Thursday evening...

Okay...last night something happened that nobody would believe. My little girl, Tiffany, (21 years old...a beautician, I know, I know...), called at 11:30 pm, and said "Mom...Ricky just asked me to marry him!! He gave me a ring in a push-up (ice cream thingy)! I was so totally lost on this, that I had absolutely no idea what to say! So, I didn't say SHIT!! I just sat there with my mouth hanging open for a minute, until Tiff says, "Mom? Mom? Are you even still there??" I finally said 'well, that's neat...' she said 'aren't you happy?' And I asked her if she was, & she said yes...so I said, well if you're happy, I'm happy for you! Then she asked if Dad was here, so I called him to the phone (thankfully passing it off!). Then when he got done, he came in here to the dining room, & we talked a little...(she still lives here, so she was coming home soon). Then he went somewhere...I thought he went to lay down on the bed...so when Tiff got home, I hugged her, admired the ring, did all the appropriate stuff that moms do...she went around the corner to look for Kev, and he wasn't in the bedroom! I knew for a fact that he never went upstairs, so she went out back and there he was standing on the deck, smoking, and staring at nothing. So she went out there to talk to him, and they came back in in about a half-hour. We all sat here a little bit, then she went to bed, then Kev went to bed...and I just sat here. I still can't believe this!
