Oh, Moving

So a few months ago Hot Husband and I decided we are going to move. Great. Wonderful. Exciting. The problem? I don't think Hot Husband realizes that in order for us to move, he actually needs to get a new job. It has been almost 4 months since we made this decision and he is still working on his resume. To be fair, we decided that he will wait til after the new year to look for a job, and then I hit my head and then he got sick. But still! Come on! What is taking so long? I really don't want to be the nagging wife, but I think the times are calling for it. I am going to Austin this weekend and have decided that if his resume isn't finished by the time I get home on Tuesday evening, I will most definitely flip my lid. Hot Husband beware.

5 Little Monsters

This past weekend my younger sister and I threw a baby shower for our older sister. It was held at my house and for the first time ever, I had a house full of kids. 5 little monsters to be exact. At first it was a little overwhelming but then I sent them all to the basement with Hot Husband and another male friend to play with the guitars and drums we have stashed there. It was awesome! I had a house full of people and I didn't have to worry about the kids! Hot Husband (who has actually claimed to be allergic to children) spent the whole day entertaining them. It was great for me because I had time to refill wine glasses and clean up plates and actually talk to people, and Hot Husband was able to realize that not all kids are spawned from Satan.

Debbie Downer Has Left the Building

For the sake of myself and everyone who has to deal with me, I have decided to kick Debbie Downer out of my house. It's ridiculous. I'm way too fabulous of a person to be down for so long. This is me bouncing back and roundhouse kicking the winter blues in the face.

So after nearly six months of marriage, I finally put my wedding photos on my computer. And since so many people are posting random photos these days, I have decided to share some of my favorite pics with all of you.

For some reason, this is one of my favorite. Don't ask me why, becuase I have been asking that of myself and can't come up with a good answer.

Due to Hot Husband's obsession with all things ninja, one of our friends made a katana for him as a wedding gift. This may look like just a fun photo op, but I actually do this to him all the time. Someone has to keep him in line!

Just another one I like.

So that's it for now. Looking at the pictures and remembering the awesome 80 degree day in August is putting a huge smile on my face and making me all warm! I also brought out my flip flops and pretending I'm at the beach while I make cupcakes in my kitchen. Whatever works, right?

Wintertime Blues

I have not been myself lately. Usually I am happy and outgoing. No one has heard my obnoxiously loud laugh in a really long time. I miss being me. I want and need to get me back. The problem? I'm solar powered and the sun doesn't shine in January in Illinois. This makes me very sad.

And it just started to snow...

Hot Husband is in Mourning

Hot Husband is mourning the loss of an 8ft icicle that was hanging off our house. He has been watching it grow for the past week and has been ridiculously excited about it. Every morning before we went to work and every evening after we got home, he would check the icicle status. This morning he was super pumped to find that it was over 8ft long and planned on taking some pictures of it this evening. Much to his dismay, we came home to a house that was lacking the huge icicle. Its remnants were scattered in the driveway. He claims the loss of the icicle is the saddest story ever. I'm trying to be there for him and comfort him in his time of great loss.

The Bachman is in total denial about the icicle and is still super pumped.

It's Over!!!!

Today was a fansmashingtastic day! The reigh of Bush is over! I am so excited about the Obama presidency. I was watching the inauguration while I was at work surrounded by men and I couldn't help but burst into tears. I woke up with goosebumps and am sure they will come back when I watch the inauguration for a second time with Hot Husband in just a few minutes. I love being able to watch history being made. And I can't wait for textbooks to start declaring Bush as the worst president in history.

Blah, Blah, Blah

I'm back to work today and it's a very sad story. I spent my weekend getting the house ready for the open house and the private showing we had on Sunday and nobody came. I wasn't expecting anyone for the open house because it's freezing outside and people would have to be crazy to voluntarily leave their homes, but I was expecting the person who actually called to make an appointment to show up! I was a little peeved that we had to leave the house for two hours for no reason at all. So inconsiderate...

Now my plan is to try to get things to resemble some stage of normalcy around my house. From having a concussion, to Hot Husband getting sick, to running around like a crazy woman getting the house ready, to Hot Husband getting even sicker, and me waking up this morning with a runny nose and sore throat, I feel like these 19 days of 2009 have been one mess after another. It really has to stop.
