It's The Little Things

I love that when I think "aww where's tommy?" I suddenly get a really cute email or text from him. I love his "thinking of you" emails I get with pictures :-)

Generic...opening up?

I'm trying to make this blog almost more genaric than updating everyday about my life, because honestly, my daily life isn't all that exciting for the people that aren't involved. Also making this more genaric is preventing me from opening up on a public forum which is what I was trying to change. We'll see how this experiment goes, especially since not many people know about this blog yet.

Catch the bouquet

I went to my boss's wedding....reception yesterday afternoon. They didn't have a ceremony. They went down to city hall on May 30th and got hitched. They waited a month to have a lunch reception out on Lake Zurich. It was an awesome time and of course it kind of got me thinking about weddings, as it would for most people. To be honest, I've never really imagined my own wedding. I didn't really think someone would be able to tolerate being with me that long. Growing up, I never fantasized about my dream wedding or engagement ring or even husband for that matter. I remember a stint in grade school that I said I would never get married. Things do change when you get older and now I think I should think about what kind of wedding I want to have some day. For a little while I've thought about what kind of ring I'd like to get (this isn't implying anything at all, honestly) . I have searched around before online to look at rings and what I thought I would like. I also like rings and necklaces, which lead me to looking at engagement rings. I fell in love with this design. I've always been one for more detail and not to be plain. I absolutely love a decorated band, not just a basic plain one. I've always been one to lean towards a vintage or antique look. This probably comes from my fondness of tradition when the male gives his girlfriend his grandmother's ring or her grandmothers ring. I always thought this tradition was really sweet and something that should stick around. Sadly, most traditions lie, and some rings really are awful. One thing I have debated about with a ring is colored stones. I think I would love to have pink or green stones in my ring, but I like a traditional looking ring. I would also have to see it in person in order to decide if I like it. As for the wedding itself, I dont want a big one because really, who all would I invite that wouldn't be in my bridal party? I don't want that much of a traditional reception. I'll dance with my husband and that will be the only required dance. I don't want it to be stressful and I think planing out other things would be difficult.

I guess I've put more thought into my own wedding in the last few years. I was supposed to be married if things went according to plan, which they did not, which was better. Even then I never thought about the actual ceremony. I would def require our own vows to be written and them to he hilarious and heartfelt. And of course the most delicious and extravagant cake ever made. Maybe by Duff or even Bobby Flay ha.

I've been thinking about the over all concept of a marriage and everyone says it is always so hard. I don't really quite grasp what they could mean by that but I am definatly not one to say love will fix everything, I don't live in a fantasy(even though lately it does feel like it's too good to be true). Some people would consider it to be a contractual ball and chain, or just a piece of paper. I see it as more. You're combining lives together more than you have before. You have found your TRUE partner in crime and someone you can go to with anything no matter what. Yes, you should have friends that do that for you but if you really look at it, your partner is already there in the middle of the night if something happens, they're already there if you need a hug. Being able to share everything in your life with another person is just glorious. Some people say they never want to get married and things are fine they way they are. Everyone can believe what they want to, but look at it from another angle. Say something life threatening happens or maybe your partner dies, you might not be allowed in your own home or to your own things because you weren't married.

I feel like I'm just babbling now. I guess what I'm saying is get married, weddings are fun, spend your life with someone special.

Would I be considered a romantic now?

Review of Up

In addition to just seeing Transformers 2, Tommy and I also saw Up last week. it was def a cute movie. i find it amusing that it seems a lot of Pixar movies have a bit of adult humor in them. I really found this movie adorable. but it has come to my attention that i am pretty much a robot because i didn't cry at it. i'm sorry that movies just don't effect me like that. oh well. i loved all the animals in this movie and the banter between the main characters. i must say my favorite characters were Dug the talking dog and Kevin the bird. they were pretty funny. the dogs with collars that made them talk was hysterical and of course the under dog always comes in on top, pun intended. even if you're not into what you think is a kids movie, you should see this. it's super cute and i think everyone would enjoy it. it has really sad moments and hysterical moments. it really is a great movie with some twists.

Review of Transforms 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Tommy and I went to see the news Transformers movie because even though it's only been out a day, it seemed like we were the only people who hadn't seen it yet.

Now, i was never into the transformers when i was younger ( i was a TMNT kind of girl) but i must say these movies are AWESOME. i was a big fan of the first one, i would watch it over and over again. this one, i was not disappointed. i really enjoyed it. there was a super sad part that i would have cried at if i wasn't a robot (see next entry for that explanation). there was lots of action and lots going on, but not too much going on. i could care less what the critics say, i would def recommend seeing this movie. if you liked the first one, this is a good one. i think this one was a lot funnier and there was a lil more adult humor. so i def suggest if you haven't seen the first one, see that and see this one. i don't want to spoil anyting for those who havent seen it yet.

Well maybe you deserve it then..

Staying up late and watching "is she really going out with him?" makes your brain hurt and question so many things. also the bad music that is played on Mtv nowadays. In all reality, these girls, who really aren't that much of a prize themselves, possibly deserve better? i don't understand how people can spend their lives with these guys who are beyond awful and can justify to themselves that they're worth it. if you're getting treated like shit, why do you stay? what about this person do you feel you can spend so much time and effort on. you would think that if a girl's friends are constantly telling her that the boyfriend is awful, you'd think she'd take a hint and maybe re-evaluate where she is and going in life. also, you must look at the angle of 'is she really at that great herself?' and most of the time, they're really just as dumb as the guy they're dating. Of course, the girl is always the victim though, that's just how it works.

it really makes you think what's so wonderful about these guys that walk all over their girlfriends and somehow convince them to stay by their side. what does it take for a girl to walk away? why can't they wise up and really look at what's going on with their relationship? are they really that blinded by their world around them and directly effecting them? i'll be honest, i've dated my share of assholes, users and abusers but after awhile you wise up and discover the type of person you deserve to have.

i don't believe in spending yours days upset, furiated or frustrated with the person you love. enjoy the time you have with eachother, and if you don't or can't..move on! there's so many people i want to slap across the face because of the terrible guys they're dating.

if you're not getting the attention you deserve or at least a bit of attention, maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself and change your pattern.
