Q and A

Matt's gone. I'm Bored. Annnndddd I obviously haven't been keeping up well with the blog. Oops. I do recall stating in my first, and only other, post that I don't really have anything that important that I just feel like has to be shared with the world. I am always amazed at the stories and things that people have to tell and talk about on their blogs. I ponder, 'what did I do this weekend that I could share...? Hmmmm...went to dinner, came home, went to bed (but not without the sleep timer set to Chelsea Lately). Saturday, I woke up, went to breakfast with the huz (which is quickly becoming a guilty pleasure), ran a few errands (Probably for the house), came home and took a nap/watched a movie, got ready for dinner, went to dinner, and may or may not go have a drink at an adult establishment. But chances are we just came back home and went to bed." My Sunday doesn't get much more exciting. Sooooo, how about a little question and answer to keep from getting my blog shut down for neglect (do they do that?).

EXCITED: about a weekend with friends that I haven't seen in months. And when they're you're best friends....that's a long time!

WORRIED: about having my home remodeling complete in time to decorate for Christmas! Where will the presents go if the tree's not up?!

READING: Just finished one called 13 Reasons Why. (I could never remember in school, do I underline or italicize a book title?) I was contemplating recommending it to my teenagers at work but decided not to encourage a book about a suicidal teen, to a bunch of suicidal teens. Go me.

CREATING: Memories and a home!

LOVING: Wearing flip flops the week of Thanksgiving. I'd totally sacrifice the winter cold for perfect days like this. That's an even trade right? I'll go North if I want snow. DEAL!

HATING: The 9-5 daily grind. Love what I do, just hate the 9-5 part.

WONDERING: How long you have to wait until you feel like all of your dreams have finally come true?

CRAVING: A home cooked meal.

LISTENING: Old school Mandy Moore...that's right.

WATCHING: Myself type....? I typically don't have music and the tv on at the same time.

Ok, there you have it. 'Til next time....:)

Welcome!

Sooooo.....Sometime's I get really bored with the hum drum of life and I need an outlet...preferrably a creative outlet. Since getting married, Matt (and I...and our friends Anna, Jimmy, and Travis) have torn apart our house with hopes of updating it/remodeling it/flipping the fridge and the oven/etc., etc., etc. Now, Mr. Matthew has wonderful handy man skills. I swear the guy can fix anything and if he for some unknown reason can't, he has a friend that can. I, on the other hand, know nothing of these skills. Thank God I had male neighbors in college...although I could spackle the hell out of my walls...if it meant getting my deposit back! But anyways, I have pretty much been locked in our Master bedroom for the last 3 months while my precious husband is working his ass off on our house or working his ass off in Texas for work. It's been one or the other, and I'm helpless in both situations...I can't even cook him a decent dinner to say thank you. Matt has been gone traveling a lot lately, which leaves me a lonely newlywed. Not that it's that terrible. When Matt and I met 41/2 years ago, he was already secure in his job and traveling all the time. It's nothing new to me and quite frankly, I'm okay with it. I don't mind alone time every now and then and it's all I've ever known with him so...it's life. C'est la Vie, right?! Of course I miss him terribly when he is gone! Especially when he is having those day's or week's that he just doesn't have time to chit chat on the phone or answer my "Hi baby, I'm bored, what are you up to?" phone calls. I'm really not one that particularly loves to talk on the phone so it takes some pressure off of the situation but I still like to hear my husbands voice at least once in a 24 hour time span. The point of all of this...Throughout my day's, I have normal, random, not normal at all, common, complete, incomplete, logical and completely irrational thoughts, ideas, plans, desires, hates, loves, and stories that I can't WAIT to tell Matt about. But like most people, he can't always drop what he's doing to listen to all of my crazy proposals, questions, and jokes. Sometimes, I don't talk to him until hours later (I hope this doesn't sound like a poor poor pitiful me sob story about never getting to talk to my husband...it's really not that tragic) and by the time we have both finally reached a point in our day where we can sit down and listen to each other's day and hear out their thoughts...I forgot. And there are some things that I save for when he get's home because I want to see the expression on his face or it's way more serious for the late at night phone call knowing he is exausted from his 16 hour day. But by the end of the week, the moment is gone, I messed up the punch line to the joke, or the story just doesn't have that big of an impact anymore.



Deep breath...So...The point of this entry was to basically say that I created this blog in order to get my silly little thoughts out. I can use it as a point of reference for my husband later and have the oportunity to get some creativity out of my bones when I need it. And more importantly, I can feel like I am connecting with humans through this as opposed to only talking to dogs! Hence the title of this blog :) Truly, they are the best listeners of all, but someday's I need more than a cock of the head when I make a good point! I never thought my life would be interesting enough to write about or to have camera's follow me around for the next big reality show....and it's still not. But with this blog, I don't have to feel bad about burdening my co-worker with the guilt to listen to my story that's really not all that interesting. No one HAS to read this, so no pressure right?! Just me and my thoughts...and anyone that want's to join!

Enjoy!
