Weekend of Nothing

Today is such a beautiful day and what am I doing but sitting inside and watching football and working on wedding stuff. You would think we would be out on the boat enjoying the end of the summer weather but no we are inside.

Why do we say that we are going to do one thing and then spend the day doing other things? We said if it was nice we would go boating. We said we would take my ring to get cleaned. We said we would go grocery shopping. We said (okay Brett said) we would go looking for a motorcycle for my birthday. Have we done any of that today....NO!!

I am sure we are going to do these things eventually this weekend but we never seem to do them when I want to do them. It is always on someone else's terms. I don't think that is very fair. I guess I have to get better at voicing what I want to do and when I would like to do it. I think we need to get better at compromising.

Bathroom Facts

I have had enough of the depressing talk on this thing. Today for anyone's reading pleasure (not that anyone is reading this thing):

  • According to a survey by the National Association for Continence (NAFC), 30% of Americans avoid public restrooms, citing "fear of germs" as the primary reason.
  • Then, when the deed is done, 40% say they flush the toliet by kicking the handle with their fee, rather than touching it with their bare hand. Another 20% reach for paper to "protect" themselves before touching the handle.
  • What about when you are at home - are you bashful? 70% of Americans say they always close the bathroom door even if they live alone or are the only ones at home.

My theory (and all my friends know it) when I got to go I got to go. I don't care about the germs or who is around!!!!

Good Times Are Here Again.....

Well things seem to be going great in my world once again. All the problems of last week have been revealed. They have not necessarily be resolved but they are out in the open. One of the things that was revealed is that I need to go back into therapy. No this is not bad - it is something I have been putting off for quite a while. I didn't want to admit that I needed to go back but everything that happened between Brett and I seemed to make it evident that I do need to talk to someone.

With that said, Brett and I have worked out some of the issues and there are still some things that have to be addressed. I guess it is the nature of a permanent relationship. You have things that come up and things that you need to work out. It is great to know that he will stand by me while I work through my issues from the past.
