#RelationshipGoals...


I don't have a Twitter.  I have an Instagram, but I don't post.  So, I don't hashtag.  But today I'm feeling inspired.  2 TV shows have me inspired:  Friday Night Lights and The Office.  Kevin, the kids, and I have watched The Office multiple times.  We tend to just have it playing almost non-stop at the house, and it never gets old.  We are just now working our way through Friday Night Lights (it's the 3rd time for Cakes and me).  Now, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there are multiple moments when each of the couple on LOST could have been though of as #relationshipgoals, but there isn't one that was a steady standout.  

So if there are any of you out there who still haven't watched these shows, you should really remedy that situation.  But in the meantime, let's just enjoy how wonderful these couples are.  And then afterward, we can see how well Kevin and I are living up to the #relationshipgoals that they have set.   :)

The Office - Jim and Pam


....I know...they're amazing.
  • Now, you need to go start binge-watching the whole show.  

Friday Night Lights - Eric and Tami Taylor
Real Life - Kevin and Tracy Prickett
  • First, you need to check this out:  A week or so ago, after just over 15 years of wedded bliss, Kevin, the kids, and I went to CiCi's for lunch with my mom, my sister, and her family.  After eating our super healthy and super classy food, Kevin and I went into the "arcade" with the kids.  We mocked each other, our kids, and our nephews just having a grand ol' time.  As we are laughing and hugging, Kevin pulls up my shorts and gives me the wedgie of a lifetime.  Then I look at him and see that he has a little something in his nose.  I lovingly point it out to him, and he takes his napkin to try to handle the situation and just ends up making it worse.  Being the loving wife that I am, I continue to tell him where his boogers are and he continues to try to fix it...all the while, we are both laughing hysterically as my mother watches and laughs in the middle of the CiCi's.  Finally, he gets himself all cleaned up and shoves his napkin in my open laughing mouth.  I squeal, reach for my drink and exclaim, "Ew!  I can't even rinse my mouth, because you put food in my drink!"  While I take a drink of his water, he lets out a gut-busting, high pitch laugh, which causes me to almost do a spit take and maybe more than almost pee a little.  
  • Now, how's that for #relationshipgoals?

This whole post also reminded me of those sweet old couples from When Harry Met Sally, so I'll end with them.  Enjoy your relationships, everyone!

A Case of the Definitelies...


So if you've ever watched The Office, you know that the two people below are not a couple.  Pam is married to Jim, and Andy is a bit of a mess.  Anyhoo, in this particular episode they go on a sales call together and the person they are trying to sell paper to assumes they are a couple and are soon to be parents.  Well, Pam is quick to correct the person "Oh. No, no. We're not together. No, no, no. Definitely not. Definitely not. No. We just work together."  Andy then gets a little offended and says, "Looks like somebody's got a case of the definitelies."

Well lately, I think I've got a case of the definitelies about a few things:

1* I'm definitely not ready for school to start.
2* I definitely have the world's kindest friends.
3* I definitely have a daughter who's playing high school volleyball.
4* I definitely don't feel old enough to have a daughter in high school.
5* I'm definitely a little jealous that Mason chose to take Kevin to the Queen concert tonight over me.
6* I have definitely started biting my nails again.  After years of not.  Maybe I'm a little stressed.
7* I definitely have old looking hands (despite 4 and partially because of 6)
8* I'm definitely married to an amazingly funny, handsome, and loving guy.
9* I can definitely barely tell the difference between him and Nathaniel Rateliff 😊:


10* I definitely think that if you've never heard of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, you should give them a listen.
11* I'm definitely a little nervous about my doctor's appointment on Monday.
12* I definitely work with some incredibly helpful people.
13* I am definitely thankful that my mom is able to come watch the kids for us.
14* I definitely have a cute new puppy whose big brother is still a little unsure.


15* I am definitely enjoying being able to order groceries online and just pick them up.
16* I'm definitely not relishing the idea of getting Mason to school at 6:30 in the morning for football practice each day.
17* I'm definitely thinking I can add that to my ever-growing list of reasons why NOT to workout.


That was definitely more definitelies than I realized.   😄
