Thinking before Speaking....

Most people go through this. That moment when your with a group of people, drinking, having a good time and you say something that sounded totally funny in your head, but came across offensive.

The other day, I heard something that bewildered me. I heard this phrase "Enjoy being a newly wed because that feeling doesn't last". I am sure the look on my face showed it all. My bewilderment, and my irritation.

"Enjoy it, because the feeling doesn't last"?

Why wouldn't the feeling of being a newly wed last? It should always last. Whether you have been married 5 days or 65 years, that newly wed feeling should never fade. I wanted to say to this person "Maybe you married a man who doesn't know how to make it feel new anymore" but of course, I held my tongue.

This bothered me a great deal. Knowing that someone would actually say this to someone. Besides the fact that I indeed am a newly wed, just made it that much more irritating.

Think before you speak.

I thank God everyday for my husband. Whether it's a fabulous day or the worst day, I still go home, hug and kiss him and thank him for all he does for me and most importantly for us.

Marriage isn't easy. It takes a lot of hard work, compromise, and communication. But the Beatles were right when they said "All you need is Love".

There is nothing worse than....

1) Disorganization. I depise it. I want everything to be neat and organized. I feel like my apartment is too small to understand this pet peeve. My husband doesn't seem to understand it either. An organized closet, dresser drawers, and dvd cabinets just make a girl feel better, am I right?

As I sit here, starting out my day with a cup of pumpkin spice decaf coffee, all I keep thinking about is, how it is not going to get organized itself. So why my husband is on his 1 week business trip, I may have to use that time to organize everything.

I never realized how tired I am now that I am a wife. I honestly didn't think it would make much difference. Trying to balance not just 1 but 2 life scehdules is completely exhausting in itself. I don't even want to think of how tired I will be once I am a mother. Gulp.


2) People coming to work sick. Honestly. If you have strep throat and now 6 of your co workers have it's probably because you thought you would try to be the good employee and come into work even though you looked and felt like death could come at any minute. Just stay home. People will not judge you and it's not even healthy for you. Also, it may take 4 weeks now to get rid of, can't say we didn't warn you...

3) Bad Listeners. If you ask me a question and I start to awnser, don't start then talking about how fabulous your weekend was, it leaves me perplexed and I feel I should start over and begin to awnser your question that you asked me originally.

4) Election Commericials: Words cannot explain how delighted I am that after tomorrow, those political commericials and phone calls will be over. No. More.


However.....this morning when I woke up and was getting ready to leave for work, I realized I have found my kryptonite. Which is, seeing my husband all cuddled in a blanket, holding my childhood stuffed animal(elephant) and his childhood stuffed animal(fred, the puppy) while he snores loudly. As I kissed him goodbye, he said in the sweestest voice "I love you more, and have a good day sunshine".
