Still here, still emo

[melcreada]

I am alive, kinda. Have had the last few days off to spend with the Kid. He asked his girlfriend to marry him, which was great. I like her a lot and couldn't be happier for him. I have always worried that he was too alone and now he has someone who I think compliments him really well. I hope it is all smooth sailing for them.

The only bad part is having various family members ask me when I am getting married and that's always a pleasant question to dodge. The best news in all of this is that they will be getting married in Cabo San Lucas next year, so you know: woo, vacation!!!

I am chugging along with NaNoWriMo, a little behind but not too bad considering I was with my family all the time. I need to get back on track and since the Kid left today, it's time for me to get cracking. Er. Yeah. Come on, plots! Any day now!

Tomorrow, work. But week after next I have off for Thanksgiving. Huzzah!

a) Your icon? Wins. All. *dies*

b) Congrats to your brother and his fiancée!

c) But! Keep fighting the good, happily-attached-but-so-not-ready-for-marriage fight! *nods* It's the best crusade. *flees from thoughts of marriage anytime in the near-future* It's fine for others, really, but this girl? *points to self* Um, no. Also? No. Not now, anyway. *keeps running*

d) EEE, vacation! ¡In Cabo!

e) *passes hugs, more chocolate and excessive quantities of Starbucks* For the betterment of those nefarious plots, y'know. *g*

LOL...aaaand tea just became the focal point for my latest scene. Thanks for putting the idea of a hot beverage into my brain. ^_~

Yeah, the family is subtle but persistent in their goal to get me married off, being past my prime and all. *grin*

Anyhoo, it bothers me sometimes, but only for a little while.

I love the upside down exclamation point, BTW. ¡Que fantástico!

*shovels in the chocolate and caffeine like whoa*
