Thoughtless Thursday and Yes - I AM Alive!

I know, I know.  Two days in the grand scheme of things isn't a long time BUT it's a long time for me to go without blogging!  And I kinda (not really) have an excuse.  Well Tuesday I'm not sure what happened to tell you the truth.  I'm pretty sure that was just straight laziness.  But yesterday I actually did have an excuse.  My mom and I started a Beth Moore Bible study on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 and yesterday was the first one.  There t'aint NO WAY I was going to be a-bloggin' before that, especially when I had to get up to shower (which, again, I don't even know why I do anymore since I proceeded to sweat all the way through Bible study) and then after that I had plans to meet my MOH and sweet little P and have lunch and hang out together.  THEN I ran home, cleaned (part of) our house and went to meet some girlfriends at the dollar theater to see Eclipse.  Yes I just said Eclipse.  And yes your count is correct, that would be my 4th time.  Can we just talk about how I was a LITTLE disturbed by all the random MEN in the theater?  And I don't mean guys dragged there with their girlfriends.  I mean grown men, BY THEMSELVES, going to see Eclipse.  Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?  Cause I sure do ...

Okay, but on to my actual legitimate excuse, which I think just became illegitimate considering I just told you how I spent my day running around being busy, but here it is.  I'm also "sick".  And by "sick" I mean my allergies are sucking something BIG TIME.  As in sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, just down right ANNOYING!  I know it's allergies because I don't have a fever and by all other measures feel just fine, until the symptoms decide to buddy up and become friends making my head a big groggy, stuffy mess.  Then I feel like I need to lay down and not get up until this baby gets here.  So, for now, I'm trying to do as my sweet Mister is so sweetly demanding suggests and drink lots of fluids (i.e. water which is NOT my favorite), rest and "rake 'er reasy Gus-Gus"!  And if you can name what movie that's from I will love you forever.  See, can you tell I don't feel well?  I'm not making much sense right now.  I DO have something fun to discuss for TT though ...

Now y'all know about my Soulmatey.  My online bestie that I've never actually met in real life but feel like I have known her forever.  We met through reading each other's blogs and starting email fests that might as well been real time conversations.  Then we decided "We both have gmail, why don't we chat?" which moved to "We both have cell phones, why don't we text?" which, on Tuesday turned to "We both have voices, why don't we USE them?"  That's right friends, my Soulmatey and I had our first phone date on Tuesday.  And don't worry that it ended up lasting over an hour.  I was a little nervous thinking "What if she doesn't like my voice?  What if I say something stupid that I can't "backspace" like I could in a text?  What if I'm BORING in real life!?!?"  Thinking all these things, you'd think talking on the phone to someone who's voice you've never heard or face you've never seen (in person that is, I've seen plenty of pictures) would be akward.  Truthfully?  Not. one. bit.  As well it shouldn't be, we've been texting/emailing and/or gchatting for ove 8 months now!  And HOPEFULLY we'll have some pictures to post of ourselves TOGETHER as my baby shower is coming up and if everything works out, we'll get to meet in person that weekend.  Now some of you (ahem, my Mister and every other person in my life) may think this is weird.  Or crazy.  Or dangerous (and let me just confirm that after hearing her voice on Tuesday, she is DEFINATELY not a dirty 40 year old man behind a cute blog exterior)  And truthfully, in most situations I would too.  It's not like this is something that happens on an ordinary basis.  But I say a friend is a friend is a friend.  Sometimes you just meet them under different circumstances.  And this is one circumstance I'm very VERY thankful for.  I love you Soulmatey!

One a note of complete randomness (keeping with the theme of TT of course) I thought you should look at the cuteness that I had to cuddle with last night ...

{All cuddled up with the pillows on the couch ...}

Now, last but certainly not least, just to bring you up to speed with what's been going on with us lately, THE MISTER GOT A NEW JOB!  I will post more about this tomorrow but all I can say is this is something that has been a long time coming as he's been working at a large accounting firm for some time now and by working I mean, TO THE BONE and has needed to find something else for his own sanity and a lot of the time, health.  Needless to say we are THRILLED and I couldn't be happier for him.  Congratulations sugar I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

That's it from me today (not that you didn't get more than an eyeful!), happy Thursday loverlies!!!
