10 Things I've Never Done

With my big 40 only being 14 days away, I figured I would share a few things that I have yet to do...some of them are silly and some are ones I actually would like to do, preferably sooner rather than later.

Things You Should Never Say/Ask Your Wife

Happy Saturday people! 15 days until Christmas, ugh. I would really rather just skip this holiday altogether and go straight to 2012. I figured it's only fair that since I did a "things you should never ask your husband" post, I will do one on things you should never ask your wife. Some of these have actually been said to me by an ex, and I will post the exact reaction I gave them. (Mr. Husband, this isn't in anyways about you, relax)

Things You Should Never Say To/Ask Your Husband

I love Mr. Husband. And most of the time, I can ask him anything. I love the fact that we can talk about most things. I also know where to draw the line when asking him questions. I think there are questions that you should never ask your husband unless you are just outright being spiteful or looking for an argument.

Friday Mind Dump

  I will be the first to admit it. I have some sort of creativity block going on. I have my novel to work on, a children's book, and this blog. Nothing is there. 

  December just seems like it's going to be a not so good month for me. And a lot has happened this year, I lost my dad, got married, lost friends, had 2 new grand-babies born, gone into what seems like perimenopause and this month I will be turning 40. That's crap ton of shit to absorb. I know there are people out there that are worse off than me and that I should be feeling thankful, but my hormones won't allow for it. It has to get better, ya know? 

Quirky, Snarky, and Douchebaggery

I really just needed to say those three words. That's all. Mr. Husband and I made a trip to Best Buy today and bought a few new movies that were super cheap, including the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy. He got it for half off so he's been like a small child all night. He's watched all of them back to back. It's got something like 15 hours of extra stuff on it and each movie is anywhere from 30-45 minutes longer than the original ones. So here it is, 2:45 am and I am bouncing off the walls from caffeine, cookie cake, and apple pie sugary overload.   I am pretty sure before the holiday season is over, I will not be able to fit into any of my pants.

Random Thoughts of the Day...

November Thanks 2011

You all knew it was coming. I really didn't want to do a "thankful" blog as it seems everyone is doing these in blogs and all over Facebook. But there are a few things I am genuinely thankful for this year and I really need to put them out there. 
  Fall always makes me feel nostalgic. I love everything about it. The turning of the leaves, the crunch of the leaves under my feet, the holidays and family time, the crispness in the air...everything about Fall makes me happy. This year, there has been a death, a birth, and a marriage for starters.
  As I stated in my November 2010 blog, "People shouldn't be thankful for things just in the month of November. They should be thankful for something every day that they are alive. With all it's ups and downs, life is still a wonderful thing, and by far, better than the alternative."

Failed bath Attempt...Again

In a previous post, I mentioned how much I love to soak in a nice, hot bath. I also mentioned that I tend to fail in doing so because, let's face it, I am not the most patient woman in this world. Cooking something in a microwave seems like an eternity and I normally end up with food that is cold in the middle. Waiting for packages to come in the mail will cause me to not sleep for days. Even when I know they will be here on a designated day, I still can't sleep until said package has actually arrived. If I am going somewhere the next day, say, Disneyland, yeah, this woman is not sleeping at all. Doesn't matter that I have been there 12+ times in the 3 years I've been in California, the anticipation and wanting morning to come will keep me awake most of the night. So why would my bath time be any different? In order to see just how impatient I am, I actually took it upon myself to time my bath two nights ago. I had a book and had planned a nice soaking session, with some reading and relaxing as my main goal. This is what actually happened...
