The life of a Bachelorette

Well it has been a week exactly that I have been in the house alone without Josh.  And yes, I do have more time for me and I only have to feed and clean after only me and yada yada yada....but to be honest, it is miserable.  I miss my honey bunny (one of the many names I like to call him).  

Josh took a job, that in the long run is financially wise for us, but it is a huge sacrifice.  Josh is going overseas to work for a year.  I know this is equally hard for him and I wish so bad we could be  together during this job, but unfortunately we can't.

So this week I have filled my time with many pointless and purposeful things....Let's start with the pointless (but still very important):


  • I have listened to Justin Bieber's song "As Long As You Love Me" fifteen times each day followed up with "Give Your Heart a Break" by Demi Lavoto.

  • I have watched three episodes of Breaking Bad each night....it makes me feel strong :)

  • I watched my guilty pleasure, The Bachelor Pad

  • To be semi-productive during my shows, I went and bought arts and crafts to make a Fall Wreath :)  (the one below is not the one I made....but it is close to it)
  • Played rock band with Chad (my brother), Tanner, Nigel, Patrick, and Adam.  It was epic!



The purposeful things I have done is:
  • Hung out with my friends: Alexis, Britney, Shalie, Michele, and MaryBeth.  So glad they kept me preoccupied.  
  • Finish up a class for MBA (wrote a paper and finished a test)
  • Tried to stay focused at work and finish up a project
  • Ran three miles
  • Cleaned the house
So all in all I have stayed pretty busy.  I hear that is the key so I guess I'll just have to keep at it and stay away from chick flicks for a year.  Before I know it a year will fly on by!  People also told me that I will have a new appreciation for Josh after this year is over.  Well I can already say that that is true!  I already hate doing the bills, trying to fix "gadgets", monitoring my own car, guarding the house (yes i have a gun near my bed for safety), checking the mail....how did I manage before I met Josh lol.  And how do guys know so much about gadgets.  Josh has been gone for one week and seriously 20 things have broken this week...this man job is hard for a tiny woman.  But on the plus side, I have learned to change a lightbulb :)  Josh would be so proud!
