Why do I feel like a bad girl?
I know we are not supposed to make any big purchases right now, so perhaps that is why I freak out a little. We bought a Kirby last night. Anyone who has seen this thing demonstrated knows how great they are. I can't wait to use it! The guy already used it to shampoo my carpet in the front room last night, and the thing is just awesome. I have wanted this thing for like four years now - ever since Josh and Natalie bought one. Using one of those Wal-Mart vaccums is just such a waste of time when you could have one of these things, and I think we can handle it right now. They gave us ninety days same as cash - they won't touch our credit until the ninety days is over - and we intend to pay it off in escrow.
Today I had some fun running Two's and Three's and nursery in the same place. Tonia was out, so it was Jeniece mostly handling the toddlers. The pastors don't like the idea of a teen running the toddlers' class, so I sorta helped out. Then, on the other side, Jamie and Chris ran the baby nursery. Neither of them have done their fingerprinting yet, so Christa and Don thought it would be a good idea for me to hang out in there also. Basically, I was running back and forth between the two rooms supervising. It was sorta weird that I got to train the couple because Wendy hadn't done it already (which is not normal for Wendy - she usually makes sure that everyone is well-prepared). I was not supposed to be in the nursery at all, but I don't mind helping out. I was glad that I was able to get things running smoothly. I am also not supposed to be in nursery for the next few months. September is my next month on and I will be delivering that month, so I won't be scheduled. But since Angie is having a hard time taking over the nursery, I am going to help one week in July and two weeks in August. I also volunteered to do any other little tasks around there that she needed.
I think I have been reading too much of 1001 Ways To Be Romantic. You know, I love the idea of having a "romance", and it wouldn't be hard for Blaine and I to start having a relationship like that. That book is so full of ideas for even the most anti-romantic person in the world. I want to have a talk with him about it because I have been feeling rather ignored again lately. It's like we really don't even talk much anymore. I do my job (being the mommy, paying the bills and cleaning the house), and he does his. When he comes home, we usually have dinner together and then go our separate ways. Next time I see him is sometimes when we go to bed at the same time. It's sort of depressing when I think about it. We aren't really having any problems right now, we just have so much going on that we don't talk or "romance" each other much. Sometimes I don't even get a kiss from him for days and days on end. Really, I don't expect him to turn into some kind of Cassanova. I know that it is also my job to make sure that our relationship continues to be special in everything we do. But I would really be thrilled if one day he would just come up with a romatic gesture out of nowhere. Perhaps if we have a talk and I get the ball rolling, things will fall into place. I know he hears me, but it is really hard for him to stick to any kind of schedule. Is an organizer a very unromantic gift? Or maybe even a put-down? Because I really think he could use one...
I have a lot of photo editing to do from that wedding, and I need to get started on it today. Problem is that I really don't want to do it while sitting at the computer - I would rather do it on the couch while at the laptop. I will have to have Blaine install Photoshop to his new "image" on his laptop tonight. I am just a little worried about editing without having my monitors configured, but I guess that I can do what works and re-do anything that I guessed wrong on. Mostly I am worried about some of the colors of light that were in the room the reception was held in. I could rely on auto color, but that isn't always completely dependable. How annoying. I should buy the proper tool to configure my monitors very soon - the color will be completely off without it.
