Jumping in to say that my cousin from Milwaukee was visiting last year and we had Mexican food with my parents. He had never eaten an enchilada before and I had to explain what it was. Which blew my mind. (I’m in CA and Mexican food is so easy to find plus I love it so…) Needless to say, I’m really enjoying this thread, and I also used to go to Olive Garden with my grandmas when they were alive (many years ago) so I think back on it fondly. Gotta love the breadsticks!
I’m super late to this lovely party! But I have to say, my sister just had a baby this past sunday, exactly 3 weeks before her actual due date. No complications, the baby just decided he was ready to come early. I think if I were in Tom’s shoes, sure I’d be disappointed to miss the wedding, but 3 weeks is cutting it close and I’d defer to the wife’s wishes.
Aw, Kare, I’m so sorry! Sending you hugs and best wishes.
Aw Mark! I had a blast too! You are my tiki bar-cable car companion. 🙂
I’m also having a really crappy day (week actually) so this makes me feel good. 🙂
Kare, thanks!! I’m happy my costume worked, considering it didn’t take much effort. 😛 I liked yours as well! Very cute. Also, your fwb is very handsome- he definitely doesn’t look “middle aged!”
Also, I would be really uncomfortable being at that lunch with your coworker. Talk about TMI. Work is not the place for stuff like that unless you’re really close with certain people, and even then, I’d talk about it *outside* of work with them… I totally would have the same policy as you, if I was in the same situation.
@Kare and Veritek- I’ll be sure to put something on Instagram! Veritek, I love A League of their Own! That’s such a good idea!!
Kare, what are you planning to be for Halloween?
I’m going to a Halloween party that is literary themed. As in, dress up as your favorite children’s lit character. Apparently there are going to be a few Harry Potter characters there. I am going as Nancy Drew. I’m just going to wear a 60’s era dress I made and do my hair in a flip. I also bought a big magnifying glass. So, simple, and something not super easy to guess. 🙂I also have plans to go on a date next week with a new guy- I’m actually looking forward to it! I’m staying cautious but optimistic.
Ktfran, that’s a great story you shared on the main page! 😀
Copa, I totally know that feeling. It’s hard to put past negative experience aside and just take people at their word. I’ve totally been there! For your sake, I hope he’s not ghosting. And if he is? Well, that’s a cowardly way to end things, and I wouldn’t want to be with someone like that anyway. Pshh!
Congratulations Ktfran!!! That’s awesome!! 😀
Copa, what makes you think he’s ghosting? That really does suck, even though you were casual. After 2-3 months, I’d at least want some sort of break up email/call/etc.
I recently bought these in burgundy- they’re really cute, not clunky!

Eta: I bought the 3″ heel but they also come in 2″ too!
Ange, I *totally* agree with you, and I know I tend to be pretty nice when dating when I don’t really need to. It actually occurred to me that he probably met someone else. But I also try to give people a little bit of the benefit of the doubt- especially when, in this case, I knew how intense his grad program is. And we were going out on proper dates! Which were really fun! So yeah. But I wrote him off and then when he reappeared I totally side-eyed it and put him off until it was actually convenient for me. And come to find out, he was really only interested in one thing. Oh well!
MissDre- yeah, that’s where I figured that was going, so I really wasn’t surprised when he pushed it that direction. I had no expectations going into it. I had suggested meeting at a coffee shop, but he said he’d come to my place instead. My main issue was more that he just assumed that nothing would be different from when I saw him last, which was almost 1.5 months ago.
