Not Engaged Yet

I'm New :)

Hi ladies!

I didn't want to do an intro post because you can't really comment or interact.

I have been lurking her for a few months and decided it was time to comment. I comment sometimes on the wedding flowers page because I work at a florist and I feel like that is an area I am strong in giving advice.

My BF and I are in our early twenties and are both from and currently in attending college in North Carolina. I am a Political Science and Para-legal Studies major and he is an electrical engineer getting his masters in computer engineering. We have been together for five years and met in high school. We waiting until a little bit after college to get married but will probably be engaged before the year ends (he is planning it and gives me hints sometimes lol).

I have in the past been a little BSC about the "pre-planning" but have come around after lurking around here a bit. You guys give some really great advice around here and I hope I offer some too.

If you have any questions let me know :)

    Hi and welcome!

    What is your stance on mashed potatoes? Homemade, fresh, from real potatoes? Or boxed? (Be warned, I will haze you if you like faux-tatoes.)

    My concentration is in law and justice, but I am in my school's paralegal program as well. That is really a post bachelors degree program but I am doing most of the courses as an undergrad and will be graduating early to take my specialty course and finish on tine. What about you?

    I like pandas :) they are cute. I even have a WWF (world wildlife)  panda shirt <a href="http://www.worldwildlife.org/home.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldwildlife.org/home.html</a>

    Cheese... we have a complicated relationship. I love cold hard cheese. like for crackers. I don't typically like melted cheese like in lasagna or chicken parm. I do however like warm brie.

    I'm not too picky of an eater, so I will eat box mashed potatoes, but my favorite are the homemade kind my mom makes for Thanksgiving and other special occasions. I can never make them quite the same.

    Welcome!!! I'm in NC too!  My bf and I met in college in this beautiful state =)

    You guys have me craving mashed potatoes now....and I don't have any =(
  • edited December 2011
    Ugh, fake potatoes!  I cringe!  Gross! 

    Gotta make them the right way.  I can immediately tell if they're fake and won't eat them.  BF thinks it's so funny how I'll sample them at restaurants and either smile or make a face depending on whether they're real or not.  And every time I'm sick or down in the dumps, he makes me potatoes!

    And no melted cheese on lasagna?! Oh my goodness, I LOVE cheeeeeese!

    Oh no, Desert's going to haze me for my love of Potato Buds. That's what we always had in my house growing up. BF thinks they're blasphemy.

    Ohhh, that's sounds interesting! I'm narrowing in on political theory and international human rights. I love it! I'm hoping to go to law school after undergrad, however.

    Hello! I'm still in the semi-lurking stage but I wanted to post because we have alot in common. I am also still in college in NC and have plans with my BF to get married after graduation, but be engaged within the year. Best wishes, see you around the boards!
