So I mentioned that I was starting to think about how I would go about proposing to my girlfriend of 5 years on my wishlist.

My giftee may have spoiled the surpise by sending me a book called "How To Propose Without Screwing It Up"

I didn't see the box that came in until I saw her opening and pulling out the book. Then she just looks up and asks me (in front of my parents who I had not talk to about this yet) "Who is sending you books on how to propose?"

So much for doing any kind of surprise there.

Oh well, actually my giftee was awesome because they also sent me all sorts of New England Patriots gear as well, including a long sleeve t-shirt, a blanket, and a toothbrush(? /shrug) which are all great.

Even though it kind of spoiled the surpise it got us all talking about it pretty casually and it all worked out pretty well. Only downside is I got sucked into ring shopping for like 4 hours afterwords. Ack.
