Maybe it's because my life isn't very interesting right now?
Let's see...what's going on in thie ficklebirds' life at the mo -
WELL - I have recently acquired the title "house owner". Now, I say house owner loosely, and with very much emphasis on house rather than home owner; this house is merely an investment and not for me to make a go at living in. And I say recently acquired because buying a house is strange...specially when the money comes from no where. Not really no where...but unfortunately people sometimes pass away, and fortunately they leave you things - or, in my case, leave your husband things; your husband who decides that buying a house is the way to go! I have to agree, as I really don't feel like I have anything to do with this money, even though he insists I do - I suppose just as I would if I was in his situation. Anyway - we get this money, we buy a house, we rip down walls. Well...again, he rips down walls - I've just finished writing some ACE new ads for my 'prostate-cancer-awareness' campaign, and doing my nails, so ripping down walls isn't really in my agenda for the day. Although, suggesting wall colours, floor tile-styles, and cooker hoods can definitely fit in.
So we've magic'ed up this house, and his life is now consumed with it - is it bad to say I'm stoked? Well...either way, I'm saying it - no, I'm shouting it - WOOHOO! It's not that I don't like spending time with my lovely man - I adore to, it's just that....again is it bad to say?....I enjoy having him be so inspired, excited and in love with what he's doing, as I am. I love the idea making and creation of Ads and other fashionable/artistic outlets, and he loves tearing down a wall or two - either way, we're both on a pretty great high right now. And having nothing to say at the end of the day because we're so bugger0ing-ly tired from doing things we love at the end of the day is MILES better than having nothing to say because we've both just had the most boring days of our lives. Hang on - I just have to take this teeth-whitening mouth guard out...gross, i know.
So - that was a total waste of time. They're not even whiter! ...well, it was only the first time I've tried. We'll see. Why do I buy into all this bullshit? I have one answer; ...actually I have a few...but the one I'm going to use is winter. I know, boring, but it's true - winter in England is not what it SHOULD be. I say should because I'm an ex-Western Canada liver....and I miss it so. Winter in England is grey, wet, and turns my skin slighlty opaque and yellowy. Therefore I feel the need to whiten my teeth.....I dunno..it made sense at the time.
Anyway - we've bought a house, ripped down it's innerds and will shortly be putting them back together. My husband has also informed me that he doesn't want to follow his career in the Mental Health sector anymore, and would prefer to buy and sell cars and houses. So. Instead of a could-be-Doctor for a husband, I now have a used-car-salesman for a husband. Breathe. And instead of continuing to save for our trip back to Vancouver this summer, we're going to use it all to buy wall-building supplies, because we've decided to knock down walls. Breathe deeper. And now because I'm a fully able-to-drive-with-full-license-adult however have lived in the UK for over a year, I have to take a driving exam and can't drive until I do. Breathe deeper. And my teeth aren't white enough. Breathing stops! AAACCHHGGKKK!!
But! - it's okay. Seriously. I'm actually okay with this. Because these are the times I (crazy I know) have waited for, and knew were coming. These are the things I watched my parents do, and I admired them for it - maybe not at the time when I was being fed lentels and carab, and wearing a retainer, and moving, etc - but later, when I was able to look back and appreciate my health, etc. These are the things I saw flashing before my eyes when I said "I do"....and I still do. Even if I must sacrifice the 2011 Jimmy Choo handbag that I've been anticipating - I'm a student, I shouldn't be indulging in these fantasies anyway! ....at least not where Will can see them......I do have hidden closet space.
Anyway - a certain someone made my life complete again when she flew in and out of my life for a beautiful week - Nana! That legend. We drank wine, at fish 'n chips and talked till 2am. It was perfect. And now she's back in Vancouver with the rest of the fam, and I was wishing I was there - although, knowing that this is where I need to be right now, and I'm going to enjoy it thouroughly. Having her here was such a nice reminder that they're always there - just 3,000 miles away - but that's nothing in reality.
So, maybe my life really is too boring to have a blog for - or maybe I'm just too busy to write one :)
I am going to give this a go - it's nice to vent to a neutral source! And it feels slightly gutsy to reveal it to the world.....the 'world' being this mass of people who don't really know me, sure it makes it slightly easier, but still ;)
Big Love Blog world - I've got walls to knock down! Or....walls to watch be knocked down. x
