Striking gold!

So my dearling fiance once worked with this guy named Ben Coleman. Have you watched "America's Toughest Jobs" yet? Yep, he's the carpenter with the dreads. Jonathan sent me an excited text message, "The show Ben's in is on tonight!" I decided to set the DVR and save it for him. My poor lovie does not have cable at his own apartment. I will tell you, in person, Ben does not seem so babyfaced. I was taken aback a wee bit. Maybe I just get distracted by those dreads. He's really such a sweet, nice guy in real life. Root for him to win! Anywho. This item of the day is in Ben's honor, who today was debuted as a prospector! He and his competition were in Alaska panning for gold!
So what you need is a gold panning kit. http://www.goldfeverprospecting.com/gopakitdeset.html It's about $50 but come on, it's deluxe! Now, I didn't watch the whole episode, because I'm still feeling lousy and have every intention of sleeping once I'm done updating for you fine people. But when I left Ben wasn't doing so well with finding gold. Let's hope he does better and comes up with a fabulous nugget. :)

I have a secret.

I do, and it's a lovely secret. For quite some time I've referred to my boyfriend as my fiance because we did indeed decide between ourselves that we are going to get married. Yesterday he told me a secret. I'm not supposed to tell yet. He's got to do something "official" before I can tell you what the secret is. But I won't need this item of the day in about 3 weeks time:

The 2-carat cup ladies and gentlemen! http://www.perfectwedding.com/fm-fd-2ccp.html Available in gold or platinum depending on where you purchase it! For about $15, it's a coffee mug and instead of a handle, it has a gargantuan engagement ring attached to it. Yup. In about 3 weeks I don't need the cup anymore... But I can't tell you what my secret is yet!
