possibly...He said I was either going to think "Awe that's so romantic and thoughtful" or I was going to laugh and call him a cornball.
My first guess was something dinner related, like maybe lobster. The laughing and calling him a cornball part makes me think maybe he went old school and it's a corsage or something. Do people still do those?
My first thought was that it would be meat - like some kind of delicious steak. Sooooo, clearly the romance is strong in my house.
meat is romantic in this house as well
Meat can definitely be romantic. Why wouldn't it be? Unless you're veggie, of course. Lamb shanks are particularly romantic in our house, as is smoked salmon (so fish can be romantic, too).
It's our anniversary on the 2nd, whilst we're away. So I need to get organised for the day we leave. Thanks for the reminder!
Our anniversary is on the 20th, I need to get on it and get a gift. I would love to get a lobster. But it's the leather anniversary so I bet my H will get me a purse. I have no idea what I want to get him!
Visited daycare yesterday and lo loved it as usual next week we're going to try leaving him there for an hour or two to start transitioning. He goes full time Aug. 15th.

I guess I am just not very good at this Starbucks mobile ordering thing. I went to order my coffee this morning (I made sure I picked the right store this time...), but apparently it never went through. The people gave it to me anyway. So, free coffee!

I joke that my family "takes in strays" but we often had someone living with us growing up -one of my dad's students, brother's friends, cousin, etc.
For the past year my mom has had a grad student living with her - a friend of a friend's daughter. She just graduated and got a job and is moving out Monday. She just sent me a Facebook friend request, which is kind of cute given that I've met her...one time? Twice?

We're on the leather anniversary too. I think we'll just use his Father's Day gift as our technical "anniversary" present, but we do one big gift instead of exchanging anniversary gifts. Anyways, I got him a J.W. Hulme leather duffle bag and it is very good quality...and something I could use for a weekend bag or carry-on if he's not using it. Lifetime guarantee.
H and I are planning to celebrate our anniversary tonight, although our real anniversary isn't until the 12th. We have tickets to see Louis CK tonight and he told me to expect a package to be delivered sometime today and that it needs to be put in the refrigerator...I have no idea what it is. Any guesses?
If he really loved you, wouldn't it be a giant platter of tacos?
So H finally talked to our potential real estate broker after several days of back and forth, she's coming over tonight to meet with us.
I'm nervous but super excited and really dying to get started on renovating the new house.
H's boss just used her to buy a house and highly recommended her so hopefully we like her more than our last real estate agent and mortgage broker. It sounds nice not to have to deal with 2 separate companies too!
holliberry28 the friend who is driving sounds really inconsiderate. I'd just drive myself, though I have exceptionally low tolerance for people who pull shit like that. I am an unashamed control freak, but I know myself well enough to know I wouldn't enjoy any of it if I had that worry hanging over me.
So if a wedding is "black tie optional" but at noon, I should wear a cocktail dress, right? I've always done floor length for black tie, but never had an occasion in the middle of the day...

I would still do floor length but its been a long time since I've been to a black tie optional wedding so I'm certainly not an expert.

I think that black tie optional is the dumbest so I always opt out. If you want a black tie wedding, then say black tie. Since it's daytime and I'm assuming will be one billion degrees outside, I would go nicer cocktail dress.
Note: the handful of BTO weddings I've been to were all for people who eat crackers for me which definitely colors my view.
Agree that it is so dumb. Their invitation says black tie optional and their website says "coat and tie minimum". It's in a church, so maybe she just wants to make sure people aren't showing up super casual, but I went a wedding last year in the cathedral and people were still wearing capri pants and cork wedges. Dumb people are going to dumb whether or not you dictate their clothing.
I don't have a cocktail dress that fits ATM. I do have a handful of formal gowns that fit. I just think if I wear a formal gown, I might be the only person wearing one, which seems awkward.
It's our 5th anniversary on Saturday. 5 is wood. So I think we all know what H's face looks like every time someone mentions it, lol. The reality is, it will likely be him chopping wood for the campfire haha.
3dimesdown Yeah black tie optional doesn't really make sense. I agree that it is just a means of asking people to dress up when their event isn't actually a black tie affair. I wouldn't wear a floor length formal gown.
Lol belle0720 !! I was scared to read your post because we still have a couple episodes left this season. But that's awesome!
Also, same. Except someone spoiled something for me on FB.
This reminds me, we were out last weekend, and this girl at a restaurant spoiled the same thing for husband when I was in the bathroom. He heard her talking about it, and knew she was going to spoil it. He debated asking her not to say something, but he didn't. What is the protocol in that situation?
tiffbotbeersandweirs I still have a few episodes left to watch too. I feel like if you know the person you can ask them not to spoil, but if it was a random person I wouldn't do say anything to them. My sister and her husband came over the other night and I had it on because I thought they said they had watched the whole thing. But I guess they just meant they finished the first season so they casually said, "Oh I guess we might see some spoilers," and then I clarified with them and turned it off immediately. I don't really mind if things are spoiled for me, but I don't like to be the "spoiler-er"!
When my cousin got married to her 1st husband, her invitation said "Black Tie Optional or Luau Wear". I was so confused. So, like a top hat and grass skirt? Or my coconut bra and ball skirt? Not one guest new what the hell they wanted either and everyone showed up in either jeans and t-shirts or khakis and polos. It was bizarre.

Yeah, we didn't know her, so ultimately that's why he didn't say anything. He was still annoyed, though.
I just wore a cocktail dress to the one bto wedding we went to. Most other girls did the same.
Hi. I went to the science center with my mom and nieces and LO today and I am exhausted. My mom fell on her bad knee and was whiny and complaining how the staff "treated her like a criminal," but the kids all had fun!
