Half It

It has been a while since my first post and I apologize dear reader (no s, singular ha) and I apologize sincerely for this.  Part of this is because I’ve been busy (but who isn’t so that’s not a proper excuse) and part of this is because Jon got some additional news which makes me feel as though my first post was a bit dramatic.  However, in my life, everything is a little bit (or a lot bit) dramatic because it makes things more interesting.  Also, I have a very difficult time living in the unknown.  I would rather get bad news than continue to wonder WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!?  I THINK MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE RUINED BUT I’M NOT SURE AND MIGHT BE TOTALLY FINE BUT I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING AHAHAHAHHHHH.

Oh yes, Jon’s news.  He is now only going to be in London for 3 months.  He was told that there is a slight possibility that he could be staying for 6 but it is highly unlikely.  Are you ready for me to sound like a terrible wife? Are you sure? Positive? Well, here goes. I’m a little disappointed!  Now before you get all judgey face on me, note that there is a good reason or two and yes one of them is that I’m completely insane and a little bit of a masochist.  The real reason is that I struggle consistently with the idea of a traditional life (hence getting married only after a mere 9 years of dating).  I like doing things that other people don’t typically do. I felt like Jon being in Londy for a ½ year would put us, in a way, on an opposite path from that traditional life (can’t have babies if you’re not in the same country… well, I guess I COULD but it would either mean some cray scientific thing or I’m just straight up being a floozy, neither of which I’m not particularly interested in).

This now leads me to the question of the list, which started this whole bloggy in the first place.  What do I do? Do I just say F it? Do I try to cram jam them all into half the time? Do I shave the list a little? Or, and this is what I’m leaning towards, start with just one of those list items and see where it takes me?  Maybe this blog will be about completing just one of these items (but I can’t imagine you would be too excited to read a blog about me taking my dog to daycare once a week, talk about awesome!). 

Speaking of the list, I have realized that I forgot to post it.  Please note that this is in my kitchen on the chalkboard that my wonderful, beautiful, and talented husband painted for me.  Also note that there is already something scratched off of the list.  Despite his best efforts, my wbt hubby’s BFF tried to add something without me noticing. I did however, and refuse to complete it.  He got me a cake pop pan for my birthday and will NOT shut up about me making them … It’s like the bowling ball with Homer’s name on it!! Anyone? Anyone? *sigh*
