I'm getting married!!!! Okay, not tomorrow or anything, but sometime in the decently near future. KA asked me to marry him on Wednesday. My ring is absolutely beautiful. I have the sweetest man in the whole world. How do I know this? Well, he drove to my hometown a week before he asked me to get my parents permission. Then he actually got down on one knee when he asked me. I didn't even know guys still did that. And my ring just proves my theory even more. He took a ring that was given to him when his grandfather passed away. Then he removed the diamonds and designed a ring for me using the diamonds (I'm so glad he knows I hate yellow gold).
So now, I'm engaged. Now here comes the hard part. Seriously if it were up to me, I would fly off to a beach somewhere and have a really intimate ceremony then come back and have a big party. KA wants a more traditional wedding. Not only that, but he's kind of wanting a large wedding, indoors. Trust me, I will put a stop to that. Not trying to be a bitch or anything but I have always said that I wanted to have an outdoor wedding. I think I should at least get that, especially if I cave and let the event be a little bigger than I ever wanted. Marriage is full of comprises. Who knew they would start with the ceremony?

I have this sort of "uniform" that I wear whenever we teach class. It's one of those black sleeveless BodyPump shirts with a red stripe, black lightweight BodyPump pants, a pair of black & red Nike Shox shoes, and a black durag. I have two full sets so that I can rotate them when one's in the wash.
Well anyway, I've noticed something about this uniform of mine. Whenever I put it on, it has this sort of energizing effect. No matter how tired, sluggish, or whatever I feel - all I have to do is put that uniform on and my whole being just kind of shifts into "exercise mode". I know that I probably could exercise in other clothes (I have, actually, every now and again), but just doesn't feel right. It must be magic.
I had a doctor tell me once that he couldn't think about medical things unless he was sitting on one of those little rolling stools they have in doctor's offices. Now I know what he meant.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's magic.

I have been so busy this week in the garden and painting inside the house. I am also waiting on new power supplies for my system so posting will be lite. I will try to post some pics from the bluegrass festival this weekend. I hope to be back up and running by the end of next week.

A little over a month ago I told you about my http://onemoon.modblog.com/?show=blogview&blog_id=556905. So the problem is slowly getting worse. Over the past few weeks I have started to see this guy's face appear at work frequently. Last week I saw him at least 10 times. Now, figure that up in your head, 10 times in 7 seven days means that he came in there more than once on a few days. So I was starting to feel uneasy about the whole thing after last week and maybe I am being paranoid. Then last week, on my day off I was driving to the store. Let me explain my road. Not very many people live on my road, but it is driven frequently because it is often used as a connecting road. That being said, I will finish my story. Last week they were doing road work on my road, starting near my house and moving down the road a little bit each day. Well, on my day off they weren't far from my house and as I am driving by one of the sign holders, he waves. That's normal, they all wave at girls passing by; I usually wave back. As I started to wave however, I just about wrecked trying to jerk my hand down. As I was lifting my hand up I made eye contact with the sign holder and there looking straight at me was my possible stalker. So I have been freaking out the past week. I know he saw me and now he knows what I drive. If he wanted to, he could easily figure out where I live since I do live on the main road. I know that I am possibly making too much out of this and that he may just be coming in to look at me (which is still strange) and be completely harmless. Who knows.

Both canidates were at MECC yesterday, and so was I. Jerry talked about his tax plan that gives VOTERS the chance to control the taxes. Kaine said this would hurt Virginia. "Kilgore’s plan to give voters the final say on increases in sales, income or gas taxes would harm the state, Kaine said, arguing that voters should let lawmakers decide." HumBug! Kaine said it does not show leadership to let the voters decide...Kilgore said "I think it shows leadership," he said. "It allows citizens to lead."
He criticized Kaine’s criticism.
"He never ceases to amaze me," Kilgore said. "All he does is criticize. I could walk across the James River and he’d say I couldn’t swim."
I like that reply! Indeed!

