Hello, my name is Shoes...long, probably rambling

God, it's been so long since I've posted regularly on here that this feels like an intro post.

I admit that I have been lurking, so I am fairly up to speed with what's been going on here.

I miss you girls!!! I feel like I should update you on what's been going on with me.

So I got married and went on a gorgeous honeymoon to Hawaii for 10 days. We had a phenomenal time.

When the honeymoon was over, man was it over. Both H's and my job self imploded when we were gone. H came back and promptly began working 100 hours per week. I came back to my company deciding to fire a major contractor and my department being responsible for picking up all of the slack. I also was getting barked at repeatedly by a coworker and ended up having to issue a formal complaint against her.

H and I also got a dog. Our Gemini passed away one week before our wedding and it was really lonely around the house without the sound of little claws scraping against the hard wood floors. So, we got the new dog, and then for various reasons, she didn't work out and we brought her back.

So, with the work situation, the dog situation, the lack of sex, and my imbedded paranoia that I'll wind up like my parents, lots of big fights ensued, which have finally been resolved.

Needless to say, it's been a bumpy start to marriage, which I totally didn't expect.

And yeah... That's been my life for the last few months.

I promise I'll begin posting regularly again. I've missed you girls.

    Huge hugs, Shoes.  Sorry it has been a rough start to marriage.  That said, this is just an adjustment period and things will get better.  I know how lonely it can be after you lose a dog but maybe you can wait until work settles down to find a better fit? 

    Any good Hawaii pictures to cheer you up (and share with the rest of us)?  I've never been there and it looks lovely.

    Whats a marriage without some sort of rollercoaster ride? You got through it together and that is all that matters. It'll happen more throughout the rest of your lives together.

    Glad you are back!

    Hi Shoes! Glad to see you back around here, and glad your relationship issues are working out. Please stick around this time. News from my end: I'm thinking about dyeing my hair red for fall. We've had, like, 2 cool days and already I have Fall Fever. Thoughts?

    Hmmm... how red are we talking?

    Ooh, if you're handing out hair advice, I'm still considering a chop, or potentially a warm brown, but not too much darker than where I am now.  Thoughts?

    Elle, I think your blonde suits you well, but I'm all for you adding red highlights.

    Not crazy red. A picture of Emma Stone was my inspiration. I would PIP it but I'm on my phone. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a semiperm box color from the drugstore to try it out, and then going to the salon to do it for real if I like it.

    Oh, I think so, too. I love being blonde and I don't think I could ever get away from it for more than a few months, but I'm kind of craving a change for a little while, if that makes sense.

    Hi Shoes!  Glad to see you're back :) 

    I don't think there's anything abnormal about some stress during a marriage sometimes :)  That's totally normal. 

    Hope the work stuff chills out a bit!  Work stress just like takes over your life some time, that's bad news :)
