Today is one of those days. Not a bad day by any means, just a day where I feel like I have a lot of different things to say. First off, how many of you have had roommates not including your spouse? I have had a few in my day. My first ones were friends, but we ended up not speaking again after our lease was up. My second set were 2 girls I knew, but weren't close with, we ended up being super close. I still talk to them and see them quite frequently. Now my situation is a bit different then most couples. Jared owns two homes. We live in one of them, which is a town home. It is perfect. I love it - so much! Before we were married he had 2 roommates that rented out the rooms in the basement. Roommate one is awesome. He has lived there since Jared moved in there, and he and I get along fantastically. He is seriously one of my best friends. We talk to each other about most everything. He helps me fix my car when Jared isn't home. Jared and I hang out with him and his girlfriend and it's seriously awesome, but there is also a pretend space divider. The roommates have the basement area and we have the upstairs area to entertain and hang out separately if we need our space. It really is an ideal situation, because then Jared and I aren't fronting the whole mortgage and can go on fun trips to here, here, here, and do this
Anyway, then there is roommate number 2. I love him, I really do. I met him the first out of Jared's friends and we seriously have always gotten along great. Until we lived together. Living together changes things. I feel like I am always cleaning his dishes, buying his food, cleaning up after his dog, and it's starting to become resentment. I love the kid. He's a great guy, but not the best one for me to live with. We've asked him about his plans to move out, and originally it was January, Then mid-feb and now maybe in March. I get where Jared is coming from not wanting to inconvenience one of his BFF's but now we need him out. We're done. Everyone is done. Apparently Jare talked to him today, and gave him a very clear idea that it was time to leave. So I am hoping that it happens soon. I can't stress to you enough, that I seriously do have a great love for him, but we cannot live together.
On a similar note. I am so glad that Jared and I dated for so long that we seriously had camped together, gone out of town, stayed together, vacationed together before we moved in together. It is hard to live with someone when you have to figure out all the ins and outs of living together and still be a newer relationship where you're still figuring out how to compromise, how to fight, how to communicate, all of those things that every relationship goes through, ya know?
Whew there was that.
Next quick rant. Black heads. I have them, I hate them. Anyone in this boat with me? I seriously try anything to get rid of them. I read that the best thing that one blogger ever tried was Biore Strips. I kind of went over board last night. Put them all over my face. Then my momma, the best esthetician in the world, gave me a mask. I decided to double dip, try them at the same time. Seriously after I waited 45 minutes to pull them both off, I don't think my skin has ever looked better.
Shia was trying to peel off my mask with her giant paw
Last rant. Look what I bought. Aren't they the cutest? Steve Madden - $40 at TJ Maxx.
Now I can wear on outfit with a color pop like this from my fashion watch pinboard.
