Congrats.

And leave the laptop home for the honeymoon.

Thanks. :-) We will.

We'll see.

We already do. I'm the one who can see and you're the one who can
walk, remember?

Oh yeah. Good point. Thanks for reminding me.

LMAO

Has anyone mentioned that you're having too much fun yet?

Cele: I'm entirely fine with it. Here, let's try this: Hey you guys on
assp: If a fellow gives you a ring that closely resembles an
engagement
ring, and says the words, "Cele, would you do something for me? Would
you marry me?" what do you think he is indicating about his
intentions?

Hmm... that's a tricky one. Could mean he wants to get um.. some...
and is use to giving women rings to do it.

Is there anything I could say in reply to this that wouldn't get me into
trouble?

Sure. There's...."Not me, no way, I adore Cele and would never ever do
anything to hurt her....."

Okay then.

In answer to 'Kate's point I would just like to say. Not me, no way, I
adore Cele and would never ever do anything to hurt her.

But I'll settle for the stuff you already said. LOL

You've never struck me as the type to "settle" Cele. Is this maturity?

Oh, and if you say, "Yes," does that mean you should set a date?
Urgent
replies requested, as the date setting part needs to be got on with if
appropriate..........

LOL... I haven't a clue. Check with the married folks.

Are there many in here these days?

Lisa, I think.....who else? Can't remember. Oh. Where's Bri? We
haven't heard from her in ages, have we?

I tend to see that as a good thing on the whole.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Cele & Paul

Let's see... it's December what? 'Bout time you guys came up for air.

We had major internet connection issues.

Yes. We did.

Weird that. As a point of interest I had a broadband connection in the
hotel in London and no use for it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it like glue.

Especially since it's also true.

Indeed.

Congratulations!

Thanks, 'Kate.

What he said.

LOL

I want March to come. OK, really, I want August to come.

Want, want, want, that's all I ever hear from you.

That's true. I'm terribly demanding. LOL

I'd just like to take this chance to point out that it wasn't a complaint of
any kind, okay?

Don't ever change. :-)

Won't I start to smell bad after awhile?

I'll cope.

Cele: Hi everybody! Merry Christmas. Hope you all had a good one. We
just finally got a net connection in this hotel in Boston, or we
might've wished you all a Merry Christmas earlier.

chuckle After all those "get a room" posts you finally did. :-)

Yup. ;-)

Yeah, I liked that part too.

Must have been all that snow tha kept you under "wraps" for this long

Heh. Nah, fact is, we had a monster of a time getting a broadband
drop. I took my laptop for various reasons, but partly because it's a
good games & DVD machine when you've got kids along. But we hoped to
follow this post up sooner, except only the Boston hotel had a drop.
Neither of us has a dialup account and we were just too darned *busy*
to get our act together & go to a net cafe.


I still think the Snow idea is more romatic :-)



And "busy" should be taken literally, okay? With two kids around there
wasn't much free time for the two of us.


chuckle I was reminded on Christmas day what it was like to have 4
kids under the age of 6 running around, either chasing or being chased
by the dog ( which is a Sable Collie, not a small dog ) :-) All
in-doors


Did that sound sufficiently hard done by? I hope so. ;-)

I'm home now, though, and Paul & Pete'll be back at their home
tomorrow. So I'm answering 'cause I got here first. :-)

Pete's still not home. He's having a few days with his grandparents.

Happy New Year!

Indeed yes, what she said, again!

No kidding. And I'm already getting ragged on by family for not seeing
things we were told to go see. I told 'em we'll just have to go back.
:-)

But the things we did do were fun. Except the whacked on the back of
the head part. So okay, everybody, how's this for ridiculous? A
Canadian and two Welshmen go skating in Central Park. The Canadian has
been skating for so long she can't remember not knowing how. The Welsh
child has skated once and the adult, not at all. Now. Who remains
upright, and who has a moderately impressive fall involving a nasty
lump on the head and first aid intervention? I'll give you a clue. The
latter wasn't anyone from Wales.

Then two Welshmen and two Canadians from the *Yukon* go off to find a
horse drawn buggy for a quasi-romantic (how romantic is it going to be
with tired kids along??) ride through Central Park. Who gets
hypothermic? The ones with no experience of extreme climate? The one
who went to a cold climate and had to adjust in adulthood? Nope. The
one who was flipping raised in the Yukon......

Then there was that safari. No, wait. It wasn't a safari. It was a
shopping trip to FAO Schwartz. That would be, the toystore in Home
Alone and Miracle on 34th Street. I *thought* it was a safari, at
first. There were full sized giraffes, and elephants, and ....what
were those other animals? Oh, right. Grizzlies. Penguins. All sorts of
stuff. Stuffed. Stuffed animals. Never saw anything like it. Who would
have guessed that a full sized realistic stuffed elephant comes in at
$1400? Not me.....

Who buys these things?

We did lots and lots of things. It was wonderful.

Next year, it'll be nice to all be together in our own home....

And which area in the world will that be in?

That is such an awesome toy store!

Congratulations both of you btw. I never got enough time off work to make
the trip to NYC. Actually I got no time off. I am glad you had a
wonderful time though. Let us know when you set a date.

Is it ever! We were in awe. I actually took pictures. :-)

Congratulations both of you btw.

Thanks. I can't believe how happy I am, and grateful for good things
in life. I haven't felt truly *happy* in a long, long time, and it's
just a lovely thing. Paul is a gift, and so is Pete. (Don't tell him I
said that!)

I never got enough time off work to make

Ugh, that stinks. I hope you had a good holiday with your family, all
the same.

I am glad you had a

Thanks. We did, and we will.

Be well.

It's because I'm old, fat and ugly isn't it?

Hey! You're not ugly!

Sigh

I like the way you look. You *are* very old, being what, nineteen
months older than I am, but I always did think older men were da bomb.
LMAO

Thanks, Honey.

Any time.

You're a keeper, though....

Aww!

LOL

:-D

NOW what're they gonna do? We already got a room. What'll they tell us
to do next?

(Good thing they didn't hear us singing all the way back from Boston.)

Western Canada. I'm working on schools for Paul's consideration for
Pete as we type.

Anyone able to make it to Vancouver next Christmas?
