and then there was the time...

that i got an eye infection that last for like a freaking month and i got an allergic reaction to the medication and turned into will smith in hitch.

then proceeded to get a stye. yeah...took a month to be able to wear make-up and contacts. best month of my life.

riverdogs..what. what.

a couple weeks ago ryan's family got some sweet box seat tickets from a family friend to the charleston riverdogs game. minor league baseball. i always forget how much i love going to baseball games. some of the best past times in SD were padre games at qualcomm stadium.
bonus: we won.


and i also proceeded to get hit on by some college frat boy while ryan was in the bathroom.
frat boy: "you waitin' for your friends?"
me: "my husband."
frat boy: "oh..yeah..i'm just waitin' for my two girlfriends..you'd think they'd be quicker in there."
me: nodding awkwardly
guy: "so..what do you do? where'd you go to school?"
buddy..i'm waiting for my husband. did you not catch that part?
finally ryan came.
of course, i was flattered.

oh, no. it was coming up again. word vomit.

okay. i feel a rant coming on. i just can't keep it inside anymore. it's like word vomit.(mean girls..you can google it) SO my friends, overt you eyes if you feels like this could be awkward or painful or negative or uncomfortable or upsetting...or all of the above.

you have been warned.

we'll start with an easy one...
number 1: last minute people. the inconsiderates, so to speak. you know the type. the ones who walk all over you because you're too nice to say no. so they never think or plan ahead until the last minute to ask a favor of you. and they have no problem asking you because they know you'll do it. they don't worry because that's the kind of person you are. that's just how you were raised. so you get taken advantage of over and over again. well. right here, right now, i say no. it stops now.
number 2: when people ask questions or make comments about anything pertaining to pregnancy. if you're pregnant, when you are going to get pregnant, if you can get pregnant. whatever the question...word to the wise..it's never polite to ask these questions.
i'm not sure why it's such a sore spot..maybe its the fact that i know many people who have difficulty getting pregnant or maybe its the fact that everyone and their mom is getting pregnant right now. or maybe its the fact that ryan and i aren't so the incessant questioning is repetitive and frustrating. so for all of you who may be wondering, "it's been almost three years..where's the baby ryan and mindy?" i'm sure grandma would like to know too, but she doesn't ask. maybe it'll be another three years. i promise..when it happens..you'll know.
number 3:  i thought i had a third, but i suppose it's just these two...for today.

i've said my piece. thank you.

takes money to make money

how true that is. ryan and i just took out our first loan. scary. everyone's exciting first though must be..is it a home loan? sadly..no. it is a small business loan. we've gotta make the money first to get the house. but we're still very excited! after months of deliberation about what business ryan was going to get into he finally made his decision.

after being debt free our entire lives..we're finally joining the real world. wish us luck!
