I think I live beyond the wall

This is pretty much my life right now every single day.

Derek: I wonder if it's cold out today?

Me: Well apparently we live beyond The Wall now so I'm going to say YES.

Winter is staying forever I'm afraid. What do leaves on trees look like? I can't remember.

One month until my vacation. I have to keep reminding myself of that or I'll go insane.

Sushi fear factor.

I've only started to enjoy sushi in the past couple of years. It took me a few tries before I started liking it and now I'm slowly working on getting Derek into sushi.

Last night Derek suggested we go to this sushi place in Central Square called Thelonious Monkfish. The menu was quite large and I was a little overwhelmed with all the sushi choices. They even had sushi named after Disney princesses! (I should have gone with one of those...) So the waitress comes over and I'm not ready to order yet. She comes back again and few minutes later and I don't want to send her away again so I order what I thought was a sushi sampler. When I get the plate half of it is sashimi.

I like sushi, I really do but I have not been able to get on the sashimi train yet. It's just too much fish. But at this point I ordered it so I have to eat it. I eat the actual sushi on the plate first and then it's time to tackle some of the sashimi. I pick one that does not still have fish skin on it (I just can't with the fish skin, just NO). This is the slowest dinner of my life. I'm playing with my chopsticks, I'm fixing my napkin, Derek is trying very hard not to laugh but I can see the smirk on his face. He just sits there with his hands clasped on the table while I drown my sashimi in soy sauce and shove it in my mouth.

The conversation went something like this during dinner:

Derek: Do you even know what you ordered?

Me: Apparently not. I thought it was all sushi!

Derek: Just eat one more piece.

Me: This is like sushi Fear Factor!

This was my own personal sushi Fear Factor except there was no money at the end for finishing. Derek paid for the dinner so I had to do the best I could. In the end I left two pieces on the plate. I just couldn't attempt the fish that still had skin on it.

I guess I'm not a real sushi lover but that's ok. And next time I'm going to read the menu more carefully and stick with the Disney princess themed sushi.

Sorry future children you're going to Blaine Beauty School.

One of my co-workers is pregnant so the topic of babies and children comes up quite frequently at work. Today we started talking about how expensive kids are. If you didn't know this little fact I'd like to inform you of another fact - many forms of birth control are now completely free with insurance!

Derek and I have discussed having kids. When you're in a serious relationship you talk about these things. I always joke that I'm going to have twins (seriously I really don't want twins but I have this gut feeling I will). Derek's response is "No way, we can't pay for college for two kids!" My response is "We're paying for our children's college education? It will be so expensive by then, we'll have to sell organs or something."

Honestly it's a very nice sentiment to want to pay for your future children's education, but today at work I realized an easy solution. Our future twins are going to Blanie Beauty School. I'll pay for that and then we get free hair cuts. Ok maybe just me because Derek shaves his head. And if they choose something like auto repair I'd be fine with that too. I need someone who can fix my car on the cheap.

I'm really glad that I've figured this all out.

This is not a riddle

Derek and I on the T this morning and this conversation happens.

Me: Do you wanna know what's weird?

Derek: What.

Me: So I bought three pairs of tights from Forever 21. I bought a black pair, a blue pair and a red pair all at the same time and they are all the same size...

Derek: Is this a math problem?

Me: No! So the black pair and the blue pair...

Derek: Are you sure this isn't a riddle?

Me: It's not a math problem or a riddle! So the black pair and the blue fit fine but the red pair is too small. It don't make any sense!

Derek: .........

Me: Ok maybe it is a riddle. Why do the red pair not fit!

Derek: Well they were probably made by a child in Indonesia.

He's probably right.

Going to the store

me: "You need anything from the store?"

Derek: "Tampons."

me: "Scented or unscented?"

I'm up all night to get lucky, I'm all night to get zZzZzZzZzZ

I was having dinner at the Pour House last night with Derek when Daft Punk's Get Lucky came on.

If you know me you know that I can't control myself when a song I like comes on, I have to sing along. Sometimes I even sing along to songs I don't like but know all the words to. I have no self control.

So I'm singing along...

She's up all night 'til the sun 
I'm up all night to get some 
She's up all night for good fun 
I'm up all night to get lucky 

Derek gets this look on his face. I know he's not making a face at my singing, he's used to that by now.

Me: why are you making that face?

Derek: Really? You're up all night to get lucky? You fall asleep right when we get home!

Me: I'm tired on Fridays from working all week so shut it.

Derek: continues making the facial expression

Me: continues singing....

I'm up all night to get lucky

I'm up all night to get lucky

I'm up all night to get lucky

I'm up all night to get lucky

I'm up all night to get lucky
