|---|
Ryan is so cute and so nice looking... but in the mornings, living with a man drives me crazy, because he is anything but.
Right now the poor guy has his allergies going, so his morning ritual has worsened (for me).
He gets up, and proceeds to blow his nose much like an elephant. No, really... That's what it sounds like. That's a normal part of the morning.
Then he sneezes about 10 times, to which he blows his nose at the same time (you know how you can sneeze thru your mouth or thru your nose kind of thing?) into the sink. This is an added part of the morning due to his allergies.
He washes it down with water, but sometimes, just sometimes, there's a little something left over that I get to clean.
Then he brushes his teeth, and stick brushes the back of his tongue. Well, he has a pretty strong gag relfex, so in order to gag himself he coughs while he's brushing the back of his toungue. It sounds like an incredibly loud dose of vomiting. This is also a normal part of the morning.
And all of this happens at 5:15am when he wakes up for work... While I'm still trying to sleep. I'm considering waking up at 4am and moving to the guest bedroom.
But man, I love him anyway. He went out yesterday and mowed the entire lawn (front, back, and back-back) and trimmed. It took him like 3 hours... and all the while his allergies were just terrible. But, he did it anyway, cause he's a good man.
We have a guy coming to look at the del Sol today. We're thinking he's going to buy it. He sounds like he's been looking for this for a while (like Ryan did when he bought it). He has asked all the right questions that are del Sol specific. I think he and Ryan will get along, lol
Ryan's parents came over yesterday... We have been alternating (for the last 3 times, anyway, lol) between them coming here, us going there, them coming here, etc... Since it's a 2 hour drive. I think we've seen them maybe every 3 - 4 weeks? Anyway, it's so nice to see them. Everytime they come there's something different with our house.
So, Ryan wanted me to clean before they go there. So, I did... But what I loved is that there wasn't much to do! My house is SO clean cause I am SO awesome! :-D Cause I have a weekly schedule that I keep to, so everything always gets done.
Ryan's credit card was declined twice on Friday, so we called USAA to find out what the deal was, cause there's plenty of available credit. Anyway, as it turns out, I had forgot to pay the bill of $25 that was due on May 11th. Well, fine! The USAA CC (we have two) bills don't even come once a month... it's like very 2 - 3 months, it's a really weird system which I have not figured out. I just wish it would come once a month so that I can have it on my list of bills to pay once a month.
Anyway, Ryan gets off the phone and proceeds to tell me how I need to pay bills. And I have this look on my face like, "You have got to be kidding me." So he says, "What? What's wrong?" And I say, "Look, I have been paying bills flawlessy for the past 3.5 years. You never even see them. And I make ONE mistake, and now you give me a lecture on how to pay them?" So, he said he was sorry, and that he shouldn't have done that. That was sweet :-) That is just one thing that I do really well (pay bills, organize bills, manage money, etc.) and that's what I do... he works and makes money and I put his money where it needs to go... And if I were to all of a sudden turn it over to him, he would be dead. That's my skill -- my specialty. And I like it, cause it involves money :-) |
