Daffys!

Yesterday, I went in to the bargain store for millionaires thinking I might pick up a cute new swimsuit for the beach.

But The bikini bloomed into a high fashion proposal outfit complete with Hat (to mask my perfectly square haircut) and Shawl. I also got a sand-length, open-back black dress that ties around the neck.

This is a much more complicated ensemble than I usually wear - I went hog wild! Even my wedding dress (if all goes according to plan) is a no -frills hand me down that is short and to the point.

I hope he doesn't guess that something is up because of my outfit!

Louise!

Yikes! Almost derailed by a rock show on June 3.
I love rocking with Boro more than anything - but I must be very careful to separate Boro love from Band love.

Luckily - no more rock show - But my eyes have been opened. I must be flexible and zen! If I get too obsessed with my dream scenario, I don't leave room for other possibilities.

In my dream:

- I propose AT NIGHT Because I have an illegal FIREwork to light.

- I propose ON THE BEACH because we love taking long walks on the beach.

- He says Yes!

I really want him to say yes. I will try to roll with the punches re: the setting.

10 days!

I wrote this number called "Emergency Contact" for Boro awhile back. He loved it! I am also thinking about writing him a Will You Marry Me song. But I'm doing too much thinking and not enough writing - we're getting down to the wire!!

20/20

One wild night in late 2009, Boro went insane and ripped a twenty dollar bill in half after a rockshow. I - being a totally frugal gourmet - freaked out.

(I don't remember if the bill ripping made me bite down so hard on a piece of ice that I broke my tooth - or if the bill ripping/tooth breaking are two unrelated events that happened on the same night.)

But Boro said not to worry - with a little tape we could still use it. Maybe buy something together one day...

So I've been carrying it around ever since. Maybe June 3 will be the day!

Rings!

This morning, while sitting in my beautiful brooklyn yard admiring my new his and her engraved steel rings I thought -

Holy Smokes! My proposal date has to move to JUNE 3 because of beach front time restraints.

Boro loves the sea, so beach front proposal is the answer. Thursday June 3 we'll be on the beach with good friends - it should be just about perfect!

Babies 2!

Back in 2003, Boro and I entered the Gene Machine to find out what our future baby would look like -

We lucked out - Our girl turned out totally cute - even though her parents look a little possessed!

Boro Bora!

I won Great big in Atlantic City this weekend! I should probably take a few minutes to let my champagne dreams chill out before going crazy buying Boro fancy presents.

I'm going to bide my time by entering another contest. This one is the high rolling essay contest of my dreams- http://www.spaweek.com/wedlikeaceleb Thanks so much to Heather for sending it!

How could I lose? A honeymoon in Bora Bora? It's too perfect! It's got my name written all over it - I mean Boro's name. Plus, I'm feeling residually lucky from my stay at the 3 card poker table.

Tahiti here we come!

Babies!

One morning back in 2003 or 2004 when I was watching Evita, Boro got so mad because Madonna woke him up. JeeZ - Why does a guy gotta wake up to Evita?!

I like doing Everything with Boro, but some things freak him out - like Puppets and Evita. One of my goals is to not freak him out. As a reminder, that's how he comes up in my phone.

So this weekend I'm going to see the movie BABIES with my girlfriends - I've been wanting to see it forever. I also want to give Boro the opportunity to Not see it - Two goals met for the price of one movie ticket!

RBP

Boro and I get a lot of work done because we live so far apart. By the time Wednesday night rock band practice rolls around - our hearts have grown totally fond. True love makes the long trip to NJ seem even longer - I can't wait to Rock and Hang out with Boro!

OMG he's right there rocking right now!

Italy!

I love an essay style contest! My friend Eileen sent me this one -

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/competitions/discover_borders/

When Boro's family left the Soviet Union - they stayed in Italy for awhile before they came to the States. It would be so fun to win an Italian Honeymoon, so we could visit the land of his babyness.

Our rockband Hello, Boat is also writing a song about Marco Polo. It pretty much just goes: "Polo, polo, polo, polo, polo..." Maybe if we won a trip to Venice, we'd come up with better words!

Happy Mother's Day!

I am very happy to be following in my mother's footsteps. She proposed to my dad back in the 60's. Boro's mom proposed to Mr. Veysman back in 70's - What Hip ladies!

My mom and dad celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this year. And the Veysmans are in Italy celebrating their anniversary today!

Here are my folks Feb 28, 1970 in wedding reception chic.

Boro was his Name O - Part 2

I am totally attached to the name katy cunningham. Saying my first and last names together is hard to resist - isn't it?

Katy veysman is also cute, but not as cute as kate veysman.

A dual name change? I just don't know if it's going to fly! I would like to have the same name as Boro though. Maybe we should choose an entirely new one. I'll have to think about this one for a while longer.

Here's where I'll go to change my name for free - if I change it at all (Pending June 6th answer) http://www.namethatbride.com/

Here's this link again from the super reasonable husband!

How Am I gonna Call ya?

The old Me lost a lot of stuff - Keys and Phones in particular. The new Me loves to keep track of my belongings - it's the BEST to know where everything is all the time.

Unfortunately, on Sunday I worked an 18 hour day, and My old self got a hold of my phone and left it in a taxi. Geesh.

Boro to the rescue! He tracked my phone down like a private I. Now, I can call him whenever.

Here's us on my phone at the new Yankee Stadium. Bore and I LOVE sports, Maybe I'll ask him to marry me via Yankee Fan Marquis - Or maybe I'll ask him over the phone that I have made a commitment to never lose again!

He won!

Boro and I had a great time rocking out on Friday night! lots of money was raised for www.thealmightytalbot.com AND Bore won the Raffle!

He got a $50 gift certificate to a fancy hair salon in midtown - and since he is hair-free, he gave his prize to me! This prize couldn't have come at a better time - my hair is in Lim-BO.

Hopefully he will love my new look!
