What're You Doing Right Now?

Just got home from Pride. It was great as usual. Took wifey-to-be, her second Pride I think and her first in Missouri. We had BBQ pulled pork nachos that were amazing. OMG. We got a few little pan and lesbian trinkets like flags and pins, and I found a genderfluid pin.

Just got home a few hours ago. Original plans were to go out to dinner last night with Wifey to Be, meet her daughter and family. At the last minute, Wifey to Be texts me, "If I can wrangle a motel room for us would you spend the night with me?" Um DUH. Is the Pope Catholic????

Went to a Cajun restaurant for dinner, I had a shrimp and scallop dish in a tequila sauce over pasta. Oh....my....GOD. It was supposed to be over dirty rice, but in our defense we got there a little after 8pm and they closed at 9, so they subbed out pasta for free. (It's usually a $3 upcharge.) We couldn't really talk much because they had live jazz music and it was hard to hear.

Spent the night with Wifey to Be in a motel after dinner, stayed up till 4am deep in conversation. Discussed how our pasts affected us in our present, wedding plans, everything under the sun. She said we were in the middle of a great conversation, and I started snoring and it was adorable. ROFL

Today we spent wedding window-shopping. Looked at dresses for me, not sure what I want yet. Did pick out the tuxes for Wifey to Be, Schmoo, and everyone else in our wedding who's wearing one. I'm seriously considering everyone wearing Chucks with their tuxes/dresses.

Miss E and Schmoo will walk me down the aisle, and both will stand beside me as well as one other I've chosen. Wifey to Be also has three standing on her side. We're not really using the words bridesmaid and groomsmen, because our wedding party is mixed. Wifey to Be has a best woman instead of a best man, and she has a guy friend standing with her also.

You sound like you had amazing time and it sounds like your wedding is going to be perfect!!


I'm currently in bed watch cold case and dreading Monday. John leaves for 4 days and it's going to suck. Probably won't get much sleep so I'll be on here bugging people I guess lol

That was a year ago. I dumped her a few days after Valentine's Day because a pulmonary embolism very nearly gave me my own thread here and she didn't care. So I dumped her.

A few days later, my current girl snatched me up. Not only did she care about my pronouns almost becoming were/was, but had she been here that day she would have dragged me to the hospital and not left my side. In March she moved from Texas to Missouri to be with me and finished off Pride month with a proposal. I'm in a much healthier relationship, and much happier.

She definitely is. We are both so alike it's scary. We've only ever play-argued over silly things. Like KC barbecue, that KC is known for, versus Texas barbecue. Or boneless wings being wings, with my argument, "The restaurant isn't called 'Buffalo Wild Tenders!'" And then there's sports. My Royals and Chiefs versus her Astros and Cowboys. She hears me all the time muttering, "It's just baseball!" (Football is different, since my Chiefs signed Patrick Mahomes we've done VERY well.)

I have known her for almost 4 years now, I met her on TikTok of all places. She was doing her first TikTok livestream and I popped in. She shocked my socks off when she stopped what she was talking about and fangirled over ME. I got all blushy cheeks and insisted I was nobody. Meaning I wasn't a million-follower creator. She said, "Don't ever say that you're nobody. Because you're somebody to me."

As is my thing, I don't refer to people in my life IRL as their names. My kids I refer to as the nicknames I still call them. I'll have to come up with a way to refer to Wifey-to-be, because she's my forever.

ETA: My ex was insanely jealous of her. She probably saw the flirting before I did. Wifey-to-be flirted with me for a good 3 years before I caught on. I responded, "You like me like that? You LOVE ME? Oh. Oh! Ohhhhhhh...." I'm living proof a person can be insanely bright and clever, while at the same time being SLOW and blind. ROFLMAO
