Can't Complain

I suppose I can't complain about others who don't blog if I haven't done much of the same in a long while. Life has been busy...work has been busy but everything's been great.

Today is my Boy and I's 5th Month anniversary....I'm not sure if technically you're allowed to call it an anniversary for only 5 months, but Troy is good at remembering these dates. We won't see each other today though to celebrate...tonight I get to go to the Hoogsters for dinner...Mmmmmm...and then to Chelsea's to help her pack & clean. She's moving tomorrow! Troy has his band practice tonight too...so both of us are busy.

I've had a couple realizations lately. The first one, is more of a joke and the second, more serious. I'm addicted to reality tv. From Survivor, Big Brother, American & Canadian Idol...and even Brat Camp...I just can't get enough. I have serious problems. :)

The second is that I think that perhaps I have been left back at age 16 when it comes to my feelings...what I mean is this...back at age 16, my parents split up. Now to spare you all the gory details, my poor little 16 year old heart was broken & I put my tears & my feelings on hold because I didn't want anyone to know how much I hurt...(for whatever reason). Now, I find myself in little conflicts, after 9 years of learning to use my tears and feelings again...and from the smallest of conflicts, to more of a major one I respond the same. I don't know how to properly manage or gage my emotions to specific situations, perhaps much like a 16 year old. I think this is a huge revelation in my life, because I strongly believe that once you understand a problem, you can more accurately fix it. I'm on my way to recovery from a self inflicted wound! :) YEAH!

So a lot of my friends are starting the phase of their lives when they start to have babies. Whooooa! Its kinda crazy, but expected...lots of baby showers upcoming I can tell.

So Troy & I have been looking around for a condo for him to buy. He has to move September 1 because both his room-mates want to find their own places, so that forces my boy to do the same. He's considering buying instead of renting, and the process (for me) is fairly fun. :)

Stampede week! Mini Donuts & corn dogs for me tomorrow! Its the night for us to take in the Stampede and I'm very excited! I hope both of us can stay out until after the fireworks...(I've been so tired on Friday nights that I fall asleep at like 8pm!)

Anyway, if anyone's still reading this...enjoy. Have a good one, and send up a prayer for the Daumler Family in Africa.
