Life stuff

1. A truck blaring literally the worst music I have ever been unprivileged to hear just pulled into our parking lot.  I can't even define it enough to find an example of it on youtube, but just try to imagine a garden hoe vomiting on a chalkboard.

2. My handsome husband started a new job! I stalked the company's website today, and I have to say that I am pretty impressed. They've been in business longer than my grandparents have been alive, and it is international. I haven't checked my facts, but I'm about 99.2% certain that we can't say that about his previous company.  The best part: as long as he gets off on time he will be home wayyyy before me, so guess who gets to make dinner? Score 1 for The Wife.

3. He has to be at work at 7 every day, which means he has to leave absurdly early, which means his morning routine begins obscenely early every day. I would swear I've married an old man.  He loves to wake up early and watch the news and just give himself time to "wake up and be ready for the day!".  He'll make a perfect annoying daddy one day, I can feel it.  I'll fight on the side of my kids when it comes to Saturday "fun days" doing yard work.  Opposites attract, I guess because it's one of those cute things I really like about him.

4. Our new bishop wants to meet with us tonight. You know, the bishop of our family ward. I haven't been to a new ward since I joined singles, because even when I went back to the family ward I kind of knew the bishop already, so it wasn't a big deal. This seems seriously grown-up. Either we're in trouble, he is going to tell us to have children (Darren's speculation), or he just wants to say hi and give us callings. I'm going with the first option, because Darren totally skipped our first Sunday in the ward in favor of drill, and I'm sure Bishop is furious about that. What kind of man have I married...sigh.

5. I really want a puppy.

6. The Upstairs Neighbors are so noisy.

7. Our newest massage therapist was supposed to give me a massage today in exchange for the bowl of chili I brought her yesterday, but put me on the back burner when somebody requested her services in exchange for money.  I can't say I blame her at all, but my back is so sad. I was really looking forward to it. She promises to still get me sometime soon though, so it's all good.

8. We ate a french toast casserole last night, and despite various needed improvements in my technique (like, following the directions and letting it sit in the fridge for 4 hours as instructed), it was rather tasty.  Next time I make it, it will be perfect.

9. Breakfast food means my favorite meat: BACON! Yummmm.

10. I'm going to cash a hundred billion dollars in for laundry quarters when I leave work so that we never have to do a late night beggar run to Walgreens again. I hate crossing big streets on foot.
