Sorry

So much to say and no desire to write.

So many times I have constructed these blog entries in my head, but just never had the urge to sit down and type it out. I am unsure how much longer this blog will continue. So I apologize if you check this on a regular basis - my heart is not here right now.

Anyway just to keep you all posted here are a few updates.

Dave has a new job. The commute is longer but the job itself is fabulous. I haven't seen him this happy to go to work in a while. I think it was a realy good move for him career wise, both for his immediate career goals and his future career goals.

We had an amazing honeymoon. So beautiful and relaxing. I became a little tan obsessed, which is hard to be when you are as pale I am.

My job is getting better. I am not a mom, but I hope that if I ever am I will remember everything I have learned from this job.

Okay that is it from here. I will try...I really will

Watch your back

I scared someone today. I didn't mean too, but I sure enjoyed it.

I was driving home from work today. Minding my own business when this stupid SUV tried to take me out...not once, but twice. I mean the guy clearly wanted to switch lanes, but like I said I was chugging along minding my own business. I would have known I was in his blind spot if he put on his blinker to indicate that he as switching lanes...but no. He veered into my lane and swerved back and than did it again. I layed on my horn mostly to let him know I was there. (I am from VT where we only beep when we know you, so honking my horn in anger is completely unnatural for me). Anyway, He switched lanes and got off at the next exit. Since my gas light was on, I also got off at the next exit. Gas is cheaper at this exit. He turned right off the exit, I did too- to get to the gas station. He turned left into the gas station. I put my left blinker on. I would have never said anything to this guy. The bottom line is there are two gas stations across the street from each other. The one on the left is $0.05 cheapers. Although I thought about using the other gas station to avoid confrontation I decided out of principle I would buy the cheaper gas. I pulled into the gas station, the SUV immediately pulled out. HA! I think he thought I as following him.

I pumped my gas and got back in my car. I felt some satisfaction that his stupid driving had at least forced him to spend a little extra cash at the pump. I mean I saved myself at least $0.50...

Play that Funky Music

I am sick of looking at that last post.

A lot is happening here. Dave has a great new job. It can't start soon enough. He will have a commute, but he will be so much happier there (read they gave him some sort of power). It does mean that he will no longer be my stand by lunch date and 4 nights a week I will have to cook my own dinner and eat alone. So for me his new job sucks and since this is MY blog this is the only place it can be about me. In all seriousness, this job could be a huge stepping stone for Dave.

I, on the other hand, have been in a total funk. I am not at all happy at work. I love the kids. I even like most of the people I work with. I can't put my finger on what is so awful, but it is something. I am sure it will pass, I will make my self feel better by doing a few job searches, but in the end it will all work itself out.

I think our tropical vacation coming up in 3 weeks will help usher this funk out... actually I am sure of it.

Something a little different

I don't ususally post stuff like this, but there are exceptions to every rule

 25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP

25. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

24. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

23. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

22. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

21. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

20. You watch the Weather Channel.

19. Your friends marry and divorce instead of 'hook up' and 'break up.

18. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

17. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as dressed up.

16.You're the one calling the police because those kids next
door won't turn down the stereo.


15. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.


14. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.


13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.


12. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.


11. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.


10.You take naps.


9. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one .


8.Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.


7. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.


6. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer pretty good stuff.


5. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.


4. 'I just can't drink the way I used to' replaces 'I'm never going to drink that much again.


3. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.


2.When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking 'Oh my god what the hell happened?'


And the number one sign you are getting old is:


1. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one. Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll do the same damned thing.

--- How about the fact that this was sent to me and had a few swears in it. I deleted them because (a) my mom reads this and (b) they weren't necessary.

Blogs

My life is not interesting. Now that wedding planning is over I really have nothing to say. I am not going to stop blogging- I like hearing myself think. So here are my recent thoughts:

** Why doesn't everyone blog? Jenna, you are home with some adorable and ridiculously funny children. They nap once and a while, your house is always immaculate, so why not blog? Or Cels...we have talked about blogging before. You are at an incredible place in your life - fill us in on the details. Craw, I know you are saving your juicy campaign trail stories for a book, but how about a sneak preview???

