Wed 1 Aug 2007
I drove up to Mr. W’s place this evening and saw him standing outside aiming his camera at something small in his hand. His next-door neighbor and fellow photography fan was holding a giant sheet of white cardboard-looking thing up against the subject. For lighting, I suppose. Mr. W then played with his photos on his computer while I watched TV and ate some wheat pasta and watched “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Simpsons” on TV. Finally, I was called into his room where he asked whether the fruits of his labor were blogworthy. So at the risk of looking braggy, I’m posting his work.
Hey look, free advertising for the Lakhi Group’s Pristine Hearts collection! There is surprisingly little information online about this line.
I think my favorite photos are the undoctored ones, #1 and #3. But if you look at #4, his nice camera’s zoom is so powerful that you can actually see the outline of the heart inside the stone.
Great job with the camera Mr. W!! You’re not far from Hollywood ya know if the biz your in gets too stressful.
Cindy–that’s a ring you’ll NEVER get tired of looking at. Does it have a matching wedding band with diamonds or is it a platinum band?
Awww! That is a lovely ring! π
Flat Coke – It may have a matching band, but it wasn’t on display with the ring at the shop. Their website is dismayingly uninformative as to inventory, so I may end up just getting a random band that I like. I’m concerned about the diamonds at the front of this ring scratching up whatever band is sitting in front of it, tho.
Vanessa – Thanks! Unusual, huh?
wow—it’s really beautiful.
i read your prior entry but it must have just totally been over my head. plus, i figured, if anything really significant happened, i would get a call. π
I did call you yesterday, but we never got to it. Besides, there’s still nothing to announce. Hasn’t happened yet.
Since it hasn’t happen yet, do he give yout eh ring or waiting for the right time?
I could hold the ring for you… if you want..
til he asks you to marry him…
π
very nice
Vanessa – nope, he had the ring when he was taking pictures of it before I got to his house, and after he came in, the ring disappeared.
Jordan – ya know, we actually seriously discussed that. the ring has its own drama.
so pretty! also you mentioned you can’t upload pics online anymore? actually you still can. just login first, then you will see an upload tab appear and you can upload from any computer that way.
Mel, I tried to upload w/o downloading the dropbox program, but it still wanted me to download some .exe file and then it froze up my computer. Mr. W went ahead and downloaded the dropbox program onto his laptop and uploaded the photos for my use. I’m not comfortable downloading .exe files onto my work computer cuz they get pretty upset when we install programs and stuff.
Ok.. deal. I’ll hold it!
That is an amazing ring..
L.U.C.K.Y
Maybe someday for me again…..
somehow
Jordan – I need to post or email you about the ring drama. We actually did mention you as a possible savior in the dilemma.
no just do step 2 and do a webload, don’t download the dropbox. but webload only works for photos, not video.
i just uploaded a pic using web load and didn’t need an exe. hrm, maybe you found a weird bug? i clicked on webload “upload pic”, selected a pic , and then clicked “select” and it was loaded.
This is my inaugural voice on your blog. The shroud of mystery unfurled. I want to say something about this ring and about you.
First and foremost, this ring is unique. It is as unique as you are to me. It has many diamonds and many unique facets that cause a heart to appear in the middle. The heart is a symbol of my love. Your many facets are unique too, and they cause my heart to appear as my love for you.
Your humor is a unique facet in that some do not get it, but I do and I laugh.
Your silly playfulness is a precious facet not seen by some unlucky others, but I am lucky and get to see it and play along.
Your intelligence is a prominent facet that most people know, and I have a deeper understanding of you because of it.
Your devotion and faithfulness to what is right and true is beyond reproach, and I will echo that.
It is these facets and more that make me love you and make me grateful that you love me.
I also think we have many great and unique facets to our love. We communicate exceptionally well, even when we donΓ’β¬β’t agree. We always want to be together whenever and wherever the other is. We can foresee future hurdles but are confident of defeating them, knowing our love is that strong.
I can no longer see a future without you in my life. *on one knee, typing* Therefore, in front of you and your friends, on your Blog now, I am asking you, will you marry me? *holding breath waiting*
*holding breeath waiting, too!!!!*
Oh my gawd…. the first time Mr. W ever comments and it’s a proposal!!!! My eyes are tearing up!
