tell everyone you know

when i was a senior in college, i lived with these two boys, tom and bryan. i didn't really know them well, but we had a fun year. they like to ninja fight, balance on yoga balls, throw parties.
i forget why, but tom and i decided we should get pretend engaged. i believe it had something to do with going to the bridal extravaganza downtown and tasting cake.so he bought me a $30 ring on qvc.com [the note said 'will you marry me?'], we changed our facebook statuses to 'engaged', and that's how theyve stayed until today. that was three years ago. so now when i friend someone on facebook who doesn't know me well or who i haven't talked to in a long time, they always congratulate me and i say thanks. it's kind of a funny random thing.

anyway this is all leading up to another story. tom is in the DC area for a day and this morning we met up and went to dim sum [at david chu's uncle's restaurant, actually. david comments on my blog occasionally], which was delicious, and then we went to coffee and then we went to get manicures. yes, manicures. it was tom's idea. he's been sailing for the last 2 weeks and apparently LA has gotten to him, because he felt like his hands were in need of professional help.
so we're getting our nails filed and tom is talking about how he's flying back to LA today.
woman 1: oh, why are you in town?
tom: i'm visiting my lovely fiance, megan
woman 2: isn't that nice how he said fiance. guys never want to say that word
me (blushing like crazy): it is nice, isn't it
tom: she's blushing!

it was funny but i know i must have been bright red. anyway now i have lovely nails.

then this evening i went to dinner with my bestie, her mom, sister and one of our friends in DC. they're in town to try on bridal dresses, wooo! we went to this reaallly yummy place that's half restaurant, half book store. i had pumpkin raviolli. it was like not-so-sweet pumpkin pie filling inside raviolli with brown butter and pine nuts and sage, yummm.

then i came home to watch texas beat colorado. jordan shipley, faj and my fav player, scored on a couple of 80 & 90 yard punt returns. he is amazing.

so, fun day!

tonight on the phone mrs. chan said 'just get on a plane and come visit us'.
