Another Way to Count Time

First Blog of 2010. Okay, and before we dig into the meat and potatoes, might I just say that I absolutely LOVE typing 2010. Honestly. Try it right now. It makes me smile. If even just typing it makes it a better year, then I'm already a step ahead.

But we all know (er, at least, *I* know) this year is going to be better than just being able to smile when I type 2010. *tee hee, smiled again! :) 2010 2010.

I have about 5 to-post blogs in my head, and no time lately to post. Today was the first day since getting married and living in this house that I TOTALLY cleaned the bathroom. Yes. I got married in September.

I know.

Gross.


But, today was my day to 'get er done'. I have ALMOST accomplished all my jobs of the day, minus BLOGGING and laundry, but that'll be done later tonight. And no, laundry is NOT my code word for nookie. No, nookie is NOT my code word for snuggles. And yes, thanks to Kare, snuggles IS the code word for sex.

During the holidays, Will's family likes to play a lot of cards. I learned how to play Rook and Canasta *NOT to be confused with Canesten.... trust me, vagina cream is NOT a card game. I only got laughed at a LITTLE bit when I mixed the two up. Now, Will and I have spent HONESTLY 5 hours straight playing cards at the kitchen table. This same kitchen table that sits in the middle of an unfinished room with walls half-down and carpetted floors. They'll still be there tomorrow, but playing cards with Will was worth another meal in that setting. I have never 'dated' during the day. I am TRULY developing a relationship with Will that I've NEVER had with someone I've even merely dated.; I am becoming honestly content to spend days at a time with him. Oh, don't get me wrong, we still need our space. And even when I'm angry at him or he's annoyed with me, I still find myself wanting to be near him. Because in the midst of the momentary downside, I am still honestly madly in love with this man.

We've also started reading The Blind Side together. Last week, we had no kids for a few days, so we drove down to the USofA to do some shopping and touring. Will and I had 7 hours in the car together each way, so I read out loud to him. We hope to finish the book together this week so we can catch it in the theatres this weekend. It's not something that Will has ever done with a spouse, and Chris didn't want me to read to him either, so this new 'bonding thing' we've started is really sweet to me.

We went cross-country skiing with my family this past holiday, where Will and I had a while to ourselves to ski in the beautiful mountains of Waterton. We have spent entire days in bed watching Lady Gaga serenade us to Bad Romance. *by the way, that is now Mimi's favourite song to watch on YouTube! lol*

In a month, we'll be on our way to work at the Olympic Winter Games held in Vancouver, Canada. For 2 weeks, with my Will beside me, I'll be taking in the greatness that Vancouver AND the Olympics have to offer.

We've been married for almost 4 months, or 17 weeks, or 121 days, or 2904 hours, or 174 240 minutes or 10 454 400 seconds.

But now matter how you count it, it's been nothing but a speck of time in the awesomeness that is to come. 2009 was a pretty amazing year, but 2010 ( *typing smile) is gonna be awesome!
