Things to Tell Touz

TOUZ!

Andy proposed!!

We're engaged!!!!!

Andy gave me an early Christmas surprise. Dinner at the Olive Garden. He also bought me a couple more things. *scowls*

I'm working Monday from 9:30-2:30, so only 5 hours, YAY! We're going to be so frickin' busy...I really don't want to work it...but I need to to get SOME money. Uncle Mike and Aunt Liz are having everyone over around 4:30....so I just need to know Andy's family's plans. Depending on what time they're doing it...I dunno if I'll make it to Mike and Liz's. Hmmm... I don't know, cos I'd feel bad showing up after all that and being the only one left...ya know? And I don't want to hold them up.
All I know for sure is I'll be sleeping over there. I don't care if the inital reasons have changed. I want to sleep in his arms.

I bought Andy a Christmas card. I don't usually do that, but I saw this one...and just had to get it cos it's us. It really is. "Our Song" by Taylor Swift is also us. We both listened to it and thought of each other. Andy just told me that today. I was all "awwwwwwww" cos I had the same thought the first time I heard it.

Night night and Merry Christmas Touz

HI TOUZLE! I am so wanting to move down there, like, last week. It's nice and white and pretty and all, but it's also SO COLD. I dunno. Read on....

I'm done shopping for Andy. He, on the other hand, seems to think now's the time to REALLY get the stuff. He's already spent over $600 on me (I gave him a $500 limit), and still says he needs more. Sigh. I'm flattered, but a little flustered as well. He laughs when he tells me about different prices. Appearantly my face betrays my thoughts of "I'm going to kill him." to "Awww, he loves me that much" and then "Oh My God...he spent HOW MUCH?!"

The plan for Christmas Eve is Midnight Service with Andy and his family, then spending the night at their place, which would be nice, to be honest. Especially since I'd just be going between the two houses anyway on Christmas, lol. Doing that would be MUCH easier on the gas tank than church with them, home, then to Andy's and then back home on Christmas day....and that's if we're not going anywhere else.

It looks like I'll have an "official" engagement by summer time. *squee* According to Andy....he's already started making payments on the engagement ring. He claims that he should be finished paying it off by the end of March. I'm kind of in between super-excited and not getting my hopes up in case of circumstances and stuff.

In other news....the politicians have started disrupting my daily plans. Clinton and Edwards were in Davenport today, blocking off the fastest route to Andy's house. Sigh. When will all this be over??? *whines*

lol, Touzypie, I just had to share this with you. Cos...well, the blame/credit for my Twilight obsession is on you. Anyway, I checked out Stephanie Meyer's website, and she said that when she was writing Edward, she pictured him as Henry Cavill.

That had me FLOORED. Then I laughed so hard!

Henry Cavill was the guy I pictured when I was writing Nikolai Vannacutt (remember him? My old RP charrie?)! lol! and now I can't help laughing at the idea of Nikolai as a vampire. It's just too funny, and he's nowhere as sweet as Edward is. Edward's a catch, Nik's just...lol, someone I would never want to marry.

nik_vannacutt < See? lol. He does make a gorgeous Edward, though. OOH, have you seen Tom Sturridge? That's another guy who would make a brilliant Edward *bounces*

I think you've stopped checking this, so I'm going to keep posting so you can have a pleasant surprise when you get on one of these days. Anyway, you're not on this morning... and here I am. Actually, no one is on, which is fine. I should be writing. Stephanie says to write a little every day, you know, and Stephanie is my new guru. If she can write a book, edit it, find an agent, and get a publishing contract in 6 months, she must know SOMETHING, right?

Maybe I will write after this. Yes. Good idea.

I had to work until really late last night (like 10:30ish) but Misti was having a party here at the apartment. So I made some people go see a movie with me after work, just to avoid all her friends. That's pretty bad, isn't it? Maybe I should grow up already :).

I'll see you TOMORROW. Yay.

Ugh, you've got me so spoiled. I took a nap today because I knew you wouldn't be on anyway, but I've been on for 10 minutes and Fona isn't on and Kris isn't feeling well and I'm thinking "Man, I'm bored. Why can't Ty be on all the time for me?" Because obviously it's all about me. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that when you first "came back", it was so EXCITING to have you on. But now I'm spoiled and I want to talk to you all the time. Hehe.

I started that story we were talking about, and I've decided something about it. I read on Stephanie's website and elsewhere that you can't worry about publication but have to just write for yourself. So I'm going to write this for YOU and for ME, and you can tell me its great and then you can help me edit it and fix it up. Seriously. You and Kris will be editors.

Andy threatened to buy a $5000 ring. Actually, he told me he did it. I nearly killed him. In Walmart. Think they would have noticed?

He didn't, thank God, but he has spent $670 on me already. I haven't broken $100 yet. But I know he wants and will like what I've bought him. I'm debating on a Bears URLACHER Jersey or Katie's Pledge. I dunno. I'm leaning toward Katie's Pledge cos he was in ROTC with her, they were friends.

How is your holiday season going? I'm hoping to come out of it alive and able to pay for school. $186 due for next semester on Next Friday. I have a week. Pray for me. Please.

Have you gotten A Brad Pailsey Christmas yet?

Oh and also... my tooth still hurts, and that makes me really cranky. I have really sensitive teeth, and it hurt for about two weeks last time. Ugh ugh ugh.

Hey. You started a Twilight RP without me. I... am deeply wounded by this. Hehe.

There are like... 200 things that I always think "when I talk to Touz next, I'll tell her..." and then we are around but not really talking, or we're just passing each other, or mostly... I forget. I do taht one a lot.

So... a few...

1.) Last week, I was chatting with one of the little boys that used to be in my class. His mom is pregnant, and so I said, "When is your baby coming, Jared?" His mom is due in February, so he told me "after the Valentine's cards." Pretty cute answer. Then he said, "And when is your baby coming?"

Well. I know that kids are really egocentric, and he didn't mean anything by it, but it made me laugh. I enjoyed telling people that, because my response was, "Not for a long, long time, Jared."

2.) I'm sponsoring a little girl for the year, and I buy her things like seasonal clothes, school supplies, and presents. I just bought her the winter stuff and two Christmas presents, and as I was checking out, the guy was REALLY chatty. Too chatty. I hate chatty, especially early Saturday morning when I haven't showered and am wearing sweats. I just want to go home. So he asked me something about my little girl liking pink. Hm. I could either explain it, or let it slide and let him think I have a little girl. I let it slide. Next thing I know, Mr. Chatty keeps talking, and I keep letting it slide, and I have a long conversation with him about "my little girl."

TOUZ TOUZ TOUZ GUESS WHAT! =D

I'm you for Halloweeeeeeen! hehe.

Well. I was a bassist for trick or treating for real. But. For MSN Trick or Treating I've gone as youuuuuuuu!!!

Not because you're scary. But because I can play you so well. And I wanted to go trick or treating and get virtual candy so I had to dress up as SOMETHING I could do well and easily. SO. I became you. (Meaning my screen name says "I'm Touz," I have your display picture, I have your personal message, I have your font and font color, and I talk like you.) So. For the rest of my time on the computer I shall continue to be you for Halloween. HOORAY!

I love and miss you, Touzifuliciousness. I've still been praying for you. ♥♥♥
