Taking Bets: When Will Gwen and J Get Engaged?

[EricaR]

And 3:42 my time.

I don''t have a pitchfork though. Would a bag of dirty cat litter work?

 

[FrekeChild]

Probably better than a pitchfork. A catapult comes to mind... I bet I could scrounge up some dirty hamster bedding too....

 

[EricaR]

K has a mini catapult that sits on his desk. He uses it to launch cat toys across the room. I''ll bet we could use that to launch hamster bedding at J!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Think it'll make it to London or should we wait until he reaches the states?

Hmmm...

(Psst Gwen, you may want to say about 50ft away from J until we get the kinks worked out...)

 

[choro72]

And I''ll be hopping in Freke''s shoe with my shovel!

 

[EricaR]

Maybe we can put it on a mini raft and float it over there, then set up a remote control release to let it fly!!!

GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG, this could so work!!!!!

 

[EricaR]

OK, here is the plan!!!

I''ll bring the catapult
Choro will bring the shovel
Freke will bring the dirty hamster bedding

Somewhere we''ll dig up a raft and a remote control release for the catapult.

Choro can shovel the bedding while trying to keep her balance in one high heel. Freke can make the hamster go to the bathroom enough to keep our dirty bedding supply full. And I''ll be in charge of the remote release. I wonder where we can get a boat or raft fast enough to make this an effective tactic. Plus, do we even know if they live near the ocean? A mini plane might work better.

 

[FrekeChild]

Maybe a helicopter?

We need something incognito...

A HOVERCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[choro72]

*Starts push ups and Karate Kid training for the digging*

WOO! Hovercraft! We should have a practice session.

 

[FrekeChild]

Whatcha doin'' tomorrow Choro?

 

[EricaR]

Ohhh, like the one from the Orbitz commercial! They come in to return people''s money on a hovercraft. Since they aren''t using it for their commercials anymore we can use it to fly our little hamster poop throwing catapult.

Freke, you had a brilliant idea for once. Not nearly as great as my "cat flea collars for t-gals daughter" idea, but still pretty good.

 

[FrekeChild]

Well nothing beats the cat flea collars for TGal''s daughter (you should patent that) but I try.

Hmmm...speaking of hamster poop throwing catapults...my hamster is ready and willing to go forth and make ammunition. (I hear him eating his food pellet...)

 

[choro72]

I''ll be at the airport trying to go through security with a shovel. What about you? How do we coordinate?
You should feed your hamster something with tons of flavor to spice up our weapon

 

[EricaR]

Choro - what a GREAT idea!

Freke - think you can get him to eat a combo of garlic and Tabasco???

 

[FrekeChild]

On it! Garlic, Tobasco and a little rum to get things nice and...nevermind.

Fantastic ideas ladies!!!

 

[EricaR]

All of my ideas are fantastic. Haven''t you learned that yet about me?!?!

Helloooooo Gwen! Are you OUT THERE? We need news. NEED IT!

 

[FrekeChild]

So isn't it 8:42 AM over across the pond? Are you sleeping in or what?!

ETA: that just means that I really REALLY need to go to bed.

 

[choro72]

She must be delayed because she''s crying tears of joy right now

My head gives up; bed time.

 

[FrekeChild]

'night choro! We shall hopefully wake up to good news tomorrow and retire such plans involving hovercrafts, pitchforks, hamster poo, catapults.

OR ELSE.

 

[EricaR]

J needs to be afraid, very very afraid because really, we know our idea will work perfectly!!!

I need to go to bed soon, and when I wake up Gwen better have a ring!

 

[gwendolyn]

Hahaha! Oh you know it's true, Freke baby. I want your cupcakes, so badly I can't stand it. Rowr!!

Ok, teeny tiny update--it's 9:26am here in London and NO, not engaged yet, BUT last night as we were going to bed, I asked J if he had any idea of what he wanted to do today, and he first was like, "er, um, I'm not sure" and then, jokingly, he said (this will only make sense to those who've read my last update about his girlie coworkers) "I'm taking you to the London Eye."

Sounds to me like code for, "I'm proposing tomorrow," don't you think?!!!

Eeeee!!!! So excited!! Woke up grinning this morning. Had some snuggles in bed, but I've left him to get a bit more sleep because a) he worked TONS this week and didn't sleep much, and b) had to fill all my crazy chickies in on what's happenin'! Not that it's much yet, but I think it's a-comin'!

'Course, if it doesn't, you may have to meet us at the airport on Wednesday to kick the crap out of him.

Yay! Can't wait for the rest of today!

 

[Po10472]

Oh G, you must be so excited.

hope you have a wonderful day!!

I''m sure you''ll update everyone.

 

[KatyWI]

YAY GWEN!!!

Come on J, it''s PROPOSAL DAY!!! (I''m a poet and I damn well know it.

)

WRIGGLEFEST 2009 CONTINUES....

 

[meresal]

NOW!! NOW!! NOW!!

The London Eye... tee hee hee

 

[ladypirate]

Get back here with the news that you''re engaged! It''s probably already happened by now!!!!



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!****************WRIGGLES***************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[princesss]

Add me to the list of people who will be meeting you at the airport if you don''t end up soon. It''s my monthaversary, dangit, and I want my present to be J proposing! Yup, I''ve made up my mind. If he doesn''t (didn''t?) propose tonight, it will be a great insult and the only way to rectify it is....WAR. Or more sparklies. But probably WAR!

 

[FrekeChild]

ARE YOU ENGAGED YET?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[mrscushion]

Wriggle!
