Chris' birthday was on Thursday and this past Saturday we had a murder mystery dinner party for him. Drew and I planned it - so it was obviously a little unorganized. Drew and I always have these great (maybe sometimes slightly unrealistic ideas) about things we could do (not us in particular but in general within our separate marriages or with our respective spouses). I am the one that mentioned stadium seating for last year's super bowl game, not knowing that Drew would jump all over that idea. Sorry Jess!
Drew is a great friend for Chris. He is a great friend of mine and it is cool that he lives 200 yards away. If we can't come up with plans or ideas we can always talk about the odd similarities with our mothers. People it is strange how similar they are!
I can be a slightly impulsive person. When I think of something to do or buy, I want to do it at that moment. I hate waiting. I am impatient. and I hate being impatient. If something doesn't happen right away, I tend to give up or shelf it. I know that is horrible. I like to see results, like to see things happen, love to come up with something and see it come into fruition. I guess when I don't see it, it feels like the dream is unattainable, was never meant to be.
I guess what is confusing to me is when do you know that what you want is more than a childhood fantasy and actually something that is attainable. I never want to be someone that is clueless, unaware of my own limitations, oblivious to what everyone else sees.
It is good that I am married to someone that doesn't give up. Chris can see the bigger picture and plan for it. I think of something I want and then get distracted by something else I see. It is cool too because Chris never squelches the ideas in me, never makes fun of them, and I know that he believes in me wholeheartedly... when I cannot believe in myself. It is fun to have a friend like Drew that you can think of crazy things to do, but if it was just up to Drew and I, they may they never turn into anything, just crazy ideas from two crazies.
