on my mind as of lately..

i'm completely satisfied with the thought of living in a cottage for the rest of my life.
not a house.
and it might have to be in the mountains to reach my fullest satisfaction.
me and brad are finding excuses to drive past this house daily.
lately i've had a funny urge to work at a bakery.
owning one would be ideal, but working at one would be good enough for me.
i even told brad i'd be totally cool if he wanted to switch careers and own a bakery instead.
he said he'd consider it...
all i want to do is drink sugary hot chocolate with doughnuts all day long and not have to worry about my blood sugars going hay-wire.
p.s. also, i want to be lazy and watch movies all day while enjoying hot chocolate and doughnuts and not feel an ounce of guilt from doing so.
before our wedding day, we heard countless times the advice to
"go to bed mad, and you'll wake up happy in the morning".
we found out last night.........and this morning.......that that advice doesn't work for us.
i think we'll resolve the matter before we go to bed so it doesn't trickle on to the next day..

One: I drink and eat sugar all day and it doesn't make you as happy as you'd think; now I'm just fat.
Two: I've always thought working in a bakery would be amazing too! Except you have to work crappy hours.
Three: Tom and I can't go to bed mad, either. It gets worse the next day :0)
Four:I miss you!

Who in their right mind told you to ever go to bed mad?? Good for you and your hubbie to never ever do that- heaven forbid one of you don't wake up the next day and then the one left living has to live with the guilt of having their last moments with the one they love in wrath. The scriptures even say that "Let not the sun go down on your wrath." I never comment on your blog becuase I am a lurker- oh dear now I have given myself away- yes I read your blog and I absolutely love everything about you. You don't know me- well you use to know me when you were little. My family lived three doors down from yours and I use to baby sit you and your two sisters and your brother Rob..oh dear I have again exposed myself- I am old- yes. My younger sister Liz was one of Stacie's friends. I just adored your family- you guys were all so stinkin cute. Liz is how I found your blog- and now I am in love with it. I think you are the most beautiful, full of life, fun, spunky, happy person I have ever met- well read about. The reason I kept reading your blog after Liz showed it to me was because of your Diabetic Blog. We have some horrific blood sugar issues in our home and you have been such an inspiration. Please forgive me if I sound crazy- I pormise I am not, ask your parents they will remember me. Anyways I just love your fresh perspective on life. You are a truly lovely person. Thank you for making my day a little bit happier when I read your blog.

I go to bed mad at times, and we are still happy as can be! (or maybe just I am in the morning) Nothing wrong with it. But, if we had to dress like you guys in that last photo, I'm sure things would never get resolved. You sure make me laugh. :)

I totally feel ya. And why on earth do we have to be diabetic? Adam doesn't even like sugar...why isn't he the one stricken with disease? I'm sure he wouldn't mind one bit eating only meat & cheese for the rest of his life. I on the other hand could eat an entire bakery and then watch movies for the rest of my life. I know how you feel.

I agree! I can hold a grudge like nobody's bid-ness, going to bed mad doesn't help.

I love how we get to figure out what works best for our relationships. Advice is great but sometimes it's all about finding out what YOU two like best! PS Thanks for totally making it impossible for me to eat healthy today. All I'm saying is, the "HOT" light better be on when I hit up Krispy Kreme on my way home. Dang you.

oh no, who told you that??? We were told to NEVER go to bed mad...cause you dont ever want to wake up mad...but we also go the advice to fight naked....

My little sister wants to own a bakery, too! She's planning on calling it "Melanie's Cakes and Buns." :)

bgibb said...

oh leslie! those romeril genes got me too. luckily i don't have a husband who has to put up with them. hmm, or maybe that's not so lucky...

melissa! i would totally come visit you if you lived in that cottage! and i love the pic of you and brad.

Erin and Tony said...

haha, I love the picture, although I have no idea how it came to be... the story seems like an interesting one. I hear ya on the sugar thing, I am not near as careful as I should be, I love sugar! It gets old...
