What day.....is it?

Hey BLOG!

Let's just skip the weather report and the illustrations until I catch up....

On February 28, 2011 I had a very depressing day.  I almost did not post this in the blog because I find it to be so very embarrassing, but then I would not be honestly depicting our lives in NEVER NEVER LAND.   

A month straight of EATING. EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL. OUT. became very apparent as I put on one of my favorite pair of jeans and split the a** out in them.  It was particularly upsetting as my clothing supply is very limited as it is.  

What's even more amusing is the ONLY reason I was getting out of my pajamas was to go to the local Bakery and Meat Shop at LEGS' request.  I called him for moral support and instead was treated very poorly.  Here is the text I sent in retort:


" You know, you could be nicer to me when I call.  I'm doing the best I can with no car, no German, and no help. To top it all off I ran, did push ups and P90x Ab Ripper jut to rip the a** out in my already lame collection of jeans just to get your grumpy a** some meat and bread....yes I texted ALL this on this sh*tty F'IN phone SIR!"


Who says marriages are perfect? And who says transition is easy?  Not I.


I remember this day now because I wrote my Sister a letter and I recall doing so in a foul mood, and specifically complaining about LEGS' bad behavior.

On March 1, 2011.  LEGS and I woke up, while we were drinking our tea bag style Folgers coffee (yuck) I requested today's date for the purpose of writing in my journal.  

LEGS: Very casually checked his watch and said 'Its March 1st...'
ARMS: In my mind.....'Jesus......we both forgot today is my birthday....NICE...' Once the realization came to me I smiled.....
LEGS:'Why are you smiling?'
ARMS: 'Happy Birthday to me!'
LEGS:' Omigod....Happy Birthday Baby....I don't know how but I promise I will make this up to you.'
ARMS:' Its okay babe, I just mostly find it funny today is my birthday and we BOTH forgot.'

At this point I am wishing I had the luxury of the internet because I know many people have given me warm birthday wishes on facebook and that would be a great pick me up.

I had to go to the Doctor, when I weighed in at 152 lbs, I wanted to commit suicide....yes.....on my birthday......

My Birth DAY was a little sad, but my BIRTH NIGHT was made all better by going to a new friends house.  She had amazing food and I got to emotionally pork out.....
