Here are 2 conversations between me and Ld over the last weeks.
LD: Hey Hey Hey Hey don't lock the door yet.
Me: Hay is for Horses.
LD: Cows too.
Me: You just called me a cow!!
LD: No no that isn't what I meant.
Here is a little background for this one. LD was getting over a pretty bad cold when this was said.
Me: Would you please stop singing in my ear. You sound like Kermit the frog.
LD: (mumbling)Ok Miss Piggy.
Me: What? Did you just call me Miss Piggy!?
LD: Um, no.
Me: Yes you did. Jerk.
Neither of these incidents bothered me, but it was fun to see LD try to remove his foot from his mouth.

Back from being overwhelmed
It has been a while since I have blogged and I have a very good reason, well actually a few good reasons.
Two reasons were Christmas and New Years. I have never had a boyfriend around any major holidays, so this year was a major change for me. I had to figure out how to squeeze a visit to another house on Christmas. In the end it all worked out and was a very wonderful albeit hectic day.
My New Year's Eve was marvelous although I think LD was a little disappointed in his evening. It was mostly my fault since I was a little to drunk to participate in any bedroom fun. Don't worry I made up for it in the morning.
Now my main reason was wedding planning. With only 10 months until our wedding day we had to book a reception hall. Sounds easy right. Unfortunately it wasn't. I had certain criteria that I had to try to work with. One being LD is in a wheelchair so the hall must be wheelchair accessible. Another was finding a place that could hold 300 people. Oh and since my uncles own a caterering business I also had to find a hall that would allow outside catering. Combine all these with our date and the task became impossible. We called over 30 places and we kept getting the same answers; booked until 2008, only holds 250, or no outside catering.
It finally came down to LD and I making the decision to not use my uncles. My mom was worried that they would be upset with us, but I had no other choice. So then we ran into the problem that the hall we finally decided on was over my parent's budget, but yet they were never available to sit and discuss options with us. After an argument with my mom and a deep talk with LD he decided that he would pick up the reception cost. I felt very bad that he was doing this, but he explained to me that he has the means to do this, so I had to just let him. We turned in our contract last week, so that is one thing done. Actually the hall includes the cake and DJ also, so that is pretty much done too. Yeah.
Also since my last entry we decided on royal blue (the font color) as our color, gerbera daisies as our flower, and we have incorporated a ton of people in to the wedding party for a grand total of 26. I have never wanted a huge wedding, but I have accepted that I have no choice. It was inevitable since my family is huge and so is his. I just figure more people to celebrate with.

Busy Busy
Sorry for the pause in blogging. I have been so busy. I am behind on my Christmas shopping. We have had birthday and Christmas parties to go to. Oh yeah and I got engaged. Yes you read right. LD asked me Saturday night.
He had this great way to ask me, but I kinda spoiled it. He came over to help us decorate our Christmas tree and then we were gonna play games. The game he brought was scrabble. I hate scrabble. I am known for misspelling words and not knowing what a word means, so I refused to play it. I told LP that he could play it with my mom cause she loves that game. He just looked at me and in a stern voice told me that I had to open the game. At this point I looked at the game and him and it dawned on me that there was something in the game. After that I really refused to open the box. I am a stubborn pain in the butt like that.
A few minutes passed and the tree was finished being decorated, so LD reached over to set up Scrabble. I watched as he opened the box and was very disappointed to see nothing other than game pieces. LD passed me the board while he got the letter pieces out. As I opened the board I saw it. He had spelled out Will You Marry Me and other words having to do with marriage on the board. I just stared at it and when I finally looked up he was holding my ring. Of course I said yes because who in there right mind would say no to a huge diamond. I am kidding. I said yes because I want to marry LD and now get to.

Be Very Very Quiet, I Am Hunting......
I am back up and just in time for hunting season. LD is a avid hunter, so I have hardly spoken to him since last Thursday. November 11 was the opening day for riffle season. My dad never hunted, so I was blissfully unaware of how big a deal it is. I would compare it to superbowl or the opening of nascar, but with these there isn't nearly as much preparation.
Starting the weekend before everyone went out and staked out a place for them to sit patiently in hopes of seeing a deer. Then they all began washing there clothes with earth/dirt scented soap and drier sheets. Yum. They also have to clean their guns, pack the heaters, and make sure you have socks, pants, hat, shirt, gloves, coat, boots, and scarves in camouflage. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if their underwear were camo too. They do all of this just so they can sit in the cold by themselves and wait.
I was surprised that two of the wives were joining in the fun. LD tried to convince me, but I just don't see the fun in sitting in the cold. Besides I don't ever want to learn to shot a gun and I don't think I could shot a deer. LD pointed out that I could just sit and watch or pack a book to read. Now why would I venture out into the cold to read when I could do that snuggled up in my nice warm bed. All his attempts to get me to go with him failed, so now he has moved on to convincing me that Munchkin needs to go.
I just can't seem to wrap my mind around this. Why would I want my 6 year old to learn to shot or watch others shot a gun. Almost every week you learn about a kid that was accidentally shot by his friend who was showing off a gun. Now tell me why would I want to put my kid in that possible situation. LD just doesn't understand and he has stated that he will respect my wishes with Munchkin because he is mine. In otherwords if we ever have kids together he won't listen to me because they are his kids too. I called him on this and he said we would compromise.
So my question is how young is too young to learn to hunt?

Be Patient
If this post seems rushed that is because it is. I am at work on someone else's computer hopeing to get this done before my boss walks in.
I just wanted to apologize for the lack of posts recently. First I was busy with halloween and then my computer got a virus. I would post from my computer at work, but it is a piece of crap and isn't compatible with this site. My dad and brother are working on the problem at home, so hopefully I will be up and posting again soon.