I have added a few to the Spark it Up Blogroll.
The Jaded JD
OCCASIONAL WIT, INFREQUENT WISDOM, AND RANDOM DISPLAYS OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
Don Surber: From His Blog. "
Who Is Don Surber? I am a columnist and editorial writer for the Charleston Daily Mail, and afternoon newspaper in West BY GOD Virginia.
This blog is totally independent of my job.
Born in Cleveland, I live in Poca with my wife, an indoor cat, an outdoor cat and three ferrets. Our sons attend Marshall, our daughter is in law school in Morgantown.
I was a registered Democrat from June 1972 until March 2002 when I joined the Republicans. My party left me, not the other way around.
In 2000, I won the best general columnist award (circulation 100,000 or less) from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. That was nice. I am an Army veteran (including a stint as a reporter for the Stars and Stripes) and a 1981 graduate of Cleveland State University."
The Blue State Conservatives: As the name suggests this site is made of conservative bloggers that hale from those states that voted for Kerry in the last election. Once a month you can expect each of us to write about our respective states but for the most part we will be dealing with those issues that interest us most. I wanted this to be a fun group blog to belong to so even though you will find a heavy dose of politics you will also find topics about anything else that interest us.
Check them out!

John
has this at CC as he sees a lot of good in the numbers.
The Jaded JD has looked hard at the numbers and it sounds about right.
I found some of the numbers odd, but what do I know.

The new Survey USA poll shows Kilgore still leading Kaine by a 4% margin. That is down a little from the last poll, but I am not surprised and you should not be either given the Kaine TV ads have been up and running and all the liberal press support of Kaine lately. The democrats will see this as great news, but in reality with Kilgore just starting his TV ads the results mean very little. The poll was conducted on commencement weekend and in my opinion that was a bad choice. I am sure some Kilgore supporters are down over this, but I am not. Kilgore has just started his ads and with the primary soon his numbers will grow.

If you visit Spark it Up you know I support giving Americans the right to invest in private accounts. Watching the MSM, it seems there is not any support for this idea. It just so happens that 450 economists, including 5 Nobel laureates have came out with their support. Read about it!
Social Security Choice: 450 Reminders to the Liberal Media
America is being lied too. I agree with the article, if 450 movie stars slammed private accounts, it would be headlines. The liberal media is strong, but thanks to the blogs we stand a chance at finding info that is important. 450 economists is nothing to be ignored. When I was younger I thought 60 Min-Time and Newsweek were all good sources of information...I thought as a child. It is now time to put away childish things.

With all my posts about it I think this sums it up the best.
-
It would be easy to scold both Kilgore and Kaine about the importance of sticking to the issues and not worrying about what Kilgore’s voice sounds like. But in truth, the southern accent carries with it a certain negative stereotype that could hurt a man like Kilgore in urban and suburban Virginia. That’s not fair, but it’s true - and everyone knows it.
Months from now, the Kilgore campaign may find itself struggling to get its message to voters who can’t get past their candidate’s accent. If that happens, it would be a tragic turning point in Virginia politics - and the end of statewide aspirations for anyone who sounds like they’re from rural Virginia.
Virginians who care about the future can only hope the content of a candidate’s message - and not the sound of his voice - will determine who gets the most votes on Election Day. If that happens, we’ll all be winners, no matter where we live.(Bold print by Kilo)
I disagree with the first line. I think Kilgore has presented a good plan and in detail on his website.
It is a good article from the Danville Register Bee.

Okay, I know I know....how dare try and write an entry and want you people to read it after I've been gone for so long. The truth is, I just haven't had that much to write about. Okay, that's a lie. The real truth is that even though I did have plenty to write about I just couldn't put it together when it came time to type it all up. So in an effort to endear myself to you and make you forgive me for being gone, I have decided to share a funny story about myself.
Ever not hear the correct words to a song and go around singing the incorrect ones. Even when the words just don't make sense and you just don't get it you are convinced those are right words. Because you know what you heard. Such as singing "I'm shaving" instead of "I'm Shameless" (Thanks GBA for that one) Well, at least his sort of made sense, well not exactly but more so than mine. One day I was singing "She seems to have an Invisible Touch" in the car with M when I was about 16. Seems normal enough. Except I wasn't singing "She seems to have an invisible touch", Oh no! I was singing "She seems to have an invisible talk show" I had always wondered why in the hell was he singing about her talk show and what made it invisible (so I wasn't the quickest). The way he sung Touch, it broke into two syllables so to me, it did not sound like touch.
So there I am singing in the car and M goes "Wait, sing that again". And I did. Then she started laughing. And laughed for at least 5 minutes where she was then finally able to sing to me the correct words.
Now, I know that you are reading this and thinking "What an idiot?" But in my defense, I WAS 16!
