Congratulations, Jamie and Craig!
Jamie and Craig got engaged!! It's been something like six years they've been dating, and we've all been giving Craig a bit of a hard time about when he was going to finally pop the question, but on Saturday night, he did it. And the really cute thing? He'd been planning out all these creative ways to ask, and he was so excited about it that he couldn't wait, and ended up asking her in the car on the way home. <.giggle> So cute. So, CONGRATULATIONS!!
I wanted so badly to do something with someone last night. Anyone. No one was around. <.sigh> Tammy was down at Eastern, Greg and John were in Champaign, Aarti was in Danville, Emily was on a double date, Meghan was at her aunt's, Jamie and Craig were celebrating their engagement... I miss living with a bunch of people, or at least having them within a 5-minute carride of me. It's such an effort to get together with anyone who lives in the city. So instead of doing anything exciting, I did a facial mask, plucked my eyebrows (they were needing it), and watched a couple of Jennifer Aniston movies (Picture Perfect and Object of My Affection) on ABC Family, and then the Golden Globes. Such a hoppin' social life I have.
This morning I went to brunch at Egg Harbor Cafe with Emily, Dorothy and Meghan. It was a lot of fun! We went shopping a bit afterwards at Deer Park, but as I have no money, I did not purchase anything.
Tonight, Emily is having a little engagement celebration dinner at her house. We're getting pizzas from Lou Malnatti's. When I first invited Jamie to dinner, I had kind of been thinking just the two of us, but then she started talking about making sure Craig was free, and then if anyone else was coming, so it'll be fun this way. Even though it's just Craig and Jamie, Emily and Frank, Dorothy and Erik, and me. Lone little me. Kate without a date. I'm getting kind of tired of being the single one. Usually I have Meghan or Aarti as my "date," but not this time.
I really don't have a problem being single, 99% of the time. My self-worth is not measured by whether I am in a relationship. It doesn't bother me not to get flowers on Valentine's Day. But in situations like this, when it's me and three couples, sometimes it gets tiring.
Enough bitching and moaning out of me! Ha! Going to the mall with my mom to return some things (her, not me... I'm just along for the ride), and then maybe I'll watch the movie my dad rented.
