i disappeared from blogland. here's what happened to me:
sept. 26th jared asked me to marry him
sept. 28th we picked nov. 29th as our wedding date
began frantic wedding planning
oct. 31st i quit pharmacy fabuloso
nov. 7th moved all of my possessions to florida with the help of my parents, my dad's truck, and my aunt's horse trailer. this included moving a 125 year old upright piano.
nov. 11th returned to pittsburgh with only a suitcase and an air mattress to sustain me while planning a wedding in nine weeks
asked myself "where is/are my....ruler/pins/stamps/sewing supplies/orange crocs/favorite socks/polka dot underwear (ok i made that last one up because it rhymed...ish)"
answered myself "it's in florida"
sighed.
wondered why i moved all of my stuff to florida so many weeks ahead of the wedding.
cursed my air mattress.
cursed clothing that was in suitcase.
wished for orange crocs.
somehow managed to not only cook a thanksgiving dinner but also host six guests at my apartment in pittsburgh for thanksgiving (stuffing from scratch! three kinds of pie and my first attempt at a turkey!)
nov. 29th got married!!
went to portland, oregan on a fantastic honeymoon trip.
dec. 7th arrived in florida
christmas with the in-laws
new years with my family in NY
and here i am at home. it's 2:06pm and i confess that today i have eaten poptarts and ice cream. darn it. must go find soup. also i have not showered yet. also i'm still in my pj's. but i did: sort the laundry, mop the bathroom floor, kitchen, and laundry room, washed two loads of laundry, started sorting my craft supplies, scrubbed the tub, unpacked my suitcase, fed the cat, made the cat a bed under the table out of an old sheet (if i can keep him from shedding all over my house then this will have worked).
on the to-do list:
finish laundry
take shower
sort linen closet (pros: i have a linen closet, it smells like a cherry candle jared put in there a long time ago) (cons: it's a mess, i have too many sheets, there aren't enough shelves)
make titus chicken for dinner
and now i present the pros and cons of staying at home and practicing housewifery.
pros:
i can make a huge mess while sorting things and no one cares
i can work on 43243243 projects at once and no one cares
verizon wireless
ice cream for breakfast
showering whenever i feel like it
if i felt like it i could walk to the gulf of mexico (i haven't actually done so...i get lost in projects at home all day and then it's too late and it's dark out when i think of it)
cooking amazing dinners
baking!
anticipating jared arriving home from work
cons:
the only one that listens when i talk is the cat
i don't have a car
or a bike
i don't get out much
the cat sheds a lot
waiting for jared to get home from work
i won't be home forever. here's the plan:
buy car
apartment hunt
move
reorganize new apartment
find job
return to work

Joy! (Hey, that's my name!) You're back!
Also, I am confused about how "Polka dot underwear" rhymed with ANYTHING on your list. I read it several times and couldn't even get a near rhyme out of it. ;)
I still love ya, though!
