Life after the big events

Now that the wedding, reception and honeymoon are last weeks history, life is nice. We got a fridge last week when we got back from the honeymoon. Owning a big appliance really makes me feel like a grown up. Only two more things that could make me feel like a full fledged adult and that would be having kids and owning a home. And no i'm not pregnant so dont bother to ask-ever, ok? I'll let you know when it happens:) So my days as a housewife are grand. I am my own boss which is how i like it. I'm up before eight am and do some kind of cleaning each day-why do all the chores in a full day if you dont have too? Like today, i vacuumed. Tomorrow i do the bathroom, next day is laundry-which by the way is and all day event with taking the dirty clothes down to the machine then hanging them to dry then checking on them an hour later to see who is dry and who needs more time on the line. Another part of my day is exercise-i still have more weightloss goals to accomplish. Another part is something i like to call kitchen creation time. Yesterday, i created a freaking yummy african chick pea stew with ugali-its like polenta but better. They call it pup here. My husband was so impressed with how great the pup turned out. But really, everything i make he says that is his favorite. And a very moist banana chocolate chip bread. Also i take some time to learn something each day. I really need to get going with some kind of gardening soon-i'm chomping at the bit on that one. Tonight we are going to another couples house for dinner and FHE. Lastly, i got a calling yesterday-first councillor in primary. Lately, i'm always called to primary. Clearly something i need to learn. Probably patience as there are a couple kids who act like they have ADD, which is a frustrating challenge for me. But i guess i better learn quick or i'll forever be in primary.

Ps. There is a crazy lady who lives up stairs. She will spend a whole day yelling and swearing and arguing at nobody and she slams on the floor alot. And she takes a moment to let the word die in one steady scream. Her face looks like its been thru years of hard drugs. And she sweeps random things off her balcony.
