8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 5

[PMDR59]

Oh, okay. I was worried because it usually takes people more than just a few weeks to figure out I am an idiot.

 

[lbgraves]

O.K., change of plans, the run for 21K will happen during lost.

LOL! That's fine with me. The TV is right next to the computer desk.

Someday I'll get SWMBO to tell you how we met. It involves her throwing a knife at me.

 

[lbgraves]

Have you met Stacy's Evil Twin - Her name is Lisa and you don't want to make her mad!!! (I think she just says what most of us are thinking at times)

LOL! Yes, I have been warned about that Lisa. We might be related.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

LOL! That's fine with me. The TV is right next to the computer desk.

ditto!

No Tv in sight of Computer, but thats what I have DVR for so I'll be making the run for another Pirate...

I thought I'd throw out another proposal from a Swabbie.

DW and I went to Chicago for the weekend. The whole time she thought I was going to propose. We even made a plan to go to the top of the Sears Tower at night. She thought for sure it was going to happen there. It didn't.

We get back to the hotel and we're walking around one of the upper atrium floors looking down at the lobby. She says to me, "I bet they just got engaged".

I wasn't planning on asking her until the next night, but I started feeling guilty.

Later that night we were back in the room and she was watching t.v. I pull out a folder I brought with me. She thought it was the football pool so she paid no attention to me. But, I was actually pulling out a piece of paper and recited a poem I wrote her asking if she'd marry me.

She didn't know what I was doing at first, so she turned the t.v. off and asked me to start over.

When I got near the end, to the part where I wrote "will you marry me" I did get down on one knee.

She couldn't believe it and the first words out of her mouth were "No". Not a "no" she didn't want to marry me, but a "no" that she couldn't belive it.

So to this day I tell her I should have taken her first answer.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Ohh bummer
I thought AI comes on now but nope, not for an hour~!

 

[got2travel]

[justmestace]

That's OK Andy, my evil twin wont hold it against you. She will deal with Randy.

Sorry, forgive my ignorance but what does SWMBO stand for? It will probably be a DUH moment but it is driving me crazy not to know.

No romantic down on one knee story here either! We'd also lived together for about 6mo when one day, leaving a grocery store no less... DH says he has a surprise for me for my birthday. Or that he's going to. Now this was in JUNE (June 6th to be exact) and my birthday wasn't until July 31st. Anyone who knows me knows you cannot tell me you're going to give me a surprise then not tell me what it is for almost 2mo. So I nagged him what my surprise is- until finally he said let's go... and we went to the store (that same day) and he had me look at rings.
Yes, that's right.. we went and got the ring right then and he never even really said "will you marry me". I guess we just both knew what the answer would be.

DH didn't do the knee thing either. We had been dating for about 7 months and I had decided after 3 that he was the one - it took him 2 months just to kiss me!

Anyway, it was a Sat. and we usually saw each other every night anyway but for some reason he wanted to be sure we were going to dinner THAT night - even calling me at work to make sure we were still "on". I wasn't feeling well and told him so and he sounded so forlorn on the phone when he asked it that meant I didn't want to go to dinner. Well, I figured something was up so I said that dinner was on - I'd go home a lay-down for a while to make the dinner reservation for later on.

We go to dinner and all the while I'm waiting for something - besides him blowing his nose every 5 minutes (he went water skiing earlier that day and spent more time in the water than on the skis!). So nothing at dinner, nothing at desert.

After dinner we go for a drive down to the waterfront and he suggests we go for a walk. We get started and he asks me to wait a minute - he forgot his tissues. He runs back to the car and get's his leather coat with his tissues - it's August, what does he need a coat for? So, we walk for a while and then sit down on a bench and look at the water and the full moon just relaxing when he tells me to close my eyes and hold out my hand. So of course, I do the girlie thing and hold our my left hand, palm side down so he can put the ring on my finger. He turns it over and puts the jewelry box in it, and tells me to open my eyes. There in my hands is the ring box opened up with my engagement and wedding ring (I had shown them to him months before but didn't think he remembered). He never got the chance to even ask me - between the tears I just kept saying yes over and over.

And he's been that way every since - very romantic and does tries to do things when I least expect it.

Note to Self: talkreallyreallyfastaroundTinaMduringthecruise OR wear a helmet.

I really am not a violent person. You know how you try different things when the computer starts acting up? At work we have Comcast. So when things go weird at work, the six of us in my unit sound like the Waltons saying good night! Hey, is the internet down? Or is it just me?

I went in for a brain scan once myself. They didn't find anything.

LOL Oh you tease but you don't mean it!

 

[lbgraves]

I think we wenches are all starting to think alike - that was my first thought when I read his post!

He made it too easy!!!

 

[JLDSMD]

I'm the "good" looking twin......

I'd ask if you see him often, but I'm sure your reply would be everytime you look in the mirror.

 

[Verandah Man]

YOU have one of those too???

But of course, don't we all???

 

[lbgraves]

Yep - AI tonight!

Well, it's not on until 9 so I will be watching both episodes of Lost instead.

 

[sk8ingmom]

Are we there yet???

OH well, I'm leaving work for the day once I find that blasted cover sheet for my TPS report...
