It's Makeover's Y'all!

So, my mother-in-law and her sister (Aunt-in-law?) stopped over last night. They are so concerned over what happened. What went wrong? What was so horrible about our relationship that it wasn't worth saving?

His mother likes to disect him. His every word, move, thought... She said he's not a very thoughtful man. More focused on himself then others. Quite selfish actually. She also noted he was quite lazy and very messy. Very very messy. There was a lengthy discussion on how he constantly pee's on the side of the toilet and never cleans it up. She also went into length about how he never shares his feelings, and has no empathy if someone else is upset, and can come off cold and uncaring, even though he may actually care. He just doesn't know how to show it. She then went into an example about how he is a horrible communicator. Really. Horrible. Example:
His Mom: Hi Son, how are you today?
Him: Fine
His Mom: How are you doing? What's new?
Him: Nothing
His Mom: What are you up to today?
Him: I dunno
His Mom: Want to get together for lunch?
Him: No
His Mom: Why?
Him: I'm sick...
His Mom: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
Him: You didn't ask!

Frustrating - I know. Normal people would be like:
You: Hi, How are you?
Me: Ugh, I'm sick - some kind of flu I think.
But if you don't ask the perfectly worded question, you will never know whats going on with him.
After this lengthy discussion my Aunt-in-law says "Wow, I really think you are way better off without him". She is quite disappointed in him and has never tried to hide it. She thinks he's making a huge mistake and isn't afraid to admit it.
Now as much as I love these bitch sessions, America's Next Top Model is on Y'all! AND!! It's MAKEOVER week!!!
HELLO!

Luckily I had it on the correct channel all night so I could just rewind it and watch it. I love me some ANTM makeovers.

One Year Wedding Anniversary, and Exactly Two Weeks Since My Husband Moved Out...

Teen Mom Deuxième Partie

Farrah. Farrah Farrah Farrah. You know what? Poor Farrah has no money. She has $100.00 to her name, rent is due in two weeks and her baby is starving!
You know what Farrah? I caught then end of Teen Mom yesterday in fact. I was waiting for the Real World to start (Guilty Pleasure). Precious little Farrah was at the hair dresser, complaining about how broke she was - getting her extensions put in. You  know, I don't have extensions, but I can bet that they are not cheap. I would put money on it in fact. I remeber a while ago as well I caught a glimpse of it, and Farrah was at the salon getting mani/pedi's with her daughter. Her not even one year old daughter. Again, I think that costs some cash.
From the parts of Teen Mom that I've seen (and I admit to watch it occasionally) Farrah was living in her family's rental for little to no money, she then moved into her own place and couldn't afford it. Well if you're so broke, stay at your parents rental, don't get hair extensions, mani/pedis. Really? Really? And I cannot believe, well I don't believe, that Farrah is not making a decent amount of money off of the show as well as these magazine covers. I bet she is making more money then most of us.
Grow up Farrah. You're a mom. It's time to act like an adult.
And what's with her leaving her baby unattended so much? That baby has fallen, been locked out of the apartment, been splashed with hot water, and God knows what else more times then I can count. I have probably only seen about 3 full episodes.

Teen Mom

Why, oh why, are the kids from Teen Mom on so many magazine covers? Really... Why.... I want to know...

These are 16 year old girls that got knocked up. Is this magazine cover worthy?

Look at all the magazine covers...

And seriously, I searched for like 10 seconds... and I found ALL of these...

And why is Farrah broke? SHES ON THE COVER OF OK MAGAZINE!!! They must get some kind of money for that. They MUST! And you know what Farrah? Back in MY DAY, when 16 year old girls had kids - they studied their asses off to get their GED, and you know what else? They got their GED because they left school so they could get jobs. Full time jobs. You know what a full time job gets you? Money! So these 16 year old girls left school - studied endlessly to get GED or to challenge the final exams, they worked full time AND took care of their kids. Novel idea- I know.

Ooooh, and Maci - a new shot at love. Maybe little Maci should take it easy. Keep the ol' legs glued together for a while. Focus on herself and her baby. Just a thought.

What do you guys think about these Teen Mom's getting so much press?

Dating...

Ahhhh dating.

You know what amazes me? Women (or men) that can have their husband (or wife) leave one weekend, and be dating the next weekend. Or even more shocking, women (or men) who date while they are still married, and then leave their spouse for the other person, and continue to date and live happily ever after (maybe).

Can I tell you, I have ZERO interest in dating. Like seriously, zero. In the past, having a flirty funny conversation with a cute doctor was fun. Now, it vomit inducing. Seriously, I throw up a little bit each time. I hate it. I would rather SLOWLY be ripped apart limb by limb by a dull toothed great white that's not that hungry.

Crazy hey? I actually backed away from the computer a little bit when that picture came up. How far down does his throat actually go? Anyway, dating, yah, no thank you!

And really, at this point, when you are left for no real reason, how can you ever be comfortable again. I'm 33, so I have to eventually start dating again, I can't be alone forever, but how do you not wake up every morning thinking "is this it? is this the day he decides he doesn't want to be with me anymore?" Do you ever get over that? Or is it forever in the back of your mind? I guess we'll find out!

I Dreamed That The World Was Crumbling Down We Sat On My Back Porch And Watched It...

When it rains it pours people. Apparently things happen in three's? Well, I'm not sure I can handle one more thing.

So my husband officially moved out for a while on Tuesday. That day, he took Phinneus Mekus, our little girl ferret to the vet. Well, turns out she's sick. She's really sick. He gave her about a month.

This is her (click to enlarge)

So now, Phinneus Mekus is daddy's little girl. So I'm shipping her off to go stay with him for a couple weeks - she CLEARLY loves him more. I feel bad for her that she has to stay in a strange place and can't be with both of us. I also worry I may never see her again. Poor little girl. She's my only little girl and I love her.

So what do you do when you're sad and sick of staring at the same beige walls at work everyday? Make a super peppy art wall.

Up close - Phinneus Mekus - a little hyper girl.

William - sleeping

Theodore wearing my cat hat - so funny. Theodore is totally a momma's boy. He is to me, what Phinneus is to my husband.

Ted flying over Phinneus

There are some more - but I don't want to bore you.

What do you do to cheer yourself up?

Apparently It's Common!

Apparently, it's common...

Me: Yah, JP decided he no longer wished to be married

You: Really? Why? What happened?

Me: I don't know

You: Well why is he leaving?

Me: I don't know

You: What reason did he give?

Me: He doesn't know - he just no longer wants to be married

You: You know, that same thing happened to (insert your family member or friend here) me, my sister, my brother, my cousin, my neighbor...

Isn't that weird?

Do people really wake up one day and say - meh, I'm done being married - time to move on. And, for the people that do do this - do you think about the consequences? How you are affecting the other person? And, if you're in my position, did you not think about this a year ago? I've been married for less than a YEAR! could you not figure this out BEFORE we got married? Really?

Apparently that is also quiet common. Ending a marriage (especially your first marriage) within the first 2 years. They call this your "practice marriage". Hmmmm... I wish I had heard of this BEFORE we got married.

The Future Could Be Pink!

So, you know what helps when you're caught in a rut. Thinking about the life you will no longer have. The family you will no longer have. Thinking about how your husband no longer wishes to be with you - and you don't know why?

Thinking about the future!

Thinking about my future apartment to be exact. This is going to be the cleanest, most organized apartment EVER. OCD tendencies rejoice!

Everything at your fingertips!

And the closet – oh the closet!

It can be anyway that I want it to be. Set up how I like it… it can be PINK!

  

What gets you through a rut?
