Yeah, I'm back. . . again

OK, I'm so not a blogger. Can't seem to post on  a regular basis. Instead of trying to do it daily, I think I'll set aside one day to do it. Let's see how it works out.

Lots has changed. I live in Texas, I have a daughter and I no longer own a blackberry. I thought about deleting the previous post, but decided not to since the themes are really pretty. I now own a droid and I'm in love.

I think I'm going to devote this blog to books I've read. I have a wordpress blog that I think I'll devote to Droid. Again, let's see how this plays out. Luckily both Blogger and Wordpress have apps. . .I'm not getting my hopes up, but I will try.

First book is The Witness by Nora Roberts. Wasn't always a fan, in fact, I didn't want to read her work at all. I mean, come on, who could be that prolific and be any good? I was wrong. I don't like all of her work, but I do like a good bit of it.

The Challange- To read The Witness and blog about it.

New Theme

Just finished a new theme- my 1st hidden dock theme. There are several really awesome sites that made this theme possible:

I got these awesome svg(s) from Laura. (Check out her site- she has wonderful icons and helpful svg(s).) I used her hidden dock svg in this theme.

The wallpaper I made is from a pattern from Pattern Cooler. Loads of awesome seamless patterns on his site.

The font I used is from Nymphont. The font I used is called "Caviar Dreams". I also love "jolly," "champagne and limousines."

Anyhoo, here's the screenie:

New Themes I've Made

Here are new themes that I've recently made.

New Theme

Even though I love making my own themes, I *love* to download themes made by others. Here's one of the 3 new Hello Kitty themes from Bee'z Berry Blog.

Tumblr.

I just got a Tumblr. account: http://enchantedgypsie.tumblr.com/
Its pretty interesting social media-- micro blogging. (Not as intensive as a blog, but more agile than Twitter.) I really like it because I can use my Blackberry to send stuff to it. More than likely I'll use my Tumblr. account to post pics, sites and quotes. Going to be interesting. :)

Rant Update

Well, the next morning my husband did the dishes. Things have gotten better. . .we did end up having another argument-- a big one. (We normally don't fight, so a *big* fight is major for us.) I admit that though my feelings were valid, the way I handled it was horrible. I need to learn how to communicate. We've worked it out, and everything should be great.

Things are going to be really different around here. After all the arguments, we're going to have to rearrange how we do things and more than likely I'll be doing the majority, if not all, of the housework again. D got an internship, and the bad news is that I will be seeing even less of him. He'll be working 8-5, plus summer school. He's also still working at Domino's on Sundays. It majorly sucks, but we'll have the weekends. Anyhoo, here's my screenie of the day. Its another Nancy Drew theme:

Husband Rant

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! Why, oh, why, can't my husband wash the dishes? Is it too much to ask for one simple chore to be done in a timely manner? I'm 5 years older than my husband, which admittedly, is a huge part of many of our "quarrels". I've been there, done that , and he's just getting there-- I hope that makes some sense to you. He's still at college and I'm the bread-winner of the family. Not a big deal really.

At the beginning, I wanted him to be able to go to school and not worry about the house, so I did all the housework, and worked 40+ hours a week. Well, lets just say I got burnt out and became, unknowingly, angry at him because of it. When I finally realized this I asked him to pick up the chore of washing dishes. I know its not a lot, but trust me, it made a huge difference for me. This semesters finals came up and he was frantic with projects to do for his classes and studying. He asked me if I would mind doing the dishes until it was over, and I agreed because I know that finals can take a lot out of you. Well, finals are now over and he has not resumed his chore.

This past weekend we had quite a few dishes, and he did about half and decided to do the rest the next day-- it was late, I understood. The next day comes and a lot of stuff came up, so I understood that it wasn't going to get done that day-- fine. Tuesday comes around . . .dishes not done. Wednesday . . .work day for him, dishes not done. Thursday, again, not done. I'm fuming mad now.

I work late nights and when I get home at 3/4am I don't want to have to worry about the fucking chores. I guess the way I came in this morning he knew I was mad about something. He asked me, and I told him- "Yes, I'm mad. Its been 3 days and the fucking dishes still aren't done." I went about my business of winding down, and he chose to ignore me and haul his ass to bed. I realize this and ask him why he went to bed without even so much as a "good night", "sorry babe" or even a lovely "fuck you"? His answer- "I know you're mad and I don't want to make it worse." That I have to say is the funniest thing I've ever heard.(can you read the sarcasm in my text?) I'm not sure if he's realized this, but it just pissed me off even more that he didn't even have the balls to apologize to me.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. I would like to cook dinner, but I don't have any dishes to cook with. *Sigh* I may just let him fend for himself. I'm tired of having all the responsibility on my shoulders. I feel like the only member of our two-person family . . .I'm really, really sad about that.
