Got Milk?

In sticking with the food theme I thought I would offer this small pieces of advice today. Ask your boyfriend/fiance/first date or whoever what kind of milk they drink. And once you know this piece of information, and it happens to be different than yours, start working immediately to change that. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to have to buy two kinds of milk at all times because your husband drinks whole milk like a toddler, and you refuse to get your full fat content for the day out of a single beverage. Discuss it, bake cookies and slyly serve him your favorite kind of milk every chance you get.  I am happy to say that finally, after almost 2 years of marriage, we have agreed on 2 percent even though I am truly a 1 percent fan and he is truly a whole milk fan. Now he is just waiting til we really do have toddlers so he can steal their milk.

suspicious...very suspicious

Recently...as in yesterday...I was talking to a coworker (aka shipmate) of my husbands who expressed his desire to learn how to cook in order to impress his new (very new) girlfriend. He wanted me to share some of my culinary wisdom with him, as he wishes to keep this girl around for quite some time. So this leads me to the question of the day that all of you should ask before getting married. It is not "Can you cook?" or even "Do you like to cook?" but rather "Once we get married will you still love to cook as much as you claim to now?" True story: David cooked a variety of delicious things before we got married. It was amazing and really fantastic and I was quite impressed. Now, I love cooking so i have no problem doing it, but one night after we had been married for a couple months I was feeling particularly tired so i asked him if he might like to make dinner for the both of us. To this he replied that he could not cook dinner that evening because he did not know how to cook. Really? Because I am entirely positive that before we got married he could cook just fine. Alas, he can no longer do it. How could this happen? Quite suspicious if you ask me. So fair warning you single ladies, men who get married apparently lose brain cells. But there is hope, if your man is like mine, you  may be able to coax him into making a box of Hamburger Helper on very special occasions.

oh no, I shoulda asked

Today i was sitting around as usual, (after the cleaning and laundry had both been done) and I decided my blog is truly boring. I don't even want to read it, and its about my life! Inspired by a comment I left on her blog, a friend (shout out to T in Idaho) suggested I start writing down all the questions I should have asked before I got married. Such as, "Is keeping the lid on the toothpaste important to you?" and while we are on the subject of toothpaste, "Crest or Colgate?" So until I find a job, (which could take awhile since this is America and I don't speak Spanish...yeah I know, makes no sense to me either) I am committed to making my blog a lot more entertaining. Daily. So read, enjoy, and leave comments. I don't I have very many single people reading my blog, so put the word out. I will be including questions that should have been asked before I got married with each blog post. And if you are one of my married readers, enjoy laughing at the things I know you wish you would have asked too. Happy Friday everyone!

Home Sweet Home

I would be lying if I said that the past 7 months were easy or that time just flew by. So not the case. But the pain of the last several months was significantly eased with that first kiss. I am so happy to have my hubby back home. Its true what they say, that you don't realize how much someone really means to you until they are gone. Every minute seems so significant now, and I am very ok with that.  :)

Thank a Veteran and Make a Wish!

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served, and are still serving this great nation of ours! And congrats to my cute hubby for getting his warfare pin (big deal in the Navy). Good job sweetheart!

 And now for my 11/11 wish... I wish it was DECEMBER already!!! Do you think if I say that enough times it will magically happen?

home sweet HOME

I am procrastinating (did I put blogging in my last list??) I have a test tomorrow morning but I dont feel like studying. I have severe senioritis. In fact I am more into the fact that Grey's Anatomy is on in 20 minutes...super excited. But I just thought I would announce real quick that it's official! We will be residents of El Cajon California at the end of December.  I am so excited about our cute two bedroom we got a great deal on! Finally some more space!  I am really ready for my husband to be back and to have an actual home again.  Things aren't quite right without him around. I think we will be in El Cajon for awhile so I am open to (and really pleading for) any decorating tips. :)

sharing my talents

In church we discussed talents and how we should not hide them from the world. So here I am to share one of mine (also I keep being told I need to update my boring blog). So take it from an expert...these are THE BEST ways to procrastinate...

1. Color coordinate your closet.  Take everything out and put it back in rainbow order. Shirts, pants, shoes, dresses...the works. My closet is always in correct color order. (PS...I wish this was my closet)

2. Watch TV...Fall shows have arrived. Might I recommend Modern Family or Private Practice. I get much more done in the summer when there is nothing good on TV.

3. Facebook- I spend waaaayy too much time online. But I mostly use it to talk to my husband who is very far away. sad face.

4. Bake something. Even if you don't intend to eat it...which if you are a professional procrastinator like I am, you cannot eat everything you bake. Give it away. Provide some service in your sin. Pick something that has a complicated recipe just to try it. Then at least your brain gets a little bit of exercise.

5.  While we are discussing putting on some weight lets discuss taking it off. Go to the gym. Make a crazy fun playlist and work out til its over. And if you are really daring, hang out around the big buff guys and watch them laugh at your baby weights. 

6. Make "to-do" lists. For when you are done procrastinating. Or maybe you could make a list of ways to procrastinate. hmmmm....

7. Give yourself a pedicure and/or manicure. Pick a happy color. This will make procrastinating that dreary thing you have to do so much better. 

8. Watch a musical. And sing along.  Sometimes its just fun to let loose and go for it. :) Or go for a drive, turn the radio all the way up, and sing the whole way to nowhere.

9. Write a blog. Share your thoughts about nothing in particular.Or read someone other pointless blog...like mine!

10. Take a long bubble bath. Then try on different combination's of things in your closet, and try a few new styles of hair and makeup. It wastes time now, but it could save time later when you are in a rush to get somewhere and need a glam go-to look.
