Not Engaged Yet

New! And NOT crazy!

Hey ladies! I've been lurking around here for a couple months now, and wanted to introduce myself now. I'm 29, and my BF is 31. We've been together for about 7 months now, and hope to move in together this summer, with an engagement possibly a year after that. I'm a graphic designer and he owns a coffee shop. Though we talk about marriage and stuff, we are definitely not planning a wedding at this point! We're having so much fun where we're at. Oh - and he's like a 31-yr-old kid... he's got a motorcycle and his arms are sleeved up, one with Transformers, the other with Ninja Turtles. So fun! We have date nights where get a cheap pizza from the place on the corner, wine from Trader Joe's, and play games all night.

I LOVE potatoes - any way, shape, or form! Especially with cheese on top. As for wine, I don't like white, but I've never met a red that I don't like - red wine and chocolate are like a food group over here. I can't really answer about Harry Potter because I've never read any of the books or seen the movies. I can't remember the other questions that you girls ask, if there are any, on the newbie posts.

PS - That post "Where are all the nice ladies" or whatever it was called?! OMG. I was pretty much on the floor dying. I had to literally run/drag myself to the bathroom before I peed myself! I'm still laughing just thinking about it!

  • Welcome! I agree you sound normal, and we like normal.

    Do you like coffee?

    I'd also second the request to see some of your design work. I love admiring other peoples' styles.

    [QUOTE]You sound normal. Please stay. Since I am in such a good mood today, tell me what is awesome about YOUR day today.  Then tell me what kind of graphic design you do. You can see my awesome self-taught skillz at Peek and Yaga's wedding website.  Also I've really always wanted to own a cafe.

    Thanks! Well today I get to relax, no work. So that's pretty awesome! I do all print design work, I don't do web or anything like that- I suppose I should learn though.

    I loooove coffee. Lattes especially! The vanilla latte with caramel is my go-to lately. With whipped cream, of course.

  • Oh! Yes, the furbabies!!! I have 2 kitties, they're tabbies. They turned 4 years old in December. They're littermates, they were rescued when they were just babies...

    Thank you!
    Furbaby pics just up. We went to the west side of Michigan for New Year's, to a friend's beach house on Lake Michigan. It was a lot of fun. I do watch some TV - The Office, some of those true crime shows especially 48 Hours Mystery, The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I'm a bit limited since I don't have cable. I seem to always catch Friends reruns!

    Posted by CCO2012[/QUOTE]

    I'm a veggie girl for pizza. My fave - lots of cheese, green peppers, mushrooms, red peppers (bell peppers), and jalapenos.

    As for music I like a lot of most types. I don't like country or metal. But I like almost everything else!

  • My mom owned a coffee shop for 9 years, it was the best and hardest thing she's ever done. Kudos to your BF for doing it too! :) Free coffee is a plus, amirite? Do you like Doctor Who? How about Dexter or American Horror Story?

    Thanks!
    I don't get to travel much, but I want to. Money's just way too tight, so when I do go anywhere I'll go to "up north" in the summer - northern Michigan. It's gorgeous there. In my spare time... I like doing photography, watching movies, playing games, and hanging out with the BF.
