I hate money!

He's gone

So, it's only been five and a half hours since Ryan went through security check, and I miss him already! Probably because I know I won't see him for another 4 days. We've only been apart for about a day and a half at the most, and I have issues with being alone. I've decided to think about 10 things that are good about his departure.

10)Listening to my favorite radio station in the car
9)Watching anything I want on TV
8)Having the bathroom to myself
7)Not taking the bus to work
6)Not finding dirty socks all over the apartment
5)Performing song and dance to an imaginary audience
4)No distractions from God time
3)More girl time
2)Having the whole bed to myself
1) The moment I see him again

So, I just realized how much of a procrastinator I really am! I'm trying to figure out what will motivate me into sitting down and either reading, or just being. What I'm hoping is that when the office is De-cluttered and we put some cheap art on the wall, I can just sit on the futon in there and be away from distractions...but it seems to be taking a long time to do that.
Ryan is going away for most of the week this coming week, and I'm getting a lot of anxiety about being alone. But maybe it will be good for me! That's one distraction out of the way, but it might add one by just knowing that I'll be alone in my apartment. I'm trying to fill up at least part of my evenings by being with my friends, so hopefully I won't have a panic attack. Poor Jake (my cat) who will be super cuddled this week!
Wish me luck!

I'M BACK!

So, it's been a while! Things have changed, stuff has happened, but most of my readers (if I still have some) already know me, so I won't bore you with all the details!
I've decided to make a change in my life, and usually when I try and make a change, I do it for a few weeks, and when the honeymoon period is over, I give up. I thought about how I could stop that from happening, what can I do to stop this cycle of personal failure, or just not caring anymore. So I came up with an idea, I'm not sure if it will work, but I'm going to give it a try!
The change I want to make is clear my life of things that make me busy, and spend more time with God. I've been filling my life with things I DO for God, but when it comes down to a relationship with Him, it's non existent. I only have a couple hours in a day when I'm not at work or off doing something, and I want to spend those few precious hours with my husband. I'm going to be brutally honest, I don't pray unless I need something, and I really don't like reading the Bible, mostly because a lot of things don't make sense to me and I get frustrated.
So my plan is to clear my schedual, and take time to spend with God. The way I'm going to try and keep this up is blogging at least once a week and give updates on how it's going. I would love feedback, suggestions and comments!
My first plan of action is reading The Life You Always Wanted by John Ortberg, a book on spiritual disciplines for ordinary people. Chapter 1 - done!

GUESS WHAT???

So I got a phone message this morning, and it turns out that ACE BURPEE is coming to my Brave the Shave!! Those of you who don't know who that is, he is a famous radio host from Winnipeg, and he's on every morning on hot103 fm. He's super funny, and my co-worker Connie is pretty much in love with him!
I emailed him about a week ago, and hopefully he'll say something on the radio for me, and that way I may be able to get more pledges for the cause. I'm super pumped!! Also, any of the women who read this are welcome to come and support me when I Brave the Shave. It's at the Curves on Lakewood, on October 30 at 12:00pm.
