Hi Michele!
Things here are kind of slow. I’m in one of those moods where I have a million ideas for the Angel site; I like those moods.
Today, I am wearing my new Wonderbra; part of my Birthday Treat Collection. It’s really comfortable; I am a big fan of the Wonderbra. In the words of Jay Leno: "(The Wonderbra) is better engineered than the space station Mir."
I think I am losing some of my fire for Randy. :*( Out of sight, out of mind and all that. Oh well. I’ll still drive by the police station whenever I can. 
That bald guy site experience was great! It’s nice that you encouraged that guy. What have we always been saying: unhappiness is wanting what you do not have. If that guy spent every day detesting that he was bald, then he’d certainly be miserable. If I may be so bold: what exactly did you write in their guest book?
On the subject of VCR timing: the first time I ever tried to tape something was the season finale of Beauty and the Beast. I did like you: set it to record from 7:00 to 7:01! I never have seen the season finale of it either. We didn’t have a VCR at that time; we rented one solely for me to tape that show. Right after that, Dad liked having the VCR so he bought one along with a ton of Elvis movies.
Buffy didn’t exactly give me nightmares, per se. The bad demon guy was very ugly but not unbearable. It was more what Buffy’s crew specifically Willow was doing. During the spell to bring Buffy back, Willow (the one doing the chanting) coughed up a snake. (Repeat: coughed up a snake.) It was "a test from Osiris." Very very weird episode. It’s not usually nearly so weird: I’ll be glad for it to return to normal soon. Did I tell you that one of our piddly little local stations is actually showing the syndicated Buffy eps? That means I’ll get to see the ones I’ve missed: essentially seasons 1 through 4.
Oh yes - the test. I feel very good about it! I kind of hate that: I’ll be surprised when I see that D. Seriously, I think I did well. It was on the first four chapters and chapter six of "Structural Analysis." We were supposed to calculate the loads on a wood deck of a given size, the forces in the members of a truss bridge when a load is applied, etc. I thought it was a pretty straightforward test, but we were all still working ten minutes after class was supposed to end.
As I read what you wrote about your future husband wanting God’s guidance, I thought, "That is exactly what I want too!" A man that will truly understand about waiting until marriage; I dream of a man that is waiting for marriage himself. One guy I used to date used to say, cynically, "If you find a thirty year old man that’s a virgin, there’s something wrong." I remember thinking, "That sounds pretty good to me! Nothing wrong there." But like you said, what are the chances of finding such a man. (I bet there would be a lot of women who want him as well!)
I’ve also heard people claim that if you wait, the honeymoon night will be awkward. For one thing, I agree with you: it will be anything but awkward! It’ll be beautiful and special and wonderful because it’s the right thing. I’ve also thought before of the flip side: what if you married someone you have already slept with? Exactly what would be special about the honeymoon? I mean, if they’ve already done the deed, I guess on the honeymoon, such a couple could go to Mexico or something. Sarcasm here: ooh, Mexico - instead of the beautiful, wonderful, gratifying experience of their first night together after waiting for so long for the right time.
That’s it for today. It’s almost time to go home: woo hoo! Talk to you soon!
God bless us all, every one!
Anne
