You Ain't His Wifey!

Disclaimer: THIS IS A RANT! 

I have seen so many people on Facebook calling their boyfriends and girlfriends: husband, wife, hubby, wifey and hubs. This makes me more angry than it should. You aren't married, you are dating. You have not gone through the process of being engaged and made that commitment to love someone with unconditional love until the day you die. You have not made a public declaration and vow to love in all circumstances and never give up on each other. No, you are dating; so I urge you, please: Respect the married people, the ones that swore till death to us part, the ones who vowed never to give up on each other, to love and respect forever. Call it like it is. 

Rant over. I'm engaged and Wilson is my FIANCE! Not my husband, yet.... 

Workin' on ya Fitness.

Is your Pinterest full of fitness tips, healthy diet options, easy workouts and weight loss solutions but you're sitting there reading this, eating buttery popcorn and a box of cookies?

Me too!

I have no solutions for you or even tips, all I can say is that the wedding is creeping up on me and I'm doing nothing to improve my weight and figure except pin about it. It's even more embarrassing because I work at a gym. I have a FREE membership, like what the heck!? I work out like I blog - RARELY. Maybe as my posts increase so will my gym attendance.

I will also mention that I'm terrified of the gym, there are two types of people out there the ones that are extremely motivated and the ones that are done. I frankly don't fit into either category. I feel incredibly out of place, therefore I choose not to go.

Happy Health Kickin'.

I Quit

   It has become increasingly hard to plan a wedding in todays society. You see all these ideas on Pinterest that you think will work and you want to recreate but its difficult and it never turns out how you think it will. There is also the competition of keeping all your ideas a secret and trying to make it so your wedding is memorable and fun for everyone. There is an average average of 150 guests that attend a wedding which means 150 mouths to feed, 150 opinions to combat, and 150 people to please; even though this day is supposed to be about the Bride and Groom. It is incredibly difficult to please everyone involved and make everything work on a budget. Someone is always going to be upset or feel unhappy.

   My fiance and I have run into problem after problem. We got engaged in August and the whole wedding was planned by December for us to wed in July. We were pumped and happy but then crap hit the fan to say the least. First, we ran into the problem of who to sit where because so and so doesnt get along with so and so. Second problem was with people plus ones. We love the invitee but not the person they are dating so how do we tell them that their significant other is not invited: YOU DON'T, but they aren't. Then, we ran into people competing to get married before us. (WTF?! get a life) Our venue then fell through, I want an outdoor wedding with flowers and sunshine, but we were unable to find a park to get married in. So where does that leave us? Well, you quit.

  We aren't quitting to give into pressure, or let the others win, we are quitting pleasing people. Frankly, I am over it. I refuse to deal with the idea that your wedding day is about anyone but the Bride and Groom. ((If you are attending a wedding, do EVERYTHING in your power to support the bride's decisions and wishes.)) Wilson and I quit to make everything easier. We decided to change everything and elope and I couldn't be happier. I guess elope isn't the right word its more of a very small destination wedding. With the money we saved from canceling the wedding, we are able to fly my family to Hawaii to do the ceremony there. This means the only people we are pleasing is ourselves.

  I refuse to spend my whole life trying to please people and make anyones wishes come true but our own. What is important to Wilson and I is to make it known to each other that we 1: love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together and 2: make a commitment to each other, in front of the people we love, that in the midst of trial and success we will love and support each other in everything. Weddings aren't about pleasing and appeasing everyone. It's strictly about the commitment and covenant you're making to your spouse to be. Anyone that supports that and is willing to put our needs above their feelings will understand.

New Direction

I am fully aware that I have like one blog follower and that is my oh-so-adoring husband to be. However, since my last blog post in 2014 A LOT has changed. For one, I am no longer single but in fact engaged to be married in July 2015; and two, I am not as much a comedian as I am someone with a lot to say about everything that goes on around me. I will definitely post the occasional joke and laugh but for now I just want somewhere where I can throw words up and maybe one day it will change someones life or at least start a conversation. 

I would love for a post of mine to spark a thought or inspire you in some way, but if you stop by simply for the comedy, that's okay too. 

Happy Reading. 

Adult Problems

So it's been a while since I blogged so a lot of things have changed. Such as: I am no longer a student, YES; I also moved into a new place, DOUBLE YES; and that's about it.

Moving into a new place means new adventures, new learning experiences and new roommates. PARTY ALL THE TIME. Having moved into a new place without any adult supervision has put things into a whole new perspective, for example: if you don't do your dishes, two things happen - 1. no one gets angry with you. 2. they don't get done. Grocery shopping is similar, if you don't grocery shop, you don't eat. Aside from learning these tough lessons we have had some pretty hilarious discoveries as well.

These are a couple of the things we have discovered about our house:
1. Our bathroom fan NEVER turns off. It doesn't matter how many times you hit the off switch, it has a mind of it's own and will NOT turn off.
2. If something breaks, we have no idea how to fix it. Our toilet broke a while back and would legitimately spray you in the face if you weren't careful and our solution was to hold the part that sprayed us and hope for the best. This more often than not would fail. We would stand there, middle of the night, half asleep, holding on to the rampaging hose that sprayed water and accidentally let go. This would result in an almost cartoon like scene where the hose would whip around the bathroom soaking everything in reach and us standing there killing ourselves laughing. I almost miss those days.
3. We have an unrealistic amount of bugs and spiders occupying our home. The first day we ever saw a spider in our house sounded like someone got shot. We screamed a lot, stood on shelves and hair sprayed the poor sucker and then drowned him in the crazy toilet. Now, whenever we see a bug or spider we freak out for a different reason. We have a contest going to see who can kill more. Here's our scores:
Merk (me): Spiders 5, Bugs 10
Berfener (Bethany) Spiders 5, Bugs 4
Crispy (Cristine) Spiders 0, Bugs 3.5
I cant tell if i'm winning or losing.

Living without real adults around is a weird experience but we are having a blast.

Stay Classy.

I'm Not Funny Anymore

I am so out of practice that I'm not even funny anymore.
I actually have nothing funny to tell you. Let me think really hard

Today someone honked at me while I was walking and I waved because I actually couldn't tell if I knew the person or if they were just being annoying. I hate being blind.

This week I went through my old Facebook photos and lets just say, THIS (me right now) is an improvement. #scary

...see, its sad. Someone come trip me or push me off the dock. I need some humor in my life.

No Words

Ever find yourself so caught up in school, work, and homework that you find yourself too busy to hang out with friends aside from the occasional study sessions?

Well I have, I barely have enough time to do my hair let alone get online and blog. I have the need to reassure you though that even though I am so busy that my personal appearance is suffering funny things still do happen.

My schedule right now looks a little bit like this:
School
Homework
Eat (if time allows)
Work
Read
Sleep (if time allows)
Repeat

Ya feel me?

I guess I forgot what it feels like to be in school.
Shout out to you students who have yet to drown under a pile of books.

Anyways. I used to blog about 10 times a month but now its about once every ten months. I will try to be better.

Keep it real
Try not to drown.
