Boring…
Bored today. Not gonna lie. Chuck and I are both feeling a little bit of cabin fever. I just got done picking up branches out of the yard from the ice storm a few weeks back. Chuck is watching some Walking Tall movie. I tried to give it a chance, but my ADD got the best of me. I work tomorrow so this weekend is shot already.
Highlights around here lately? Hmm. Last weekend we went into CR for Chuck’s Mom’s birthday. His Mom is always messed up on pain killers so we really weren’t looking forward to it, but it turned out to be a pretty fun day… We found out our friend Gina is pregnant, and Kelsey just had a baby, so everyone started giving everyone else a hard time after that about who the next to get pregnant would be. Chuck and I are hoping to wait a year and catch up on some bills first. But we also have to keep in mind, I’m 26 and he is 35. We don’t have forever… Chuck has been busy putting together pics for a slide show DVD of our first year together. I can’t wait to see it!! I love being with someone who is as creative as I am…I went through the McDonald’s drive through on my way to work one moring. When I got to the window to pay the lady said, “The car in front of you just paid for yours, you can drive on to the next window.” I was so shocked and touched that a random stranger would do something like that. I took the act of kindness to be a ‘pay it forward’ type situation, so I turned around and made a donation to the Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. This world is in desperate need of kindness. I often wish there were more I could do… And then I think of Karma…. And then I think of Chuck’s ex-wife. To recap, we got to move into this farmhouse because she met a man in Tama and ran off and got married. (Her 6th marriage.) We got a voicemail from her about a week ago, and her marriage ended after only a month. She is back in Wellman working her old job and living in a crappy apartment. Chuck was laughing so hard. A part of me wanted to feel bad for her, and then I realized, it’s karma. You can only treat people a certian way for so long before it catches up to you.
I guess that’s about it for now. Really not much to blog about. I think I will post a bunch of pics with this blog. Then I think I will go through my t-shirts and find old ones to give to the T-shirt drive they are doing at work for people in Haiti. Chuck told me to enjoy my day off and relax, and he will do dishes when I’m at work tomorrow. Yay, cool!!
This was a hillarious pic! (You had to be there.)
