Both Home Mid-Day

   Today has been interesting. Our apartment is super small. So last night Brandon asked if I would be home until time for work today. I said yes and he said "oh." That said it all. We both need our "me" time and we knew we were going to be competing for space. So this morning I went upstairs to have my time, workout and blog while Brandon stayed downstairs and did his thing. But then I come back down, took my shower, and then started my cleaning spree. There's nothing I love more during the day than washing the dishes and making my lunch while I watch the biggest loser. I feel productive but I also get to watch a show I love. But today Brandon is home. And he decided to learn a new lick in a song. It is LOUD. If you go to Cornerstone or are on the praise team, you know that Brandon likes to play his guitar LOUD. So I'm in the kitchen, washing the dishes and he's BLARING in the living room. But all his stuff is set up so he can't go upstairs, and the dishes are downstairs, so I can't go anywhere.
I tell him he's going to have to give me a few minutes to finish the dishes so he comes to help make it go faster. But then I want to also dry and put all the dishes away. Haha. Competing for space. Funny.  I have a friend who always asks me how in the world we have our quiet times in the same house. It's funny cause normally we are not here at the same times during the morning/mid-day so we don't have to think about it. And we also have my parent's part of the house so we have extra space to go if we need our "me" time but today reminded us both that we have to share the house sometimes when we're not doing the same things. Obviously we are here a lot of the time together, but normally we're cooking together or watching a movie together or just spending quality time together. And when we are together but still doing different things, we have to find the balance.
So today we found our solution!! I put on these big professional headphones of Brandon's so I could listen/watch biggest loser on my laptop and it has a LONG cord so I can still move around the kitchen and get all the dishes washed and put away. I can still hear him a little, but he's not drowning out my show.  Bottom line, we can make anything work. We love each other!

Also, thought I would comment about my workout this morning. I talked to Anna last night and she said I definitely should try to workout more than just once a week. 2 things I love about the circuits that we did on Monday night.
1. They are easy and don't really take too much time but they also make you still feel like you've really worked your muscles.
2. You get to choose how hard you push yourself. They never really get old because you just push harder as you get stronger.
This morning I did the 10 workouts for 45 and 30 seconds each. If it's possible for me to be more sore than I was yesterday, then I probably will be tomorrow. I was shaking the whole time I did them for 30 seconds.
But it's worth it. Brandon has already been telling me how he can tell I'm slimming down. That feels good!

Hope you've enjoyed my blog #2 of the day. Still hoping Brandon will blog soon :)
Have a great day :)
