I'm alive!

Hi. I'm still here. Yippee for you right? Seriously though I have been busy. But I don't know what I've been doing. Hmm. The life of a housewife (stop giggling). So there are two things on my mind... drum roll please....

1) Hubby turns 30 tomorrow err.... right now. I know- he's ancient. He hasn't so much as glanced this thing yet (remember, 'you should write a blog, it would be hilarious!'?) anyway, he's not seeing it so I can tell my two readers that my husband is old. Like dirt. I don't really care, I'm so looking forward to the big 3-0! I have always felt that your 30's 40's and 50's are when you really live life. Your career (hehe) takes off, your family life really begins, and you realize that you're the only one who doesn't like your hair- or even notices your hair really. You're you so just live with it. B on the other hand is all "why do you insist on saying that number?!" Because that's all it is, a number! I make the dirt joke for one reason- when I met B he was 21. That math makes me feel old as dirt! Last week he said "How did we know all those years ago that we'd still like being together? We're still best friends, we still have fun. How did we know?" B is not a sensitive guy, that was a big statement for him but he's right we're still having fun. Its just that now sometimes that fun involves me laughing at him for asking for the fourth day in a row, "Am I losing my hair?" :-)

2) This isn't even a 'sidebar' conversation so bare with me... I hate my living room. As in it makes my skin crawl. Which is unfortunate since it's kind of my office these days. I keep telling B it would be different if he would let me buy new furniture, then I get the side eye and keep online shopping in silence and disgust. The truth is we're able to live comfortably on one income but in this house 'comfortable' doesn't involve $7000 French sofas.... what's that saying about champagne taste and beer budget... yeah you guessed it I'm beer... I'm freakin Natty Light with a horrendous living room. I am also not a moron. (Stop acting so surprised you guys.) I don't believe in financing that crap, especially with two kids and a perfectly good working if not good looking couch.
