Speaking of MrZ’s mad note-writing skillz, I forgot to tell you. He coached LilZoot into giving SuzyQ a note on Friday telling her he liked her! He gave it to a friend of hers to give her before the final bell (smooth). But you know what the problem is?

I have butterflies in my stomach and am having a mild fit of anxiety wondering how it turned out! AAAHHH! What is she doing right now? Is she ignoring him? Is she smiling? Is he happy? Is he heartbroken? Did she say she liked him too? Are the other kids making fun of him? Am I going to have to kick some fourth-grader ass this afternoon?

This is a sign above all signs that I need to hurry and get pregnant already. I’m going to smother LilZoot to death during his quest for love if I dont hurry and find something to distract myself with.

Poor kid. Gotta feel sorry for the ones with the psycho moms.

I’m still a newlywed. Right? I get to be a newlywed for a whole year. That’s the rule. So I’m still a newlywed until October 25th. Well, one of the plusses of being a newlywed is I get to talk about my wedding, which is one thing I’ve rarely talked about here.

I had planned on starting September 25th and posting a wedding picture and wedding story every morning for a month. But as you can see? I was too busy making donuts.

So, I’m going to start today, and pretend like I started Saturday. Okay?

And I’ll start with the engagement.

MrZ and I had discussed getting married almost since the day we started dating. By April of 2003, we finally were ready (after dating for three years) to start shopping for rings. We had decided to “get engaged” sometime in the summer, and get married the following spring. We went shopping for rings one weekend, and had a ball doing it. I knew NOTHING about diamonds and neither did he, but we still had fun.

The next weekend I came home from traveling with LilZoot to see his Dad. MrZ handed me a piece of paper. I looked at it and it said, “Will you Marry Me? Yes/No/Maybe”. I laughed, said, “You’re so cute” and then hung it up on the fridge. We joked about stuff like that a lot, I didnt think anything of it. I just thought he was being silly.

Later, he said:
“Well, arent you going to answer it?”
“What? The note? No! Its hysterical just hanging on the fridge like that. Unanswered.”
“Um…okay.”

Even LATER, he said:
“So, you’re really not going to check the box?”
“What?”
“On the note. You arent even going to answer it?”
“Well, of course you know the answer. Everyone knows we’re getting married eventually. Its just funny to leave it like I’m thinking about it.”
“You should really check a box.”
“FINE!. Jeez…”

As I turned to the fridge to check “yes”, I turned back around and he had a ring out saying, “Then, I can finally give you this.”

AAHHH!

He was proposing to me! I thought he was being silly and he was being sweet and romantic! How horrible am I? heheh. So - that’s your First Wedding Story. And here…is your first wedding picture.

This is Zoot.
Hey Mom. Guess what?
AAHH. Its you! What? What? What?
I have a girlfriend!
Really!? She said “Yes”? How did it happen?
Well, at P.E., she told me my answer was “I Don’t Know”, but then, before the last bell rang, Cassidy started saying “I know who SuzyQ likes…She likes LilZ…” and SuzyQ kept trying to push her out the door. Then, she turned around, looked at me, smiled, and said, “It’s true”.
AHHH! That’s Awesome! Then what?
We talked.
About what?
My bass.
Your bass? What did you say to her after she admitted liking you?
I don’t know…nothin’ I guess

He’s happy, so I’m happy. Eventhough I’m incredibly confused as to how he decided she’s his girlfriend…but who am I to try to figure out fourth-grade love…

MrZ decided to show us how he made donuts when he was little. You just pop a hole out of a biscuit (from a can), fry it up, and coat with powdered sugar. And never forget to lick your fingers between each donut, the company LOVES that.

Here - the master passes on the lesson to the student. Pay attention, you are watching the transfer of brilliance people.

Someone decided to pass a little bit of gas while the donuts were cooking. But did LilZoot give up? NEVER! He trucked forward to finish the task at hand.

Don’t be fooled. I was not helping, at all. I was just enjoying the product of their hard work. Actually? At the moment this picture was taken - I do believe I may have been adding more sugar to my donut. I’m healthy like that.

The final product. They were demolished in less that eleven seconds. Yum.

And now? For the ugly-ass shirt:

Do you know what should be in my mailbox today? V: The Final Battle. Once that gets here, we will have the complete set of all DVDs related to the show V. We have seen the first mini-series and we own the TV Series, but we can’t watch it until we watch the DVD coming in the mail today. It aired after the first mini-series, but before the TV Series started. Heaven forbid we watch any of it out of order! So, if all goes well, I will be watching cheesy 80s sci-fi all weekend.

Unless I can find anyone to go see Olivia Newton John with me. If I can? I’ll take a break from V to go rock out to Ms. Newton John. Imagine! I could be watching V and seeing Olivia Newton John perform, all in one weekend! By Sunday? I could have broken all sorts of Coolness Records! Maybe I could even throw in a trip to the Skating Rink (couple skate, anyone?) tonight for good measure! Or Bowling!

Dude. There is NO WAY your weekend plans could be cooler than mine. No. Freakin’. Way.
