I bet you’re waiting for me to say something brilliant right now. Brilliant right now. That’s about where I am at. Relying on Dad jokes. Quick! Someone get me a hard candy from the dish on the doily!
Moving On. The wedding happened and it was phenomenal. The post-wedding let-down happened and it was not so phenomenal. And now I have nothing to talk about. Well, that’s not entirely true. Here have been all the amazing things I’ve done since I got back from our honeymoon in my quest to Return to Oz:
- Not worked out
- Sunken into a rut regarding the direction of my personal ambitions
o I mean, where did I leave off? Going back to a life that doesn’t revolve around a wedding is like going back to a book you really liked 8 months earlier that you never finished and then when you start reading it you can’t remember why Edgar ran away from home so you have to go back to the beginning and reread the part where he watches his father die. Hmmm, not the best comparison to my personal life in which I must resuscitate. (note to self – resuscitate writing skills too).
- Visit the dentist
- Visit parents and parent-in-laws
- Visit the Dunkin’ Donuts Everyday
o (Cause you can’t believe you’re back at work and you don’t have anything major to save for anymore so feel free to spend it on all trivial items. No one needs to own a home or have an emergency fund in times like these. Go ‘head sweetie, you get that lemon bar. Blood sugar levels? What’s that now?)
- Used the new kitchenware (including but not limited to: plates, coffee cups, vegetable steamer, tea kettle, wok, the refrigerator.)
o I really enjoy cooking. I just wish I had more time to do it. Perhaps I’ll re-propose to my husband of 1.5 months that I be his most lovely stay-at-home wife who cooks amazing dishes, does his laundry moderately well, works out meagerly and visits all the beer gardens with a vengeance.
- Look for puppies on sale
- Look for houses on sale
- Look for personal drive – on sale
Perhaps my luck will start to turn around and I’ll be able to put as much planning and attention to detail to the happiness of my future as I did the success of our wedding.
If anything, I hope something weird happens soon so that I can have something awesome about which to write. The yellow brick road perhaps?
