Notes to my future husband

this is my new favorite blog!! I'm addicted!!! -- http://tomyhusband.tumblr.com

"Strippers. Going to a strip club is not an affair. You do not have to call me to check in. Have fun at your weird cousin’s bachelor party. Truly. "

"Hot Water, It’s a precious resource. We can have shower sex, but you gotta let me finish washing my hair. "

"Shoes. Think of them as the female equivalent to a blow job. Really good ones can make everything better and I’ll always want more. "

"Throwing Up. You don’t have to hold my hair back or anything. Make yourself useful and get me a mint and a fresh drink. "

"Don’t ever stopcalling me “the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen”. It may or may not be true, but even when we’re old and our private parts aren’t working anymore, I’ll never get tired of hearing that I turn your viagra on and that I’m your only gal.It’s one of the many reasons why I married you."

Clayton came to Phoenix!!!

He was here from Tuesday night till Friday late afternoon.
When he arrived he was all nervous and antsy. heheh that's usually how I feel when he picks me up from the airport, but this time it was him and not me. We went home, drank margs and watched a movie... sort of.

Wednesday I had to work part of the day, then we went to the Monte Lucia pool. We had fun laying out and playing in the water. He really wanted to go shopping, so he said we should go home and change. I always take a while to get ready (i gotz lotz a hair!) he was getting kinda pushy for me to hurry. annoyed, I hurried up. We went to the Michael Kors store where he surprised me with and early birthday present, a watch he picked out and had bought for me. I was sooo surprised! He was grinning so big, his face was priceless and I'm sure my bright red embarrassed face was too! The girls who worked there poured us some champagne and told me happy birthday and congrats and continued to oogle over how cute and in love we are. haha. I felt like I had been purposed to. Couldn't stop smiling and grinning ear to ear, going back and forth from looking down at my gorgeous rose gold watch and kissing him. We continued the day by having dinner at Kazmirez (Claytons friend Max took me there when I first moved to Phoenix).

Thursday we checked into the Ritz and had a pool day and were showered with drink and fruit platters from the staff. Ritz Carlton treats there employees very special. I don't think I have ever been so pampered. We met up with my girlfriend Megan at Postinos for dinner. Megan later told me how much she loves him! First she started out by telling me how much of a gentleman he was, and how perfect and fun we are together. She said, "he is just your style". So true. He is perfectly my style.

Friday morning Clayton's flight was cancelled so we had a lazy day together. All in all it was perfect. He is so fun and easy going, and hot. oh and sexy :)

Home

I guess my trip to reno was harder than I thought it would be. I love reno. Doesn't mean I want to live there... but I have the fondest memories of my life in Reno. Reno has helped shape who I am. Not just Reno the place, but the people and the culture of Reno.

I got to see many of my college fraternity brothers and best friends. It was harder than I thought it would be to leave them all over again. Not only that, but I miss my two best friends (my sisters), I miss watching my brothers grow up and catching up with my mom and dad over lunch.

To add to that, I got to spend time with Clayton. It was bitter sweet. Sweet in the fact that he was with me to party with my friends, I got to meet some of his family and he got to meet mine. But bitter because I feel that with so many people around we didnt get all that much quality one on one time, but we always had going to bed and waking up together.

He was a great sport when it came to hanging out with my friends, he fit right in. I loved it. He also did a great job of hanging out with my family.But, what made me fall even more in love with him was getting to hang out with him and his younger brother. They literally are two peas in a pod.

It was an action packed weekend, I feel that I let down a few people because I was being pulled in many directions. Everything ended up working out just fine in the end. When I got to the airport on Sunday I actually started to tear. I would like to blame it on the lack of sleep.

I am grateful for all the people in my life. I am a better person because of them.

most akward break room converstation ever.

me: (washing my Tupperware)

stan (creepy 50 year old): oh i should have brought my dishes for you to wash

me: akward laugh...

stan: or how bout this, I'll wash, you dry.... that's how couples do it, right?
me: uncomfortable laugh...

stan: oh, you're a cutter? (said with an oddly intrigued tone while looking at my white heart tattoo on my wrist)

me: oh no! Its a white heart tattoo. I usually wear a watch to cover it at work.

stan: oh, does 'he' have a matching one?

me: ... uh? no I actually got it with my girlfriend before I moved to arizona.

stan: oh i get it, so its like a matching tattoo with your 'girlfriend' (emphasis on girlfriend)

me: well she's just like my best friend that is a girl, not my girlfriend...

stan: you know, whatever makes you happy!! Everyone likes different things

me: oh no, I'm not into that sort of thing, she is totally just my friend.

stan: totally not believing my claim of my not having a heart tattoo with my lesbian lover, continues to tell me a story of a girl he met at a bar and she asked him to go with her to get a tattoo with her on her belly. Apparently he opted not to get a belly tattoo because they seem so hard to keep clean. Oh, but helped random girl he just met at the bar clean and treat her tattoo.

me: confused how his story is a) work appropriate b) relevant and/or c) if it is even true... as i speed walk out of the break room back to my cubicle thinking, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?

Maybe I should learn to cook?

Since I've lived in my own apartment, the only things I have made are: eggs, oatmeal, fried chicken, and frozen premade dishes.

New goal: learn to make something new once a week.

Fall 2010

I miss last fall. My last semester of college. I dropped my serving shifts on a weekly basis. Took 4 classes that I payed little to no attention to. living off my last student loan. Living in a 4 bedroom house with 5 girls and 2 dogs.

And the best part was that Breanne, Jenna, Aj and I were all emotionally unstable, drunk and pretty much hilarious. (and skinny)

Yes, this conversation happens between me and my friends. always.

The Texts
B: “Hey are you ready to get dinner?”
Him: “Nah, I can’t anymore. I’ve gotta study.”


The Analysis between you and your friend:
K: What. The. F***.
B: I know, right?! Why didn’t he just write, “I hate you, you’re stupid”? It’s the same thing.
K: How did he spell "no"? Was it normal or are you just saying it weird?
B: N-a-h.
K: SHUT THE EFF UP.
B: I’m serious!!! That’s what he wrote!
K: Gross. That is so gross. See? He is SO self-centered that he can’t be bothered to have his mouth close around words properly! Like, I can sort of see his tongue hanging out at the end of that.
B: Exactly. He’s sticking his tongue out at me.
K: I’m sorry. He just isn’t good enough for you. He is the worst.
B: Well, hopefully he’s dead by tomorrow.

Never let somebody love you more than you love yourself.

I think I should buy this for myself, to show me how much I love me.

I bought a tool kit, and it's pink!

I went to Target to buy a cheap-o drill to hang things in my apartment, so i dont feel like im living in an empty jail cell.

The ugly orange drill was $25... just then I saw the PINK tool kit! It had a pink hammer, pink measuring tape, pink drill, pink level, etc.

I feel very independant and girly and my studio finally has wall decorations :)

I shouldn't try to plan so much.

I'm all about adventures

Ask lots of questions. – The greatest ‘adventure’ is the ability to inquire, to ask questions. Sometimes in the process of inquiry, the search is more significant than the answers. Answers come from other people, from the universe of knowledge and history, and from the intuition and deep wisdom inside yourself. These answers will never surface if you never ask the right questions. Thus, the simple act of asking the right questions is the answer.
