They’re Engaged! They’re Engaged!

The Borkster popped the question, and he and Paula are getting MARRIED! It’s such great news, and Trevor and I are actually a part of the story!

It happened after they left us on Friday night: we went home to sleep while they went out to—honestly—play Connect Four (!) have another drink, then eat pizza and get engaged back at Greg’s house! They woke up all of the parents that night to tell them, and apparently Mr. Nichols had spent two sleepless nights wondering when it would happen! (Greg had asked for his blessing on Wednesday night, but waited 48 hours to actually ask…) So, the wedding’s on, and I couldn’t be happier to have Paula as my sister-in-law! I’ve never had a sister, and it will be very exciting to make it official (since Paula’s already been like a sister for the past three years.) But guys, is too soon to ask you to have some kids so I can guy baby toys? Yes, it probably is. I’ll wait until next year to start asking…But the wedding has been tentatively set for September 30th of this year, so we've all got to get into super wedding mode!

Other than this EXITING news, the weekend was pretty low key. Trevor and I spent our Saturday morning at Chicago Shakespeare Theater watching Macbeth, which was a bloody fun-fest. Roger Ebert was in the audience, and during the Q&A with the cast after the show, he eked in the last question about the curse of Macbeth. Pretty dull question, really, especially since the legend is explained in the program. But he got his question in, and Trevor (with a MUCH better question about the fate/free will aspect of Macbeth’s encounters with the Weird Sisters, didn’t get to ask his. Ebert, you stink!)

Well, that's all of the news on the Bork Power front! Until next time...
