Will has commented that when I talk to other people on the phone I sound like a completely different person. I sound happy and chipper, like I'm really happy to talk to them. On the other hand, when I talk to him on the phone its for a purpose - could you pick up milk? When will you be home? How is your job going? Its just routine. I tried to sound happier on the phone with him, but it just sounded ridiculous.
So....for our anniversary we went to dinner at my favorite place. Yes, the same place we go every year. But this year, we really stretched ourselves. Afterward, we went to a late night movie. I mean the really late movie. Not only was it late, but it was in 3D. We were really living it up. I admit it was a lot of fun, but I definitely could not stay up that late again for a while.
I guess its okay to be predictable as long as we change something up every once in a while. What we're doing seems to be working!
First of all, you look awesome.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I totally agree with you but I think we're both going to be living with a lot of unpredictability in about 2.5 months!
Are you being predictable or efficient? When you go to the same restaurants, watch the same TV shows, and sit in the same seats, you are both conserving time and energy and also selecting the experience you can most expect to enjoy. If you stick with things you know you like and someone else messes things up for you (bad waiter, lousy plot, etc.), hey, that wasn't your fault. When we deviate from choices we know to be good, we take a greater risk of being let down by the experience and, worse, of feeling responsible for letting ourselves down. If you take risks, you have to be prepared to make a mistake and not beat yourself up about it. Personally, I think going to your favorite restaurant on your anniversary was the best choice. Try those new experiences when they won't wreck your day if they don't turn out well.
