  • Getting married in two weeks, and the nerves are starting to kick in. Nothing to do with the relationship, just the pre-wedding jitters that I think everyone gets. It's a big step. Not that anything will be different at all between us, it's really just signing a silly document. Just somehow feels more tangible and real now, and a little anxiety-inducing. But change is hard for most of us, even good change.

    Very exciting. This sounds like a very stable, nontoxic, loving relationship

    I suspect it WILL make a positive improvement to the relationship.
    Nothing says “I love you, happy Valentine’s Day!” like getting up at the crack of dawn and sharing a giant bowl of tater tots… at least the bowl is festive!

    Random thought for the day: The way I hear my own voice in my head (internal monologue) and the way it sounds when I actually speak, are completely different. Anyone else experience this?

    I used to sound like an American! :eek::eek::eek:
    Too many American TV shows in my youth, I guess.
    I am not sure if this is still the case. 🤔

    Because I've been recording music near continuously for the past nearly 10 years, I've gotten used to how my voice sounds. It is very weird to hear a prepubescent version of myself though: I found old tapes I recorded of myself back then, and it sounds so strange.

    The way my voice sounds to me when I speak (not my internal monologue, but when I actually physically speak out loud) is totally different from what others hear. It has got me in trouble before since sometimes my out loud voice is misinterpreted to imply something I did not intend. Some people say it's a mix of working class NYC and northern Arkansas, as if Tony Soprano lived in Fort Smith, Ark., for a decade. lol
    It's 11pm on a Wednesday night and we're just managing to make dinner now! You'd think we'd been doing something a lot more exciting than hanging out at the library, and shoveling the driveway...

    It's a sign of maturity, being able to focus on the things that are important to you instead of worrying about what your peer group might think.

    Shoveling snow is an amazing work-out, gyms should offer that. :)
    Will never pass up an opportunity to add a Pointer statue to our collection... Enzo's twin was well worth the $$

    These candle sconces were a great find too, and everything in this photo is secondhand/thrifted!

    Enzo....."Golden Boy".....:cool:

    Though he bears no resemblance to William Holden..:p.
    One of those slow days where it feels a lot later than it is (a little past 10pm here.)

    ...And 24 hours later, same story. Although we played a hockey game today and won 3-1!
    Rest of the day was boring, worked, and went to the library. But life is usually pretty much the status quo all the time living in the middle of nowhere. It's peaceful, at least.

    That's beautiful, peaceful is a bonus. l did go to a tiny restaurant tonite, and we were so thankful for the family of chef's, and their two cute kids hanging out. We beat the Valentines crowd on Sat.

    Tiny restaurants are always the best. We are regulars at our local diner.

    Really nice that the chefs bring their kids to work!
    Hi, not planning on staying for very long, just wanted to pop back in and say hi :) It's been two and a half years lol.
    A lot has changed... I'm getting married on March 1st to my boyfriend, Pekka, who I bought a house with in November. We live way out in the countryside now. I still have Enzo. Most of my dogs have sadly passed on, or had to be rehomed because of life circumstances. We now have cats and farm animals.
    Hey Luca! I see it’s your birthday today. Happy bday! I hope you have a fun time and make some awesome memories. :shortcake:

    I'm glad Enzo is doing well. l met a neighbor with a collection of cats, love going over, and visiting her fur family. l am living with a guy currently.
    Luca
    Luca
    So happy for you! And yes, cats are great. I love mine too.
    Hey Luca, I hope you come back soon! We all love and miss you. I hope you are okay and return soon.

    Maybe she is enjoying herself. She seemed most at peace with her new partner. So happy for her.

    We will have to compose a little diety named Luca, build a little temple, and post dog pictures. :)

    Lol yes I'm ok. Just went through a LOT of changes and a lot of growing up in the last few years of my life, and don't even feel like the same person anymore.
    Thank you everyone for reaching out. I've missed you guys and hardly stopped thinking about any of you <3
    Definitely going to go back to the dark brown hair. Blonde ombre does make me look more sophisticated, but I'm not ready to look (or feel) like a grownup yet. I know I complain all the time about people thinking I'm a teenager, but the old "you don't know what you've got until it's gone" adage applies here.

    That wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to someone lol. Sometimes I envy my dogs' lives.

    If a good human then yeah being a dog isn't so bad. I'm sure Enzo is very happy with his life with you.
    I spent most of yesterday in bed not feeling well, so today is going to have to be productive. I'm always in over my head and overwhelmed with tasks. People have told me that I don't know how to relax and stop overworking myself, and that's probably true. It's hard to unlearn it though when you were raised by overbearing, perfectionist parents in a society that values productivity and work ethic.
    Finally caught up on private messages. Better late than never, I guess, but I'm sorry for not getting back to everyone right away. I'm not feeling great today either but at least I had time to sit down and reply. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, but sometimes I'm really burned out after making a thread or writing a long post and a pile of messages is daunting lol
    Interesting how much more mature I look with different hair, glasses, and clothes. I’m no longer a “young” adult, whether I like it or not…

    What? Omg. No. You are you. Don't let clothes determine who you are. Because of you, l totally changed my look. I am wearing a Wednesday wig, and a cute romper. Just because. When we don't want to have fun anymore, then we should just move to retirement home. :)
