The MuensterbeesFighting the divorce rate, one married make-out session at a time, navigating parenthood with pacifiers and panic attacks...still surviving post-wedding and baby bliss... FOR RANDOM, RAMBLING or BRILLIANT RUCKUS!
My team, my men, my life
11月11日 Introducing Max MuensterbeeIt's been....two years and a new start to a new blog since I left Spaces, but this is where my life is, so I'm back. I hope you accept me and revel with me in the happiness of continuing where I left off, kind of. My life is SOOOO different now. Two years will do that, I suppose! Let's start with the newest/biggest/best change to my life! Introducing, Mr. Max Muensterbee born September 1, 2009 at 5:16 a.m., weighing in at 8.1 lbs., 20.75 inches long:      We are incredibly happy to have this little boy. I truly wish I would have blogged my pregnancy but that year of my life has gone by unwritten. 'Tis the life of someone who hated her pregnancy! In the mean time, Max is two months old now, weighing in at a whopping 13.8 lbs. and 24.5 inches long. He is a beaaaaautifullll little man who looks JUST like his daddy and is so funny and gurgly!! He has already changed SO much and hope to capture his ever changing moments here!      Come on...who could not love that face?!!? I plan to go back to his birth and start there, but for now, I just wanted to introduce the THEN and NOW. I'm back and I hope some of you are happy to see me!! 7月18日 MooooooooooovingChanges are a coming... I'm mooooooooooooving my space in the WORLD WIDE WEB over to Blogger. I found out that I can WARP my page into a full fledged Colts haven and change my header EVERY day if I want and make it all my own. I can picture it now (different pics of Peyton's laser rocket arm) every week! I cannot wait! I will most likely repost some old blogs, and I do plan on keeping this one up and running but I will be making all new updates at: http://themuensterbees.blogspot.com/ I hope you all make the trip over there, update your links to my page and definitely enjoy the change. I think it's going to be SO WORTH IT and a lot of FUN!! Isn't that what it is ALL about? Nothing else will change, just the website address. Over the next few days, I will be making tons of updates including links and all kinds of other fun stuff. Spacies, come see me there! http://themuensterbees.blogspot.com/ LOVE! Your MotherLife has a funny way of showing you when things are important. I have learned this the hard way. I lost my grandpa 11 years ago on July 7th and my Grandma Judy (my fave) a little while ago. I think she still haunts me through my (her) kittie cat Agatha who lives with me now. Sometimes Aggie will kiss my face and all I can think is ....hi, Grandma. I think it's interesting when you discover how much you have in common with someone you have known your whole life. There are times I look into those I see or talk to every day and see bits of myself popping up into their mannerisms (or are those mine?) and thoughts (or are those mine?). I was watching the TODAY SHOW the other morning before heading off to work and they were doing a story on Mothers. Just mothers and kids and how many kids in our (meaning my) generation use our mothers as CONSTANT sounding boards. They said that tons of people my age don't make decisions on their own without consulting their moms and that communication is the most different thing between our grandmothers and our moms and us and our moms (follow all that?). Anyway, I have never been extremely close to my mother. If you can believe it, she is VERY shy, introverted and NEVER says what she is thinking. She bottles everything up and is nice to even those who don't deserve it. WHO IS THIS WOMAN? She is also not had as much dating experience and her life experiences were completely different than mine up to this point. I have no idea how this woman even gave birth to me most days. She is just nothing like me. She is amazing though. She is quietly strong and compassionate to a fault. She is sweet and kind and would do anything for her family. And, yet, I lose myself in her there as well. WHO AM I AGAIN? (I'm exactly like my dad, but I am not talking about HIM today!). My mother is the kind of person who learns from me. She doesn't feel the need to teach lessons or tell me what to do. She doesn't call me because she "doesn't want to bother me." I know it sounds absurd, but she has always just let me live my own life, make my own mistakes and clean up my own messes. This has driven me NUTS for years. In college, my mother only called me FOUR times (four times in four years) and each time was a SEVERE emergency (dad's heart attack, grandma's in the hospital, your sister got arrested, and dad's having emergency open heart). HELLO!! So, now I am jaded. Every time my mom calls now (about once a week), my heart skips a little beat. I am worried it is BAD news. She totally did that shit to me! It's not her fault. Her mother (my wonderful gorgeous grammy) wasn't really that great of a mom to her either. She was always drinking and gone and dating and doing her