Then and Now

Pretty much everything in my life has changed over the past few months, but I realized yesterday, that one of the biggest changes has been how I spend my days off.

In my "life before wife," when I had the very rare day off it typically went as follows:
- Get out of bed around 8:30
- Call up one of my squatches (the affectionate term I use for my life-long best friends), and pick them up and head to the beach
- Rummage through my closet in search of something to wear out on the town for our inevitably awesome night out ahead.
-"Eh, forget it, I'll make Tory go shopping with me for a new outfit once I get there."- Side note- this usually happens after a few margaritas which leads to 1) an overpriced outfit and 2) something I would regret ever purchasing, much less wearing
- Spend the afternoon at the beach with the margaritas mentioned above
- Go out on the town
- Go to bed somewhere around 4:00 am
- Wake up feeling like I shouldn't have survived, and wondering if I really have the will to continue through my hangover

How I spent my day off yesterday:

- Wake up at 6:00 am and make Blair breakfast before he heads to work (ok, so it was instant oatmeal, but I did put dried fruit and almonds in it, so it still counts)
- Run around the house cleaning until 8:00am
- Jump in the shower
- Meet home inspector for 4 month home inspection
- Head to the social security office to get a new card with my new last name
- Sit around in social security office for 2 hours trying to figure out who is trying to scam the system (go ahead, you can judge me now for this)
- Head back for a dentist appointment and leave the dentist totally stoked for a clean checkup
- Close my old bank accounts
- Get my nails done
- Head to "work" at Wine Styles
- Go to bed by 11:00 while Blair watches VT basketball
- Fall asleep thinking...I should blog about this

So...needless to say, things have changed here, and to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Happy weekend to all!
