So yesterday I was having a pretty crappy day. For many reasons I will not mention here, because I will be doing another post shortly about that. My self-confidence had really been shot. I was so tired from extreme lack of sleep lately. I was just feeling terrible. I texted the man at work and told him that I needed his undivided attention when he got home.
The poor man. He can never figure out the complexities of the opposite sex. At any rate, he was fine, but very quiet as I told him about my day/problems. He remained quiet because the poor bloke didn't know what to say. Well to remain quiet with me doesn't work out very well. I had to go run some errands, but before I left, I told the man, "I would have liked you to be a little more sensitive. Or just sensitive at all would be nice. And I hate asking for that." He was quiet, but just nodded his head.
When I got home, I elaborated to him about my day, and even drew him a diagram of my brain and how there are so many things that I have to focus on and think about that I don't feel like I can't concentrate on any one thing. I am frustrated and can't think straight or concentrate on anything. I am short-tempered and forgetfull.
Then this sweet man that I have been married to for more than ten years tried his hand at sensitivity in the only way he knows how: he took the page away from me and drew a pistol, a bazooka, and a tommy-gun "shooting" all my problems/worries away.
It was not the arm around my shoulder, or the quiet uh-huh-ing, or the big bear-hug that I was looking for, but it was something. Thank you the man for being everything to me. I love you and your guns!!!!!

Hey Jealousy
So I think I've decided that I am a jealous person. This is not a confession of what I want to be, or that I am proud of it, but just an observation that I am finally coming to terms with. If I see other girls that are beautiful, or if I envy the way they dress, etc... I start acting all funny, and feel like I have to compete with them. Automatically in my head I decide that I do not like this person, just because they have a better sense of style or have better looks, etc. I don't like that I do that, because the girls always turn out to be nice and fabulous girls. This is actually how I have made some of my best friends.
Well I have recently decided to venture out a little and see if I can't make a few extra $$$ doing something I love. I have refinished quite a few pieces of furniture for myself and my hubby. (The first of which was horrible- looking back on it). I just couldn't stop thinking about this, and I just love older furniture. It's got so much character, and it was all made so sturdy. It's a shame to see these great pieces being taken over by cheap "mdf and/or particleboard with staples" counterparts.
I had seen a few blogs where women had refinished furniture and sold it. So I guess I got to thinking that that was something maybe I could do too. But as you know by now, what with my honed procrastination skills, and lack of desire to actually finish projects that I start, I just now got around to making a blog, and actually will be finishing up my first piece this next week to put up for sale.
Anyway, there are like 22 blogs now that I have counted (and keep tabs on) that do the same thing just in northern Utah alone. This is where the jealousy comes in. Gggrrrrrr. They are all pretty amazing and awesome looking though! So anyway, I hope the market is not saturated yet, because I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Here is the site. My new site.
www.Refurbia.blogspot.com
Put it on the side of your blog, mark it, favorite it and frequent it often so that I might be a successfull business owner (and hopefully fulfill a goal to pay off our house in less than 10 years). I will definitely need the help of everyone I know to help spread the word. And even though I am insanely jealous of these other peoples wicked refinishing skills, I will still post them on the sidebar. We all need to stick together and help each other out. I'm hoping some good Karma may flow my way! But serously check some of them out. They are awesome. Thanks in advanced- and let me know if you want anything. Peace and Love!
