hmm..so work has been getting better the past few days..which is a relief as it has been unbearable most of the time. I don't know if I'm just becoming immune to it all or what..but I just don't care anymore about rude customers and annoying workmates/managers and I just didn't go home feeling like I wanted to cry the past few days..always a plus.
Easter was good. I wish that I could have gone up to my dad's house but it was too far a drive for just one day since I had to work both Saturday and Monday. I ended up going to the boyfriend's house for Easter dinner. I realized that there is no place like home for the holidays. I've had Thanksgiving and Easter at his house this past year..and I realized that I miss my own family traditions and food. I almost about died on Thanksgiving when there were no mashed potatoes. What? Really?? That's like the staple to any holiday dinner at my house. For Easter I resigned to the fact that I probably wouldn't be having mashed potatoes..and I was right..no mashed potatoes..just scalloped..which is good..but I longed for those mashed potatoes for sure. Isn't it funny how we all have our own way of doing things and have our own foods that we can count on having? I hate when it gets mixed up. I was thinking about how excited I am to start my own traditions when I get married and have a family. There will be mashed potatoes for sure.
So..I'm in my first long term relationship right now..its been over 2 years..and I love him..I do..and I know that I'm going to marry him..not now..but in time. However..there is one thing that irks me..and I know I'm not the only one..but why is it that guys don't ever make any effort once you get to a certain point? I mean..my boyfriend still does nice things for me..but when we started dating there were always those cute little surprises waiting for me and all the thoughtful gestures. Now..it's like it doesn't matter. He doesn't have to impress me..and I know that I am lucky because he really is super sweet and does do nice things for me..but I don't know..why does the really romantic and super impressing side of guys leave after a few years..I still like Prince Charming..so where the heck did he go??

You know what Jamie? I'm STILL asking myself that same question and I've been married once, had umpteen boyfriends, and am in a 5 year long relationship right now. That's just guys. I don't know why they do that. Its like they feel that now that they have you they can relax and just "be". I say no fair!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can FULLY appreciate what you are saying about holiday mealtimes with the boyfriend's family. I really miss my grandma's Southern style holiday meals and since we seem to end up at my boyfriend's mom's house every holiday (she freaks if we don't) its been 5 years of me missing my normal stuff. Sucks.
