Wow, I haven’t written a blog since JUNE…JUNE! That’s over 6 months of blogging that I was
too lazy to do. Yes, I admit, I was
LAZY! And my job’s web browser was outdated so I couldn’t post, but could
comment on others’ blogs…weird huh? Well, I got a new computer at work! So
here’s to catch you up a bit:
In June/July I got a very close friend/co-worker into
couponing! Her and I went out a lot over
the summer to the stores, but since it’s been cold now that it’s winter time
and we are bombarded at work, we haven’t had the time much to go out, bummer. But I need to start getting back on track big
time with my couponing since I haven’t really gone to the stores much so I’m
assuming in the next few weeks we will be going back out and hounding for some
awesome deals!
I have also dealt with some other personal issues dealing
with one friend in particular. He was my
best friend and I called him my second husband and he called me his wife (don’t
get the wrong idea people!!!!!!). He was
always over my house hanging out or fixing things or what not. He and DH also got along well too, so we were
like the Three Musketeers. We had some
rocky situations in our past, but we have gotten over them. However, in the summer, he started to really
change. He’s like Jekyll and Hyde
almost. One minute he would be yelling
at me, telling me off, calling me names, then the next minute he’s texting me
to go to Staples for him to pick something up.
I know he was stressed about a car thing he was going to, so I chocked
it up to that, but then he just became different. He started hanging out with some new people
and changed. He also got mad at me in
public and actually yelled at me in front of DH, and my friend and her husband,
for no reason other then him being childish.
He also got mad at me when I went on vacation with DH and my friend and
her husband came to visit us for two days while on vacation. He even defriended me on Facebook b/c I
didn’t text him the entire time I was on vacation. Which I did, but his phone
sucks, literally, and he never got the texts.
So stupid stuff. But the kicker was in Oct when DH and I told him
something so private that nobody else really knew and he flipped out, big
time. For no reason. I’m glad my brother in law was there, b/c DH
and him almost got into a fist fight, it was that bad. And anyone that knows my
DH knows that he is the even-tempered one, I’m the fighter. So it’s just stuff that I’m sitting back and
thinking about.
I haven’t completely ended
our friendship, I almost did, but I didn’t.
I have completely distanced myself from him and only talk via text or
email. We really don’t hang out anymore at all. So it’s a complete change for
me. When DH and I first got married, I
was okay not having a best friend around all the time. I had been burned in the past (by both best
friends that were boys and girls). I was
happy going to work, coming home, hanging out, hanging with Mr. Q (my coupon
binder) and that was all I needed. Then he came along, broke down my walls and
was there for me for every little thing, literally. A bug in the house and DH was at work (I’m
home alone for about 5-6 hours after work before DH gets home), call him, he’ll
kill it. Broken lightbulb? Call him,
he’d fix it. But now, I’m back to where I started. It’s definately a change, but it’s one for
the better in my eyes. I have a lot
going on and a lot to look forward to and don’t need to deal with that drama
anymore.
DH and I are busy fixing up our house after yet another tub
drain incident…it keeps backing up. So
finally someone came out and gave it a good cleaning, so we are going to redo
our main bathroom. The shower always had
a leak so DH’s friend’s brother is a contractor and he’s gonna do the whole
bathroom for us. We just have to pick out and buy what we want. My old Best friend will normally do all this
for us for free, but with everything that happened, as a husband and wife team
we decided this was for the best. It
hurts the wallet, but it’s for the best. So that’s fun. We are also redoing our
spare room finally. The floors were never level and we chalked it up to how the
house settled. WRONG. I ran into a
neighbor at Shop Rite and she said she had someone rip up the floors and the
subfloor that was put in when the condos were built were very cheap and crappy
and they pretty much deteriorated, causing the floor to slope around. We don’t
feel it as much in the rest of the house b/c it’s all carpeted. So, DH delivers to a flooring company who
said they would rip up the floor and redo it, and cheap too since he delivers
to them, so that’s good. I wanted to do
this before the new year. When the hurricane came, we were cleaning out the
room, then with everything going on, we just stopped…so now I need to get going
on that so they can come in and do the floors.
That’s pretty much it to get you caught up on everything
major. I will be posting another post with something BIG!
