If you follow my other blog, you’ll know that for the tail end of January and most of February I was away at ALC in Oklahoma, you can read about that [here]. But even in REAL LIFE the month of February was most unpleasant. There really is so much I could potentially write about, but I’ll try to summarize the best that I can in bullet form.
1. February tricked me as it started off good. Got my tax return just before the end of January (which to was a relatively not so glamorous month), and paid off both My Living Room set AND Bedroom set.
2. Then I went to ALC in Oklahoma. Like I said… It was retarded.
3. The girls were sick for almost an entire month and projectile vomiting, and managed to destroy our pretty badassery lamp in the living room. Due to my quest in Oklahoma, it kinda sucked knowing there wasn’t anything I could do.
4. I (and Whittney) had to put up with Whittney’s ex texting / sending multiple nude pictures of himself in combination with random verbal propositions. Surprisingly that wasn’t the suckie part. The suckie part for me was knowing that not only did Whittney feel violated, but that she didn’t even feel safe alone in her own home. The feeling of not being able to protect what or who you love is horrible…. that’s why now we have a gun. 🙂
5. For those of you who are kind of in the loop, my brother has been battling some medial issues for several years now, and February was just not a good month. It takes an emotional toll on all of us. On the upside though, the FDA just approved (as in yesterday!) a new drug that might help in fighting his condition. He’ll be one of the fist people in the hospital, maybe even the state to receive the treatment. Everyone cross your fingers.
6. One of our ferrets, Alice, died just days after my return from ALC after a tragic accident. It was horrible. It was eye opening to see how fast one can become attached to pets. We were all upset over her death.
But as the month came to and end, things started to look up. We got to take the girls to a park and shoot off some rockets. Addison loves it! We also did a little bit of GeoCaching, and Whittney found her first one!! So congrats to her.
Obviously I was gone for our first Valentines day together, so I made it up to her by taking a trip to The Melting Pot in Seattle, the first one we went to together, and surprised her by having a dozen pink roses waiting for her at the table. Needless to say, dinner was delicious. I mean come on, it’s the fucking melting pot! If you haven’t been there yet, get with it and treat yourself to awesomeness!
At the end of February, I sorta kinda spontaneously went out and bought a car. Might I add it’s a NEW car? As in I’m the 1st owner of it.. EVER! I’ll blog about it later, because its quite an achievement in my life. But let me say, it’s quite sexy. Vroom Vroom.
And finally, I want to congratulate Whittney for her accomplishment while I was away for a month. For 28 days, she jumped right into a hardcore diet and exercise routine where she worked out twice a day. Her hard efforts and dedication was rewarded with a loss of 20lbs in just 28 days!!! I don’t care who you are, that’s freaking phenomenal. It was her preparation to begin… *drum roll please….*
P90X !!!
Both of us have just begun our 2nd week of P90X together, and might I say, it’s so much more motivating ,fun, and challenging doing it with a partner… I’m talking about P90X guys… geeze… get your mind out of the gutter.
Until next time!
