The New Normal

Wake up, work, walk the dog or gym, dinner followed by reading or TV. Theboyfriend and I are still waiting to hear back on our short sale in the intern we've become huge savers and boring. To his credit he's been busy completing and important construction job. I have no excuse I think I've just gotten boring. I'd like to blame it on my job that doesn't challenge me. Its not like I've been super busy keeping the house clean or cooking gourmet meals. In reality I'm a little Martha but I think I do it half ass.

I think I realize this more when we sent out wedding invitations. I use to think of myself as a relationship person. I'm fairly good at emails and can blab on the phone forever. Some friends you think you'll keep forever but in reality when it came down to sending an old high school friend or a ski buddy an inivitiation and I hadn't talked to that person in the last year it didn't feel right. I also feel a bit guilty at first I was excited about throwing a party where all the folks I know got to mingle. Now I sort of think pulling off a good mingle is hard work and the worst part is that there are people coming that I haven't had a good giggle with in a long time and whom deserve more than 5 minutes of my attention after traveling halfway across the country or the world.

Mymom said that theboyfriend will become the most important person in my life. I'm not sure if I agree with her, or agree in the same way. As my parents do everything together. I'm ready to do things on my own. I miss my girlfriends and being girly consignment shopping or trying out make up or traveling the world. I don't do those things anymore. Instead I watch movies like Crank 2 High Voltage that I think are the stupidest thing in the world.

Theboyfriend and I were invited on Friday night to a new Asian Fusion place in the SLC. The food was alright, but the company was really cool. What bothered me though, we were all couples and all defined as a unit. Is that the new normal, cuz I dont' know if I like it? Do couples hang out with other couples and singles in their 30's are always on the prowl? If so 13 yrd old me would be disappointed with what grown up life is like.

misc

1. Wedding invites are addressed and stamped waiting till Thanksgiving to throw them in the mail.

3. Wedding dress is here, waiting for the seamstress to call me back.

4. First dance song, looking for suggestions. Preferabley not Norah Jones as Theboyfriends balls won't allow us to play her music at the house.
