I would like to start posting on a more regular basis. I've found that my life isn't really any less interesting than other people's blogs that I envy (ThisBeautifulMess is a good example), but rather I simply don't bother going into the detail that they do. School has started again. I've got a bit of senioritis, as it is my last semester. I'm also getting that feeling of separation from about 2/3s of the people that I know, and a wishing that I would have gotten to know the other 1/3 better. Life is strange like that. You quite often end up spending a ton of time with people that you don't want to be with, making you so busy that you don't have time to spend it with the people that you do. I will probably soon drift into that poignant stage where I'm about as close as I ever get to depressed. I'm also thinking that it's probably not worth it for Val and I to really clean up our apartment (even though it drives me nuts), as we're still living out of some of our moving boxes from six months ago. We're getting to that stage where we have figured out the things that bug the crap out of each other, and still "let each other know," and have the naivete to think that it will change. I mean, come on. Everyone knows that you put cheese in the bottom right drawer of the refrigerator, and that not doing so is a mortal sin. Yet I keep finding it on the second shelf, or, heaven forbid, the first shelf next to the milk. It's not really that these thousands of minute things are huge deals in and of themselves, but rather that they build up, and when one comes home from the most hectic week of one's life, hoping to have a peaceful and quiet evening, and subsequently is unable to find the cheese, it is truly an issue of a straw breaking the camel's back. As a recent comedian lovingly put it (and as I do now):
The real issue with deciding whether or not to stay single is a matter of deciding whether you want to spend the rest of your life being lonely....or annoyed.
PostScript: I intended this post to be read with a smile, and a bit tongue-in-cheek. I love my wife dearly, and in no way meant to criticize her, but rather my own anal-retentiveness.

Do you remember the months before you married, when you and Val asked several of us who have been married a while the "secrets" of a long happy marriage? I believe we tried to explain some of these things, but probably didn't get the message across very well. It's really hard to explain to the soon to be married how the little things add up to big things. Communication (knowing when to and not to and how)is a big key. A sense of humor helps. Laughter is a good medicine. Of course the fruit of the Spirit are essential: Love,joy, peace,patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness,self-control.

I'm enjoying seeing you in this new stage of life (as I have through all the stages of your life)

Love, MOM

I am amazed that you never learned that the cheese goes in the center left drawer. The butter goes in the cabinet in the door, and the milk goes in the top shelf of the door.

I just wrote about the same thing on my blog a few days ago! Check it out! It's called "Changes"!

Justin and I have been married for a little over a year and we find ourselves getting to each other over the same things. I will say that after getting yelled at for loading the toilet paper the wrong way so many times, I have actually changed my ways and now it pulls from the top. At the end of an argument that seems to be over nothing I find myself saying, "What are we arguing about? I mean, what is the real issue here? Are we fighting about the fact that I didn't write the last check down in the check register RIGHT at the point of sale?" which we really did argue about one time, but what I mean is there is usually an underlying issue that is the heart of the matter. Try to find those things out, the rest is total dross. You'd be surprised how many people out there really get divorces over the fact that "he never picks up his socks off the floor!"
