I am SO PROUD to announce that my brilliant beau is now a certified Professional Engineer! He is now known as Prince Charming, PE.
After a long, long, long two month stint of 200 pounds of engineering books, hours in a review classroom, and an eight-hour, butt-numbing test… not to mention the two month wait, he received his scores!
What a champion. I knew it!

My sister and I agreed, independently, that Beauty and the Beast is in great want of a five minute scene of Belle and the Beast falling in Love.
Brief synopsis covering about 15 minutes of the movie:
- Belle finds her father in a dungeon
- Beast takes Belle prisoner instead of father
- Belle escapes, Beast finds her and fends off wolves
- Belle and Beast are in love
Maybe I’m doing this wrong, but it doesn’t work that way for me.
Speaking of Disney movies that don’t portray Love accurately, I created a new pinboard and I think the ladies out there might enjoy it.
RunPee.com. Nuff said.
I just learned about this incredibly efficient use of the Internet and other people’s time to save your bladder and prevent you from wasting your $46 on a movie ticket. Brilliant.
Speaking of running… Kayla of The Alluring World and Emily of A Day in the Life and I are on a team. We’re virtual running buddies, motivating each other from afar to run and get into shape for our respective races.
I have a 10K run to look forward to on March 31, so if you could file away your prayers a little prematurely, me and my poor muscles would greatly appreciate it.
I ran this race last year, but I’m going to run it without stopping this year. I’m promising myself, and I never back down on a self-promise. The first line in my post from last year’s race is:
“Oh man, y’all. I rediscovered something about myself: I am not a runner.”
That will change, my friends. Care to join Kayla, Emily, and me?
After my accidental weeks-long break from blogging due to busyness, I think I made up for it this week with perhaps too many posts!
Our Deepest Fear – A short one that includes a quote that has been a necessary reminder for several years.
Chastity Carnal-val – I enjoy puns about chastity.
Carrying Baby Jesus into Christmas Mass – A call to action for all of us!
Lime spelled backwards – On the anniversary of my Emil Daddy’s death
The Bright Maidens came back strong this week! I hope you didn’t notice me skip out on the last one… if you didn’t, I’m telling you now.
This week we “reviewed” TLC’s new “reality” The Virgin Diaries. I enjoyed the responses, I hope you do too:
Mine, “Chastity Carnal-val”
Julie, “Kiss the Girl!”
Trista, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Virgin”
Katie, “Virgin ‘Diaries'” – The woman behind the topic idea.
Alicia, “Virgin is the New Mermaid”
Beth Anne, “Virgin Diaries Review”
Sarah, “Unicorns in Our Midst: 21st Century Virgins”
