So, last night, Welsh Girl and I got calls from her youngest sister, Dredlock Girl.  Her boyfriend asked her to marry him last night.  And, crying like a little girl, she said yes.


This is a good thing.  I like him.  Actually, everyone likes him.  He obviously loves her.  I would have strangled her hipster ass by now. :P  And, if they shoot for a wedding on their anniversary, then we might be looking at a Halloween wedding.  Not this Halloween, mind you, but still.  And that works out nicely since he is an aspiring filmmaker and makeup artist.  Maybe, one of these days, I should give him a name, a nom de plume of his own.  I don't usually don't give them to men, but I guess there are some exceptions (Welsh Dad, JonBoy...) so let me think on it for a while. 

In other news, Ben, my best friend, got back from his intel gathering course from the Army.  Woohoo! He'll be back for a couple of months and he's off to another course and then (and this the suck part) back to Iraq. :( But, since he's this deep into intel, it's only a 6 month hitch.  Whew!  And he claims that after this, he's not going back and he's buying a house when he gets back.  W00t!

Lastly, though it's not written in stone, I may be chasin' the fungi with some friends this weekend. After the last couple of weeks, I could use it, but they're talking about going out to some river to do it.  I'm not so much as nature guy so while I'm not opposed to the setting, I'm not sure how much I will enjoy such a natural setting.  I'm more of an urban predator and all that rot...

I think that's about it.  Boy, will I be happy when this month is over.  Work has been sucking.  There's all this stuff that has to be done before the end of the month of June and my boss is going to be gone the last week of the month. :( At least there's light at the end of the tunnel.  I was leaning against it before, but I may take a day off in a couple of weeks.  Welsh Girl wants to take a couple days off so we (she, her sisters and their husband, betrothed and boyfriend) can all go to Schlitterbahn.  New Braunfels is right down the road but supposedly you need more than one day to do everything.  Don't know if I can take two days, but we shall see.

That is all.
