Oh little lady...

Home alone again. It only happens 2 nights a week (if I'm lucky) but it doesn't make it suck any less. I hate that I have to sleep alone, that I don't get a goodnight kiss or even a snuggle. I'm envious of those couples that get to spend every night together....even though some times I'm thankful for the time to myself to watch things like Hef's runaway bride or Real housewives of orange county. I know Im whining and there are military couples that spend months apart but im whinny so there it is.

Still no closer to forcing him into a pet. I've been desperate for a kitten since I moved. Originally a year ago...I wanted to get a dog in the worst way...Then E got her dog and C got her cats and so i decided that was enough pets for one apartment and it wouldn't have been fair to the animal to bring him into that situation. Soooo when I moved here I was over the moon about FINALLY being able a pet. However he doesn't want a pet...i have gotten the following reasons...the cost (if you would like to donate to the get me a cat fund please comment), who will take care of it (duh, i will) and who will watch it when we go on a multitude of vacations (what vacations? we neverrrr go anywhere over night). It's incredibly frustrating to want something so bad while he seems so nonchalant about it.

What are your thoughts? Am I overreacting? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?



PS. Holly Madison is supremely cooler than Crystal Harris. Crystal is awful....she has a laugh worst than Kendra and is pretty much a horrible person. The End.

Noah's Ark

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark:

1. Don't miss the boat.

2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.

3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do

something really big.

5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

6. Build your future on high ground.

7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the

cheetahs.

9. When you're stressed, float a while.

10. Remember the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

We are wild and free, so call us freaks, but thats just the way we roll!

So I'm going to be a bit scattered today...

Monte Carlo was very cute but very much a teen girl movie. It was the perfect movie to see by myself while he was at work. I even got free popcorn out of it from Yahoo!

Horrible Bosses wasn't horrible. Jennifer Anniston was hilariously crude...really all the bosses were fantastic but other than that I thought the film fell short of how funny it should have been. Like most recent films, the funniest parts were in the commercials.

Zagg is a company that makes protective casings for all of your techie needs. Why am I talking about Zagg on my blog? Because if the stock goes over $15 a share for more than a week, I get to go to Disneyland! No seriously, my beau told me I could go to Disneyland if it gets $15 or more! SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUY ZAGG!!!! www.Zagg.com



My inspirational thought for the day (brought to you by my little sisters best friend):


This is how it works, you're young until you're not. you love until you don't. you try until you can't. you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh, and everyone must breathe until their dying breath.

The times they are a changin'

My baby sister is graduating. I can't even being to comprehend this...she is 18...she is able to vote, smoke or buy lottery tickets. Where did the little girl who loved her binkie and couldn't say ravioli properly? I want her back!

I know I sound like a mother right now but there are 6 years in between us...so in a way i am like a mother to her...but the really cool mom. The one who lets you get away with tons of shit and you can tell everything to.

Now my baby is off to college. She is going to a different school than the rest of her friends...I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing yet. She is going to a co-ed school though and will be playing sports so I feel like she will be able to make friends quite rapidly. She also always been a social butterfly so Im not worried about her.

I went to one of the few remaining all female colleges in the country. It was a wonderful experience but I honestly don't recommend it to anyone. It was very hard without the easiness that guys seem to add to things. I wouldn't change my experience because it really taught me how to survive completely on my own. It wasn't the 'typical' college experience that you see in movies but it suited me at the time.

Dove shirts

Has anyone else seen that commercial where the Dove girl cut the sleeves off their shirts? How did they make them look so fabulous?! Someone please instruct me how to do this!

I'm up to late and far to emotional....

I'm pretty sure I was in love with him before I ever met him. I had been living with his sister for about 7 or 8 months and had heard stories about her wonderful big brother. At that point it was indiscriminate who he went to...me or Emily would have been sufficient. I remember one day we were shopping at Old Navy and as we were walking back to the car, his sister said something about how we would start dating.

I fell in love with the man who built his ex an advent calender for christmas one year...who let his little sister hang out with him and his friends...who fiercely protected his friends, much like I do with mine.

I love him. I do but is that enough if he doesn't want to get married and have babies or even move so I can be close to my family? Will he always be enough for me? I've always wanted the quintessential adult life...a nice house with a dog and a fence, a good job, children and a husband to make dinner for. What if he doesn't want the same things?

I know what you are going to say....
Well why don't you just ask him?

But I have and I get vague answers like "we'll see" and "maybe".

I'm distressed but hopefully Ill figure it out soon.

Is this who I am?

My mother has always told me three things. Wait to have babies because you will always have them, always trust your gut and don't ever change your life for a man.

So far I have listen to two out of the three. I am still unchild-ed and I have always trusted my gut. I chose not to listen to the last bit of advice. Not because I don't think it is a fabulous piece of advice but because I found a man that I think is worth it.

We met over a year ago in the most magical place on earth. He came down to visit his sister who was one of my roommates at the time. It started rather oddly, which is how I like all my good stories to begin. He came from the airport and I was asleep on the couch and he brought me pizza. We hung out for the next week going to theme parks and seeing shows. When he was leaving I was to shy to say anything to him.

After he left I sent him a text message and it snowballed from there. We started out texting pirates jokes back and forth, then we actually started talking and FINALLY in May he came back down to ask me out on a proper date. So we saw each other every other month and talked daily. We have even been on a cruise together. It got to the point though that something needed to happen...either I move to Massachusetts or he moved to Florida.

So you can see why I chose to uproot my entire life in order to be with him.
