moving along

So, I haven't posted anything in a while. Truth is I have not had much time. Since my last post life has gone into over drive. Valentines Day was wonderful. Indiana and I spent it at home. I surprised him with the house lit with a crap ton of candles and pizza! I even had candles in the bathroom with a bubble bath ready. It was a very memorable one. It just comes to show that you don't need those extravagant surprises because love doesn't have a price. Needless to say he loved it and I think it was one if his favorites so far. I know if was one of mine! I surprised him with a little photo album with photos of me. I know that sounds very narcissistic. But, I have lost allot of weight in the past couple months and have been feeling really good about myself so my sis dolled me up with makeup and different outfits to take pretty photos to give to the hubby. He loved it!! Yay me!
His gift to me was amazing and a total surprise. He got me a beautiful diamond necklace. But he has been so busy with work he totally surprised me with it. I thought he really just wouldn't have time. But like always he makes me speechless.
I have also started my new job this week. I don't have much work yet but this place is amazing. Everyone is so unbelievably nice and welcoming. It is a breath of fresh air! I work in the marketing department so the atmosphere is very creative and fun! I couldn't have asked for better or nicer co workers. And the best part is!!!! One of my long time childhood friends works with me!! In the same department! How awesome is that?
We have a holiday next week which is awesome! 5 days off! Indiana and I are thinking to maybe sneak away to Thailand or Bahrain or something. But in the end I would be perfectly happy spending it at home with him. Maybe we can go camping or get out boat running! Summer is in fact almost here and I am ready to get my tan on!!! (as much as my white ass can tan)
Well now that I have gotten my writing fix, I hope everyone has a great week and awesome long weekend!!!
Lots of love! xox

The Key to a Good Nights Sleep

So what have  I learned about sleep? Well I have learned that without my husband it is impossible! It is funny the hard thing to do was getting used to sleeping with someone and then once that is accomplished...I CAN NOT SLEEP ALONE ANYMORE. So, needless to say, I am super happy my hubby is home and I am sleeping like a baby. Well...almost like a baby.
Point number two about the key to sleeping well. Your mattress! Without a good mattress you do not sleep well. If you really think about it, your mattress is the most important item to have in your house. A good nights sleep effects everything. Needless to say, a bad night sleep has just as much effect on your day.
We have had the mattress from hell episode. Our mattress is too small for our queen sized bed. I would say it is a double sized mattress on a queen sized bed. I often get my hand stuck between the boards. Or, I fall off! We have needed a bigger mattress for almost three years!!! We just could never justify the prices Ikea's mattresses are. So, we have held off for a while, a long while. The other problem is Ikea mattresses are not standard size!!! So it is really hard to find a mattress anywhere else but IKEA!!! Go figure. However, today I drove into Farwaniya (the area Sears is in) and found a mattress place! What is even better!!!! They had my size!!! and......It was only KD 77!!!! I would prefer the super soft mattress but they will have to order it and I will have to wait. I don't like to wait. So I settled for the harder mattress which my hubby will be pleased with. End of my story, my new mattress will be delivered tomorrow morning! Delivery is for free as well!!!
I am one happy girl!!!!!!!!! Peace out people! xox

I found my PINK CUP!

So we all know that socks will always disappear into the washing machine and you are doomed to mismatch your socks at some point. I have also found that dishes also disappear into the great abyss. I no longer have a full set of glasses. Now I understand glasses break but what has really baffled my mind lately is who I have lost a plastic pink cup. I couple months ago a bought a set of colored plastic cups to avoid the breaking glasses. However, my pink cup decided to run away. It has really annoyed me because I know it didn't break! I am very OCD by the by and this has been driving me nuts!
So, tonight my sister invited me over to have dinner with my her kids and my mom. All of the sudden I notice my sister was drinking out of a PINK plastic cup! So being so OCD , I took the cup and feel complete that my set is whole again!
You know some people don't know how bad OCD can actually be. It can take over your life. I believe I have gotten mine under control. But my downfalls are odd numbers, crooked picture frames and things out of place. I cant eat skittles without dividing them into their color groups first, I need to eat the skin off of grapes before I eat the grape and my spring cleaning is more frequent then most peoples. But OCD has its pros. For one I am a very organized person and my house is usually spotless. I have a great memory so I hardly forget events. I do carry a calendar and have one on my wall at home so there is no room for forgetting. MY husband is very supportive of it. He makes fun of me from time to time but doesn't try to "fix" me. He doesn't make me feel broken which I believe have helped me grow and loss some of my crazy hehe. I am so lucky to have a supportive family. I wouldn't be able to function without them. I am one lucky girl.
Checking out for the night. xox

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Well I just got home after dropping the hubby off at the airport. He is off again on one of his business trips. For some couples we know, it looks so easy for them. Some couples even look forward to when one of them have to fly off somewhere. They look at it as a break or something. That concept is very foreign to me. Indiana is not just my husband but he is my best friend. We hate being away from each other. It is miserable. IT DOES NOT GET EASIER!!! Every time he goes away it get worse and worse. So for the next week I will be one lonely lil missy.
I try my hardest to find a silver lining. So this time, my silver lining is; I will take this time to myself to fully sort out the wreck room. That way when he comes home there is a surprise waiting for him!!! There you go! Silver lining.
Not a long post today but if I carry on, with my mood, I will put Gone with the Wind to shame.
Good Night my friends....
