Thing(s) I Want To Say To An Ex

Wow...this one isn't a fun one at all for me. Not because I have a bad ex or anything, I just don't really talk with him or anything anymore (despite our many conversations saying we'd remain friends...pssht!). I guess the only thing I could say is I think he still sucks for not taking me to see Spider Man, but I don't really give our past relationship a lot of thought. Oh I guess I'd also say he was way wrong about Larry (I believe his word to be were "you shouldn't date that Bradsby boy, he's no good" HA!) and I'm glad he was (or that I didn't listen) because I got me a good one.

I am grateful to have a past relationship and how much it showed me in life, but honestly it's behind me and there's nothing I would go back and change about it really. We dated for about a year and a half and then one summer he broke it off and while it was hard at the time, it was definitely the right time to end things. I met Larry 2 months later, we started dating the following month and have been together ever since. Things work out in funny ways sometimes.

Sorry this one was kind of lame, but this blog isn't about past relationships, it's about my current one and I don't see the need to dwell or ramble on about the past with it. So until next time...

Bullet My Whole Day

So since it's a Wednesday this one probably won't be too exciting, but I doubt any others would be crazy either so here goes:

My Day Today

• Woke up at 7 to a mixture of my alarm and my cats cuddling/pushing on me for food. Immediately go to the bathroom and fill the food dish to avoid future consequence from them.
• From 7 to 8 I watched Dexter on my laptop while Larry started his workday and I got ready for mine.
• 8-8:30 driving to work
• 8:30-5 a mixture of work, partying, a little gossip, and trying to make a dr. apt (turns out it's MUCH harder than I thought when switching to a new doctor...ugh!)
• 5-5:30 driving home, listening to music, talking to myself a bit...the usual.
• 5:30 Arrive home, pet kitties, greet Larry, bathroom stop (like clockwork)
• 5:30-6:30 Larry and I talk about our days, re-heat leftovers for dinner, watch Larry do dishes, and then watch our show while we eat (on the floof in the living room, never on a table really).
• 6:30-6:40 look up how to cancel our cable (we're switching to Dish on Friday) and establish that I should wait till tomorrow since I have shows recording on the DVR tonight.
• 6:40-7 Look up other doctors to call tomorrow to try and make an apt. Have to call my mom to find out what some of the verbage means on them and we talk for a few minutes. Finally I find one I really like and am hopeful I can get into (fingers are SUPER crossed right now).
• 7 to 7:20 Enter in data into My Fitness Pal App for dinner to see how many calories I've consumed. I'm  happy to see the app say I've eaten too few so I go grab a chocolate Chewy bar from the pantry to add.
• 7:20 to 7:30 Start this blog post while also randomly surfing the web...I guess I could go read.
• 7:30 to 8:30 read my book while Oscar and Minnie cuddled with me (our nightly ritual)
• 8:30 to 9 went on a bike ride while Larry ran. We did three laps around our neighborhood. I love these nights :)
• 9 to now, surfing the internet again, and finishing this post. Now it's time to get ready for bed (or watch Dexter for a little bit and then get ready for bed).

I know, I live such an exciting life. It was a good day today, but nothing exciting usually happens. Usually while I'm on my computer Larry's is playing games so at least we're kind of spending time together.

Until next time...

A Book I Love

Wow...this one is kind of a hard one for me. Not because I don't have a book I love, there are tons of books I love for all different reasons. If I had to choose one, though, I would probably choose...

I know, I know, another sappy love story. Nicholas sparks = chick book/flick. But this one is much different than his other stories. Every time I read one of his books Larry rolls his eyes and usually says something like "I know what it will be about: girl loves boy, boy loves girl, something bad happens, someone dies, everyone cries, the end." While that isn't far from the truth with his books, that's not the case with this one. This is a wonderfully romantic story about AFTER marriage and being together for a long time. It's about a couple who have been married for thirty years and their marriage hits a bump in the road from basically becoming used to each other. The wife is the daughter of Noah and Allie (from The Notebook) so the husband kind of has a lot to live up to in terms of making things right with them. I won't give away anything, but it's more than worth a read! Go get it today and sit down immediately...I don't think you will regret it.

