isthisit-itis, that is.

so i had a planned visit with the boy last week and a few days before i left, his best friend, who is chomping at the bit for us to get engaged, inadvertantly planted the isthisit-itis bug in my head. even though i KNEW we weren't getting engaged that trip [and we didn't, much to her dismay, lol], i still couldn't help but wonder for a brief moment. thankfully i was able to push it out of my mind before it did any real damage!

has someone else ever infected you with isthisit-itis?

the women here who keep saying i'll get engaged around christmas or valentine's day.. i've gotten that from soooo many people including my mom!!! while it sounds great, i am thinking my birthday because well i'd be a nervous friggin' wreck lol!!!

@crebre80, lol, i'm sure i was one of those cheerleaders as well!

but i know how it goes, pretty much everyone besides me and the boy think EVERY visit we have will be THE VISIT. i don't know how much more those people can take. i'm starting to think they would try to make us engagement chicken soon!

@fuschiasparkles and lolaj, i wish there was a way to get everyone else to calm down! that's been my issue too!

@tea: i'm making the e-chicken for  thanksgiving again ;) along with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, dressing, some sweets, lol...

@everyone who gives me isthisit-itis: tee hee i sometimes wonder if y'all can see things that i am not seeing or don't see... like sometimes i read other folks posts and the hints are VERY obvious to me but that person seems oblivious so i wonder if i can't see the hints because i'm here?! i did buy myself a rice cooker yesterday (on sale for five bucks) so i know i won't get the rice cooker, perhaps i'll get a stand mixer that i wanted instead... or something like that.. so those of you that were thinking of the rice cooker with the ring in it i messed that up, but i mean fice bucks?! it would have been gone you know?!

The summer when I was living in Chicago, I thought that the Dude was going to propose to me when he visited for my birthday. OK, more like I WANTED him to, but realistically I didn't really think he was.  My roommate at the time kept talking about how he was going to propose to me when he came, blah blah blah.  For some reason, I believed him, and it really got in my head!  So I was pretty dissappointed when he didn't propose, and then I had to spend the next 3.5 weeks away from him.  :(

@knelly: i totally agree with everyone else!! lmao i'm one of those posters as well :P i think you are going to be one of the graduates!

@jaxx: lmao!! belle's story about putting it on a tree garnered very cute grins from him.. so who knows!! i still think it'll be my bday! and honestly around my bday i'll think next christmas, just so i will be totally surprised.. but i am honestly wondering which rings he has narrowed down to his faves, i mean he won't even tell me if i have sent him the pictures or if he found them... but i loved how intent he was when i was showing him the purple stone, it was like really?! omg he's really thinking about it OMG!! lol!!

@jaxx: lol i know right?! i mean i would LOVE that!! my mom has the most beautiful christmas tree ever! i'll take pictures.. it's like 12 feet tall and it looks like a display in a department store.  i love sitting there in front of it and the fire and watching christmas movies and anyone who knows me will know that it's the perfect time because it's my FAVORITE day of the year and it has nothing to do with gifts...

@carebear: I WOULD KILL HIM. i teased yesterday and twisted an elastic band around my finger and told him now all you have to do is ask, the ring isn't important to me at all. and he just laughed and changed the subject.

@91011bride, haha, hopefully the itis won't get too bad for you!

sometimes i feel like it's cheating because i know we won't be getting engaged anytime soon either which is why i haven't joined any of the challenges but this was the first time i ever got that itch!

I have the itis right now. I know that he is planning on proposing by Christmas so anytime within the next month could be the day. I hope that it is sooner than later because I am so ready to spend my life with him.

@truegem: awww how sweet. i bet he's definitely planning something to knock your socks off...

I have a feeling I'm going to be doing this the WHOLE time I'm with J in January and February... unless he proposes at the airport. Which ... I kinda hope he doesn't. I'd kind of like SOME leadup time. :)

I'm a little worried that he feels like we have to get engaged before January 14 when we go up to meet see our parents for a weekend, because he knows I want to book our venues that weekend; is there a kosher way for me to tell him we don't need to be technically engaged to book venues? Without scaring him off or totally destroying the Christmas Challenge?

@DD: use the board, say something like you know what one of the girls on the board booked her venue and she wasn't engaged yet i think that was soo cool and takes the pressure off of everyone...

@crebre, clever, and only slightly deceptive! me likee!

@DD: lol!!!!

Awe.. thanks Crebre!

@waterprincess, man with those hints i'm getting the "itis" for you! i hope it is!
