One Romantic Evening...

Setting: 11:00 at night, Mr. and I in bed. I couldn't sleep 'cause I was too flipping hot while Mr., who had finally snoozed away at around 10pm assured me it was very cool and comfortable. I get up to check the thermostat and yup, it says 70 but I'm all hot and starting to feel gross in bed. Of note, I had been tossing and turning since exactly 9:56.

Me: I start poking Mr.

Mr. Starts swatting me away

Me: I poke faster and harder

Mr: 'Ok, exactly whot is your problem? I was sleeping!!!!'

Me: (Ok I'm in bed hot, annoyed 'cause I can't sleep and I want to tell him to blow or fan or something some cold air on me) 'Blow me baby I'm HOT!'

Us: realizing what just came out of my mouth, we both crack up laughing....I finally go to bed 30 minutes later.

Have a great weekend. I am surprising Mr. by taking him to a hotel in Naples for the weekend- it is our 6 month wedding anniversary after all! And step-father's day! :)

A Husband Classic

As we're walking around Publix yesterday, Mr. and I were just shooting the breeze when he suddenly says:

" Lawrence asked me to dinner but I'm not going to go- don't feel like it- I told him I was going to dinner with you"

Me: (thinking this is my way out of cooking for the night and I really didn't feel like going out either) "Oh well what do you mean? You asking permission? You haven't gone to dinner in a while with him - you sure? you don't need to ask permission by the way"

Mr: 'nah, nah, I mean I really don't feel like it- it's not like I can't go out with him. I can do whatever I want...he knows it. I can go to dinner with any of my friends any time, I just don't feel like it. I mean, I don't need to ask permission and can go whenever I want as long as I tell you......right honey?'

Me: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Mr: 'whot? whot did I say?'

I think he's trained.

Ps- I did go for a swim. It kicked my ass.

Quick Recap

Ok so a quick recap as to what I've missed writing about in the last three weeks:

214- my cholesterol count
115- my LDL count
86- my HDL count
66- my triglycerides count *have no clue as to what any of these mean but now I'm eating oatmeal on a daily basis- if it works for the guys in the commercial, why not me?
6- days I was laid up with a bad back
2- more days until memorial for our friends who were murdered last month. Hoping JR gets closure out of this.
46- days I have been married
10- days I've been a total bitch (could be more but I really lost count)
365- the number of 'things' I will owe Mr. if John McCain becomes our next prez.

In a nutshell, that is it. So nothing major has been missed. I've been cooking more, my daughter thinks I'm the smartest in the house and she keeps writing about a dog she has and how much she loves him and how much I love him too. That is kind of weird.

Also, my boss may allow me to work part-time soon. It was something JR asked if I could do for her and maybe now the timing is right for it. The even better scoop is that I may go work for Mr. at some point. Then I could really have some freedom any "work-outside-the-home" mother dreams of. But we have to figure out how to do it without killing each other since I can be quite the bossy one.

Still working on building up my lists and such and trying to figure out blogger once again. I can't even figure out how to find that RSS thing. oh well.

'til the next one

And then there was light

Apparently there was darkness for about 3 weeks. And then I needed the light again.

Have been married since December 14, 2007. The previous 38 years I spent on my own. I mean my now 8 year old was with me as well, but mostly I spent it on my own. Practically raised myself, now raising my daughter and just wanted to keep a journal of my newly married life. New beginnings, new adventures and everything they entail.

Not hiding this journal from anyone and maybe my husband will be reading from time to time. Maybe my husband may complain and say 'why did you write that!?' but hell, sometimes I wonder why did he do that? so we're even. Right?

Maybe not.

Ding Dong...

the tree is down! Christmas decor is out the door...now the truth is evident: I need more furniture because obviously I had such a tacky ass display of christmas decorations which took up so much of the house that the place looks empty.

So being married for a whopping 13 days now, here are things I've discovered:

1. Remember that show, The Odd Couple? He's Oscar. I'm Felix (which is kinda hard to believe). Proof number one that had we just moved in together, I'd be out by now but lo and behold, we gotta work out the kinks. More on this later. Much later. I gotta digest it first.

2. When he brushes his teeth and/or shaves, I think his true intention is just to give the bathroom a 'shower' because good God, there is water EVERYWHERE.

3. Seeing he is an actively always training for something or other, he...uhm...shaves. All over. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be helping to nair my husband's back of the legs or back of his arms...it is kinda cool in a way, sorta like popping a pimple. Up until I came into his life he showed me how he did it and yes it was a messy, messy ritual. I've moved him to the shower where he gets nekkid and waits the 4 minutes or whatever it is he has to wait for. I want to take a picture....maybe when he's not looking. he he.

4. The man eats...and I mean eats. As in every 2 hours. And I've found myself eating with him- add the lack of 'training' in my schedule, I've put on like 7 lbs. I told him we're only allowed 1 meal together during the week and 2 on weekends.

and the last one for now:

5. When I'm the computer guru, the better driver and the one who can figure out directions better than anyone in my house, watch out 'cause that is not a good thing. Mr. is clueless with all of the above. The one thing we're trying to work on right now is getting me to stop driving like Mario Andredi and him to go from driving like a blind 90 year old to a semi-decent 44 year old.

Let the fun begin :)
