when this ring is going to land on my finger?
It comes up in some part of conversation either in regards to engagement or marriage or whatever every day but still the ring is stashed somewhere in the house.
granted I was annoyed he forgot to do the dishes again and am feeling under the gun for a concert I have been sick preparing for but I cant help but think a little bling would go a long way here.
I know I am sounding like a needy girl but I just want it to happen. Plus I am headed into the week my mom died and I get so moody and haunted - I know his orginal plan was to eclipse one of our bad anniversaries ( like her death anniversary - this will be ten years this year.) but now I wonder if that is such a good idea. I picture myself all sloth like looking like hell, pressed for time to practice and him squeezing an earnest proposal in there? I wanted to look ravishing and be dewy eyed and happy all over. As I write that I know if I tell him this he will put off the engagement even longer. I guess I just really need the validation and reassurance the ring represents - that we are in this together for the long haul and ready to shout it from the rooftops now. Maybe I am just having a bad day but it is not even 9:30AM.
I also should mention that it does NOT help that he told my family about the ring. They all look like they are elves now waiting for their keebler cookies.
Ugh.

I'm wondering!!!!
Time's been a little precious for me lately, but I've been wondering all week if it was on your finger. Bless your heart!!!!
Thanks for the laugh.
The only thing I can lend is he's a man and I do not even pretend to understand how they work or what they are thinking City. But I'm sure in his mind he's got a great plan of action to propose to you...and to him a couple days (or, gulp, weeks) doesn't matter...he wants to play it out as he sees fit. I know, I'm not much help...but unfortunately you're at his (cute) mercy! Patience is not a virtue I excel at, so I feel for you. Try to hang in there and many positive vibes as you near some of the sad anniversaries. I lost my father 5 years ago and each year at that time it's difficult.

That's pretty much the history. :)
I am trying to be patient of course and I know youa re right that he has something planned. He mentioned something about if I had a spa I preferred today. I was like "huh?" He must think all ladies have secret spas they go to. We have been together for almost three years and I have never ever said to him " Bye hon, Im off to the SPA" but maybe this is part of my perfect proposal? If so, yeehaw seriously. I would love a spa day and you know what? I have never even had one so I am not even sure what it entails!lol I must be super tense then right?
I have such a busy week ahead. It will help distract me....
And the other thing - I almost forgot to post this. My son came and told me that SYB asked him for his permission to marry me! My heart stopped when he told me and he looked so uncharacteristically bashful telling me. I was chopping veggies for dinner and almost hurt myself. I asked him what he said and he said " I told him of course he could" So cute. He gave me a hug for a little longer than usual. :)

Not that you are questioning it but THAT is a sign of a GOOD CATCH - for sure!
