Boys, just a warning, as soon as you utter the words “ring shopping,” don’t be surprised if your girlfriend skips about two dozen steps in her little brain and suddenly starts thinking, wow, a wedding dress with pockets would be rather practical, and I wonder if we should just live in the suburbs forever, and oh golly, we must get one of those yellow bike trailers for Little Penelope. For me, it’s been pretty easy to get wrapped up in the idea of married life as this week, Matt’s parents are out of town and we’re playing house. Oh, it’s so much fun. Tonight, I drove “home” from work, parked next to Matt’s car in the driveway, walked through the door to the aroma of bacon-wrapped pork loin, and ate dinner on the couch while watching the Food Network. Despite me being a bit headachey and fevery, it was glorious. Domestication, where have you been all my life?
Anyway, I was preparing a whole post on our ring shopping process, but I got distracted. Matt just poured me a glass of dessert wine. Cheers.
hiii. im grace lee. i’m ur sister carissa’s old friend. i think i’ve met you like once or twice through carissa back when we were in middle school/high school. i just wanted to say… for some reason even though i dont personally know you, i enjoy reading ur blog. i think about a week or two ago i came across your site through my friend lauren’s facebook during her bracelet contest. but aniwaise, i really enjoy reading your blog. i feel like im reading a book, or reading a journal of someone in sex in the city. hahaha. your style of writing is very intriguing and keeps me interested. your blog is kind of like a book i read… each blog is a new chapter. haha thanx for contributing to my entertainment!! continue writing great blogs =)
wee! michelle i got so excited and happy reading your last post about the ring shopping. i am happy for you, that your life is going well. =) but i wanted to comment on this post because oh my gawd how in love am i with that wedding dress with pockets?! i think dresses get exponentially more appealing when they have pockets.
anyway, thanks for sharing – i look forward to the post when you get the ring =D
Wow, that last comment was as long as the post.
I fail to see how my making dinner leads to your domestication.
matt sounds like a terrific housewife.
gotta love domestication. makes you feel all growed up and special :)
not too mention the fact that bling is on the way is a sure sign that you are officially an adult. or something.
Sounds like a lovely picture.:) Dessert wine is such a way to make a girl feel special.
Home alone (no parents), food coma, dessert wine = reenactment of you 2 @ Shark’s club in a booth alone 5 yrs ago lol! Nice.
i love playing house. we did that when matt’s mom was out of town, it was loverly. i love being domesticated sometimes, haha.
oh and um totally want that dress with pockets! pockets! i love pockets!
hahahahhaha you are so funny michelle!!!
I’ve been eyeing that dress for months and no one’s even thought about me while saying “ring shopping.” Am I scary?
WOW. I gotta try domestication someday. Not soon. ^^
It’s funny how often I jump between “I want a totally nomadic lifestyle” to “I want to be married and domestic as hell!”
