I love my wife to death and if anyone has kept in touch with us, they know the "tests" we're going through. It's hard when both of us are working on such screwed up schedules that we really don't get to spend that much time together. Add to the fact that the house market affects us directly and a strain on the relationship begins to show....especially since we're both working our asses off just to stay in our home. 

Odd and I have our talks about what we really want out of life. We talk about what most married people talk about - a plan for kids, hanging around family, doing extra work, time for ourselves, social lives, etc. We dream and we support each other. We share the same vision of becoming a successful couple in several areas of our lives but sometimes we have to understand our limits and make use of our strengths. So yeah...we had a good talk.

On another note, we had the opportunity to go to Philly and New York but decided to cut that short. Actually, we decided to cut it altogether. At one point, we were dissapointed that we didn't get to do much for our 1st anniversary but at least we made the best of that day by going to a 9er game and having dinner afterwards in the city. With the way the 9ers are playing, they are pissing me off right now.

So my birthday passed too and it's always a quick reminder that certain things in life need more focus.

I've been told that the older you get the more you need to start minimizing on the "kid" stuff like games, movies, sci-fi shows etc.

Does this mean that I need to be in a more adult-like demeanor? What does that mean? Suits, wine collections, and excuisite paintings? Do I need to play the harp?

What gets me is how these same people cannot even do these same basic things...like uh...be respectful?. Shit.

Anyway, just take these people with a grain of salt and move on.

Well, my wife and I are going to have a busy week. There are also a ton of birthdays going on this month (i.e. Rob, Chatte, Paolo, Junior).

BTW, it's Paolo's bday. Happy bday bro.
