Tomorrow Matt and I are leaving to go to Portugal :) Another new country that we will add to our list!!! I must say that the last year has been great for me, traveling through some Europe. I always dreamt of seeing Europe, but until last year never had a chance to do so. I am very happy to say that yet another dream of mine has come true...I am traveling the Europe!
So, this weekend we have Lisbon, Portugal on our agenda. Actually, Matt was in charge of putting together the schedule and places for us to see, but I am positive that it will be great. Now, I have no douts that Matt has too much on his list and we might not be able to do everything he wants to, and I might end up with some blisters (I have yet to go on a trip with Matt and get away with no blisters), but I am sure it will be great fun!!!
Matt is already packed, but since I am a stay at home wife, I have all morning tomorrow to pack, and me being natural procrastinator I put off packing to the last minute....besides, I haven't decided what it is I want to wear ;)

Bed Hogger
...that would be my husband!!! I must admit that our bed in UK is rather small. Matt used to complain that our queen in Minneapolis wasn't big enough, but that was before he got to UK and encountered the fact that even in hotels the biggest bed you get is full :)
It's rather interesting to watch him sleep in UK, because he is a huge bed hogger and since I get to share the bed with him...well, it's a constant battle, that is for sure. He usually wins the battle and ends up with more room, in fact most nights he is just too close to me and has quite a bit of room on the other side. I mean come on, there is better use for that space, I could use it. But what is the best part is when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or go get some water or what not. If I am gone more than 2 minutes, he will spread diagonally and will hug MY pillow and put his sleepy head on it. I mean, seriously, I am gone for 2 minutes and he invades the whole bed plus my pillow.
When I return to bed, I have to wake him up a little and tell him to move, I can't move him when he is awake, forget about it when he is asleep. Then he starts mumbling something and moves about 4 inches, you know, just enough for me to barely lay on the bed, half wondering when I will tumble off to the floor. I am pretty sure that he says some not nice words at me when he mumbles, but I can never make out what it is exactly he is saying.
I must say that it is very amusing and he is super funny to watch trying to take over the bed. He is definitely a bed hogger, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, his excuse for it is: I want to be close to you during the night. Is that why he is taking over the whole bed when I am not in it? Hmm...
I love my hubby...I think I will keep him for awhile. So far he manages to keep me laughing and smiling every day!

Anger Issues
When I was younger whenever I would get angry I used to get over it rather quickly. However, I have been noticing, that older I get longer I stay angry at people and think about the situation that initially angered me in the first place over and over again, which probably does not help in calming down and moving on.
Anyway, Matt used to say that I can't stay angry at him for more than 30 minutes. Sadly, I think I have extended that threshold. I just noticed it today that lately whenever I am angry, it usually affects my entire day now, or the rest of the day at least, and most likely will influence the next day a bit as well. Not a good pattern, if you ask me, but it's reality I guess. At least I know that I am getting worse. Now I just need to figure out if I actually need to stay angry at people that long or if I should work on letting it go sooner rather than later. I don't want people to walk all over me, which makes me think that I should not be all that easy on those who make me anger (I am much harsher when I am angry). On the other side, anger means stress for me, and I don't want to keep that in my system....So, here is dilemma.
