Boring!

My life is pretty boring right now. Just working and cleaning house. I have started going to the gym again and so far, so good. I am trying to get some deeper cleaning done since Alden's parents are coming to visit the first of July. My parents might come too, but maybe just my mom. My dad likes to cut our hay around the fourth of July, so who knows if we can pull him away for a few days. Yesterday, I cleaned off and dusted the top of my hutch. It was so filthy. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't cleaned up there really good since we moved in three years ago. Little did I know that it gets dirtier up there faster because of the celling fan blows all the dirt directly onto the hutch. I had a bunch of dried roses up there (about six dozen) and they were so dirty that I had to throw them away. In some ways I am glad I had a good excuse to throw them away, but it still made me a little sad. They were all from Alden and I was going to make something out of them one day. I do still have a lot of dried roses, so I guess I'll survive. It looks great all cleaned up and I will definitely clean it more often now. We are getting our carpets cleaned on Thursday by the apartment manager. We were going to do it ourselves again with a rug doctor but it is about the same price to have our manager do it and a lot less work for Alden. We bought some throw rugs to put in the high traffic areas that are machine washable so maybe we won't have to have the carpets cleaned as often. Hopefully he doesn't say anything about the kayak hanging from our ceiling. We got permission from the previous manager to hang it up but who knows what this guy will say. Alden is on hyadis from his job right now, since they don't film much in the summer months and I am trying to convince him that he needs to do more work around the apartment. I appreciate that he does take out the trash and he does the laundry each week, but sometimes there is much more that he could be doing.

I just have to vent a little. Yesterday at the gym there was a girl on the elliptical machine on my left and Alden was on my right. He kept looking past me to look at this other girl. It really upset me. I confronted him about it and he just said he was sorry and left it at that. He really wasn't sincere about his apology and that made me more upset. I understand that guys look at other girls but to look past me really hurt my feelings. I have a horrible body image as it is and that always makes it worse. Oh well, I'm over it. (Well, almost.)

Until next time...
