Fending for Myself

My amazing husband works for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. He travels lots to sales all over Canada and a few in the United States. John is very passionate about being an Auctioneer and supporting all areas of the company from Sales, Yard, and Customer Service staff. Yes, my hubby can “talk” fast . However the skill of bid calling and being an auctioneer are much more in depth than possessing the quality of being a fast speaker! If that’s the only quality they needed to posess - clearly I’d be very wealthy with my natural ability. He he…

My Texan is on the road for a couple weeks, leaving me at home to fend for myself. I’m really hard done by, I know. Not likely – I get so much done when he’s away so that I can enjoy the time even more when he’s closer to home. I miss my soul mate when he’s away – however we thrive on quality time.

I giggled so hard when I saw this cartoon! Obviously the child and pet are out of the picture for us for the time being. John has a blast when he’s on the road and that is so satisfying. My talented husband loves what he does for a living. If you love what you do – you never work another day in your life.

Singing Out Loud

Hope you’ve had an amazing weekend!

My marvelous husband’s Star Birthday is tomorrow and I gave him his gift early ;)

(Thank goodness for our Costco rebate check – I could treat him!)

John has been talking about an iPod for a while. He LOVES music (and thinks I should be able to identify the artist and name of song on que – however that is part of the “opposite” skills that brought our relationship together!). My auctioneer hubby also wanted to upload clips from sales he’d done to learn from and improve. Always learning…that’s what life is all about.

Thanks to my beautiful friends Tam & Nolan – I was surprised with an iPod Shuffle a few weeks ago!

Our friends Johnny and Jen kindly shared their playlists with us while they were here. So John had a HUGE head start to his library of music. He has honestly been so addicted to iTunes for the past 1 1/2 days. I love it – he’s so excited to learn everything. John was busy compiling music for his work trip tomorrow with his new toy. I wanted to spend time with him – so I made myself at home next time surfing the net.

iTunes

I had no idea John was going to get so many hours of entertainment out of this present! Out of nowhere John informs me he’s going to mow the lawn. When I turned to look at him – he was so cute!!

I was doing some things inside when I hear this loud voice singing away. I thought it was the computer still playing iTunes but no – it was John! He was outside mowing and just givener!!

Ha ha – I’m laughing WITH! It was amazing to hear my hubby’s voice singing out loud with the music on his new iPod.

That’s what life is all about. Sing like no one is listening ;)
