So if I leave an unfinished project lying around, you post it on the internet. But if you leave an unfinished project lying around it just turns into a new piece of art in the corner?
That earlier post was a checklist I created to help me write a reply to something 4 or 5 months ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a checklist of completed checklists so it was relegated to the draft folder for all eternity until Jane dug it up.
And I can hear the blogosphere now. “Ooh a post about checklists? That’s nice!”
I’m sorry, ladies. This is not a post about checklists.
I take time to adjust to new ideas. This is a planned response on lack of spontaneity.
Last year Jane was debating getting rid of her vehicle and we could share my car. She commented on my lack of support for that idea.
“I’m sure you can guess that Ryan was not loving this idea at first.”
As a follow-up, our friend Aurora commented:
“Reading your blog and Ryan’s alleged reactions to your whim has taught me that he is way more boring than I thought. 😛
The thought of finding her in my car every day…
I wanted to go on record and say that not only am I a semi-somewhat-occasionally impulsiveperson, I want to convey to you all that you will never understand the level of spontaneity I cope with on a daily basis.
You see, my daily life is kind of spontaneoused out.
Maybe you just came home from a long day of work. What’s that in the bathroom sink?
It’s a mug with a smiley face on it sitting directly on top of the drain, half filled with cocoa/coffee/WHO KNOWS WHAT. Jane’s not even home.
Hey, what’s this on the counter.
Oh thanks, babe! We haven’t had hammered strawberries in ages!
Or you find unsavory characters in your house.
With all that said, I still put a ring on it. While well planned, I think it came across as a pretty good surprise.
And in two months we’re getting hitched.
For better…
For weird…
… or for worse.
I’m going to get into trouble for that one. Here she comes!
To recap –
To-do:
√ Quote Aurora.

√ Be awesome
Mission accomplished.

Dude, you rock.

LMFAO…..oh, so Jane.
nodding in agreement, Ryan. awesome. and so Jane!
This quite seriously had me rolling on the floor… at work, no less! Great post, Ryan 🙂
Oh man, I remember leaving that comment. I don’t remember leaving it in response to the car thing, though… Woops.
Also, WHY IS SHE POUTING?
Great post, Ryan!
Um, I love this! You two are hilarious. Also, I would like some hammered strawberries to be served at our next meet-up.
Larry makes fun of my lists all the time – “Do you have a list of lists?” he always asks.I love the revelation of your dirty little secrets. (That being said, I would kill Larry if he posted anything like this about me!) I definitely have some slob habits, but I’ve never left a mug in the bathroom sink. Paintbrushes though – absolutely! And tools on the kitchen counter? All the time!
You know, I wouldn’t have let him post them a few years ago. I know there will always be people who will judge me for what he’s shared, but overall I feel like I have an awesome community of people who read this blog, and at this point I’m comfortable with it. For some crazy reason. Also, I may do ridiculous things, like leaving that mug in the sink (I don’t know why I did that) but the house is always organized enough that I can quickly get it ship-shape before visitors arrive.
Hey, did you just subtly call me a snob? 😉
