After a couple weeks of waiting, my wedding band has arrived. I ordered it from Raru.com and I am totally pleased. Their customer service was top notch and the product they delivered me looks fantastic.

I knew I wanted a celtic design of sorts, but wasn’t sure what. I went to their site and was pretty overwhelmed by all the different types of celtic knots there were. I looked at a few, then I noticed this category: Dragon Knots. I don’t know the exact significance of this knot, but as I type this I’m googling for a definition. If anyone knows, feel free to drop a comment.

The ring fits great and looks great. It’s hard no to wear it. In about 4 weeks I’ll be able to wear it, however.

Last week was busy - and it wasn’t anticipated, which was a bit frustrating. It has passed, however, and here we are, doing it all again. This week it is anticipated and I can prepare for it a bit.

The Lilac Fest commences this weekend and I’m looking forward to walking to it this year. Not sure how much time I’ll spend there due to work craziness, but we shall see. I may walk to the park tonight and snap a shot for 365. Last week’s 365 seemed to fall by the wayside as I was too tired by time I got home.

Weekend was enjoyable despite working on Saturday, which wasn’t bad either. It was quiet and uneventful. I saw Ironman with a friend and the reviews were right: totally fantastic movie. They did seem to pack a lot into it, but the effects were pretty flawless minus a few parts. I was sad to see the Shelby Cobra get crushed - hope it was prop!

Sunday was spent eating sushi, relaxing, Mario Kart’ing and using our new Rice Cooker. Since going to Japan, we’ve been mildly addicted to rice. And since having rice cooked in a Rice Cooker, we’ve wanted a one badly. Friends of ours snagged the one on our registry and it cooks a mean batch of rice. It even plays a song when you set the timer and when it is done cooking! A song!

In case you don’t hear from me, have a good week all. And Jim, I hope Sadie is doing better, despite your latest entry. Keep us posted!

Long week that will be over at 5pm today. Sunday will be good as I’ll be able to catch up on all the sleep I didn’t get this week due to back pain, stress/anxiety. I really should try to calm down - ya know, give it a try.

Snagged Mario Kart Wii - online play is much better than Smash Bros. Using the wheel is weird, may go to using controller/nun-chuck combo - worked well in Smash Bros.

Tempted to see Ironman this evening after work, but I’m also tempted to slip quietly into a coma until tomorrow morning. I’ll let you know which activity wins out: Coma versus Movie - Be there!
