YOU GUYS.
YOU GUYS!!!
After three painfully long weeks away– my husband FINALLY comes home tonight!! As you well know, he’s a college football coach. And they’ve all been seeing a lot of this lately…
Oh, recruiting season…
>>I confess that I didn’t mention that he’s been away on any social media because I didn’t want any of the murderers to know I was totally alone and take the opportunity to come and kill me. Legit, right?
>>I confess that the husband will come home to find me a little tanner (thanks, Jergins Natural Glow) and a little more broken (thanks, stress fracture).
>> I confess that there may be a few shoes randomly placed around the house. No, I’m not messy. With J being gone, I had to get brave enough to kill some spiders. The shoes mark their carcasses so J can get them when he gets home. I realize this is probably the grosses thing ever but I DON’T DO SPIDERS. And don’t lie. You do it too…just maybe not for 3 weeks.
>> I confess that I found some old comedian CDs (that my sweet late uncle burned for me when I was going off to college and terrified of the 5 hour drive alone) while digging my junk drawer. We’re totally busting those out for our 8 hour drive tomorrow!
>>I confess that I was sent a dress because I’m a blogger. And I was so excited because it was perfect for my brother in law’s wedding this Saturday. But instead I was left to frantically search my closet for any maxi dress that wasn’t super casual. Because boot. This is my life…
>> I confess that I think the idea of renting tuxes is the dumbest thing ever. I know it must be done–but I went with J to try on his tux about a month ago and the tux was double what I’ve paid for any bridesmaid’s dress. And I got to keep those. Anyone want to go into the tux rental business with me? We’d make a fortune.
>> I confess that my copyeditor has had my manuscript since Monday. And I am so impressed with Sarah’s work already. I’ll admit that this part isn’t the easiest for me. Is it really for any writer? I’ve always been kind of allergic to the idea of letting anyone read my stuff–so this is a big deal for me–but already I can tell that with her help this book will be much better than anything I could do on my own. I know this is one more step that I have to get comfortable with. But if there’s one thing I learned from the whole running thing–it’s that I need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Happy Wednesday, folks! I’m off to, I don’t know–maybe actually SHOWER because my hubby comes home todayyyyyyyyy!!

Hooray for husbands coming home! I would do the same thing. I hate being alone/am worried a serial killer will come and get me so I basically tell my parents when Carl is away and that's it.
Also, you get me. Spiders are awful. Since it got warm out, we've had all those stupid ones who make webs where the ceiling and the wall meet. They are so gross and they love to drop down on a single web string to freak you the EFF OUT.
Get out the vacuum and suck up the spiders, J will be so impressed that there are no dead spiders around and you don't have to get near them!
Glad your husband is coming home to you! I want free dresses- jealous! Hopefully the boot is off soon so you can rock it!
ha! i don't do spiders either. there was a huge one in the mud room and i hollered for my mom. she came running thinking something was wrong and then gave me the side-eye when she saw that it was just a spider hahaha!

"The shoes mark their carcasses so J can get them when he gets home." BAhahahahaha!
Comedy CDs are the BEST for long road trips! Pete and I listen to them all the time.
OMG… we were JUST talking about renting a tux. SO stupid. Even if I never wear a bridesmaids dress again, at least I FEEL better having it be in my closet and not back at the store.
yay for hubby coming home!
and ew no spiders. no no no no.
renting tuxes – so ridiculous! they were more expensive than the bridesmaids dresses that my girlfriends will never wear again.
I don't do spiders either. I usually spray the heck out of them with Windex so they die, then squash them with a shoe. I'm afraid to step on them because my mother once did and baby spiders scattered everywhere. Talk about freaky!
Yay for your husband coming home!!!!
Ummm I totally hate spiders….but my husband hates them more than me. (If that is even possible.) So I have had to grow a pair and be the killer and remover of spiders. The things you do for love….
Yayy for your husband coming home today! Don't you love when you find old CDs? Sometimes it can be the best throwback! I'm with you on not being able to handle spiders– my only method of killing them is to spray them with anything I can find– it's the only way I can kill them while staying at a safe distance!
Social media should definitely not know when you're home alone. Good call. I am loving listening to comedy lately, too. Something about having to pay attention makes the drive seem much faster.
Tuxes are a total racket.
Hurrah for a returning husband!
Aww glad he's coming back home! 😉

Glad he's coming home! 🙂 It sounds like it's been a LONG and eventful few weeks. *hugs* to you darling!
Since everyone and their mother knew I was in CA alone, I'm pretty glad now I didn't get axe-murdered!
I totally nodded right along with the fact you didn't tell anyone due to all the murderers out there….I mean like hello!!! I totally understand and I'm so happy for you!!!! I don't do spiders or cockroaches either. I have many cans of raid in my house and I'm not afraid to use them!
Oh that's exciting someone sent you a dress! I need to get on the train with people sending me clothes where do I sign up?? Confession I get so happy when I see a post from you!!! xoxoxo
Yay so exciting!!!! I'd be your spider killer for you when your hubby was away so long as you shoo'd all the birds away for me!
I am laughing my ass off, I do the same exact thing and kill spides with my shoe, but leave them for Steve to pick up! I'm late reading this, so your man is home! Hope he did the dirty work, and now you guys can spend some time together!
