Sharing

Over the last three weeks I have learned a very important lesson. Sharing is OVER RATED! Now I know what you are thinking, sharing is wonderful, we are taught to share to show ourselves that others are just as important as us and that by serving and sharing with others we learn many great and valuable lessons... Back to my original point Sharing is completely over rated, I shared my germs with Steven, and now he has my cold, that by the way lasted for three weeks. Since then Steven has shared his cold with first his niece Whitnee, and then My Dad. While our recent sharing has touched many people, i doubt that this was what they wanted or anticipated what was to follow from coming to see the two of us. Luckily my this new way of thinking only helps me right? Just kidding!!! I just thought that it was a clever way to tell you that I hate colds!

Art, Crap and Husband!

Steven has decided to make his own blog to showcase his art. So we would love if you would take a gander at it and tell Steven what you think!

Fun new events that have been going on in the Reimann home….

I have recently had a cold/flu, which really isn’t shocking my body likes me to pick up every little bug possible. I have recently learned from my love that when I am sick I am even more mean than normal; the most depressing thing about this is I haven’t even noticed that I am a pain to deal with.

So new goal when I am ill, try to be nicer to Steven…

But on the other hand, I called to make a doctor’s appointment this morning, can I just tell you speaking to medical office personal makes my blood boil! Besides who you are they want to know what is wrong with you… you tell them… and then they ask details like well do you have the flu or the swine flu? Well I don’t know Copernicus you tell me? I am coming to the doctor to find out what is wrong with me… Isn’t that typical? I could have the common cold, I could have the flu, I could have the swine flu, and I could have any number of things… That’s why I am coming to see the doctor in the first place. I work in a germ infested area, full of sick people! Sorry I rant a lot mostly because I am really irritable and haven’t been sleeping well.

On a Happier Note: Steven and I watch LA Link every week together, I love watching what people get inked, I am completely obsessed with looking at peoples ink, I stare, something I don’t normally condone, but I can’t help it, I love looking at peoples tat’s! So most weeks about half way through the show I have to pause it, so Steven can go and get his easel so he can paint! He is SO Talented! Every single time I look at his paintings I feel in awe of his creativity! His work simply amazes me! I have been working on a concept of a tribute on his work but I need to think of the right way to do!

We have created a Monster! We taught Zoey how to beg, by “sitting pretty” it is so adorable, which I am sure she knows, she now anytime she wants anything, form a treat, to share our food, our ice, our attention, to be picked up, she happily performs her little trick to get what she wants!

Well I need to go get ready to see the doctor… peace out…

Depressing? I think so!

So today, as with many of my days off I have these mighty plans of grandeur. Today I was going to paint the guest bathroom, (this task required me to go to home de-pot to buy some essential items), write two papers, go shopping (which requires me to go online and price match), fold laundry, clean the house, clean the fridge, have dinner ready when Steven got home, finish some of my new creative ideas, take Zoe for a run, Get Zoey Groomed, Ship the extra reciever that is in the box, back to DISH network and that list could seriously go on and on...

What actually happened today, I did paint the bathroom, and it looks fabulous, if only i had actually remembered to buy a new shower rod... everything is done except for paiting behind the toliet and hanging the new light fixture. (just a warning for those of you who live in the building, all of our light fixtures are off center in our bathrooms, and a stud just happens to be in the dead center, it is a purely joyful filling in the hole and making the new lights center.)

I took out the garbage and cleaned out the fridge and took the garbage out again.

I went shopping, after finding all my items in less than thrity minutes, i waited in line and then found the only cashier in walmart who didn't know how to price match, needless to say a lot of people behind me were pissed off.

Got home, called Steven, found out that we were going to go on a date instead of me cooking dinner. 60 dollars later and one of the best dinners, i seriously mean best dinners of my life we went and saw "The Proposal", I found it completely Hiliarious, but then again I like akward humor.

We got home at 12, and me being the big dork that I am, made Steven stay up with me and watch "So You Think You Can Dance" and "LA Ink"..... that brings us to about one thirty in the morning....

Steven goes to bed and I stay up to write my two papers... well I finished my first paper, three pages in and hour, i was feeling rather proud, thinking to myself look at me go, I am so smart and gosh i love to write.... Only to come to citing my references.... it seriously took me an hour and then some to correctly type MLA format citations...

How lame is that? I didn't accomplish hardly anything on my tasks of TO DO's... oh well this is life, and at least Steven drags me away so I don't ruin myself by doing task after task after task... which i have been known to do as of late. So thanks Honey! I am completely grateful that you spend time with me and love me enough to protect me from myself and my OCD tendecies, but next time please don't drive so close to those damn semi's.

So it is 4:17 in the morning I am going to try and sleep, because morning will come extremely soon.. So good night and good morning to some of you... have a great day, and I wish you a great today, tomorrow, and forever....

So my life gets busy and the last thing on my mind is remembering to blog. So well I am putting off doing my homework and going to sleep here are some things that have been going on recently in my world.

I bought a new, bigger book shelve last week, it is almost filled up, and my old one will be filled up as soon as I find the motivation to pull all of our other books out of storage. Nice huh?

I still have handed in all my English papers in on time, and am thrilled that I only have 5 more assignments to complete in this course!

