Blog about this, about that...about nothing.

Published on November 15, 2004 By dharmagrl In Blogging

I don't have anything to write about, so I'm going to write about nothing.

This weekend was an exercise in relaxation. We ordered chinese takeout, watched TV, slept in. We were going to take the kids to the movies to see 'The Incredibles', but one of them decided to be obnoxious - so we decided that we weren't going to reward bad behaviour and we all stayed home.

D and I spent some quality time together after the kids had gone to bed Friday and Saturday night. Things haven't been easy since he got back; learning to live together again has been hard. But, we've worked at it and have both made sacrifices and it's paying off. Things have been getting better...there's the odd disagreement, but overall it's been much easier. We go through phases, I've noticed. We coast along, doing fine...and then all of a sudden we fall in love again. Just when I think that I can't love him more...that love grows again, multiplies, gets deeper. It's really quite amazing. This weekend was one of those phases. He really is awesome...and why he chose me to spend his life with is quite beyond me. I don't deserve him....but I'm glad I've got him!

I wrapped the Christmas gifts that are destined for Europe and Australia yesterday. I'll need to get them in the mail this week if they're going to make it to their destinations by December 25th. It felt really good to take a last look at the things I had chosen and made for the people I love...I just hope they like them!

I knitted a beanie to completion yesterday, and then started on a pair of wrist warmers to match (Christmas presents for someone near and dear to me). I saw leg warmers in Wal-Mart last week...and I'm tickled that the clothes I wore when I was a teenager are 'in' again! I found a pattern for legwarmers so I'm going to knit me a couple of pairs of those too! Yay for 80's styles becoming cool again!

Work today was okay....slow, but good. My weekend girl had left me a big mess to clean up, so I'm going to be talking to both her and our boss this week. All she has to do is watch the counter on the weekends, she doesn't have to bake or decorate or stock....so I don't think that cleaning up after herself is too much to ask. She apparently didn't show up on Satuday either.....I think she's going to end up getting canned before too long.I wish that my daughter was old enough to be legally employed; I think she'd be a wonderful replacement!

So, that's the end of my blog about nothing. I'm going to go soak in the tub and think about....nothing!

I know exactly what that's like.

Well, not with Dave, y'know, but... you know what I meant.

Leg warmers are back?! OMG! Makes me flash back to my cheerleader days in the 80s. Had to match my warmers with my top...good grief!

So glad to hear that you and D are doing well. My hubby and I were just talking last night about how we both feel we are growing together and what a comfort that is when you have so many couple around you that are falling apart. We may have found a new babysitter too! First trial date night will be this week. I sure hope it works out.

Best wishes.

Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean! It's scary, the amount of couples who are splitting up. We sometimes feel like we're an island of marital stability in a sea of divorce! Growing together....sometimes takes work, but is so incredibly fulfilling and satisfying. I cannot even begin to tell you how much and how deeply I love that man....but I'm guessing you have an idea...after all, you feel the same way about yours!

Yes, leg warmers are back!! I'm getting me a pair of straight leg jeans and some pixie boots to go with my leg warmers! I just hope mullets don't make a comeback......

Sometimes the blogs about nothing are the most interesting. This was a great read.

Glad things are going well between you and Dave. It took some adjusting for my wife and I once I was done with rotations and actually around again. I can imagine there is just that much more when it has been a complete separation for as long as it was. Best wishes and prayers for continued joy together.
