Sorry for my absence this weekend...but the bathrooms are about 90% finished with the remodel, so we are busy cleaning dust off EVERY surface in our house and moving my stuff back into my closet from the 18 different places it was in the house :)
Before and after pictures coming soon...promise!
I just went to 7-11 to grab a Diet Coke (sweet nectar of life), and decided on my way to the checkout counter to grab a roll of Mentos (recent obsession).
If you don't know why this is a giant FAIL, watch the following video:
Thankfully, I remembered just in time.
2:19.
T-minus 2 hours and 41 minutes until I get to go home and start putting all of my clothes back into my closet (I just have to find them in the 18 different places they've been languishing during this nightmare bathroom remodeling business).
Yay.
Update: Just got home and only 1/2 of what was supposed to be done today was actually completed on the BFH {bathrooms from hell}. Forget original plan of working out followed by exciting move back into closets/normalcy. New plan: watch Real Housewives re-runs and drink wine.
Ahhh yes. The nightmare continues for an extra 4 days.
I'm going to need a valium, 2 bottles of chardonnay, some back issues of Vogue, and season 5 of Will and Grace to get myself through this week.
Kisses :)
Remember this post?
Well, I made my decision... and I start a new job on June 15th!
This was a big choice for me, my current boss is fabulous, and is such a joy to work for. But, the owner of our company is not a joy to work for in ANY way, and between his rudeness, and the massive paycuts we've gone through recently, it was time for me to move on.
My new job is basically business development/outside sales, so I will work primarily from home with only 1 day a week in the office. (yay!) Also, the $$ is super-great, and the company is small but has been around for a long time (which I like, large company's don't work for me)...
It was hard telling my boss this morning (I cried just a little), but he understood, and we'll still be friends... he introduced me to my husband, you know :)
Have a fabulous Monday Tuesday!
My aunt (who has been married for 30+ years) told me last week:
"Marriage isn't just saying 'I do' once and then never having to do anything else. You have to wake up every day and decide to love the other person."
Newlywed Husband, I love you today.
ME! For predicting that the remodeling would not, in fact, be finished on schedule. (In case you're just joining us, Newlywed Husband decided that we should get all of our bathrooms remodeled...not my idea).
Ladies and gentlemen, we're currently a week behind (we were supposed to be finished yesterday), and it's looking like we're probably going to finish up in June.
I'm moving back into an apartment, this is crap.
3 glasses of chardonnay

1 sweet tea vodka & lemonade

not very much to eat

a raging headache.
{can someone please pass the tylenol?}
Dear Mr. Person In Front of Me In Traffic Today,
Repeatedly slamming on your brakes while going uphill is unnecessary. If you simply cease and desist from pressing that pedal on the right (that would be the gas pedal), then gravity will take care of the rest.
Great, super, thanks.
Newlywed Wife.
We haven't eaten at home together in a while, partly due to Newlywed Husband's work schedule, and partly because we just tend to go out to eat on the weekends. As a result, I haven't cooked dinner since last Wednesday night (it may have actually been longer than that...), and I'm dying to get back in my kitchen tonight!
That being said, here's what we're going to have for dinner this week - subject to change, as we typically have one or two nights a week that either Newlywed Husband or myself have a massive craving for Mi Cocina or La Duni and we just go out to dinner instead of cooking :)
Monday - Tacos (for Newlywed Husband), taco salad (for me) with spanish rice and maybe some corn Hamburgers and a side salad...
Tuesday - Chicken Parmesan with a caesar salad
Wednesday - Club salad with chicken tenders, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, corn, and carrots
Thursday - Shrimp & spinach pasta with fettuccine sauce
What are you making for dinner this week?
i-pod playlist, that is! {Where is your mind? Shame on you!}
Newlywed Husband just informed me that he is going cycling with a good buddy of his this afternoon for a couple of hours.
I was ecstatic about this for two reasons: (1). Newlywed Husband has been super-busy and super-stressed with his job so the exercise and guy-time will be good for him & (2). I don't have to get on that two-wheeled contraption of death (aka the bike).
In the spirit of being healthy and all, I guess I'll drag my lazy behind out the door for a little exercise too...which requires me to have a fully loaded i-pod playlist, otherwise I'll run walk for about 8 minutes, get bored, and go back to the house to engage myself in more entertaining activities {helloooooo trashy reality TV re-runs!}
Here it is, the current i-pod playlist, aptly named "Workout Mix"...cause I'm just that clever.
What's on your playlist?
Newlywed Husband and I been a bit at odds lately, so I've been really trying to focus on the good things in our marriage, the funny little experiences we've had, and the cool stories we'll have to tell our children someday {"Remember when Daddy tried to teach Mommy how to ride a dirtbike?"}
Anyway, Future Farm Wife just filled out a little quiz about her and her sweetie, so I thought I'd try it on Newlywed Husband and I...enjoy :)
♥What are your middle names? Oops...can't answer this one :) They start with A (him) and K (me) though...
♥How long have you been together? Pretty much since the day we met - February 8th, 2008.
♥How long did you know each other before you started dating? 4 hours???
♥Who asked who out? He did, via e-mail, 4 hours after we met :)
♥Who said I love you first? He did, on his birthday.
♥How old are each of you? Mid 20's (me) and mid-30's (him)
♥Whose siblings do/did you see the most? Well...since I am an only child the natural answer would have to be his. But, we hang out with my extended family the most by far.
♥Do you have any children together? Not yet!
♥What about pets? Winston, of course! Discussions have been had pertaining to the acquisition of another canine, but that will probably be waaaaaaaay in the future...
♥Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Wow, this is a broad question. Probably the fact that he works so much, that we have an hour or two in the evenings together, and just one full day on the weekend.
♥Are you from the same hometown? Nope, not even the same state! I'm a MO girl, and he's a TX boy :)
♥Who is the most sensitive? Definitely me.
♥Where do you eat out most as a couple? Houstons, Mi Cocina, La Duni and ...drumroll please... Chili's!
♥Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Jamaica
♥Who does the cooking? Me, if the cooking was left up to Newlywed Husband we'd be living on tuna and VitaminWater.
♥Who is the most social? We're about equal in our extremely outgoing personalities.
♥Who is the neat-freak? Newlywed Husband by a landslide!!!
♥Where was your first date? Lunch at Cantina Laredo (which is a mexican restaurant, in case you didn't pick that up from the name :)
♥Who has the bigger family? This time it's me, by a landslide!
♥Do you get flowers often? No, but we're also both prone to some pretty serious allergies...
♥Who do you spend the holidays with? Both families, pretty equally.
♥Who is more jealous? I'm agreeing with Future Farm Wife's answer here, I think I'm more nosy than jealous...
♥Who’s better with the computer? This would for sure be me, he can't figure out multiple browser windows :) {To his credit, I don't even know how to lift the hood of my car, let alone check the oil - all of us have our gifts}.
♥Who picks where you go to dinner? It's usually a pretty mutual decision, determined by the method of elimination which goes something like this... "Ew, I found a hair in my food there last time"...We have Chili's all the time, if I have to eat another Margarita Chicken platter I'll die"... "The waitress there was a total snot - I'm totally not eating there again". And so on, until we come to the one restaurant that we both don't hate. {please ignore that double negative}
♥Who eats more sweets? Shockingly, I think it's him. I prefer a second seventh glass of chardonnay over dessert.
♥Who cries more? Of course me.
♥Love you honey♥
