Another long absence.

So quick blog update because I haven’t posted in ages!  Dan and I are renewing our vows, or as a co-worker put it, getting re-married.  Dan was super sweet and proposed to me just before Christmas after I had gotten home from a concert.  It was way sweet and now I am full and headlong into planning mode and I love it. 

I’ve always liked being in charge and cane seem to delegate pretty well.  I like giving other people’s jobs and have them do their best to bring something together.   Though with my wedding, I’m like super control freak, but I realize that’s going to drive me nuts so after much anxiety I relinquished the decorating and setting up of the reception hall to my good friend Lee Anne.  She’ll get everything up and going on my big day, while all the ladies go get pampered. I will also send the guys to go and be her minions, something that she is very excited about. 

Then just this last week my maid of honor, ok technically Matron cause she just got married but it’s all the same to me, found out she is pregnant and is due late September.  I’m way excited for her, and she is going to be waddling down the isle and I think that is the cutest thing in the world.  I’m going to dress her all up. Hehheheh

So I will have to throw her a baby shower because it’s been 6years since her last one, and it’s the first one of her new family, so that makes me excited as I get to plan that.  Some of you, the whole 5 people who read this, will say “But Kat shouldn’t her Mom do something like this?”  Her mom is not really into doing stuff like this, and is busy with her own life.  She has a sister, but she’s way out in Colorado or something like that, and couldn’t manage to make it back for her wedding, so I doubt she would do something like this too.

Then my rescue, Paws for the Cause Feral Cat Rescue, has basically relocated from Texas to Michigan and we are in need of supplies and food for the ferals, and any other animals in need that we come across.  So we are planning a fundraiser, and I’m spearheading that.  My director’s job is to get everyone there, my job is to get everything together. 

So yes, I’m a planning fool and I love each and every minute of it, I would go into my own if I had the guts too, but I don’t.   Maybe I do, I need to look into getting a license and doing some minimal advertising, perhaps more than just putting my name on craigslist.

I had a hysterectomy since the last time I posted, I should’ve posted about that, and the experience that goes with it.  The hardest part since I lost my uterus is not being able to keep track of when my girlie time is.  “But Kat you don’t have periods anymore, why would you have a girlie time?”  The thing is I kept my ovaries so I don’t go into early menopause, which means I still have my monthly cycle, just really hard to keep track of it now, and I turn into an emotional rollercoaster sometimes.   Though yesterday could be due to the fact that I’m planning 3 parties all at the same time.

It started off, I got mad at Dan because he washed my sweater, and then work was rough, and I came home and Dan had done more laundry, and thrown away the junk mail before I had time to look at it.   It wasn’t good, there were multiple times I yelled at him yesterday about the silliest things.  Lee Anne said, “I’m surprised he didn’t try to smother you”  This was in reference that I told her that Dan and I agreed on something but I continued to argue because I just wanted him to say something specific and he wouldn’t. 

Eventually we went to bed still P.Oed at each other, and Dan was still mad the next morning, and I was still an emotional wreck, but after much much talking, we agreed ok, we’re nit-picking on some things and it’s bothering us.  Time to call in a pro to figure out what’s going on.  Even after we decided, Dan had to really convince me because I do not like talking about some things with anyone but Dan, we still talked and parted on good terms.   We decided I need to stop comparing myself to everyone else and just be my own person darnit, and Dan needs to communicate better. 

Part of my little bit of self therapy is doing my blog again.  It’s good to just get my thoughts out there, even though the only people that read this is like 5 people.  Dan, his ex wife, my best friend, and maybe one or two people that are friends with me on facebook.   Yeah, exciting life I lead.  

Which reminds me, my friend Lee Anne, waaaaay better story teller than I am, and I told her she needs to make a blog.   So comment on here and tell her to make a blog and I can show her and say… here other people think you should make a blog too.
