confession

i am starting to come to terms with my tag-along wife status.  if nothing else, i should be grateful that i married someone who is excelling at his job (and will ideally be moving us to awesometown).

dh and i are the only ones on either side of the family to not own a house.  sometimes i feel like we are not real adults, but when bil told us about having to spend $$$ on a new roof, i feel a little smug.  dh and i have also discussed renting forever. 

i asked dh if we knew anyone who is hosting a superbowl party.  i want wings, man.

We're hosting a Superbowl party and I've demanded that wings be on the menu.  FIL talked about making them, but I'm really craving some medium sauce from BW3's. 

The Hmo's are invited, if you want to make the trek to Indy.

I am with you here. I'm still not sold on being the tagalong wife though. I'm working on making friends, and I think I'll be better once I have a social outlet. I just reconnected with 2 girls I was BFFs with during my semester in London. We hadn't seen each other since, but now we all miraculously live in the same city.

Also, renting is often a far better financial move than owning. I think a lot of our generation got caught up in the falsehood that renting=throwing away money.

Will make you wish you were still renting. I'm sure people in CA and NY feel the same way.

Confession: My crush from college has a HOT wife, and I didn't expect any less from him. She's had 3 kids, and even I'm like DAMN. He was so hot in college.

I'll post a pic tonight.

dh sent me a job posting for london.  he asked, "should i apply?"  and i internet-screamed "YES YES YES WHAT'S THE HARM IN APPLYING."  i want him to advance career-wise for my own selfish reasons.

we are also having the babies talk, mainly because we are both getting so old (according to our parents).  and i discovered a grey hair "down there."

Ditto to all of this, although, if H doesn't get his rear in gear, I may be the one who has a tagalong spouse (which is fine).

DH has indicated on several occasions that he would prefer to be the tag-along.  I point out that he moved me to a place where career advancement is next to impossible.  Also, I don't really have any ambition for my chosen career.  I think this all means that we are in trouble.

DH is getting used to the whole idea of tag along status - but seeing as how I moved here for him, I think this move to TX for my job puts us on more even footing.

...not to mention it's a good chance to 'start over' in a sense - especially house wise - we can get so much more for our money in TX, that it's been a lot of fun house hunting so far.

it turns out i know almost the entire soundtrack to "the muppet movie" by heart.  i had it on vinyl, and apparently i listened to it enough that i can recall all the songs, but i do not remember the movie at all.

I can still quote Muppets Take Manhattan and The Great Muppet Caper.

i do not understand people who wear their shoes in the house.  it's not an asian thing; it's an outside thing.

this ramen that my mom gave me is delightful.  i also discovered that it's almost $5 a pack.  wow.

**Stinky!**

We don't have Super Bowl plans. You could invite us over.

I've fully accepted my role as a tag-along wife. It's not so bad.

I can't remember which way the earth rotates without singing to myself, "Hey I never seen the sun come up in the west.  Movin' right along..."

Also, my favorite song that we have done so far in church choir was my favorite because it sounded a lot like the "saying goodbye" song from Muppets Take Manhattan, except this one was about communion.

H got me the first season of the Muppets on DVD. I can sing all the songs even though I am sure I haven't seen an episode in 20-some-odd years. He was giving me some serious side-eye.

That song Miss Piggy & Kermit sing at the altar in Muppets Take Manhattan turns me into a blubbering idiot every. time. I hear it.

Miss Piggy:
I only know
He'll make me happy
That's all I need...to...know...

 ::sniff::

hmonkey

the only part of "muppets take manhattan" that i remotely recall is kermit tentatively singing, "i .... do."

dh gave me plenty side-eye as i was singing along.  this is better than getting disgust-face, which i normally get when i am watching my stories: idkiwp, teen mom, jersey shore.

got the BIGGEST disgust face from H. He was all like, "WHO does that shoit!?" I was like, "some dude who wants to be on TV? I dunno." And then H went on for ten minutes about how that was the dumbest thing he has ever seen, etc, etc, etc. I've never seen him so passionate about TV, except for the Golden Girls, which are strictly verboten.
