I'm almost halfway through my work day. I'm alone in the office. the sun in shining. the breeze is blowing. and I am bored out of my mind. I have run out of useless websites to visit. I mean, how much useless internet crap can my mind take in?
Maybe my boss will come back soon. Like that will help... not a great conversationalist. You know those movies where there is a normal, every day, kind of boring guy who has a family and an office job and just goes about his life until something absolutely wonderful or terribly tragic happens and then you see that he is special and different from everyone else? Well, my boss is like that, except without the exciting end bit. I'm very tempted to see what he would do if I put his stapler in jell-o. My guess? He'd shake with rage and point me to the door.... some people have no appreciation for the finer (and funnier) things in life. Plus jell-o might melt and no one wants that.
On the up side, this weekend marked the closing of the wedding registry. There are a few items left on there, but they're things we've gotten somewhere else or have discovered we don't need. It's very adult. Owning all of the housewares, I mean. The apple corer, the basting brush, the cutlery, the shelf of cookbooks and cereal. Coming home and knowing all of that belongs to Blake and me... it's pretty deep stuff. Like, I used to be a kid, but like, now, I'm like, big. In college I still felt pretty much like a child. Taking home your laundry every couple of weeks will do that. But now...
I like being an adult, don't get me wrong. I mean, this whole husband thing... well, it's pretty damn awesome. And my relationship with my mother is perfect now that we don't have to live with each other. But wow. I'm too young to feel so much nostalgia. It was little over a year ago that I was in college with my roomies. Good times. It was less than 10 years ago that I was completely awkward and thought that I would never get married. Not so good times. Less than 20 years ago, I was living it up, playing in the mud and learning shapes and addition.
time. i can't believe how many and how few years i've been alive.
I really need to stop acting elderly.