Last week Kenzy came and stayed with Steven and me. She is such a riot I love her so much! Funny story about our time together, we went to The Proposal together and were the only ones in the theater that laughed out loud. I guess it is a good thing that both of us don’t care what people think of us, because that might have been hazardous on our health.

Kenzy and I did craft time, her paintings turned out to be completely awesome. I am so proud of her.

A couple of weeks ago my phone of three short months died, I now have a new phone, with a sweet cover that will hopefully protect it from me. Something completely tragic about this situation is I lost all of my numbers!! And my call schedule is in my phone so I know when I can plan trips and when I can’t, luckily for me Bre saved me this last weekend by taking my call. On a lighter note the new phone isn’t a touch screen, thank goodness, my last phone was a pain in the butt, I could hardly ever text or for that matter call people that I wanted too, because my phone wouldn’t corporate.

I made some really cool wedding shower invites for my friend Tania. Maybe I will import them onto the computer… or I will be lazy…

I finally finished my painting, so I could send it to Eric Littlewood. Thank goodness that is off my TO DO LIST.

I ran into an old friend’s mom today, and then spoke to my old friend for quite some time on the phone; I invited her and her husband over for dinner. I then wrote her number down, first mistake since I was talking to her on her mom’s phone, second mistake getting in the habit of throwing away my price matching ads on my way out of Wal-Mart. So even though I could have put her number directly into my phone, like an idiot I didn’t, and now I am back at square one.

I really need to finish painting my house.

I got my first cooking related burn today, I hope to never repeat that mistake or make another one that would yield the same result.

Ever since I read The Hunger Games: I have been getting hungry more often, weird huh? (The book has very little to do with the consumption of food, well the characters consume food, that isn’t the plot of the book.)

I love that Steven rubs my feet and back without me asking him, I also love that he texts me sweet nothings throughout the day…

We may buy a truck.

I need to start depleting items on the almighty to do list and stop adding items to said list.

I think that I am done ranting for tonight, I am sure that I left a ton out and I am sorry but I am only human and I make a lot of mistakes!

funny thing i just thought of, here are the things that i have written my papers on in English; the over consumption and dept of the US, That young adults in our country are to narcissistic, smoking indoors, needs to be banned world wide, and education about what second hand smoke does to its victims, and taking a realistic approach to sex education in our country. Aren't I the biggest freaking nerd or what?

Hmmm. I Hate Making Up Titles.

So this post has been in my mind for quite some time, and I was going to take pictures of everything that I wanted to write about and say a sentence about them, but since I am at work and bored stiff, and have never been good about taking pictures here it goes…

We recently purchased a new car, and I am absolutely and totally in love with it!!! The Subie or Boob-a-Roo, (depending on who you talk to) is a radical dark blue, and is the prefect car for Steven and me. Oh and we got a killer deal on it when we bought it, the cherry on top.

I have been obsessed with bargain shopping lately, I have found so many good deals and I am loving it, which is weird because typically I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping, because the whole crowd situation and annoying people prevent me from enjoying the experience.
Steven and I are half way done painting our condo, we love the color, it is crazy how a little bit of paint can transform a room. It’s beautiful, but I can’t seem to muster the motivation to finish taping and painting the rest of our home, weird huh?

Steven and I have started hiking on weekends and going on walks on my nights off, except the last two weeks have been hindered because of our lovely weather. I am not complaining I LOVE IT!!! Hiking is something that I have also enjoyed and I never knew that Steven also liked hiking, something that equals FABULOUS FUN!!! We actually have pictures of us hiking, amazing considering we never take pictures of ourselves, yet we have hundreds of pictures of nature and dead things (I love you babe).

I have started to paint for fun, I am not talented by any means but I find it quite enjoyable. I am currently working on finishing my fourth painting, hopefully this weekend I can find some time to finish it.

I am taking English 1010 online and am ahead on my assignments, I have to post this solely because genetically I am programmed to be a procrastinator.

We get to hang out with Jenny, Rand, Kam, Tim, Matt, Tori, and hopefully Lance and Kendra too. I am stoked It feels like I haven’t seen them in a million years. I am home sick for Rand and Jen and my Brad and Claire!!! I miss you guys!!!

We have been proud parents of our Zoe-Hoe for a Year! It is crazy how time flies. She is such a corky little monster. We love and Adore her, and are so happy that she is our ZOE!!!

I have been cooking a lot lately, and not just intsa-pasta, actual meals. It has actually been fun, I still have a panic attacks every once and a while but nothing like before. Thanks again Jen and Steven for being patient with me and teaching me pretty much everything I know.

Steven is the best ever, I have to share this little story with you because it is so damn cute!!! So I call stinky on my way home from work because I miss him, and he tells me and Zoey ate a sharpie on my couch. I was trying not to be mad because it was our fault for leaving out the marker. Well I get home and start looking at the sectional and nothing is wrong with it however there are some Oreos. Then down the hall Reece’s were scatter in a line to our guest bedroom. Then laying on the bed was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and a love note telling me to come into the bedroom because he had yet another surprise for me. When I walked into the bedroom I almost cried, he had painted me a beautiful picture in black and white and gray of trees and mist, it is absolutely glorious!!! And on the back he named it because I love you…. I have such an amazing husband each day I am with him I fall more and more madly in love with him.

So I am done for now, I would promise pictures but it most likely wont happen so no promises.
