a hodgepodge of observations.

These are some observations I have made over the past little bit that I have been meaning to post, I just haven't had the time.

1. Men are antsy. Not all men, but all the ones that seem to work with me. Every morning at work, there is a video conferencing meeting where there is a huge tall table and all the men stand around it. I sit in a chair off to the side and watching them is hilarious. Seriously, it looks like some of them have about 5 fire ants up their pants and they can't get them out. I don't know what it is, but they move, shake and twitch for the entire 30 minutes. I get tired just watching them. Also, now that I am sleeping with a man, I know that HE turns like a human rotissery. I love him to death, but for about the first week of our marriage [post-honeymoon] I had a hard time sleeping because he woke me up during the night turning and twisting so. I am the type of person that lies down and doesn't move again. [virtually.] So this was an adjustment. I just don't know what it is, but men are antsy.

2. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I have noticed that a lot of people who work here often stay late. In America, working too hard has been blamed for distroying families and ruining marriages. But I had the thought the other day as to whether working hard takes a good marriage/family to a bad one, or if the marriage/family is bad to begin with and so that's WHY they work harder - to avoid going home. I know that when my clock hits 3:30, I cannot wait to get home to my husband. I have to be here long enough...why stay longer? I love spending time with him. [And feel free to account for newlywed glow, blah blah blah.] But I'm just saying...it's possible to keep that. Yes, it's hard. I'm not saying it's easy. But it is possible. It just takes a lot of communication and work. A cooke, a twin and I have often discussed the importance of communication within a relationship...but if you refuse to be home, how can that communication occur? You are communicating something...the fact that you aren't wanting to be with that person. I just don't know which came first...the good relationship to the bad, due to work...or the bad relationship that results in avoidance through work.

3. Read this post. Good stuff there.

Okay, I think that's all now.

Side note: Tonight, I shall see my soulmatey. YAY. :)
