What is it with holidays
Jul 5th
Mitchell and I have the type of relationship that people envy. We are that gross couple you see in the store, all holding hand and sneaking kisses… until any holiday rolls around.
For some reason, we suck at holidays. New Years, he was in the shower when the clock struck midnight. He wanted a shower, I had been telling him for over an hour to hurry and get in and out so I’d get my New Year’s kiss. Nope, it was 2:30am before I got my kiss.
Valentine’s Day. I had this huge romantic surprise worked out in my head for him. I’d get off work, come home, clean the house, cook dinner, slip into something a little sexy for him. Yeah, I come home and he’s already home. Sick.
The Fourth, we had friends over for a BBQ then went to watch fireworks. All was great. We come back and get ready for bed. He decides he can’t sleep and he’s going to get up and watch tv for a while. No biggie. That was until I woke up at 11:45 and he wasn’t here. No note. I called his cell phone three times, no answer. I send him a text. Where the hell are you? He calls a few minutes later to tell me he’s out riding around. Seriously, how hard is it to leave a note, “Couldn’t sleep, out riding around”? The last thing that I would think is that he is out cheating. That isn’t the issue at all. I just don’t like to wake up and not know where the hell he is. We have had this exact problem before.
I just don’t understand how we are so perfect all year round, except for holidays.
Checking the weather
Jun 24th
An actual conversation between Mitchell and I today…
Me: Did you hear it thunder this morning?
Mitchell: Yeah, I heard it then got up to check the weather on the internet to see if it was raining.
Me: Why didn’t you just look outside.
Mitchell: Heh, didn’t think about it.
What you can see
Jun 10th
I ended my last blog with the post, What you can’t see. I thought it was appropriate to start this post with what you CAN see.
The first thing you might see is my old posts are gone. You can see old posts by visiting geeksmakemehot.com/wordpress/. There are many reasons why I decided on just starting a new blog. The first is I am a total different person than I was a year ago. A lot has happened in my personal life and professional life.
Mitchell and I have been together going on a year now. Life is better now than ever. I always questioned if there was such a thing as a soul mate. I no longer question this. To meet someone who you can share you life with, your dreams with, your fears with and love them more and more each day is amazing. I am glad I found that one person. We might not share the same tastes in music, movies and camping, but we share the same dreams and goals in life. He makes me truly happy. This happiness is what I had been looking for.
I’ve also disconnected from most of my “Internet” friends I met using WordPress. This has been the sad part of the last year. But, during this time, I’ve been able to reconnect with old friends I have not seen in almost 10 years and make a ton of new friends. I actually have a social life that does not include a keyboard. One thing I do know, I need to find a balance between my Internet friends and real friends.
The newest change in my life is my new job. I am no longer a pill pusher. I am now the Content Developer for a company here in Jonesboro [edit: I removed the name of my employeer because I was already showing up #2 when you googled their name. My clients don't need all up in my business heh]. I would describe the company as a content management system for businesses. It was written by Chris Griffin back in 1996 and continues to grow to keep up with the latest demands of the users. As content developer, I simply add and style the content into the site. I’m given a template to use and go from there. I started a week ago and love it! There are 10 people in the office, I’m one of two girls. Working with nerdy boys is great. The environment is so laid back and simple. I don’t walk into drama.
So I’m starting the new blog for the new life. I’ll get the time to design the site up soon.
