It feels like it has been FOREVER since I have written a blog post.....and it has. Sorry to all of you 28 subscribers. I've let you down. What has my life been like lately? Work. That's right. Just work. Way way way too much work! But no more of that. I'm back to working my 2 days a week that I had been hired for and life is starting to feel slightly more normal (in that I have way more time to come up with excuses of why I can't work out and have to watch Netflix instead). We got a new puppy! His name is Duke and he is super sweet and wonderful! We've had him for just over a month and he's grown a little in that time. If you don't know dog breeds, Duke is a Great Dane. He spends the majority of his day sleeping on our couch and stealing my shoes. I appreciate his lazy lifestyle. It's been fitting in well with mine. We try to go for frequent walks. I have to bribe him with treats to g...

My husband and I had an interesting conversation the other day while discussing purchasing a new vehicle. I've been wanting this vehicle for quite some time, but the rational, budget side of me says to wait. He, on the other hand, feels that I need it now. I already have a vehicle. It runs and it's not actually that old. He feels that I should get what I "want". He eventually asked me if owning this vehicle would make me happy and I said no. I immediately saw the look of confusion on his face so I added my reasoning; owning this vehicle would make me feel happiness, but it would not make me happy.
I'm not a movie person. They don't generally excite me and I find it to be a rather large waste of time to park myself in front of a screen for 2-3 hours at a time. Usually, I will wait until a movie comes out on DVD or even Netflix before I will watch it. And, even then, I won't generally watch it without getting up a time or two to change loads of laundry or make something to eat. However, there is one movie that we just had to go and see in the theatre... The Fast and Furious movies have been a part of our family from day one. These are the movies that our kids have been raised on. Anytime a Fast and Furious movie is on TV, we have to watch it. Even though we've seen it a hundred times and know each line word for word. So it wasn't a big surprise that we made it a point to visit the theatre to watch Furious 7. This movie was a great experience for us and our boys. It had the fast cars, the intensity, the unnecessary gir...
The definition of eagre is the sudden rise of tide in a river. Did you know that? I did not know that until I hit up Google for an "E" topic that was not "Easter". This was the first word on the List of unusual words beginning with E , and I was rather entertained that it appealed to me. Perhaps because I can relate to it. I relate to the suddenness of the development of emotions. Most of the time, not good emotions. Anger, frustration, and hatred can come pouring out of me to what seems extremely random to others around me. I have triggers. Certain things that will completely change my moods: snoring, heavy metal/screaming music, kids fighting, and monotone speaking. These are the 4 main things that will turn me from "pleasant to be around" to "don't eve f***ing talk to me". Currently, my husband's snoring is destroying my life. I wake from a peaceful and pleasant somber to finding myself flailing my ar...
