The Baddest One Around

Sometime you do things for people that you love, like go see bands you don’t like. I fact i don’t like Les Claypool isn’t a secret. Bob also knows that i love him enough to go and see The Kernel every few months. As of this coming Saturday I will have seen Les Claypool a total of 4 times in under a year.

When i looked behind me and saw Bob dancing to wacky music I don’t get I thought three things:

One) He looks uber happy and I would do anything to see him smile that big.

Two) White boys can’t dance.

Three) I can’t wait to see Les play this coming Saturday, if only to watch Bob !

Bad News Comes Don’t You Worry Even When It Lands

Things to do when you think you are going think you are going to see Modest Mouse (Bob’s current favorite band) in Reno but due to technical issues with Ticket Master can’t:

Check Ticket Master often to make sure that you really can’t get tickets.

Get a fish name it Gilbert the Beta Fish. Call him Gil for short. Bob and I both love fish. Must have something to do with my last name being Salmon (Oh no! As i write this i remembered that i forgot to feed him this morning. New responsibility, keep Gil alive!) I should have made a sticky note that reminds me to feed him.

See The Visitor. It is a flawless movie. One that nothing should be changed, added, or deleted. If you see it, it may end up on your list of top movies like me.

The New Metric System

While celibrating Memorial Day at the river i over heard a bicyclist’s  conversation.

“…he riped the paper about the size of a big bird poop…”

I wish i were on a bike so i could eavesdrop more and hear the rest of that sentence.

Unleaded Drinks and Good Times

Since I’m not living with Bob any more I want to have pictures of him in my new home I’m having trouble finding a balance between having him in pictures and building a shrine to him.

I’m excited. I turn 24 June 15^th and will be celibrating Father’s day and my birthday with my entire family. Then on the 21^st I’m throwing myself a birthday party. Since I don’t drink it is going to be a Mocktail party. I’m having so much fun planning it that I have almost forgotten all of lives wows.

We Could All Use a Little Change

About a year and a half ago I was single and miserable. I know that those two things don’t always go together, but in my case they did. I was still dealing with issues from my last relationship and coming to realized that I hadn’t dealt with some things that should have been taken care of long ago. It wasn’t until the end of 2006 beginning of 2007 I that I even started accepting there were some monumental personal issues that I need to work on. As soon as I started working on me I met Bob. We feel in love. We moved in. I redacted my self to my faith. I moved out.

Beginning of March ( 2008 ) I realized that I had used Bob to cover up all of the issues I hadn’t yet dealt with. He is so good for me is so many ways, but I don’t feel like I can take the time and space to heal while living with him. Plus I don’t feel like I can’t fully exercised my faith while living with a man who I’m not married to. We didn’t brake up; I just moved out. Through all of this he has stood by my side. He is stronger then I ever knew. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for giving me Bob and I thank Bob everyday for standing by me while I mend myself.

This is the reason for the blog. I just need a place where i can express how hard it is to actually deal with issues instead of hiding from them.

Judgment at Church

I Think I Left My Towel on the Floor

I just moved and for the past month I have envisioning how my new home would run. Each morning and night at my old apartment I would imagine what my routine would be once I moved. Well I moved. And they routine is coming along, kinda. I thought that all the envisioning would magically transform me into someone who makes my bed everyday. I am sad to report that the reality is I struggled to make my bed four days.

I even signed up for FlyLady’s email list to help me get organized. Now my inbox is infested with flies!!! I can’t keep up with all the emails that they send. However, I do like there little by little philosophy. I appreciate that FlyLady reminds the “FlyBabies” that their house didn’t become dirty over night, so don’t expect it to become clean and perfect over night.

Small changes I have been able to make since I moved:

One) Go to bed with a clean kitchen

Two) Make my lunch the night before

Three) Read every night before bed and have my lights out before 10:30

My goals for next week:

One) Make my bed all seven days

Two) Eat out only once

Three) Put away all clean close (putting the clean hamper in the closet doesn’t count)

House Rules

I could see as I started walking up the stairs that he wasn’t wearing a shirt. I stopped and got the deer in headlights look.

“What?”

Covering my eyes “Is the rest of you…you know…naked?”

“No”

“I’m so relived”

“Just for the record, as your brother and roommate, I NEVER want you to see me naked!”
