It's Been a Year, So

It's funny lately. Friends and acquaintances ask me about my boyfriend. I say things are going wonderfully. Then they ask how long we've been together. I say a little over a year. Then, inevitably, the next question is about whether I think we'll get married or if I think he'll propose soon etc etc etc. It's kinda comical because I know it's coming. :0) It's not a bad thing, just amusing. I always reply that I am in no rush, he is in no rush and things are fine as is.

Not to say I wouldn't marry the man in a heartbeat. I would. This actually floored a friend of mine from high school that I saw recently. I have talked to her a few times over the past couple years after losing touch for about 10-15 years. When we first started hanging out again I told her I thought marriage was the ending of the fun life I knew and loved and never planned on getting married. My long lost brother reminded me of this philosophy I once held near and dear as well. I actually kinda forgot I had it once. And now, I can honestly say I would marry R in a heartbeat. But again, it's not something I need in my life for my happiness. I am happy with him and if things keep going swimmingly I am sure down the line we just might tie the knot. Who knows!

In other news, my Kraymer has puked 3 nights out of the past 4. By night I mean 6am ish. He puked Friday morning, Sunday morning and this morning. I don't know why. It's not like he gets into anything in my room, because any time he moves off my bed I wake up automatically. Lately I stay up and pay attention to see if he's going to his bed on the floor or if he's going to the corner to puke. My poor dude. Here's my issue. We are leaving for San Fran Thursday afternoon. I am pretty poor right now and don't' really want to go to the vet to have them tell me they have no idea what's wrong with him and to watch him. I can do that without paying $100, ya know? Not to say that I am not concerned and am against going to the vet. I think what I am going to do is feed him upset tummy special food (that I have from awhile ago from a vet) and if he pukes again tomorrow morning I will make an appointment. I don't want my little dude sick when I am not here, ya know? The pet sitter can't be responsible to search the house for puke piles... and man would that scar the wood floor! BUT that doesn't matter. I just want the bubba to feel better before we go. He's fine otherwise, another reason I am hesitant to wisk him off to the vet's office, ya know?

If anyone has any advice I am all ears. My friend who still works at the specialty vet I worked at said to not feed him for a day then give him the special food. I can't imagine my poor Kraymer starving. I would hate it! But anyways...

HAPPY MONDAY!!! I can say that because it's really kinda my Tuesday. hehe

Okay, #1. No need to rush into anything. If you don't get married, so what? Do what you need to do for yourselves. I, personally enjoy being married. Plus there are the tax advantages to it.
#2. Even though you think not, chances are that ol' Kraymer is getting into something at night. If he was really sick, he'd be puking more than once a day. Watch him though. If he acts sluggish or has a loss of appetite, take him to the vet. But, to be honest, it sounds like the old boy's got a hidden stash of goodies that he gets into while you sleep!

I totally know what you mean... I was with a guy for 6 years and hated when people would constantly ask "when?" I used to always say "We'll never get married. It's just a piece of paper." Well, at least I was right about one of those two statements.Now I find it's less about the piece of paper, and more about spending my life with the person I can't live without.And I'm so sorry to hear about your Bubba... poor lil' guy. I wonder what could be wrong?

Poor Kraymer maybe he just ate too fast..My cat does that..she likes to upchuck in my shoe...I think she may be trying to tell me something.. Happy Anniversary Sweetie..

you could also do brown rice and broth. That will help bind him up. Also my VET told me that if they are having acid problems that PEPCID AC works. It worked for spiker when he was having trouble keeping anything down after the razor incident.

Rex threw up four times last night because he overate. The neighbors feed him and although they mean well, it isn't good for him. I think the heat may have something to do with Kraymer's tummy. I hope that he is well when you leave. By the way, Ted and I lived together a year before we were married. I am really glad because we got the kinks ironed out.

Poor Kraymer-head!
And isn't it funny how people NEED to know what the next step in YOUR relationship will be. It's really stressing TBD out lately. LOL

"Do you think your life has changed because of it? I can't see why things would be any different..."
Not really. It's the same but better for us... but we didn't "live in sin" prior. Seriously, it's been a pretty strange surreal trip for us so far - and it's been so wonderful. I love being his wife so it's been great, but not really different. I'm still me, he's still him and we're also a family now and I guess that's what is different.

I too can remember you ranting about marriage and how it would be the end of your life. nice to hear things have changed! all it takes is that one person you just can't live without!
comment by elkhound on July 21, 2008 1:27 PM ()
please let me know how Kraymer is doing (poor baby)...about the other I wish I could follow my own advice but I say: don't listen to "them", listen to your heart and you will know when it's the right time or if it's the right circumstance etc

Poor Kramer-head!
Marriage, eh?
comment by mrsstu on July 21, 2008 10:31 AM ()
My P Dog has been having stomach trouble too. Except her bad piles come from the other end...really bad. On the marriage front, if you want to get married to R remember this. It's the 21st century. PD did propose to me. She didn't give me the chance to ask her and now it's going on 11 years of marital bliss.

I noticed the RedHeadedStep-Sister-in-laws cat has puked yet again on the back porch. Guess it beats its last effort of leaving a baby bunny AND a pile of puke out there. I don’t like that cat.

Poor Kramer. It's like having a baby that can't talk yet and tell ya what the problem is. I hope he's better before you leave.
Happy Tuesday!
