Chris is out of the house this morning so I’m eating OREOS for BREAKFAST while I watch church online. It’s like I’m a child, but a good child who still goes to church when no one is around. just while eating Oreos
(a comic from my book Date Me)
I think about this one often these days because it’s how I’ve felt a lot lately. I tried to explain it to Chris last night and I sounded like a LOONY (hahaha)
I fell asleep on the couch next to Chris and when he woke me up I jumped and screamed and shouted “ARE MY EYES OPEN OR CLOSED?” I don’t know why.
Things that feel too good to be real right now:
- I’m marrying Chris
- We’re planning a WEDDING (we’re just KIDS. I don’t feel old enough for this) (I’m not a kid. Almost 30)
- We’re going to NORWAY for our honeymoon. My dreeeeam
- We opened a joint credit card and savings account last night. But I was still sad about having to take so many people off the guest list that I didn’t get fully excited but it’s cool now when I’m thinking about it now
An unexpected learning curve: I keep cutting myself with my engagement ring. Like, drawing blood. THIS IS A LIFELONG PROBLEM
Recent life changes: (pt. 1, probably)
• Chris moved into my house
• Achilles moves from having a “father figure” to a “daddy” (we have to retrain her but it’s ok)
• I USE PINTEREST to plan my wedding. It’s weird but fun
• I only eat 9 Oreos per week instead of 21. It’s a wedding diet
my Uber driver just invited me to his virtual gender reveal party –
all I wanted to do was sell him a book, but then we became Facebook friends and now I’m going to find out the gender of his baby.
what a time to be alive
I KNOW she’s my best friend when the first question Katie asks me after I tell her I’m engaged is “do your nails look good?”
priorities. that’s my girl
Since getting engaged, I’ve gone my first noticeably two days without wearing mascara, at the same time wearing my snowman sweatshirt (so bad) and sweatpants. I didn’t mean to but I think I’ve officially given up trying to look good
WHICH IS MORE BEAUTIFUL? (trick question - don’t answer)
Check out my new book! on www.kristinbeale.com 🐞
I have a folder of wedding dresses on my computer (had it for monthssss), but MORE IMPORTANT is Achilles’ wedding dress. This is where I spent the serious money
I’ve been dating Chris for 12 months, living with Chris for 8 months, quarantined for 3 months, and I’m still living under the umbrella of “I am a lady and ladies don’t poop.” It’s impressive, really. I think I’ve tricked him?
but now we’re getting married so let’s see how long keep this going. Taking bets
Chris is moving into my house this weekend(!) and we have to rearrange the guest room to accommodate something called “THE FART COUCH.”
I liiiterally haven’t been attracted to another man since I fell in love with Chris but then I saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt and it makes me so uncomfortable that I am. I had to unfollow him on Instagram.
