I guess I run now

or I’m trying to anyway.

 

I could really get used to…

this whole living with your husband thing. I don’t know why we didn’t think of it earlier :)

Yeah, so maybe we’re experiencing the honeymoon we never had, but things are going so very good now. It’s weird not to be constantly thinking about when I can get away to see him & it’s weird to have him around all the time, rather than just talk to him on the phone every day. But it’s a good weird. It’s a great weird, really.

Yesterday we went shopping for stools for the new kitchen island (I’ll post a picture of the island later today) & it took us over 3 hours to find ones that we liked & could afford. The last part was the real deal breaker: I’m just not prepared to pay $200-$450 a piece for stools. Did I miss something? I mean, we literally saw more than one stool in the $400 range! We hit about 6 stores before hubby spotted a JC Penny Furniture store behind this mall I’d never seen before. Walked in the door & in the area between the two doors to the place, there were the stools we’d been looking for, on sale for $60 a piece…still pricey, but more affordable. We have to pick them up in two weeks, but that’s 2 weeks without hubby making all kinds of “stool” jokes, & it’ll be at least 10 years before we have to go stool shopping again, so that’s bliss.:)

Okay, today no teaching, I’m just holding open lab hours for my students who want to meet with their groups or talk or whatever. So I’m dressing Friday casual & taking the gym bag with me so I can do some weights and walk a bit (no running til tomorrow for me!) after class.

Breakfast: usual

Lunch: salad was Greek food. I had 1/4 cup cheddar soup, maybe 5 bites rice pilaf, one stuffed grape leaf, 1/2 small portion of moussaka, and 1 spinach pie. Not great, but I let hubby graze freely on my plate & he finished off most of it.
Dinner: 17 cheeze its, fat/sugar free pudding with coolwhip free, beer.
Snack: (see above)

Exercise: None…a series of journals I ordered from ILL came in, but rather than being journals, they were microfilm, so I sat in the library all afternoon scanning back issues.

Have a great day everyone!

$400 for a stool is just a little ridiculous! I mean, it’s a round peice of wood with 4 legs and some cushion!! Glad you found some closer to your price range.

Living with your husband!! Imagine that! It is a little surreal. I remember when I got married. It did feel a little weird to be living with someone.

Good luck tomorrow!! I’ll be joining you on your 5k journey as I am going to sign up for one as well.

So glad you’re enjoying the “honeymoon” period. Sometimes there’s an adjustment period when people get used to living with each other.

$400 for a barstool! I think I would have needed the chair to hold me up when I saw the tag!