That's my book that I choose for this one, it was a tough one to choose among all my books that I have, but it's definitely top of my list.

Till next time...

Something I Feel Strongly About

So since I already mentioned my love of animals in the last post this time I'll do my next big thing I feel strongly about: Gay Rights.

I'm not exactly sure why this one is a big one for me, except that I think it's pretty crappy to discriminate a group of people just because you don't agree with their lifestyle. If it's not hurting anyone (and make any BS argument you want about if this is hurting anyone, it's completely untrue) then just let them be! I've had gay friends growing up and seeing how hard it was for them to just be themselves, even with just their parents, broke my heart. Not that I feel it's important, but just so everyone knows I am (obviously) not gay, haven't been gay, nothing like that. But I think I can understand how hard it is to feel different and be so afraid to tell certain people in your life (announcing our atheism was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, for me at least).

This is one of my hot button issues, if you don't agree with this then don't tell me about it because I will straight up knock you on your ass with facts that go against you and I will not feel bad about it either. There are a few things I will stand up and fight with/against and this is one of my biggest ones. There has only been on person in my life that didn't agree with it and when it came up I just told them to stop talking because I'm sure what I have to say is enough to lose some people in my life with and I didn't want that to be an issue with this person. But that's the only time I would probably give a person a chance to stop because I feel so passionately about this and I don't think it would ever change.

So if you come across me and you agree we can talk about it just fine. But if you disagree, just don't let it become a topic of discussion. That is all :)

Till next time...

Five Ways To Win My Heart

So the first one on the 30 day challenge is:

FIVE WAYS TO WIN MY HEART

 

1. Be funny! I can't stand if people are too stuck up or boring to be able to laugh at themselves (or me!). I will flat out make myself the group jester if it means everyone will laugh. If I tell a joke and don't get a laugh it will bring me down a bit, I'll admit. I think if you can laugh and make jokes and everything you are 10X more interesting to me. But note: no one is funnier for me than my husband so don't even try :)
2. Don't be too afraid to try new things. I am always willing to try something once. My mom always said "try it once, if you don't like it you don't ever have to do it again" and I think that's a good way to look at things. If it wasn't for such awesome advise as that I wouldn't love roller coasters or be as adventurous as I am today (say what you will about my love of spreadsheets, I love adventures too!).
3. Love animals. I'm sure anyone who knows me knows this is the first, most important thing to me. I'm an animal freak! Don't tell me about a time an animal was lost, killed, hurt, or scared, I don't take those stories too lightly. I will literally cover my eyes and ears if it comes up on a movie (and one time on a cartoon...seriously). I am one of those freaks that can watch movies/shows like Saw, but if you show me your hunting "trophies" I will avoid you.
4. Bring me candy! I've got such a freaking sweet tooth it's insane. I will eat pretty much any candy there is out there. And I ALWAYS overdo it with it, but I just can't stop...I'll take the cavities, I don't care. That being said, now that I'm watching my calories (just to help me lose extra lbs. I've had for a while) I've had to cut down and it hasn't even been slightly easy, but I'm doing it.
5. Don't tell me how to bowl better. Oh man, this is a big one. I'm a terrible bowler, just awful. I think my highest score was 80 one time, but I absolutely love going bowling. Maybe not EVERY weekend, but I could probably do once a month. If I'm going, it's to have fun, it is NOT to become a professional. I can't tell you how much it kills the fun when I bowl and realize it's a gutter ball and when I turn around someone is right there to tell me what I could've done better. I will NEVER bowl with you again if you do that.

So that's how you do it, but again, my heart really belongs to my husband so this is a good way just to become a good friend of mine (assuming you can get past my awkwardness...sorry).
