Bling-Bling

My angelic two year old niece, a blond haired, blue eyed beautiful baby runs up to the boyfriend the other day wearing a long, plastic beaded necklace. My niece who is already extraodinarily verbal tells the boyfriend, "I'm wearing my green bling-bling." We both supress laughter and he responds, "Oh, are you wearing your bling." She indignantly corrects him, "No, it isn't bling, it is bling-bling." Who on earth taught her this??

The boyfriend and I have both lived with significant others and had it end messily. (See Letter to Psycho) We agreed since the beginning of our relationship that we wouldn't live together until at least an engagement has happened. Since we are in the process of having a house built for us, it goes to stand that an engagement is imminent. Not being of the type to pressure him or really be in any big hurry to get engaged, I have no idea when this will happen. This doesn't stop people from telling me how either they have or they would pressure him to just ask me now. Not a patient person, I've been surprisingly patient in regard to when we are actually getting engaged. But now, I've taken to asking him at least once a day where my bling-bling is. I think he is starting to get annoyed......
