Tae-Kwon-Do
Chris has been taking Tae-Kwon-Do for about two months now. He got his uniform at this evening's class. He is scheduled to test for his yellow stripe soon, and he's practicing his first and second forms right now before he heads off to bed. How cute is that?

No more zoot suit!
Dennis bought a new suit for our wedding today. He looks really good in it, and I'm very glad to have that detail taken care of. The pants still need to have the hems finished, but other than that, he's good to go. Now I just need to find something for me to wear!!!
Unfortunately, I spent so much time in the Men's Departments today that I fear I've got "Zoot Suit Riot" permanently stuck in my head! ARGH! Make it stop!

Spring Break
Chris has been gone since last Friday. He is visiting his Dad's side of the family in Indiana. I talked to him this evening, and he's having a great time. He got to meet his new cousin and hold him for a while. He's been doing something outside with his Grandma every day. Man, what I wouldn't give for a little spring break myself!
We've had people out at work this week, and we're doing top capacity as it is. The last two days were really rough, and I put in over three hours of overtime. Of course I am only going to be paid straight time for it, because I have to leave early for a Doctor's appointment on Monday, which is really discouraging.
Except for the work stress, the rest of the week home alone with Dennis has been really nice. We don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like, and nothing has been easy lately. We haven't even done our regular housework this week. We've just been relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Still, I can't wait to be away from it all and on our honeymoon!

MySpace Alternate Universe
I don't visit MySpace all that often. I mostly started my profile to be able to see all of the MySpace links I was coming across. I bumped into a few people I know IRL, and I met a few people whom I almost know from RL activities I'm involved in. A friend of mine is married to a man in a local band, so I get regular updates about their goings on. Then I put up a crazy picture of me in hot pink pantyhose. Since then, my MySpace profile has taken on a life of its own, and apparently my alternate universe self is quite popular with men who like to wear hosiery! It has become some what of an experiment. I don't actively encourage anything, but I don't discourage it either. I just let my little MySpace self roam wild.

ZZZZZzzzzzzz z z z
I've been sleeping alllll weekend. I slept in yesterday morning while Dennis went out with a friend, then I convinced him to take an afternoon nap with me, then we slept all night, and this afternoon I fell asleep on the couch while Chris and I were watching March of the Penguins. I think I'm caught up!
In other news, I'm really making a concerted effort to diet and exercise before the wedding. I haven't gotten back in shape since I got laid off and sat around getting fluffy, and this is just the kick in the butt I need to really get going. It is not great for my diet that a tasty new Chinese place with some of the best crab rangoon around just opened - way too close to the apartment. Must resist rangoon! (Mmm, that made me drool a little bit...)
Whew, that wore me out, I think I'm going to go lie down for a bit :)

We have a Wedding Date
Dennis and I got engaged and purchased our rings in September. In January, we discovered that the St. Charles County Courthouse has a Shotgun Wedding Policy. Today, we learned that we can have our wedding when we had been hoping for!
In the spirit of my other Blog, I figured I'd just post the emails about it.
