To anyone out there who actually still follows my blog I'd like to say...
(Have you ever seen Simon Birch? If not you should...just ignore the blowing up part at the end I couldn't find a clip without it)
Ok, ok...so I admit it has been a shameful amount of time since I last blogged. But in my defense, I had a lot going on. And then after a few weeks of not blogging I realized how much I had to catch up on and I just let it snowball...and here we are almost 6 months later with no new blogs. Ahhh!!! If procrastination is a communicable disease then anyone who knows me should go get checked out. But let me see if I can sufficiently sum up the past 6 months for you:
1) I had a job with a real estate company. It sucked. Working in an office on a computer 45 hours a week can make you very depressed and irritable. If you don't believe me ask my family or Michael and they will testify that it is true. So I quit. Voila...my life is back. On the flip side I sadly have no income because I haven't bothered getting another job yet...I'll explain why....
2) Toby picked up the wonderful habit of running away. Once for over an hour. It makes me feel like a horrible parent. How would you feel if every time you opened the door your child ran for the hills like they couldn't wait to escape you? However I think it is mostly because he misses being outside. In Utah he practically lived in our backyard. And now Texas has been too hot and he gets too stinky if I let him out. Sorry but Mom doesn't want our sofas smelling like nasty doggy so you will have to continue to lust for the wild through the glass Tobster. On the bright side he is starting to take me more seriously when he does get away. In fact a week or so ago when the UPS man made his daily eBay delivery (due to my mom's recent discovery of the 'internet') Toby bolted out the door. But I yelled at him so loud he literally stopped and pooped...I think I scared the crap out of him. His tendency has been reduced by 50% since.
3) I am dating Michael Nelson. Yeah, yeah...I know you all already knew and it's so obvious why even bother...but if you DIDN'T happen to know it seems like a big chunk to leave missing out of the last six months. He is wonderful, I'm not gonna lie. In the first week of us dating he brought me roses...twice. When I would go to bed at night with roses on each of my nightstands I felt like Cleopatra. But besides the fact that he is a romantic he has been such a great blessing in my life as well. We are best buds and spend most every day together. But I don't want you all to vomit and stop reading my blog because of all the 'mushy' stuff, so we will ration it and come back to Michael some other time.
4) I do not like sushi. I tried it once like two years ago, but recent attempts have confirmed my previous hypothesis. I do not like sushi.
5) I saw a dead body for the first time. There was a really bad wreck on the highway and I was dead stop across from it. The person was flung from their car and laying on the highway. Paramedics or whoever hadn't gotten there yet to cover the body. I definitely see death differently now. It's more real. I know that may seem stupid...we see blood and gore and death continuously on tv and movies. But seeing it firsthand is totally different and not something you easily forget.
6) My aversion to nuts has been reduced. I can now eat nuts in cakes and muffins. But that's as far as I'll take it for now.
Ok...so there's a teeny weeny update. More to come.
