There are few moments in my life when I think to myself, "I wish I had a husband." I like to think that I'm a pretty independent gal, but even so, those moments still come up. One did tonight and that has inspired me to make a list of the moments that I have thought that.
-While shoveling the driveway for 40 minutes (as the snow still falls...)
-When dealing with car insurance companies.
-When taking my car to an auto shop of any kind.
-When I had to (past tense, thank goodness) scrape my windows at the crack of dawn. (And maybe only in my dreams would a husband actually get up and scrape my windows at the crack of dawn but hey, a girls gotta dream right?)
But then again, I could get a snow blower, have my mommy call the car insurance company next time, ask my brother in law to go with me to the auto shop and park my car in a garage (done). Nonexistent pity party over.

About time for Random Thoughts from Beth, right?
Right! :)
-I was watching an episode of ER (guilty pleasure) last night and after finding out that her husband died a woman had what seemed to be a heart attack. The doctors realized it was Broken Heart Syndrome. I looked it up and as you can see, it's real. I have been thinking about it a lot today. I've decided that although it does seem kind of crazy I can also kind of understand why it happens. Either way it's really interesting to me and it has been on my mind. I've felt heartache before, where it literally feels like physical pain, it's so interesting to me how emotions can affect you physically.
-I realized today that if I put gloves on when my hands are already cold they never get warmer but if I put gloves on when they are already kind of warm they stay warm. Is this common? Is this some kind of known rule that I've been missing out on for the last 27 years? I'm so curious now!
-For the last two weeks my job was rough. The days were long, stressful, overwhelming and left me in tears almost every day. When I went to bed last night I was dreading today. I knew this week would be more chill but I was worried that the constant dread I have felt before going to work each day was going to last. I've had this feeling with many jobs before, where I didn't want to get out of bed, but had made it 8 months at this job without feeling that once and it scared me. Once I got to work today it felt normal again. I am catching up on a lot of things that haven't been done because of some other craziness and I worked until 7 without stopping. I didn't really have to be there until 7 but the time just passed so quickly and I was happy to be there. My new boss came out and said, Beth! I wish there were more hours in the day so I could work more! And as crazy as it sounds, I agreed with her. I love having a job that makes a difference in peoples lives. Even when I sit there doing silly paperwork or talking with employees or filing or anything like that I always have my sweet clients in my head because all of those little things, all of the processes that have been implemented, are there so we can support these amazing people. And for that, I am grateful.
-I decided today that I don't have enough Amy in my life and I have been wanting to run away for the last two weeks so I'm going to go down south the weekend of January 8th (as long as the weather doesn't interfere). Anyone want to join me?
-My niece and nephew are the greatest. I have been thinking about the fun Christmas day I had with them and they just fill my heart with joy! I love that when Austin opened his present from me he said "no way!" (which was a new found phrase as of earlier that morning) and I love that Emily snuggled on my lap with me off and on throughout the day. I love that they both climbed up on my lap to read a book resulting in a picture that is quite similar to one taken last Christmas. I love being their Auntie and I'm so excited that #3 is on the way! I also love that my sister and brother in law know me pretty darn well and that they let me visit so often. They're the best!
That sure was random. :)
