This is hysterical! I do so many of these things- especially keep an "inspiration" folder on my computer for the big day, check left hands, and have ring dreams!
I'll also add:
20. Daydream and real dream about how your SO will propose and the sparkle that ensues!
21. Wanting to check your SO's email to look for any information about ring/proposal things. Talk yourself back down from the urge.
22. Find yourself popping into jewelry stores just to satisfy the craving of having a diamond on the left hand.
23. Find yourself htinking creatively about every interesting space you go to as a possible wedding venue/rehearsal dinner space.
24. Think "this would make a great wedding favor/bridesmaid gift" about every cute little thing you see while shopping/online browsing.

25. You search the house weekly to try and find the ring

27) Ask your engaged friends non-chalantly about their future wedding plans/venues etc and mentally jot down things to look up later
2 Surf the web obsessively looking at rings
29) Try to squeeze every drop out of your SO about his engagement plans
30) Stay up late at night thinking about the ring on your finger.. the day he proposes and what will happen next!

31. The word "dust" has a new meaning!

 

[Mashira]

No worries, me too I particularly like: 9, 15, 22, 25, 29 and 30!

As for 25.... he actually borrowed my safe to put it in... and I know exactly where the safe is. I see it every time I'm at his place *le sigh*

 

[dawnabee]

Autumn you are not alone bc I do like 85% of these things too lol

expecially number 15!! Its so bad I wish I could always wear dark shades so ladies don't look at me funny when I'm staring at their rings!

 

[Grlsbestfrnd]

Yeah, wow, I do about 90% of these things

 

[beezygal]

Yeah, wow, I do about 90% of these things

See, shades come to good use...not only for when the disappointed face takes over

 

[crossmyfingers]

32. You have to make a conscious effort not to use PS abbreviations in real life. (FF! LIW! FMIL!)

 

[Mashira]

33. Your SO stops wondering what you're doing online and automatically assumes your on PS/LIW

 

[Jessie702]

HaHa...my SO doesnt even knwo about PS/LIW. He would think ive completely gone over the deep in

LOL too true! I could have used those shades today. I idiotically asked my boyfriend if he had a plan for when he is going to propose. He said he wont know until he gets the ring in his hand and that he isn't good with just coming up with stuff Obviously I was looking for a better answer... ugh boyss
