midweek confessions

This is quite theraputic if I do say so myself ...

- Last Friday we simply stayed at home.  Mark watched a movie and I caught up on blogs, facebook (since my app refuses to show me messages and such), etc.  It may sound boring but it was the best Friday in a while!

- I hate grocery shopping alone.  Mark and I always go together.  I know we won't always be able to do this (with the addition of kids and such) but I really like that time together.  Mark was out of town on Saturday and I had to go alone. It wasn't much fun.  There was no one to joke with and make decisions with.

- I have been blessed with a spouse that I agree with 99.99% of the time.  We never argue.  We just simply get along.  If we ever do disagree then it's usually resolved really quickly because we would both rather just compromise then "be right".  With that being said .. it's not always perfect.  Example?  My husband is an overly-aggressive driver (my opinion) and it makes me C.R.A.Z.Y.  This is something recently (in the last year or so) that has really started to grate on my nerves.  I'm trying to keep things in perspective but I take it personally sometimes when I ask him to slow down and then he goes THE EXACT SPEEDLIMIT out of spite.  I'm confessing this now because we argued about it on Sunday.  He basically hurt my feelings and then we just didn't talk for the 5 minutes it took us to get to where we were going.  That doesn't sound bad but it certainly isn't constructive and we need to figure this out.  I NEVER want to be "that wife" that nags all the time and he just doesn't take me seriously which hurts my feelings a lot.  we'll figure it out...

- On a lighter note .. I am totally obsessed with grey nail polish right now.  I keep thinking I need to move on to a different color or something but I keep wanting to go back to it.  I think it's the perfect winter shade.  Not too harsh like black but more neutral and interesting than nude.  Love it!

- Finally .. my neice is due Friday and I may or may not be SO FREAKING EXCITED.  I am trying really hard to leave her parents alone and not smother.  I've really kept my distance because I know they have (obviously!) a lot on their plate right now with their first-born on the way but I can't help to want to quiz them about everything (since I can't be there).  also .. I might be a tad jealous. stupid baby fever...
