Most people seem to hate Mondays, and so I’ve decided to make Monday
about love. Every Monday will be a different reason I love my husband.
I love you because you are always willing to just hold me.

What I've been up to
Stephanie from Montana came and stayed the night with me on the 16th. She was on her way to see her grandma in California who isn't doing too well. It was a short night, but we got to catch up in person. It was fun!
She came back on the 24th, but didn't stay with me because they were on a different schedule on the way back. She did stop and have lunch with me though, and we went to Olive Garden.
Sunday the 25th was Steve's and my 3 year anniversary. We spent the day just being us. We don't see each other very much anymore because of work so it was good to spend a whole day together. We also tried a new (to us) restaurant, Famous Dave's. I'm sure you've heard of it. Most people have and most people really like it. It was pretty good, but we won't frequent it.
On Tuesday, I started feeling a cold/flu coming on. My throat was dry and itchy. Wednesday, I was miserable with a fever and exhaustion so I went home after 2 1/2 hours at work. Thursday I was still pretty miserable, but feeling a little better so I went to work. Friday, I was off so I slept a lot but the fever and exhaustion was back. I went to work Saturday because I couldn't afford not to. Sunday I was off again and slept a lot. And I called in yesterday. This cold/flu has been awful! I normally just get the sinus/nasal congestion followed by the cough and sometimes a fever. I never get the exhaustion, or the chills and fever alternating, or the lack of strength. It's been a rough week. I'm still tired, but I'm on the mend and will be able to return to work tonight.
I hate calling in. I hate leaving early (unless asked to). I hate being unreliable. I know I need to take care of myself in these situations but I always feel bad/guilty. I don't like knowing that someone has to do my work because I'm not there. They didn't replace me last night, and so the girl I normally close with on Mondays was alone. And Monday night is a busy night of task work for her because we change out the bestsellers, and today she posted that last night was horrible. So now I feel even worse. I pride myself on being dependable and always showing up for work. Let's just hope that I stay on schedule with my colds and don't get another until January.

Blogs in general
I only read about 10 blogs... mostly because I'm still searching for
good ones that aren't all about the kiddos. (I don't have kids yet.)
I want to read blogs about marriage and their day to day lives. But not blogs about marriage that are all preachy and crap. Not blogs that are 100% positive and happy. I don't want to read blogs that are all negative either. Then it's like, "well then why the heck did you marry this guy?"
I like to read blogs that include the good, the bad and the in-between. It makes me feel like I'm normal, and shows me that I'm not the only one going through the stuff that I do. Other people have been there before. It can put things in perspective for me.
Now there are a few that I read that are a step or two ahead of me in life - such as husband already in the military, or already starting to have children. I still enjoy them even though we're not in the same place because I learn from them. I get ideas from them. I store the things they say in my memory for later use when I DO get to that point. Marriage Confessions is a great example! I stay away though if the majority of posts are about the children. I still don't really like children, and really don't want to look at a million pictures of a child I don't know, or read about their first time rolling over. Now and then is okay by me, though.
I don't enjoy specific blogs like crafting, DIY, gadgets, whatever. It's boring to me and there are usually more things I would never even want to do than there are things that I like and might consider doing. So that's why I like the general life blogs.
Now I just need to find more that update regularly, even if only once a week like me. Oops.
