random.

This post is RANDOM for a few reasons...everything I post in it is going to be a hodge podge of things I have not gotten to blog about that happened in the last week AND my life is getting pretty random.

I started work last week and tonight will be my third night working.  I am working at a little chocolate shop called Le Chocolat.  We serve gourmet hot chocolates, yummy desserts, and little candies to go.  It seems like it will be a good distraction from my thesis writing/homework time and waiting for Ryan  to come home...which is basically all I do all day.  I am kinda in a dazed stupor on a regular basis--I do random things like just get in my truck to go get gas. It seems so pathetic now that I am writing it and everyone can read that I really have no real life here, but the truth is--the only other thing I could really be doing is spending a ton of money on stuff we don't need.  When Ryan is off work and we have nothing to do, we usually go "shopping" which means we actually walk around one of the hundreds of shopping centers in the area and look at all the crap we do not need whatsoever.  If I were doing that all day by myself too, I would go insane.  So, I sit at home a lot, work some on homework, clean, and have just started training to run a half marathon this Spring.

My life never seems too pathetic--until Ryan leaves...he has his second business trip overnight tomorrow (just three hours south of us) and I do not have to work or have anything else to do.  That is where it starts to get a little too real that I need a hobby or local friends.

And, even though it seems like I am complaining, I am actually quite content with a pathetic life.  I try to do one meaningful thing a day and that usually gets me by.  At the very least, it gives me something to tell Ryan I did all day! Even though I do not do much during the day, I have never looked forward to seeing my husband on a daily basis this much.  We both get so excited to come home to each other and FOR THAT I am extremely fortunate.

Lastly, I thought I would advertise on here as well that we are taking reservations for visitors! Ryan will be gone for an entire week starting Feb 20 :( I am going to go insane! Come see me!
