and from work. Brake lights, bumper to bumper, as far as the eye can see. And this picture was taken on a rainy afternoon, which meant the pace was even slower. And yes, I was stopped when I took the photo.

Every day. Bumper to bumper. Columbus needs rail service or 3 more lanes on every highway in each direction.

Was That A Tumbleweed Rolling By?

I hate writer's block! It keeps me from waxing poetic on this blog. Rest assured I am trying to come up with some funny posts to keep you entertained. But, until my mind connects, it's just the sound of crickets around here.

Hey!

You!

In the corner!

I hear you snoring!!!
