The hubs sent me a message last week informing me that he missed my posts. I was really touched by this, and then immediately started to worry if I communicate better through my blog than in person.
That aside, I want to explain. We lost our internet for a week. 7. LONG. DAYS. Including a weekend. Dan and I fought for the first time since December during these 7 days. The last time was when we were in a car together for 15 hours returning from vacation with my family to Texas.
To me, this was a sign that I am too dependent on my internet. Lack of food, water, shelter. These things would lead to unhappiness and lashing out at the husband. Not, no internet. I was ashamed.
So, I have cut down on my usage, meaning no blog. And, now I’m back. I tend to believe nothing in excess, everything in moderation. I include under indulgence as an excess.
With that said, here is what I’ve been up to:
- I am ALMOST finished with the baby blanket that I’ve been working on for 7 years (5 more rows!)
- My nephew turned 7 and we had a family skating party. I was sore for a week.
- I started going to the gym after work, giving up on being self motivated at home.
- I have developed the best low carb chocolate chip cookie recipe ever.
- I am in the process of converting an old changing table into a bar (which can be converted back if needed).
- Dan and I booked a vacation to St. Louis for Memorial Day weekend.
- I signed up for a 6 day work conference in Vermont in July.
- I bought a new bathing suit.
- Our Bonnaroo bracelets came in!
- I’ve started to learn Italian (Che una macchina piccolo. There is a small car.)
- I colored my hair for the first time since undergrad.
- I fell in love with my new coffee machine.
- I’m trying a new self-motivation technique to help me with work.
My goals for this week are: to run 3 times this week, hit the tanning bed 2-3 times, blog 2 more times, and finish the bar.
Happy Monday!