Is he in front of you?
What did you say?
Did you cry?
HELLO?!?!
IT GOT BUSY ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!! WAAAHHH!!!
Mr. W – Welcome to my blog. Hello. And YEEESSSS!!!!! =) =) =D I hope you haven’t suffocated! I’m sorry! It got cRaZy in here all of a sudden! …hmm. I doubt you’re there, I’m sure you’ve been at the gym for the past half hour. I’ll just see you there! YAAAAYYY!!!
Vanessa – I hope YOU didn’t suffocate either! He’s not in front of me. I’m sure he’s at the gym. YAAAYYY!!! π
What a beautiful proposal! How appropriate for ME! YAAAAAAYYYY!!!
Does this mean I don’t need to make any phone calls cuz you did it online?
oh my God.
I want to marry you guys too… can we be a 3 married’some?
I love that you finally came here Mr. W (well, actually typed/commented here) and said such personal things in front of the world, most particularly, US, to our beloved Cindy.
sniff…
Where did the words go? They’re blurry..
I just knew this was going to happen. How, when .. where… I had no clue..
Cindy, officially sisterhood me already so I don’t have to keep calling you my sister in jest..
I am SO coming to this wedding.
I am so happy (for you both)
ps.
Mr. W… are you still alive?
I noted that you sent that post at 11:16 and Cindy didn’t respond until 12:04. I know you are in good physical shape, but holding your breath for over 40 minutes isn’t good for you..
I guessed that this was revolving around Cindy moving in with you.. and living in sin, but secretly I just knew there was going to be a proposal somewhere… and I didn’t want to jinx it.
Wowowow, ok I step away from blogging for a few weeks and look at what happens!!!!!!! I had to sneak away from lunch a little early to hop in and see whats going on! Congratulations!
Cindy CONGRATS!!!!!
I text message James telling him to take a “bathroom break” to check your blog!
Awwww…. That is too cute!!!!
Congratulations Cindy (and Mr W)!!!!
Jordan – How do I officialize the sisterhood? Maybe we can hug it out. *HUG!!* Haha, thanks for caring enough not to jinx us! =)
James – I know! That just goes to show, I’m worth visiting on a regular basis! =)
Vanessa – I got your text message to me, too, to check my own blog! Haha! Thanks for looking out! =)
K – Thank you! =)
Smiles all around! =) Thanks for all the congrats!! =)
Wow, congratulations! And through the blog too!
Wow!
I’m floored
TurboTiger – I’m floored too! I guess I can no longer make the joke that people on my blog must think he’s made-up. haha!
I can attest Mr. W is as real as is his love and devotion to Cindy.
I am just glad she followed her heart instead of analyzing the situation.
π
wow i guess i am super late to find out!!! congrats! sooooooo romantic!!!!!!! the perfect proposal for u for sure!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I thought Mr. W’s proposal was the sweetest thing!!! And I love that he is now officially apart of the blogging world…you MUST join us now!!!
I really wish I could come to the wedding…there is a wedding, right?
Congrats to you both…wishing you both LOTS of happiness and many love filled days together.
co-worker: true that! she’s the analyzer of analyzers!!
but we love her.. oh yes we do
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I got teary at Mr. W’s speech. YAAYYY!!!!
WOW!!! ok, so i’m a day late, but i was able to re-live the moment!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! how exciting!!!
Co-worker – thanks for the testament! But if more people analyzed things like ME instead of blindly going with their heart, you and I can go home earlier each day. (BTW, my divorce basket WAS empty for the past couple days, but NOW there’re 3 in there again. *sigh*)
Mel – you’re not super-late! like 6 hours, that’s 1/4 of a day! I totally think it’s the perfect proposal for me, too. π
Flat Coke – Mr. W joining the blogging community? Haha. You guys will likely never hear from him again. Yeah, no wedding date set, I’m thinking years. But you’d be on the invite list!
Jordan – and she loves YOU!
PL – aww, thanks! He’ll be happy to hear how well he did and how he caused so many tears!
(Cousin) Jen – Haha, I’m happy you were able to relive the moment with me!
Congrats Cindy, I wish the two of you all the best in the world
P.S you should invite K to the wedding π
Thomas – Thanks! Did you want me to invite K so that you could sneak in as her date? haha, j/k
