So Long, Farewell.

So long, farewell to my days of sitting around the house and watching Grey's Anatomy. Adieu to those days of calling Labor Ready at 6 am to see if they had work. Sianara to feeling listless and useless after a day of solitary confinement. I have a job! I start on monday and I am so excited! I can't hardly stand it!! Bring on the employment! oh baby oh baby. This is a short post, but a post none the less in honor of my new career.

At ze-how you say- Zoo

Yesterday I was DYING to get out of the house, I have been pretty much a sitting duck for a little bit as we only have one car running properly and guess which one that is? The GAS GUZZLER (dun dun dun!) sounds like a mighty tough wrestler huh? Anyway, Leo is so stinkin' busy and now his assignments are beginning to be due and he didn't have time to take me on Saturday. What is a newly married young adult to do? The only possible solution...Call her best gal pal in St. Louis! Amber and I walked from her house to the zoo at Forest Park. This was a delight and it gave us a chance to catch up and talk about the men we love so much. It gave us a chance to talk about Amber's job and my lack of employment. ( I do have a job interview in the morning though, so cross your fingers!) it gave us a chance to break in Jamie's flip flops and give her 5-count them- 5! Blisters. (one popped on the walk home thankyou very much) Anyway, we went to the butterfly house which was truly triumphant and most tranquil. We saw some very cute pygmy monkeys and a burrowing owl, now that is adorable! All in all it was a great day, not too hot, hangin woth my bud Amber, seeing some wild animals, yes my friends, a much needed break from my laziness.

The Convention of the Ugly Truth

While marriage is a beautiful order sanctioned by God, it does come with its trials. One of these include sharing the bed with another person when you are both use to having your own queen bed! Another is realizing that, well, thats pretty much it. Being married is so lovely and Leo definitely is a joy to be with. The Lord truly blessed me. Insert Janine's *GAG* here. She says I only have 11 more months and then I am expected to be back to normal. Leo works like crazy and does school full time and still somehow figures out a way for us to spend a little bit of time with eachother everyday. I believe that he is buttering me up for the next 8 years that I will never see him, and then the rest of his working life in which I will only see the money he brings home. The children will all have engraved lockets which read "My Dad" with a picture of Leo so they remember what he looks like. Maybe he will just start doing what Janine's husband does. When she says he isn't as romantic he tells her that he used to woo her with chocolates and ballets, now he woos her with financial security.
Ladies....so, your man works ALOT, and he needs time to veg out at the end of the day, and every once in a while he goes to bed without cuddling you, SHUT UP! Would you rather he is always around, telling you what to buy for dinner, how you prepared it wrong, asking why his socks are still on the floor, while he sits on the bed reading a WWII novel? Be grateful that your husband believes in his role of a provider and a MAN and takes care of those financial needs. I know that I am!
