THE DAILY DIVERSION

Okay, so I've had enough of ranting, for now. Instead, I'm going to try to get back in the flow of just talking about what's going on everyday with me and my beautiful wife.

However, first I have to give a link to my updated "Rules". I only do this because "someone" tells me they never check over there unless it's linked to in my post here. Somehow the link over to the right is too difficult to find, or something. Look over there -------->

Okay, so I'm getting soft in my old age. That, or marriage has just loosened me up some. Back when I was younger (yeah, like that was eons ago or something) I would get amazingly angry about little things. These days, however, I try to take things in stride. As I try to explain to my wife, there's nothing you can really do about it, because things happen.

I think a lot of it harkens to my feeling that fate plays it's hand in so many parts of our lives. It was, after all, fate that brought Adrianne and I together. I've told that story already. If you missed it, check it out here. Anyway, I feel like things happen for a reason. I'm not quite sure what the reasoning fate has for making my phone short out when a little wine got on it is, but we'll see, won't we? We're currently in the process of looking for replacements. I really liked my Motorola RAZR, so that's my first choice. I just don't plan on paying a couple hundred dollars for another new phone, so we have to get it cheap!

Work is going well right now. I've stopped being lazy and I'm actually working on my reviews. Our new employee is in Nashville doing some training, so I have a little time to work on things myself. It's too bad I've wasted most of the two days she hasn't been here, otherwise I could probably have close to half of my work done. It's alright though, because I'll probably get to pass off some of my work to other (only because they were assigned less accounts and somehow finished up early).

Married life is good too. It could be somewhat better, but we're both getting used to it. Adrianne's working late nearly every night, and I fully expected that. It just kind of sucks that she leaves before I'm awake in the morning and then gets home after I do every night. The only time we have together is after she gets home and on the weekends. After work is pretty much shot, because she has loose ends to take care of. We usually get about a half hour together every night where we have each other's full and undivided attention. It just so happens that time is usually dinner time.

I have, however, been working on my cooking skills. Having her work late pretty much puts me in the kitchen every night, which isn't a bad thing. I enjoy cooking for others. I hate cooking for just myself. At the same time though, I don't know that I could cook for an army either. I think the most I've ever cooked for is eight people, and it seemed like I was just running around from place to place, making sure everything was okay. That's not a whole lot of fun.

Anyway, tonight I'm making Indian food for Adrianne, Mary Jo, and myself. I'm hoping it's good, and that it doesn't make me spend 90% of my day tomorrow on the toilet! I'll leave you with that thought!
