Blogging world - the hypocrit

I am a blogging hypocrit. I think I have encouraged about 10 people to start a blog and had them thoroughly convinced that they NEED to... how often do I write on mine again? Like 2 times a month? Ok so, I have excuses for this.

1.) I am busy moving into my house (duh, you've already heard that)
2.) I am too lazy  busy to switch the batteries in my camera to upload the pics I have taken (and need to show the world)
3.) I seriously can't think of anything in the world worth talking about!! Everyone else is so good and I am jealous... :(
4.) I would rather spend my time reading others, or changing my layout, or surfing the web... lame I know but at night after a day of work and a night of house stuff, that is about all I am up to. Therefore, the laundry sits unfolded and the food sits in the fridge rotting.

Ok, I feel like I need to explain myself with this one. We have the worst time eating the food that we buy! And by we I mean me because I seriously have great intentions to eat healthy but when it comes down to it, I end up throwing about half of it away because it has gone bad. And my attempts are decent!! The problem is that we are NEVER home to eat it, and when we are, we also have left overs to eat or we just can't keep up. So then I buy less food, and we run out immediately resulting in me just buying more the next day=too much grocery shopping for this girl.

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I am so sick of throwing stuff away, and with only two of us (one that will not eat healthy food unless absolutely starving or it is already prepared in front of him) it is so easy for it to just sit there... and rot away my hard earned money. Did I say hard earned? It is hard for me to sit at an office for 8 hrs, so yes, hard earned. Can we have some customer's soon?

On a happier note, I am so excited to move into this house of ours. His parents are helping with the flooring while I attempt to pack (overwhelming, if you have tips please share). Hopefully we will be moving in within a couple of weeks. My biggest obstacle is that we aren't going to be using the bottom level until later since it isn't finished. This means that I have to cram all of it upstairs in an organized fashion so that we can still find what we need and make that floor feel like home. I don't know what I am doing, other than walking around in circles at the apartment. Seriously, that is all I do. Don't tell Mike... I feel like a failure. When I see everything that needs to be packed up... I panic. I am the worst "get overwhelmed and quit" girl out there, I am pretty sure. I think therapy might help? No, it's not that bad but seriously... motivation would help.

I sound so negative...ignore that and insert a big smiley face - even if it's cold out it's not winter!! I like winter, but I'm ready for spring. and then summer!

CONGRATS TO MY SISTER FOR GETTING THE INTERNSHIP IN CALIFORNIA!!! Now how can I afford to go VISIT my baby sister??? Will have to think of something....maybe selling my body to research? Who knows.

no telefano!

I have a confession to make. I really dislike talking on the phone. It seems heartless and I know it appears selfish, but I hate doing it! When Mike and I were doing the long distance thing, we talked on the phone every night. The whole time we would be on the phone, I would be doing homework, watching tv, or clicking around on the internet. I was still listening...most of the time... but I cannot just sit there and not do something else! What am I supposed to do, sit on the phone and stare at a blank wall?

There are a few exceptions to this of course:

1. My dear friend Jerri - because she lives in Michigan and it is the only Jerri time I get.
2. My mom - because it is usually only when I need need NEED to talk to her about something
3. (my most embarressing) when I am driving

I realize that point number three makes me somewhat of a hypocrit because lets be honest. It sucks being on the other end when someone is driving and calls YOU to talk. Usually you are busy doing something and they are like, "so...what's new?" I catch myself calling #1, #2, and of course, the hubby. He does not like it, and I cannot blame him. The response I usually get is, "if you are just talking while you are driving, can I hang up and talk when you get home?"

But I will make an exception every once and a while. And that is it... don't abuse my kindness! I will email, facebook, text...whatever you want! I just hate talking on the phone. Oh, and lets not forget that I will (of course!) meet face to face which is the best and should be most common solution.

Sorry if this offends anyone that has recently called me... I don't hate you, just the phones in between us.
The end.
