Yikes, It's been a long time

It has been almost 4 months since I have updated. My time goes fast sometimes with some things. I have alot of news but I am not sure why I have not updated. One of my VF's just asked about my blog so I thought I would write something. I am going to schedule sometime this weekend to fill my blog up with all sorts of fun and exciting things. So, you just wait and see!

First Snow

I finally have something good to say!!!

Last friday, it snowed. It was unbelieveable. I was listening to the news and they were talking about how it was snowing and how transportation was affected. I was thinking...

How could it have snowed, it is so warm and toasty in the house?

I peeked out the window and there was a fine layer of powder on the ground. It was so pretty. Here is the proof since by the time I got to work it was gone.

The dogs loved it too. It was their first snow as well.

NYE aka My Birthday

New Years Eve also happens to be my birthday and jsut about every year since I've gotten married, it has absolutely SUCKED! This year was no different.

When I was a kid, my parents always went out of their way to make my birthday special. It was a day all about me and I got my favorite food and my favorite cake every year! My parents would also assemble a birthday table with all my gifts that I would open the morning of my birthday. Then later on we would all sit by the TV and watch the New Year come in and toast with champagne. Even when I was little.

Since I have gotten married, it has been less than stellar. Since my husband typically works on New Year's I usually spend my birthday at someone else's party with someone else's friends. This year is was a wedding. I have to admit that I did consent to this but I thought that the rest of the day before the wedding (the wedding began at 9pm) would be special. Boy, was I wrong. First, my husband slept in and woke up just in time to go buy a suit for him, since he left his suit at home. Then we race to the venue to set up and just as I am getting ready to dress for the wedding, I get sent out by him to go pick up additional equipment. By the time that I get back, and dressed, the wedding is almost over...so I missed that. I make it time for the reception. That irked me. The wedding was very nice and I have no complaints about that but I just felt that he did not put any effort forward for my birthday.

The next day, I figure he will want to watch the game that he has been talking about for the past couple of days. This works well for me because I want to go shopping. He informs me that he wants to go shopping. So, this of course ruins this for me because I know that he really doesn't want to be there but is just doing it for me. I really wished he has just gone and seen the game instead. To make a long story short, when we are leaving, I mention to him that he owes me big time for my birthday. He says, "Oh, I thought we went shopping for your birthday". Mind you I didn't buy anything and he did not give me a gift for Xmas or my birthday. How is going shopping for me a gift when I did not even want him to go in the first place. I felt all rushed and uncomfortable the whole time.

Ugggh. Calgon take me away!

Xmas In New York

Xmas in New York was not what I expected at all. In fact it wasn't that Xmassy at all. First of all, my husband was supposed to come home the day after his birthday which is a week before Xmas. I had planned to have a nice dinner for him and a nice birthday cake. Well, the day before he is supposed to come home, he calls and says he has to reschedule because he totally forgot to ship his DJ equipment to Texas where he was to work a NYE wedding. He now needed to get that squared away and would not be in town until a couple of days before Xmas.

Needless to say this kind of ruined my spirit for both his birthday and Xmas. I told him that I had a nice birthday surprise for him but now he ruined it. I refused to recreate it for him when he finally got into town. My previous plans were to go look for a Xmas tree and decorate it but since he got home so late, I figured why waste the money on a tree for 1 day? So, I made a stink about this too and we did not get a tree.

Then the coup de grace. On Xmas day, he sleeps all day and I slave over the stove making Xmas dinner. He wakes up in time for dinner and says, "You should be grateful to cook dinner for me, that is what being a wife is all about!". I just about threw up at the table. I'm thinking, "Oh, now my only purpose is to cook and do things for you and that I should be grateful about this". Around this time I am also thinking, this is almost the worst Xmas I have ever had. I did not get married to be a slave and work all the time while he sleeps. If that is how he is thinking he ought to get a couple of more jobs. About 3 more so he can do his duty which is work and bring home money for the family. I don't recall there being anything in there about sleeping!

Hmph! Bah Humbug.
