Ugh.
It's not always sunshine and rainbows in relationships. This weekend, however, it was.
So I've lived in Cincinnati for 21 years. It's one of those places that a lot of people like to bitch and complain about because it's a little bit conservative and for the most part, poorly ran. "This city sucks!" "I hate this city." "Why can't Cincinnati be more like (insert any larger metropolitanBreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475655030790402957.post-90712172925583552412012-06-01T16:39:00.001-04:002012-06-01T16:41:35.413-04:00Why I Love Social Media...My favorite part about social media? The fact that I don't miss a thing, even when I'm sleeping. And, thanks to Ian, I don't miss out on what I'm doing when I sleep either. This is the tweet I woke up to today: (I am "ImJustBree" and Ian is "iewallace".)Breehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475655030790402957.post-55394837929853821992012-05-29T12:46:00.002-04:002012-05-29T12:47:42.530-04:00Ian Hates "The View", So He Installed Speakers in our Bathroom.
A lesson in compromise and adjustment.
After almost three years of living together, Ian and I have our morning "dance" down. I know when he is a little grumpier in the mornings and he knows when I'm a little more neurotic. I know when I can go in for morning cuddle time, and when I should just bring him a water and ibuprofen instead. It's a dance that we have perfected and I highly recommendBreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475655030790402957.post-90368939110789302442012-05-22T12:53:00.000-04:002012-05-29T19:30:51.584-04:00Hotdogs Twice in One Day....
And why being a Red's fan for us isn't just a hobby; it's a lifestyle.
I am a fan of the Cincinnati Red's. Ian is a worshipper of the Cincinnati Red's. I will be completely honest right now and let you know that before dating Ian, I was what Ian would refer to as a "cheerleader" when it came to sports. (According to Ian, being a "cheerleader" refers to the so-called sports fans that only showBreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475655030790402957.post-43757042269751549242012-05-18T20:37:00.003-04:002012-05-29T19:31:17.421-04:00"Come home when you get home..."
...and other quotes that come about from "Free Fridays".
On Fridays, Ian and I have an arrangement that I like to refer to as "Free Fridays". We both work on Fridays and it is our one night a week that we do not have to check in with each other when we make plans. He is "free" to do what he pleases and not worry about inviting me and I am "free" to do the same. We both have two very different Breehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475655030790402957.post-48425329615558266142012-05-17T18:41:00.000-04:002012-05-17T18:41:29.351-04:00We Keep Weird Hours and I Should Be the Size of a Cadillac
We grocery shop at midnight and eat dinner between the hours of 11 pm and 1 pm. So is the life of a valet and a gal in retail that live together...
When I was twelve and used to play "pretend future" with my neighbor Stacey (in our fantasy lives she married Johnny Depp and I married Axel Rose), it never involved the schedule that at 33, is my reality. I work anywhere between the hours of 7am Breehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13280622202618542610noreply@blogger.com0
