It's just the Quirks

Today is Wednesday last Thursday I said I had to do the dishes, I have not. ( still )
But I can explain, I started to, I made massive headway, but this house creeps me out.
Christopher and I live in the mother-in-law part of a house, which believe it or not I did not know until I was settled in 3 or 4 months. I have come to believe that this place is haunted, and Ialso have reason to believe the mother in law that once resided here hates me. Maybe I remind her of her unkempt daughter in law, or maybe Chris has the uncanny resemblance of her son. Either way everytime I start to do the dishes, some kind of noise or some cold air just something irrefutably out of place happens without fail- when i attempt the dishes alone. This would not be an issue if the dishwasher was in place, but that's for another post ( ie below). Chris will say it's just the house settling, or the quirks. But I know better..

One dish at a time

I have to do the dishes today, and we have no dishwasher. It sounds trivial enough but I spend my nights dreaming of the effortless drop of cutesy Dawn action pac. Then I would jump to the dishes you, wouldn't even be able to contain me! When I first moved in to "the dungeon", as my husband so cleverly coined our living quarters, he warned me " oh, and there's no dishwasher".... it didn't phase me then.. no dishwasher, big deal, we'll just wash our dishes, not the most novel idea. I will never agree to this again, it will be deal breaker for the next place we reside.

The dishes mound and yet the idea of washing them is so cringing I would rather wash what I need and keep them mounding. Hence, I am blogging about it.

I thought I would start incorporating pictures in my blog, b/c I only like reading blogs where I can get a visual feeling of that person so.....

Not the most flattering picture, but by far the most blissful! Here's to dreaming of hot summer days and cold vanilla bean.


This picture was taken as Chris and I took on our honeymoon roadtrip- style, last summer. Roadtrip being from Pensacola, FL to Seattle in record 4 days!

I was happy to be out of my packed to the roof yaris.

and we're live!!!!!!!

From a finally clean and dare I say spotless bedroom!

So via face book I promised I would be back after the holidays, and I don't truly consider the holiday slug dead and gone until February 1st. So here I am folks, I'm still rolling in the dirt but, the dirt has now manifested itself into mud.. if you can catch metaphor language, that is. Life has taken twists and turns but I will say the overall quality has upgraded ( do you see the mud now?, or i should just throw in the towel?) anyway my husband is a surprisingly huge advocate of this life called blogging and he is oh so full of friendly advice and details, details, details!

Take the example below for instance....

Chris

Mind you he is only in the next room.... Gotta love him!

anyway an update:

I started interning for a non-profit about a month ago for a very, very cool cause. Children and their child care, did you know a significant amount of kindergartners are ill- equipped to start school, due to their previous child care experiences?? I never knew, but it explains oh so much! I spent most of my early childhood next to grandma watching "Days of our lives" and the Price is Right. Fastforward 14 years... to my senior year of High School and you will see that I am voted "Most likely to appear on Days of our lives". It makes me wonder had I spent my days watching the stock market how different life would be, if at all.
