Fairytale Ending!

Now that my life has become more than merely a series of horrendously bad first, second, and third dates, I've been spending my free time doing all the normal stuff that people in relationships do . . . watching DVDs, eating pizza, hanging out, talking, and all that jazz. And let me be clear. I've never been happier in my life. However, there appears to be a negative correlation between my ability to write humorous blog entries and my increased happiness. And for that, dear readers, I apologize.

If you're just catching up on the antics of our heroine, I'll bring you up to speed. In August, I kissed a frog who magically transformed into a prince. Of course, being skeptical and somewhat of a connoisseur in the frogs gone wrong category, I was hesitant to cue the celebratory parade right away. But I'm not going to lie to you – your princess has finally met her match, so last night, when the prince handed a big sparkly (and yes, princess cut!) diamond ring to me, I said yes and promptly went into shock.

Even while in shock, I knew there were a few phone calls I had to make – to my parents and a few other "bffs" out there. And that, dear readers, is where things get entertaining. Indulge me for a moment while I replay some of the highlights for you.

Highlight #1: Call to my mom & dad

Me: "Hi, sorry to call so late. But I wanted to tell you I just got a diamond ring from the man!"

Mom: "That's nice. What does that mean?"

Me, in exasperated tone of voice: "Isn't it obvious? He quit his day job and is moving to Africa to harvest blood diamonds!"

Mom: "Ha ha ha. Congratulations!" Muffled sounds of my dad talking over me in the background. "Hold on a second, honey . . . Dad, Princess is engaged!"

Dad: "To who?" Followed by muffled sounds between Mom and Dad. Unsure of the nature of this dialogue.

Me: "Is it any wonder I have spent the GDP of a small country in therapy bills?"

Mom: "Well, this is just wonderful. When's the big day?"

Me: "Mom, I've had the ring on for all of 35 seconds. I haven't planned the blessed event yet. But I promise, you'll be invited."

Mom: "Ha, ha. I just woke up. Be nice."

 

Highlight #2: Call FROM my mom & dad, approximately five minutes after hanging up from the first call

Me: "Hello?"

Mom: "Your dad . . ."

Me: "Huh?"

Mom: "Your dad had a premonition this would happen."

Me: "Really? Then why did he ask 'to who' earlier?"

Mom: "You know he thinks he's funny. How cute is this premonition?"

 

Highlight #3: Call from The Snake

Me: "Snake, I'm engaged!"

Snake: "Will you be showing for the wedding? And also, make sure you get a prenup."

Me: "What is the matter with you?"

Snake: "I'm kidding! Congratulations! But seriously . . . are you pregnant or something? And when's the big day?"

    

Highlight #4: Overheard during call to the Man's parents

Man: "Well, I did it!"

Man's Dad: "So . . . did she accept?"

Man: "Why else would I be calling you?"

Man's Dad: "So – when's the big day?"

 

Highlight #5: Call to one of my BFF's

Me: "Did you see the text I sent you?"

BFF: "I sure did. Beautiful. But the heat is out at my house. Can you guys come fix it?"

Me: "On the way."

[20 minutes later when we arrive . . . ]

BFF: "Oh, snap! This means you're engaged! I just thought you had a new ring!"

 

I am confident that this is just the beginning of a series of entertaining and awkward discussions, and I look forward to all of them. My fairytale is coming true! Does this mean I'll stop blogging? Sorry, folks – but the blog shall continue, however, it may require a new name since I'm officially resigning as Princess of Frog Kissing. I am soliciting recommendations for a new blog name to celebrate this new chapter. And in other news . . . HOLY SHIT! My fairytale is coming true!
