Who do you live with?
My lovely husband, two dogs and a cat
Do you like who you live with or do you want change?
I'm very happy with who I live with :)
Describe the ideal roommate.
I'm pretty sure my husband is pretty ideal as a roommate. He may be messy, but I am too and he's not as messy as other roommates I've had. Making dinner and shopping would be easier if he liked more vegetables and "healthy" food, but that's not terrible to work around. We're both pretty laid back and quiet.
How much sleep did you get last night?
About five hours. I stayed up too late watching a movie.
Where would you love to play hide-and-seek?
Hmm ... the Field Museum at night might be kind of cool.

So if you couldn't tell from all the GGMM posts from me about eating healthy lately, I've started a diet. I don't really like that word, though, since it's meant to be a lifestyle change, but the ultimate goal is to lose weight and get in shape.

So the husband talked to his manager yesterday and said he was probably going to leave within the next month. The manager then made some calls, and because the manager so desperately wants to keep him, he's being offered his own store within the company. Basically, the company he works for bought another company. They're going to be adding these new stores to some of their current stores, including the one that my husband works for, which will be attached but completely separate. And it means a pay raise. He's still got another month in his current position before he can start, and I really hope nothing happens in the meantime, but yay for good news.

So I thought I'd actually post something about what's going on in my life. We'll see how it goes ...
As much as I love the fun aspects of being an adult (no curfew, no homework, being able to drive, vote, drink alcohol, etc.), the whole paying bills and having to make money in order to pay them thing sucks sometimes. I lucked out--after a year at a job that was cool at first and then just OK, I got offered a job at a magazine that I love. While it has its ups and downs, when I really think about it, I really kind of like going to work every day. My husband has had his ups and downs with his job, too, and has finally come to the point where he hates it and dreads going to work every day. And I hate that he feels that way. So he's talking about quitting and finding another job. The problem is he works in retail, a very good job in retail with great insurance and lots of vacation days and a bigger salary than me, but he never went to college. So while I keep telling him that it's more important that he's happy, I'm worried that he won't be able to find a job that pays as much as his current one. Ultimately he needs to find a job that will pay him for all his years of experience that doesn't require a degree. We could survive on less money, but it would be tough. And we were planning on having kids soon (like getting pregnant this year soon). Now I know there's never a "perfect" time to get pregnant, because life never follows what you have planned, but the whole money thing scares me. I can thank my parents for making me so paranoid. And then, when I think about it, I'm blown away that I'm old enough to be worrying about bills and insurance and babies.
However, this weekend I'm going to focus on making my "how to" project for the magazine (I have to make ice cream sandwiches for the July issue--I know, I have it rough) and visitng with my brother who's in town for a week from L.A. I'm just hoping the husband doesn't go and quit his job this weekend ...
