Happy Weekend DISfriends! What are you all up to?
Had a dinner function last night; ended up helping cook all afternoon for 120 people and then helped out serving, and then helped clean up. And I had paid for a ticket, lol. I did get to eat, too, at least

Today we are doing a family thing with "extended family" (ie, people I'm not actually related to, but love like family): fishing and a bonfire. Should be a blast. I'm thinking I may win the prize for smallest fish, given my luck on the last fishing trip
Well overall I had a good week. The job I moved here for fell through but I have a couple leads on other jobs. I proposed to my gf(now fiance') on Thursday night. She was so shocked since I told her the ring was still in Vegas and I hadn't paid it off yet. It went perfectly!


Yay! Congrats! I think we may have as many non-singles as singles on the SSC

Very happy for you (and everyone else that has found someone special to spend time with)
Just got my hair done, bought a fabulous new dress and plan on going to meet my friend tonight at a wine bar to celebrate her birthday!
New clothes rock! Especially off the bargain rack

I have 2 weddings to go to next weekend and I stopped at the mall Friday to find something to wear; found on okay shirt but headed over to the clearance racks and found 3 shirts I loved for only a buck more than the okay shirt would have been. So I had something new to wear last night *and* something new for each wedding next week
I normally don't want to bring up my personal life, but I managed to land a very good job last week. I lost my job back in July, so I was out of work for three months. It was a rough time, but I managed to make the most of it, including a miracle trip to DL. When they offered the job to me, I asked them if I could take a few days off in January so I could run the WDW marathon. My new boss didn't care and encouraged it. Now I get to plan my next trip!
Being unemployed sucks, congrats on finding a new job!
Well, Brandon and I went to Food and Wine yesterday and had an absolutely fabulous time. We can recommend the lamb chop in Australia, but not the potato salad they serve with it, The lettuce wrap in South Korea, The Goulash soup in Germany was to die for, the cheese fondue at the cheese booth was just okay, at Hops and Barley we had the lobster roll, that was yum. . .the last food of the day was the Belgian waffle, that was killer. Overall a good day. We were too full to continue on to Ireland for the lava cake and Fishermans pie. . . we did have them the last trip. Will start there next time. We had a blast. Went on Mission-Space orange team before hitting up the food booths and did not put our heads against the headrest as recommended, just for fun.
Super jealous! But, sounds like a great time

Wonderful that you are getting these great times with your son before he has to head out for boot camp.
Big news from my corner of the world--my mother is moving to Kissimmee. She closes on her condo at the end of Oct, and I'm flying down over Thanksgiving to help her settle in.
So maybe I'll get to see the Osborne lights this year.
Awesome! (And, another person to add to my jealously list, lol)
