@K, Thank you! I have almost everything and am picking up some backup dog food tonight. I’m really just worried about the wind because there’s a tree in front of my house.
Thoughts to everyone in the way of these storms a’brewin! Hunker down with food, evac when they tell you, and stay safe!
@alafair, Ah! Okay, I figured your comment meant ‘love,’ but for me I read it in another way too 😛
I can only imagine the shock of that situation, considering, as you said, you have been married twice before. So the replay of those feelings for another person are all coming back. I hope you are able to say it to him soon!
I am in Raleigh. The storm’s new trajectory shows it hitting my parents worse than here, so my evacuation plan is shot. Maybe my man friend and I can ride out the storm together now.
Good luck @shakeourtree and @LadyE. We’ll be thinking of you!
@Cleopatra_30…I can barely say it to ME right now lol. Never been here, took great care before to not be that open. In other news…the AG put in an offer on the house that we video walked through. Looks like it’s being accepted so I REALLY hope he likes it when he gets back. I can’t imagine spending Westside LA cash on a house I’ve never seen in real life! I’m going to feel so so gui’lty if he doesnt like it when he gets back.
@alafair There’s no rush to say it. Five months in, I don’t think it’d be weird to do so, but it also hasn’t been so long that you haven’t said it aloud yet. I’ve only told two guys I love them. The first, I was younger, he was my first serious relationship, we said it after a couple months of dating but had been friends for a long while prior. Second guy, I think it took about eight or nine months to say it.
I think I may have mentioned on this thread that I’ve become friends with the women who adopted my dog’s siblings? Anyway, one is getting married tomorrow and she invited us to come by her reception for drinks/dancing. She’s been telling us this for months but I think we all thought, well she’s just being polite (or at least I did), so we didn’t solidify the plan until today. BG is coming with me and I’m excited to not be the ninth wheel of that group for once – ahaha. Marginally related, I’d like to get the bride + groom a gift since I’ll be going — what’s appropriate in this instance? I was going to find something on the registry and bring a card tomorrow.
It took me about two years to tell my husband I loved him and I think I had too much wine and denied it (jokingly) later. We did more of a get to know each other thing and dated more casually simply due to him not being in the state at the time. Once we got serious though we pretty much immediately married. Go figure. I really wasn’t interested in being with anyone let alone falling in love with someone. Obviously glad I did.
And tomorrow we are back together after over a month apart. Counting the hours.
@Copa, I would do something relatively modest from the registry and a card. I don’t mind a casual B-list invite to someone’s wedding, weddings are fun, but I wouldn’t write them a $200 check.
Funny but perhaps appropriate gift for dog mom, matching pjs for mom, dad and dog. They make them and I got them for my mom for Xmas, it was funny and cute. Of course registry is always good but could be cute due to how you know her.
I totally asked my sister for matching PJs for me and my dog for Christmas last year. Still mildly disappointed she didn’t deliver. One of the dog moms has a matching bathrobe with her dog. Hahaha. Anyway, I’d rather just get something off the registry, mostly unsure if it’s okay to hit a lower price point since I’m only invited to the tail end of the reception.
@Copa – I think it’s fine to go with the lower price point! Also, I didn’t know matching PJs with dogs was a thing. I think I’m going to need some of those! Of course that would give my daughter and husband something to make fun of me about but I absolutely don’t care.
