They basically mean the same thing, but they describe my day to day life quite well.
Since making the big move to the Dirty Jerz in November I kind of feel like I’ve been running at a rather high RPM. I tend to overwhelm myself, if you know me this is not shocking, but I think I need to take a minute to praise myself a bit.
Living with a Boy
It's difficult at times; Sophie and I had our own routine in our cute little condo. I dropped food on the floor and she would make it magically disappear, apparently this isn't the 'correct' way to clean up your messes in the kitchen. Who knew?! It worked for us and my doggie really enjoyed my clumsy moments. Overall, my roommate is very accepting, until I start watching anything on E! or Bravo, but no one is keeping me from y housewives, those ladies are crazy! I'd like to mention that I've been here for 6 months and have yet to see one of these illusive housewives, it's upsetting.
Navigational Skills
I've always had a good internal compass and was able to get myself just about anywhere on those beautifully gridded streets of Tulsa. Things are bit more curvy and slanted in these parts, but I've done well so far. I'm proud to say that I managed to lead Nate (Brother) and Eric (Brother type) around Jersey, NY and back to Jersey. Everyone is still alive and well, success!! Mr. Tom Tom (or Bob Bob) and Google Maps have saved my rear more than I care to admit, but I use them less and less each day. That being said, I am available to plan your upcoming road trip, at a very reasonable fee, of course.
Mad Money Saving
So, we aren't rolling in the Benjamin's *GASP*...I know. We are very lucky people, but we both went to college and are victims of Mr. MasterCard, he's a jerkface. Once the dust settled from the wedding and honeymoon it was time to tighten the purse strings a bit, start planning for the future while living a comfortable life. I am happy to report that we have finally locked in the budget. It took a few months of tweaking, but we've found a system that works for us. I've taken up couponing and have hit a nice stride, keeping our weekly out of pocket costs to no more than $80. Dont' worry; we aren't eating mustard and cereal only. I do have a years supply of shampoo and conditioner, and I am proud of that! This has even given me a part time job, check out my weekly post at The Krazy Coupon Lady.
The Corporate World
I really thought that wearing real clothes to work everyday would be a bummer. I was used to just picking a t-shirt to go with my black yoga pants, throwing on my tennis shoes and running out the door. I have to say that I rather enjoy wearing the real stuff. The laptop and cell phone kind of take over sometimes, but all in all the job isn't too bad. I'm finally beginning to understand what I'm saying and I've impressed myself a time or two. For the most part I enjoy the people I work with on a daily basis, it's nice to be able to laugh a little bit with your coworkers! I'm hoping that the coming months are exciting, but calm!
Growing a Green Thumb
My thumb is straight up black y'all, hardcore. By some magic wand or the Grace of God I have managed to keep three herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, and Parsley), two plants (Tomato and Pepper), and one flower (Azalea)alive for the past month or so. Now, the Azalea bush isn't no looking too hot and I did kill off the Basil, but this is massive improvement for me. I've been known to kill what my grandma thinks is unkillable. It's a word, I just said so!
