The Power of the Ring...

Don’t forget your engagement ring at home... ever... especially if you're a girl, and you’re going to be in public at any point during said day. DO NOT DO IT!

So yesterday, well it was a hectic day. I had an early Dr.'s Appointment in Arlington, puppies that needed to go outside, and I should have left the house 20 minutes ago. I rushed through getting breakfast packed up, hurried the dogs outside, and then ran out the door to get to my appointment on time.

----> Side note: if you have dogs and live in an apartment, taking them outside has got to be the most inconvenient thing on the planet. I love my little demons (Maverick and Goose -- that’s right Top Gun Fan's, I got you) but they always want to dilly dally and unfortunately I have left no margin for error and my poor puppies are probably angry with me because I won’t let them sniff the grass or bark at that elderly woman's terrier...

ANWAYS, so i rush off to this appointment, which unbeknownst to me is in a hospital... and of course I have to maneuver through this crazy parking garage, to amazingly make it into the correct building and then ride the elevator till I can figure out which door is the right door.

I make it into the office with 2 minutes to spare... plop down on one of the couches to wait for my name to be called... and then I see it... the bare nakedness that is my left ring finger. Panic immediately sets in... and then I realize I have done the one thing an engaged woman should ever do... I left my ring on the bathroom counter. I am a blasphemer, a traitor to the engaged kind... dang it.

So of course my Dr. wants to see this ring, and i have to jerk my hand away in embarrassment as I tell her... i forgot it. The all-day my poor nakey finger was sad and lonely.

Yea, it's Yellow... No Big Deal!

 

Now it is back in its proper place, taking up space on my left ringer finger, like it should be.
Who knew that a ring could cause such a rukus.

First Day of School...

Well it's UT Arlington's First Day of School... UT Tyler started on Monday. So i'm looking at this as my "honorary" first day. It's amazing how campus can go from dead to hoppin in 2.5 seconds. Thank God for Staff staus... makes my parking journey so much better. :)

Well I'm starting over on my blog journey, making way for my new improved life. Here goes:

My Fiance, Eddie, and I moved to the DFW in March of this year. For me, it's home. For Eddie... its HUGE. Eddie's from Indiana. But there will be more of him and his story later. Dallas has been FULL of surpises... new jobs, new apartment, engagement, and soon to be wedding. It seems with our move to Dallas, our lives have shifted from college meandering to Adulthood.



If it were just a year ago, today would be my first day of school, which would have been my #1 priority. Now, its just another at the office, I am a Development Assistant in the College of Liberal Arts. Which is a glorfied way of saying I'm a Secretary. But not for long, I needed a full time job to pay the bills for our up coming nuptuals.

School is knocked to second place, and then comes the all important WEDDING... DUN DUN DUN... I'm sure there will be lots to say about that... as it is already a soul sucking life force all on its own. :)

It's just interesting to me how much your life can change in just one short year, 52 weeks, 365 days... a lifetime of changes fit into such a small amount of time. This blog... its going to focus and showcase those changes... full time work woes, school frustrations, and wedding drama. I can't wait to share it all, and help my poor ragged brain get a little release!

Until next time,
