What an INTERESTING Month

So it's been one hell of a wild ride since my last blog post. Around nine hours after I posted, I asked Carla to marry me of which of course she said yes. We've set the date as either September 18, 2010, or September 18, 2011. A few weeks after that Jon, my roommate, announced he was moving back to Kansas in December and so Carla and I have moved in together. Happy times, and my life is now complete. We spend almost every hour of every day together and still, for the hour or two we must part we miss each other dearly. That, my friends, is the definition of love.

I'm not going to ramble too much about the engagement here, seeing as I did in person and on Facebook, but suffice it to say she's the woman I've waited my entire life to meet. Right now I'm all of four inches from her, I'm on my PC and cooking, she's laying on the couch reading.

In my Flames of War addiction I've started buying minis again. My Italians aren't even finished painting (My Cavalry stuff is not done, neither is 3/4 of my Motorcycle Platoon or my British loaned 6pdr AT Guns) but I love collecting them, so I've started buying the elements of a US Rifle Company. I'll buy the box set in August that has most of it, but have bought a U.S. 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage M10 Tank Destroyer Platoon (1 section) and another rifle platoon to add to the box set. Now I just need to buy 4 trucks, 4 towed 3-inch guns, and a pack of bazooka teams and for about $380 I'll have my 2,000 point U.S. force. It's there to play with, but the Italians are the guys I want to play.

For the OSU Medical Center, I sent them $794 last week, from the sale of my Repro 1842 Springfield and my Smith and Wesson. I had an additional $225, but when OSU threatened to cancel my Fall Enrollment thanks to outstanding fees that's where that went. Then they demanded I pay at least $75/month instead of $50, and even though they just got $800, they're demanding the first $75 by Friday. So much for me trying to do the right thing.

I'm done ranting for now, gonna play some Distant Guns and maybe caress my woman as she reads.
