The New Look Me

Ok, maybe not such a “new look” but a minor change. After much waiting, I finally got new glasses. I can’t remember how long I had the previous pair, but Chris finally convinced me it was time to upgrade.

We found a few nice pair at Granville Optical at Granville & Robson last September, but the budget wasn’t there for them. However, Chris’s insurance covers a good chunk, so we took the plunge. They’re pretty different from the previous pair. I’ll post a photo soon.

I was going to post a photo with this blog, but the lighting at work is TERRIBLE and I looked all washed out and bald. I’m not bald (yet). So you’re going to have to wait.

While I’ve got new glasses, Rumble’s losing out. Unfortunately he’s at the vet today for neutering. Poor guy. He’s not going to be happy when I go get him, and he’s very much not going to like us for doing this too him. But it’s for the best. We didn’t plan to breed him, and he doesn’t need them.

I’m going to stay home with him tomorrow, then Chris is off for 2 days, then it’s the weekend. So he’ll get 5 days at home for recovery without worrying about playing with other dogs. Poor guy. We also had him micro-chipped and one of his left-over baby teeth removed. All 4 of his baby canines stayed in after his adult teeth arrived. 3 of them eventually fell out. Ok, Chris accidentally knocked at least 1 out, and we pulled one when it was loose. But they were ready to go anyway.

More another time.

Oh My God!

Well, just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, guess what – Chris & I are engaged! For the record he proposed to me on December 18, 2006 and I said “Yes.”

This is the ring we bought ourselves to celebrate our engagement. It’s a simple titanium ring called “Abyss” – which hopefully doesn’t mean anything negative.
We got them on Friday just before New Years and when they arrived, I proposed to Chris, just to make sure everything was on the same page. He said “Yes.”
Tentatively we’re talking summer 2008 but that’s about the only details that have been worked out although we’re considering an Ontario wedding since most of our family is there.
Other than that, the holidays went pretty well. It was the first time that Chris and I had spent that much time (10 days) together. Weird huh? Over 2 years as a couple, but never together for that long. We did spend some time apart. Chris hung out with “Juicy” (Dircieu – long story) a few times, and I did some dog training walks, etc.
I bought Chris all 3 seasons of “Arrested Development” on DVD for Christmas and he watched the whole thing! I watched about 1/4 of them. He really loved that show. I could hear him laughing continuously.
Overall it was a good week, and a great way to start 2007! Happy New Year!
