The Forgotten Blog

So it has been awhile...a long, long while since I have updated this blog. In that time, some changes have occurred. Here is an update to my poor, forgotten blog...I am now a Mrs. and soon to be Mommy! Everyone tells you that there are two days in your life that really stand out, one is the day you get married and the other is the day you get to hold your child for the first time. Well, our wedding was definitely one of those days! The snowstorm that wouldn't end let up for the day and gathered with our close friends and family, we were able to enjoy the happiest day of both of our lives thus far...that is until our little Joey Jr. joins the family...

Sleepy Saturday

So you know you're in a committed relationship when it's 11:00 on a Saturday night and you're sitting at home watching your boyfriend snore on the couch. What happened to the parties, the staying up all night talking, or the dates in general? I feel like an old woman sitting here with only the cat for company. It's pretty sad really.

I guess I could go out for a girls night, or meet up with some friends from school, but little by little I'm discovering that my circle of friends outside of Joey is dwindling. I used to hate those girls who disappeared after a new flame came into their life, but I guess I'm becoming one of them. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be dating my best friend, but sometimes it worries me that I'm losing contact with others because I feel the need to spend every waking moment by his side.

Maybe it's just that I'm growing up. The drinking and partying has not been as appealing to me as of late. I'd rather just curl up with a good book or have a meaningful get-together with friends. Whatever it is, I do miss those spontaneous nights once in awhile and would like to think that I still have it in me...

Listening Skills: The Inca Cola Conundrum

If you ask a woman what causes the most issues in her relationship with her significant other, her answer will come out like a reflex...LISTENING. The sad truth of it is that men often don't have the strongest listening skills. My favorite example of this in my own relationship is the infamous "Inca Cola Conundrum" as I like to call it.

I suppose I should preface this story with the fact that Joey LOVES a soda called "Inca Cola." Inca Cola, also known as "Golden Cola" is a Peruvian soft drink that is yellow in color and tastes kind of like bubblegum. So continuing with the story...

Joey, our roommate Ryan, and I had planned to have a party one evening. As Ryan and I were heading out to buy "drinks" for the gathering, we asked Joey if he wanted us to pick up anything for him. After attempting to ask him four times, he finally looked up, with a face of pure horror, and asked..."Did you drink my Inca Cola?"

I said no and relieved, he turned back to his computer. I attempted to explain that we were going to purchase alcoholic beverages and again asked if he wanted us to pick anything up for him. Again he looked over and said, "So wait, you DID drink it?"

This went on for about five more minutes before he fully grasped the concept of what Ryan and I were attempting to tell him.

Finally, Ryan and I gave up and brought him back a bottle of bourbon, not before hiding his Inca Cola...

Now this was far from the first time he didn't listen and I'm sure it won't be the last...so here's my advice to all of you guys out there. If you're going to ignore what your girlfriend is saying, at least try to grasp her concept. It makes life a lot easier....
