I will say it was nice to get a chance to go out without Adam and just have a nice conversation with another female. A chance to talk about all the trashy TV shows he hates for me to watch. Perhaps we'll do it again soon but I'm certainly opening myself up to the possibility of making new friends.
I've been spending a lot of time doing the house-wifey thing. Which I think I've taken to more than I expected but I will say, with just a dog and a husband to take care of, it's incredibly boring. Perhaps if we had children,I could really enjoy the role but for now, I need a little bit more. Really I need a life outside of this apartment. I spend my days looking for jobs, watching Netflix and reading books. Which strangely would have been enough for me in the past when I was hermit like and enjoyed nothing more than a good book and warm blanket. Oh and a glass of wine. One of the benefits of staying at home is that I have time to pursue other interests. I hope to get back into writing more, which I guess will start with this here little blog. I'm also starting to make some of the wonderful things I see on Pinterest. No point pinning things if I have no intention of making them. A couple weeks back I made this wreath inspired by one I saw on Pinterest:
I'm also determined to join the local gym. Adam and I both want to start getting healthy, leading healthy lives before we think about trying that whole baby making thing. Right now, we're still eating too much of the wrong thing and certainly not moving enough. We both have bad habits but for some reason, these bad habits seem to hang around my waist line more than his. Having Penny here means we are active, we take her for walks along the beach but if I'm serious about shifting the pounds, I need to do more. Hopefully this time next year I won't be saying the same thing.
