I shouldn’t be complaining…

Things are going pretty well…

-I will have my Master’s Degree in 10 weeks.

-I have a fiance who loves me madly and whom I love madly.

-I have a job.

-I’m relatively financially secure… not super-secure, but good for now.

-I have friends and family who care about me.

And yet tonight, I’m having one of my random sinking depressions.

I’m overwhelmed by the amount of school work I have left to do this semester. I’m overwhelmed by how expensive weddings are and how I want it to be a beautiful fairy-tale like party even though logically, I know we should just get eloped to save money and time and effort. I’m not happy as a part time grocery store employee and sometimes substitute teacher, but I don’t think I can get a full time job. I have a little bit of money, but not enough to be independent. My family and friends care about me and I care about them, but sometimes people just get on my nerves.

Sometimes I just want to run around screaming at the top of my lungs. Just to see if anyone would notice. I’m on an emotional rollercoaster that I just can’t deal with. Instead of actually getting anything done today, I made to do lists of the stuff I need to do. I planned for the cleaning craziness that will be happening once I graduate in May… and looked at houses online because Joel wants to get a house when his lease is up… except he keeps lowering the amount he would be willing/able to spend, but not changing the requirements that he has for said house. And we can’t afford the wedding we want, so how can he be looking for houses? Gah. I’ve got too much to worry about right now and I don’t feel like I can get anything done or calm down about anything and blargledeegoop.

And I miss my Mum and this Sunday would be her birthday if she were alive and it sucks that she’s dead and it still hurts and I hate that she’s not around. I hate that she won’t be here for my graduation from Grad School this May. She never graduated from college, so I’m sure she would be so fucking proud of me, but she’s not here to see it. FUCK. I don’t want to deal with this. I think that’s probably where a lot of these negative sinking depressive feelings are coming from, but I don’t want to deal with it because I don’t have time to deal with it… I have too much other stuff to do… I can’t afford to break down right now. I can’t afford to cry and let it out and deal with my emotions. Gah dammit. Crying now. Don’t have time. Need to stop. Gotta stop writing and go work on homework.

Not calling it a resolution..

because then I’ll break it. LoL.

But I am going back to Weight Watchers tonight and I plan on actually sticking to it and not cheating and actually losing weight. My cousin and my aunt have each lost over 60 pound on WW, so now I have proof that it works. Yes, I’ve heard about other people’s success stories, but it’s never been someone close to me, so that makes it more real. I am also planning on joining the Perinton Rec Center which is $24 a month if you are a student which includes a track, work out room, and swimming pool. Woot. So that should help. My fiance is considering joining as well because he is not particularly happy with the little bit of a tummy that he has.

Still don’t have an exact date for the wedding, although 5/15/2010 seems to be in the forefront… I don’t want to officially choose the date until we know if we have a reception place/ceremony site, which we can’t figure out until we have guest list estimate which I can’t get Joel to work on. I may just assume 150-200 people and start looking at locations more seriously… lalala, still excited to be engaged. Whenever I start feeling upset or unhappy about anything (including non-wedding related things), I can interrupt it with “We’re engaged!!!” and instantly feel better. :-D

It’s kinda funny because I feel like Joel and I have gotten even more lovey-dovey (if that’s possible). I don’t know how that is, but it’s definitely nice. I love my fiance!! (not that I didn’t before, I just felt like reiterating that)

A week until my ring is finished getting resized!!!! Woot Woot!!

An engaging post…

Joel and I are engaged now!!! In half an hour, it’ll have been an entire day! :-)

I was cleaning my house for the party yesterday and I was stressed out and cranky and I needed to go pick Joel up from his apartment. He told me to come up when I got there, because he needed help carrying some stuff…

When I walked in, he was sitting on the couch, with a bunch of gerbera daisies and limonium on the table! (probably some of my favourite flowers)… and we sat there for a bit just hugging and being all snuggly and he handed me a poem and told me to read it out loud… I was too embarrassed to read it out loud, so I read it to myself. Here’s the poem:

Suzi is the girl for me
I just wish that you could see
Love I feel will always be
You are the love that sets me free

Be it shining outside or raining
With you I won’t be complaining
Me, I’ll smile with you anyway
Forever loving you, day after day

I love the way you smile
Love the way you’ll stay a while
You joke around so easily
So I hope that you’ll bear with me

Will you forgive a simple jest
You always laughed at all the rest
Merry little game by a nerd
Me? I’d read each first word.

And yes, it says merry not marry, but it’s a bad pun and that’s awesome and so us.

I of course said yes… and that I would also Pippin him. :-)

He then told me that he didn’t have a ring because he looked online and at a couple places and just couldn’t find anything sufficiently “Suzi”, so we went ring shopping today!! We found a gooooooorgeous ring that was in the price range and very me. Click here to see it on the website. They have to resize it and stuff, so it won’t be ready until January 15th, but until then, I’m wearing my Claddagh ring as a “placeholder”.

The wedding is probably going to be in May 2010, perhaps the 15th… but that’s not set in stone yet. We need to figure out a venue and all that jazz first!!! :-D

SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!
