Sun!!!

So I actually had today off and it's so nice. I sat outside for a few hours. I wrote thank you notes. Ugh!! I hate them. I got a little toasty. Nothing too bad. It won't even be noticeable tomorrow I'm sure. It is cool I even have shorts on. Now I'm watching baseball. Shocker! I took Derby outside with me. He was ok in the back yard. Then I had to move to the front yard because we have wasps. I had the front door open, but the screen shut. He escaped at one point. He started going over to the neighbors and I had to chase him around. I finally picked him up and he hissed and growled at me. Clearly he's out of his element in the front yard. I can't believe this weather at all. I wish I wasn't such a girly girl. I'd mow the lawn or something. Lucky for Shawn that stuff grosses me out. I hate getting dirty. I don't even like to pick weeds. I know, I know. It's stupid.

Baseball

I'm here watching the Mariner's and realized how much I love this game. I think I should have a class to teach people (girls especially) more about sports. I know more about baseball and football. I'm not saying that all girls don't anything about sports, but there are the ones that have to watch it with their boyfriends or husbands. I'd be somewhat helpful. Baseball is much more complicated because it's "a thinking man's game." I just love sports. I love talking to my boys at work about it. I watch it more than Shawn. It's funny how the teams I like seem to be some of the worst teams. I don't know why but I like the 49ers, Mariners, the Red Sox (course they just won the world series, but that was after a 80 something year curse) and I watch whatever team Joey Harrington on. The team I hate more than anyone because I am a true Sox fan is The Yanks. Fucking Derek Jeter. And A-Rod. And now Johnny Damon, traitor. Fucking Damon.

It's finally friday

So I finally have a day off. Shawn and I have it off together. It's our 2nd day off together this week. It's so nice. We're watching Fun with Dick and Jane. It's pretty funny. I want to get some things done around the house tomorrow. I also want to sleep in. I just want to not think about work right now. I need to make more money so bad. I hate being poor. I guess it's good though, cause we do own our own home. I am so glad to be married. Shawn would never be able to rob anyone. This movie is getting a little better. I'd rather be watching baseball, or something. Shawn's really enjoying himself. I hate Jim Carrey movies sometimes. He gets way to out of control. I enjoyed him in Ace Ventura, but it's gone downhill from there.

Sicky

I've been really sick the past couple of days. I had the flu. The first day I was so achy. My legs hurt so bad that I doubled over a couple of times. I couldn't sleep at all that night because of the pain. The next day I stayed home from work. I slept for hours. I didn't have much appetite and very little energy. I had to work yesterday at 8am. I got up at 4am and moved to the couch. Shawn was snoring so loud I couldn't back to sleep. Derby was also a factor. He loves sleeping between us and taking over the bed. I work up at 6:45am and got sick. I won't go into detail because everyone knows what happens when you have the flu. Anyway- I went to work and leaned against the counter as much as possible. I moved so slow. I felt like I was 80 years old. I came home at noon. Stopped by Albertson's and they need way more cashiers at lunchtime. I waited in line for 10+ mins. I slept again when I got home. I feel much better today. I have tons to do. I have to start on thank you cards. Those are not any fun at all. I wish I could just email them or something. I'm glad that I have decent hand writing, but wish it was more uniform. Why do I overanalize everything? I guess it's just the Scorpio/perfectionist in me. I'm going go start on my errands. I'll post again soon. I know Shawn's loving this. ;-)

A new life

Ok so we are married and living life as a married couple. Everyone keeps asking "How's married life?" I don't know how to respond, because we've been living together for almost 3 years. It's not that different. There are just a few things: I can introduce Shawn as my husband, we get a discount on car and homeowners insurance, and my name is Monica Prime. It's weird to go back to normal, everyday life. I'm still trying to train myself on my last name and how to sign it. We have so much to do here, but I don't know where to start. It's also really weird to be done with the planning. I worked on it for over 1 year and 1/2. I'm kinda sad to be done with it. I had so much fun planning my one I would love to do others. I guess I'm just rambling sooo...