** How is it that some people are making money on this blogging nonsence? Do tell.

**I need a new job (see thought number 2).

** I have been married for a month, how crazy is that? Time flies.

Sorry this post is lame. I got nothing, but I will work on it.

I know my first name is Steven

There is a three year old I know, he has a super cool first name, but recently has decided that he wants to be called Boo Bah. I love it. I make it a point to swing by his room at least 5 times during the day just to ask Boo Bah how his day is going. I love it mostly because it reminds me of a time when Little Bird insisted she be called Steven. Remember that? Oh how we tormented that poor child. I think it was approximately three days before she gave up the dream and went back to her birth name. I still chuckle thinking about how much fun that was.

Farwell to a Crab ... and other stuff

Our crab died last week. TC (The Crab..would have been The Hermit Crab, but THC implies we live a much cooler lifestyle than we actually do) was a good crab. We got him when we lived on The Cape. He loved to hang out, he loved to crawl around on the apartment floor. He had the best personality. If you don't believe me you should meet our other crab Paco. TC was never a crab meant to live in the wild. He would stay in his shells long after he had outgrown them. He was innocent. He never knew fear. Long ago, when we first got him, we would play this game. He would run around in is waaaayy to small of a shell and I would pretend my hand was a bird and swoop down and touch him. I tried to explain to him the importance of protection, but he was young and fearless. Ahhh crabs. But it was his time (and by that I mean I have been over having pet hermit crabs for about a year). Poor Paco is greiving, but he'll be fine...

In other news - work has been awful lately. I find myself seeking solice in toddler rooms. Have you ever been in a room of 10 two year olds?...yeah, I consider it peaceful if that tells you anything.

Dave is doing great. Nothing seems to phase him. If calm, cool and collected were an olympic events he would totally medal.

Anyone on Twitter? I can't seem to figure it out. Is it any good? Right now I hate it, but I have been wrong in the past. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Also this DGM entry cracked me up.

Okay- Bye

Seriously?!?

We have an on going problem in the Simple Wedding house. You see when we are just hanging out I am usually on the computer and Dave is usually flipping through the channels on the TV.  TV gets old quick when you only have 20 channels. It bores me. However, that is not the problem. The problem is at least twice a week, when I look up from my computer to see what show Dave has settled on it is : ONE TREE HILL.


One Tree Hill...that is a little like Dawson Creek, right? I mean D. Creek was fine (although I still blame them from the fall of Beverly Hills 90210) ten years ago. I am pretty sure I just married the only human (not to mention male) over the age of 20 who is addicted to this teen drama. Oy!

Success

Well, it is over and done and Dave and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. We succeeded in having a simple, yet elegant event with our family and friends. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did. We will post pictures when they are available. Until then we are enjoying a couple of days catching up on sleep and spending time together. Back to work tomorrow. Can't wait until the honeymoon.

Check out our cake!

Nervous yet?

What kind of question is that? Nervous about what? I don't even know how to answer when people ask. What is there to be nervous about? Am I nervous that the whole day will go off without a hitch? Not really. I am sure everything won't run as smoothly as it does in my head, especially because I often forget to tell people how I want it to go. But no one will notice but me and maybe Dave. Am I nervous about everyone having a good time. Nope, don't really care. You will have fun if you want to and if you don't you won't. It is that simple. So I don't know why I should be nervous. Just for fun, let me ask Dave...( he is playing a video game so this should be interesting)

Me: You nervous yet?
D: About what?
Me:About the wedding?
D:No should I be? Am I suppose to be? Nervous about what? The fact that I have to spend the rest of my life with you, no never. I am nervous that there a lot of dead guys in this game I am playing. That makes me nervous.

There you have it folks.
