Marriage

So my sister, CC's boyfriend stopped in to see me at work today. We chatted for a bit, then I had to go. So he stops me as I'm leaving to say that he is going to by CC jewellery and wants to know if I have any suggestions. So I tell him that she wants a ring (they have been together about 6 months, but about 2 years ago they had been together for years before that) because she misses having a 'promise ring'. Next weekend they are going away to a fancy ski resort. He came to find me later to show me a beautiful diamond solitare set in white gold. He says he is going to give it to her when they are at the resort. Of course my mushy heart is thinking oh my God he is going to propose this weekend. Awwww. So cute. Updates to follow next week. Unfortunatly I can't tell any of my other sisters so I'm stuck here.

Is She or Isn't She... That Tis the Question

So one of my sisters, E, has been wondering if our friend L is cheating on her hubby. I say no, but I still wonder (unfortunatly for L so does her hubby). My sister comes to visit me at work today. I work in fashion, L works at a cosmetics counter in the same store. E and I talk for a bit then she says she is going to go say hi to L. When my shift is over, E and I head outside for a smoke. She proceeds to tell me about this guy who looks very similar to L's hubby (but different enough that she knew it wasn't) came over to the counter. Him and L hug and she kind of 'subtly' moves E along. This has totally piques E's curiousity. Hence why she mentioned it to me. If anyone would get to the bottom of it I would. Between flat out asking L, to subtle questions, or as a last resort asking L's friend W. Hehe, sneaky, but asking W won't work because W is having an affair and isn't a fan of L and I spending time together. REAAAAALLLLY want to know. Thanks E for perking up my interest too!

Ignorance

So I'm leaving work today, and I see a woman, A, from another department out having a smoke. Being the consistent smoker that I am, I join her. The headline in todays paper was about a young teacher who was pregnant and murdered (hi, Scott Pederson flashbacks, anyone). This young woman was East Indian. A is German and the other woman was just plain caucasian. Both of them are going on about how ridiculous the East Indian culture is to women and how of course the husband or the brother in law killed her etc. Now, don't get me wrong I fully believe that her husband killed her, but that is based simply on previous cases and slight descriptions from the papers. If that was how A and this random woman proceeded with this conversation, fine. But no, just about everything is a stereotype about the culture, not to mention A's rambling about the law and what the police need. She claims that they need to break the family and get a confession. Sorry hun, but I'm a third year crim student, unless there is evidence to support the confession, it aint gonna do a whole hell of a lot. Argh, I was so damn angry from this conversation.

New Blog

As the title states, this is a new blog for me. My previous (and still existing blog) can be found here. I let one of my friends know about my formerly anonymous blog so I had to create a new one. I will still update both on a regular basis.

Today's observation will be on XBF. Met XBF at the pub tonight. Been awhile since we've talked so I figured why not eh. After an hour I had heard the same stories for the billionith time and he kept giving me the same old puppy dog look. I remembered why I broke up with him. Every once in awhile I will wonder if I should have stayed with him. So I'll call him up, we'll go out and I will remember exactly why we are 'just friends'.

*Update* I have already gotten another text from him saying that he wants to hang out again. I will get about 6 of these this week and a couple next week until I actually decide to see him again. This is a major reason why we broke up in the first place
