If you want to see them, you're gonna have to head over to Facebook.  I'm too lazy to upload them again.

I have a phone!! 

If those of you who actually know me, I'm kindly requesting that you send me your phone numbers.  I lost my cell shortly after arriving home from visiting Michigan.

Also, if you won't mind also providing me with your current mailing address and your birthdate...I would appreciate it.

Sorry for being a pain.

...those were the first words out of my mouth when Josh proposed yesterday afternoon...

YES!!! I'm freakin' engaged!!!  

Today I was one of 5,000 people who participated in the Big Climb in downtown Seattle.  I managed to climb up 69 flights of stairs (788 vertical feet) in 30 minutes in the Colombia tower, which is the tallest building in Seattle. 

The purpose of this event was to raise money, as well as awareness, for the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society.  To all the people I know, I’m still attempting to raise money for LLS.  If you’re able to, please donate.  Any amount helps.  Many people are suffering from blood diseases and it’s important to take care of one another.  The deadline for the fundraiser is April 4th.

Yet another year has past...sigh....and another birthday fast approaches.  I'm all ready just about booked for the following week.  I'm feeling tired just thinking about the upcoming festivities.

Currently, I'm typing as Star Wars VI music plays in the background and Josh furiously puts together, yet another, Star Wars Lego set.  (FYI:  It's Darth Vader Advanced Tie Fighter and has 1200 or so pieces)

I'm also still recovering from sickness.  Don't entirely know what it is and my doctor didn't tell me what it is.  He DID happily prescribe antibiotics for the next 5 days as well as liquid Vicodin for my nasty mucuosy throat...*hack--cough*

In other news, I'll be back to school on Monday.  I'm looking forward to it despite the fact that I'm not necessarily prepared for more academia.  I'm officially approaching 30 and I have yet to figure out what I'm doing with my life.

Along with going back to school full-time, I'll be working at GHB Co. full-time.  I threw in the towel at Trophy on Dec. 14th.  I have absolutely NO ill feelings toward to company or the people that work there.  It's a great place, just not a place for me. 

There are a few things I have to look forward to in the new future: 1) turning 27; 2) celebrating my birthday three times (maybe more...my friends are wicked cool!); 3) Actually being in a relationship during Valentine's Day; 4) My cousin's wedding and my dad's birthday in March; 5) Decorating/Baking two wedding cakes with five days of eachother in May.  Those are just to name a few.

Now, my check list of things to do in the next week... renew driver's license, update address on said license, switch co-signers on my loan, buy my textbook for Japanese Art History, and then...bills!  Here goes.
