I decided to go through and update this post that I made in early 2019, just to see what I did and didn’t accomplish. It ain’t pretty folks. My updated responses are in this purple font as a sub-bullet point. Some of my friends at work were talking about this ’19 in 2019′ thing, and since i’m a snoop, I barged in asking questions. Basically, it’s a list of goals and things you want to accomplish in 2019. Some of mine are measurable, others are not. Do what works for you, I always say. Study french once a week Did not do this Read 20 books I didn’t keep track,…

My Why.
First off, we have a Beachbody on Demand membership and it’s amazing. ‘Nuff said. And if anyone is interested, let me know and I will put you in touch with the best ‘coach’ in the world, Hannah McLeod. In all honesty, I’ve never met her in person. I started following Hannah on Instagram and realized how utterly awesome she was. I now consider her to be a great friend and hopefully I will meet her in real life someday. Now, the point of this… I have officially started the Morning Meltdown 100 program over for the 3rd time..and the final time, at least until I finish it. Third time…

New Pillows!!
Pillows. In the living room. Aka…for the couch and chairs. This has been an ongoing argument since June when we bought our new couches. These are 100% the ugliest pillows I’ve ever seen (or owned) in my entire life! If you like them, congrats! I still have the covers and would love the send them to you! In reality, the leathery brown side (which is exactly like the couch, which makes sense because they came together) is super comfy and nice to nap on, but the other side…*shudder*. Our house has a lot of brown, so I really wanted to pull some color up from the rug. Because these do.…

I Feel Pretty.
At some point over the summer I went to see Amy Schumer’s movie I Feel Pretty with a friend. Mind you, Justin and I had this conversation about it…

3 Years.
It has officially been three years with this guy. Some days it’s easy. Some days it’s hard. Some days I really wish I could chop off certain body parts. I don’t share much about our relationship on social media. I don’t really want us to be one of those couples that only shares the good things, but I also don’t want us to be one of those couples that airs our dirty laundry online. I feel like some things should stay a little bit private. All I can say is that we fight and argue, and then we love, laugh and play, and I cry and we sleep and work…

A Geek’s Wife.
I am a geek’s wife. He is actually kind of a geek-jock, if that’s a thing? My husband plays many video games such as WoW, Overwatch, Destiny, Final Fantasy, Diablo, etc. along with many sports. He is proficient at softball/baseball, volleyball, golf, tennis, kickball, dodgeball and probably more. He loves Game of Thrones (as do I), Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter… you get the picture. I knew this about him from the moment we met. I love the geeky side of him. The side that freaked out when WoW had the new release of…some thing. An expansion I guess? I had started playing Diablo after we met…

Darts.
Justin has really gotten into darts lately. A co-worker invited him to play in a dart tournament a few weekends ago, and kind of surprisingly, they won! Which means Justin bought some darts. They arrived today from…. JAPAN! How cool is that!!?

My Marriage Doesn’t Have a Hashtag.
I have an addiction to my cell phone. I am the first to admit it. Sometimes it’s hard to just set it aside and not think about it. I don’t post on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter very often though. Mostly, I use it because I feel bored. So I see what other people are up to, or read incredibly stupid articles about incredibly stupid topics. One thing I see many posts of are couples doing things together. That is one thing I’m not great at doing, for many reasons. When Justin and I actually do things together, I like to be in the moment. I try to keep my phone…

2 Years.
Monday marks our two year wedding anniversary. I have learned so very much over the past couple years. Marriage isn’t easy. Period. End of story. It isn’t easy, but it is absolutely worth it. I do miss the relaxed days of being single, but I wouldn’t give this up for anything. I never went through to painful dating phase. But I do miss the days of eating popcorn for dinner, making plans without checking with someone else first, things like that. I have never felt more comfortable in my own life before. I am completely and 100% myself. It feels so amazing to just let me freak flag fly. We…

No Man Is A Romance Novel.
My new brilliant thought. No man is a romance novel. I used to read a romance novel almost every night. I would dream of the day I met my future husband. He would bring me flowers all the time. He would cook romantic candlelit dinners. Give me back and foot rubs whenever I had a hard day at work. He would hold my face and give me that great Rom-Com movie kiss. Wow. Wow oh wow oh wow. I was a silly goose. I can no longer read those books. I have discovered the actual meaning of romance. It isn’t useless flowers that die after a couple days, or candlelit…
