What happened to me?

When I first started this blog I was chatty cathy. I updated like every day it seemed...and now I am lucky if it is once a week. So what happened? Did I all of a sudden become more boring? A little happier maybe that I have nothing to complain about? So weird.

I don't know who, if anyone, reads my blog. And I am ok with that. But if you do, I apologize for not updating more. I live a very boring life....go to work, come home, go to bed, get up & start all over again. *yawn* Trust me...it is dull and nothing to envy. lol. Occasionally, I will go up to the fire station and hang out with the guys up there. I really like doing that. I love my husband and I know he gets sick of me coming up there...I really like going. I have always enjoyed hanging out with guys and being at the station with all guys is very....um...relaxing? I don't know if that is the right word, but they are so care-free. And they love me cause I always bring goodies. I hope they don't get sick of me though. Oh well.

Well, I guess that is all from my boring corner of the world today. Another dull, dull day almost over...just to start it again tomorrow. Fun stuff.

Which path?

I often wonder if the choicese that I have made have been the right ones. I mean, I am happy and the life that I am living now is a good life....but I wonder if I had made different choices how different my life would be? Would karma have led me to the same place that I am now? Would I be married to Jeremy? Would we be living where and how we do now? Who would I be?

Going forward in life, if I am presented with a choice (which is pretty much a daily occurence, right?) how do I know that I am making the right decision? How can I know that I am choosing the right path? There are so many things that I want....that I can't have. For one reason or another there are road blocks. I have such a supportive husband when it comes to things that I want. He doesn't stop me, he doesn't try to convince me otherwise...he just stands next to me and supports me. Maybe it's because he knows that I am stubborn and headstrong and won't change my mind once I have an idea in my head. I can get really obsessive about things. LOL. And he is so wonderful....it amazes me. Some of the conversations we have had...oh dear. The sheer fact that he hasn't packed his stuff and high-tailed it out of town is amazing enough in and of itself. But I love him....and to put up with me and my ideas, he MUST love me.

So how do we know we are choosing the right path? Just close our eyes and jump? Or weigh our options carefully? I have a bad habit of talking & acting before thinking. Quite a downfall most of the time. But other times....I don't know. It is kind of fun. The shock value that it gives some people is priceless.

I hope that I choose the right paths in my life....or least I learn from my mistakes if I choose the wrong ones....

My weekend

Well, I went to 2 happy hours this week. The first was Thursday night for a co-workers birthday....we were there, I had one drink and about halfway through the drink I spilled it all over my pants!! Ugh!! So, I had water the rest of the night. The on Friday it was a co-workers last day, so we all went out after work. I managed to NOT spill my drink this time, but did get pretty drunk. I was home and in bed by 9:30pm. Fun Friday night, no doubt. LOL. Then my brother calls at 11pm wanting to know if he can come visit (he lives 2.5 hrs away...) I couldn't say no, but warned him, since he was bringing his girlfriend whom I had never met, that I was pretty drunk. I get up, get out sheets and stuff and blow up the air mattress for him and go back to bed. They get there and I get up say hello and then good night. Great first impression, huh? lol.

Got up on Sat and went looking for a new truck for Jeremy....to no avail. Found nothing. Oh well. Then we went to get new tattoos. Here they are:

Jeremy's is the Kanji symbol for fire (since he is a fireman) surrounded by water:


and mine is the symbol for cheerful:


And then we went to dinner with my brother & his girlfriend. It has been fun meeting her and hangin' with them. Overall, not to shabby of a weekend.

Here are some more pics for ya:
