Yay, it’s Monday! I love Monday’s when they follow a good weekend, and especially if the work week is only 3 days long!
Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. We didn’t have anything planned, and thought we would just play it by ear. We thought about going to the movies, but decided to stay in and just catch some movies on cable. J.R. worked crazy hours, so I was busy shuffling him to and from work.
We watched Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo again, which is always great for a good laugh. We also caught the action packed Mission: Impossible III. I thought it was really good, and now I want to see I and II. Michael has seen them all, and he coined this one Mission Retarded III. LOL! No, he didn’t like it.
We ended the night by getting take out at Lucilles BBQ, which was absolutely delicious, and had a picnic on our bed while we watched The Zodiac which was slow and boring. We both dozed off for a bit watching it, but that could have been from our full bellies also.
We got a card from my mom in the mail, with a lottery scratch ticket in it. We were all excited scratching it off, but we didn’t win. It was still fun and exciting though. Thanks mom!
Over all, it ended up being a nice day, and I really enjoyed it.
I’m still here. Things have been a little nuts at work, and on the home front, so I’ve been busy dealing with all those things. J.R. got a job at a large electronics store, so he’s going to be one busy teenager during the holiday season. I’m trying to put my Halloween costume together at the last minute, as usual.
The Google Page Rank on all my blogs went down to PR2’s. That bites so bad, but there isn’t much I can do about it. I’m still indexing really well, so in the end, that is really all that matters to me.
I’m not going to make it to Blog World Expo next week, because I can’t get the time off from work. That kind of sucks, but I’ve still got things planned with the people that are coming into town for it, so I’m looking forward to those gatherings. PostieCon is on Saturday, so I will make that for sure.
Not much else to report. Oh we’re coming up on our 1st Wedding Anniversary (Nov 18th), and that’s pretty exciting. We haven’t made any definite plans for it yet, but whatever we plan, I know it will be perfect. He’s the greatest guy ever, and we’re just so happy.
I think we all have that one couple that you are constantly wondering when they are going to get married. You know the ones that have been together for years, and have kids already, but they just won’t take that next step into marriage. I know a couple like this, and at some point I’m hoping that I will be able to look at engagement gifts for them.
I came across these unique Tyrone Bell’s that come in different styles all symbolizing different things for the couple. For instance the Tyrone Bangor Bell is presented to the couple to help solve “differences,” and the Tyrone Belfast Bell is for helping the couple to be ready for all those very “happy” years of married life together. I think they are so pretty, and you can also have them engraved with the couples name.
Gosh, I didn’t realize it’s been three days since I have updated. We’ve been pretty busy, as Justin has been sick with strep throat all week long. This weekend he’s had horrible headaches, and has just been lying on the couch. We’re dosing him with Tylenol to keep the pain in check, and he just got up from the couch to play video games, so I think he’s on his way to feeling better.
J.R. is with friends out on the lake, boating and inner tubing. I almost begged him if I could go also, but then decided I would be disappointed with the answer, “no mom, it’s just the guys,” so I didn’t say anything but, “have a good time.” HA! Spending the day on the lake sounds heavenly though, and I’m glad he’s getting to enjoy it.
Michael and I went out to dinner Friday night to that really great bar I told you about once before. It was just as amazing the second time around, and we had a wonderful time. But the real fun started when we got home. *wink*wink* We’ve been needing some alone time for awhile now, and it truly was just what “the therapist ordered.” (If we were in therapy that is).
We got up early Saturday morning and had breakfast. Then we hiked the Pittman Wash. I got new hiking boots, so I needed to break them in before we did any serious hiking in the mountains. I just love them, and they are going to be perfect. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so there is flowing water in the wash that we had to cross a couple times. The water just beaded off my boots. PERFECT!
Today we spent moving my computer desk to the music room. I’ve been camping out on the couch with my laptop so I can see the TV, but it’s just doing a number on my back, and my mouse hand/arm. I’m all settled into my new desk, with Michael at his desk just a few feet away, and the TV directly in front of me through the arch way into the living room. And this setup passes the most important test. We can both lean back in our chairs, and our lips can meet for a kiss. PERFECT!
Through all the superficial things that happened over the weekend, there was some much needed positive connection happening between Michael and I, and we truly needed that to happen. And as long as we can recognize that we need to do something to get back in sync, and the things we do actually do, sync us back together, then all the world is PERFECT!
Michael called me 5 times yesterday, and today he’s called 4 times. The last time was to tell me that he misses me. Awwwwww, I love that man, and I miss him so much. I just thought I would share.
