So here we are....

a month to go till the wedding, no invites, our guestlist still isn't finalized, I don't even have a dress (!!!!) and I'm beginning to wonder if this is going to happen at all. I went over to my mom's earlier this week and we had a crafty day. I made this ginormous tag of all the things that make me ME.... family, music, drama, my kitty and a "happy card." Chris looked at it and said, "My name's not on here as number one??!?" What an eye opener for me... not only was he not number one, he didn't factor into my "me" tag at ALL!

So, I took Joseph out for his birthday about a week ago.. we went to Red Robin per his request and then back to the house to hang. Other than that, not much new... Chris and I are falling into a routine here... I cook, clean up, do the dishes... he does the kitty litter, garbage and organizing. I'm a horrible organizer, so it works. On the days that he's off and I'm working, he'll make me dinner or powerclean the house.

I've got this snippet of a memory running through my head right now; well, actually I've got two of them. One of them is walking through the mall at probably 4 or 5 years old holding my dad's hand and him sinnging "my girl" to me. The other is just my mom's voice singing "you are my sunshine" Not quite sure what to make of the fact that they're both running through my head on a loop right now. anyone have any ideas?

lately

Things have been a little hectic for me lately... between the races at work, JP and Jen moving out and just various other stuff. So, last week I think I got my 4 big glasses of water twice... which is better than I was before. I've stepped up to a 32 oz glass, so all it takes is 2 now. This week, I've already gotten it twice, and going for my third on Sunday. Jon from work's birthday is today, Joseph's birthday is tomorrow, Denise's birthday is Sunday, and John from work (yes, there are two of them, but they spell their names differently) has a birthday on the 17th. What is it with the July birthdays????

We're now down to 2 cats, my Axl and a black kitten that we're getting rid of shortly. The others have all either been given away or moved out with JP and Jen. We walked in from vacation as they were walking OUT... that was kinda strange. So, lately Chris and I have been kinda taking turns making dinner. He does most of the nasty jobs, i.e kitty litter, big bags of garbage; while I do most of the dishes and general upkeep. I don't mind it though, because it's not so overwhelming now. I'm not EXPECTED to do everything anymore, nor am I ASKED to do everything. That's about all I've got time for tonight.. look for another update this coming week.
