Weddingbee boards

My boyfriend likes to tackle things one at a time.  Me, I can be in the middle of reading several books at once and multi-task up a storm.  I figured that the kitchen renovation (week 10 of actual construction and many months prior of planning/delaying/waiting (after cabinets were torn down)) would need to be finished first before he'd think of other things such as engagements.  So I've been actively managing it to move it along and prevent even more screw ups.  Well, it seems I am right - last night, we were walking back to our apartment, sharing an ice cream, talking about the kitchen wrapping up today (*sigh* more problems, it didn't), and he comments, "So I guess we need to go look at rings now."  Yes, yes we do!  It has swum up to the top of the list finally, now if only his job can stop sending him places and stressing him, long enough for us to do so!  Being homey cooking together the past week instead of eating takeout has helped, he's seems to have it on his mind with various comments including asking twice if we're an old married couple now.  (Nope, gotta get married first!)

So how about it, ladies - for the uni-taskers, what are your SOs focused on instead of engagement?  School?  New job?  Moving?

...and please let the kitchen finish tomorrow!

It's the uterus. Apparently the possession of this mystical organ makes one uniquely qualified to multi-task as well as handle unpleasant chores like cleaning the bathroom, scooping litter or changing poopy baby diapers!

I'm pretty sure engagement isn't on his radar. He's trying to change jobs, maybe even career fields and still needs to finish filing his taxes. :) I kinda had him on house search duty with me but I'm working on dropping it since it's turning out to be a bust so he's no longer on that tasker. Until he finds a new job I don't think he'll have time to really consider getting engaged. I think most guys are not multi-taskers, even though they try to be.

Hope the rest of your renovation goes well! (Crosses fingers) :)

Thanks for all the good wishes - the kitchen is *finally* finished!!  His mom even insisted on coming over today to help me bring up the table we've stuffed away in storage and cart some things down so we can start settling in (she knows he'll procrastinate longer on doing these things than I like and wants to help out).  This has taken forever.  Of course, paying the final installment on it might delay that ring purchase, but it was promising yet again tonight.  From joking when we walked in to dinner that I only made reservations at the place because it was near a jewerly shop (I said I did a poor job of timing it, in that case, considering they were closing) and he again said we ought to go look at them to at dinner asking me where I would want to get married.  (I've lived a lot of places, so there's not an obvious answer to that question.)  He seems to be referencing it very frequently all of the sudden, in addition to frequently telling me how happy I make him, how happy he is that I moved in, how much he loves me, etc.
