I am in need of birthday foo, especially since my departure from here is sort of iminent. I'm just feeling unmotivated to plan something. I'll figure it out.

Mom is unsympathetically amused about our iminent arrival in New York tomorrow. I'm sure she's not nearly as stressed as I am about it.

I'm curious as to what the bedroom arrangements will be. My Mom has always had very strict rules about my sister and I having boys in the house (don't ask about girls please...we never really did get that one straightened out.) No boys upstairs, period, no questions asked. If you had a boy over, you stayed outside, or downstairs, or in the basement. And the door stayed open. No discussion. When there were boys at the house overnight, the rule was separate bedrooms. Usually boys downstairs in the guest room, and you, upstairs in your own bedroom. And I've always (mostly...I have done my share of making out/sneaking around) respected the rules about it. But I'm wondering, now that we've gotten engaged, what's going to happen. Is it going to be separate bedrooms til we get married? My childhood bedroom is too small for anything larger than a twin bed. What then?

It's all curious.

I've got to see what works; I had been thinking about Memorial Day weekend, but many of the people I'd like to see are going to be out of town, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I do want my birthday to include froofroo girly drink though.

Sounds like my parents. Growing up, if boys came over, they stayed downstairs, in the living room, in the yard, and if on the slight chance we had to go upstairs (to get to the computer, what have you), the door had to be wide open. No arguments.

When my fiance wanted to visit my parents in China to ask for my father's approval (my hand in marriage), my father still said: "no boys are to stay in our house!" Sheesh. So at least your fiance gets to sleep over-- mine still isn't allowed to.

My parents live about two or three hours from where he does, and we have an 11 AM appointment for wedding sites. They're reasonable people, and while I will respect whatever my mother decides are appropriate sleeping arrangements, it will be an interesting boundary to negotiate.

Plus the thought of not sleeping in my own bedroom, the one that's been mine since birth is kind of freaky. I've done it for short periods of time, when I've been sick and whatnot, but still...it's my room, it's always been my room.

It's a strange feeling, letting go that way.

When we went to visit Stephen's parents the last time he stayed in his childhood bedroom and I stayed in his sisters room. When we go back this summer, it will be the first time since the wedding and we will have the same room. It will be weird.
