Relying on the Internet for My Happiness...Not Ok, Apparently.


Right after I decide to stop slacking and update my blog regularly, my damn Internet goes down at my house. So for the past week, I have had to go to the local coffee shop or use it at work until this is all fixed at home.

So there I was on a lovely Saturday morning reading blogs, facebooking and drinking chai tea at the cafe up the street. 

Since I decided to update my blog regularly, but had the stinkin' Internet go down, the following has occurred in my life:

- Mr. Marine dropped my camera and broke it. Not having my camera in my purse causes anxiety.

- My Internet at home isn't working. This makes me grouchy and forced Mr. Marine to give me a "come to Jesus" talk about finding things in my life that don't require the Internet. He thinks I am too dependant on the Internet for my happiness. Nice.

- Mr. Marine and I have "dates" at the coffee shop now. Both staring at different Macs instead of snuggling at home. Ahhh, married life is great! Priorities for Mr. Marine: Sports Illustrated and checking on Georgia football. Priorities for me: Facebook, Blog, Emails, Us Weekly and People. Snuggling can happen later, right?

- I started Weight Watchers for the bazillionth time. I recently found my old WW card from college, and my starting weight then, is my goal weight now. Damn.

- Political crap in the USMC is driving me nuts. I HATE being told what I HAVE to do. And I will bitch about it to Mr. Marine just to bitch about it, but he knows I will always comply.
 Dang my compliant personality.

- I vowed to begin running again. Deciding to do this as winter is approaching wasn't my best decision. I have yet to even walk down the street, much less run.

- Our precious and handsome Bulldog, and the face of Bulldawg Nation, died this week. We will miss you UGA VII.

Well, I must go home before I drink anymore coffee. I'm starting to get the shakes.

  1. Ahh military life! It's not just the Marines that are being told what to do, it's active duty military in general. I know what you're going through right now with the WW thing. I did it in college and I started it again a few weeks ago and my goal weight now was also my starting weight in college. Oh well, so is life :-) Good luck!!