own thing, leaving my mom and her brothers to fend for themselves. She established independence early and her biggest concern was that there was toilet paper in their house. She would save her LUNCH money to buy TP because my grandma always forgot and there was never any in the house when my mom got home from school. The only thing my mom ingrained in me growing up is to NEVER go without toilet paper. Don't all our moms have that issue? Isn't it funny now, but doesn't it STICK with you? I always have a ton of TP in the house and Erich is always wondering why. I just honestly never want my mom to catch me with only one roll or something! My mom and I have gotten closer over the last couple of years. We do talk more but we don't really give each other advice. She knows I think she is too passive, but she says she can't change now. And, up until recently I never called and asked her "what would you do?" and she never offered. She is a good listener but I don't really ramble to her (isn't that weird??). She is special to me, though and I love her more than anything. I sometimes wish that we had one of those uber close, tight knit, tell each other everything, relationships, but at the same time, I think what we have is beautiful and respectful and graceful in its own way. We just live and let live. We are happy to chat and we don't fight. We are more like friends now than anything else and I don't worry about what she thinks about me or my decisions at all ever. There are pros and cons. I just know taht I don't fit the new "trend" that the TODAY SHOW was talking about. It's just not ME. I don't use my mother as a sounding board or as a psychologist. I don't worry about her advice on marriage, clothes or jobs. I don't tell her everything. I tell her next to nothing actually because honestly, I just don't think she would care too much. But it doesn't offend me. It's just the way it is. My quiet strong mom is the one I would choose if I could have hand picked her. HANDS DOWN. She is amazing and wonderful and sweet but far from the helicopter moms of today. I don't think there is anything wrong with my relationship. It is just different. And,there are days I do see it. I see SO much of ME in HER. I will be driving down the road and call the guy who cuts me off a dick through clenched teeth and know THAT is my mom. I also READ EVERY SIGN I SEE OUT LOUD. That is SO my mom. Especially when we are driving through places we have never been (road signs, store fronts, etc.). It was Erich who noticed I did this and I was like "whoa...that's my mom." I clean my house before someone comes over like a madwoman. I tell Erich to "bite me." I fold my towels a certain way. I keep mad stock of TP in both bathrooms. I love cats. I dance just like her. I laugh like her when we are both drunk. We are both oddly sarcastic and we are both completely taken advantage of by our friends. We were my grandma's favorites. We both can read a whole book in one day. We both think my dad is ridiculous and yet I married a man just like him. We both drive at 10/2. Almost every day I see something of myself in my mom.....and it is the best surprise of my day. How about YOUR MOM? Do you fit the trend and mold of today's generation? Do you run every decision by her? Tell her EVERYTHING from what you ate to if you had sex? Is she your psychologist? Or is your mom just someone who gave birth to you who you love and adore but have nothing in common with like me? Or....is your mom the kind of woman you will NEVER want to be? 7月15日 Worlds CollidingTo my Spacies and the Knotties/Nesties who lurk here, I just thought I would ANNOUNCE that my internet worlds are colliding and while I'm excited to share my life with those who know me in RL and continue to share with my Spacies, it might be an odd transition for me! You all might have noticed I have added some Snarks to my newlywed section and their blogs are up and running, so DEFINITELY check them out!! LIFE LOVE AND THE PURSUIT OF THE NEXT VACATION Ashley is knowledgeable in the world of travel. She has been traveling since she was little all over the US and parts of Europe. Now, she is planning a fantastic cruise wedding (which I'm ATTENDING! WOOOO HOOOO!) in November and honeymooning in Mexico in December. She just finished her undergrad degree in something airliney and is heading back to school to get a Masters in Business. SHE IS BUSY!! BUSY!! BUSY!! Check out her blog for ideas to travel on the cheap, random places to visit that you might have thought of, and keep up with her exciting adventures!! SHOW ME TO THE BEACH Rachel just moved to San Diego!! From St. Louis!! She went from this Midwest crazy up and down heat to perfect, sunny, breezy SD! And, she is chronicling all the fun and misadventures that entails. She is one of the smartest women I know. She is currently studying for the California bar (her THIRD bar exam), starting a NEW job, beginning a NEW life with her NEW husband and their fantastic dog, Mason, who LOVES the beach and trying to get used to California lifestyle, cool ocean breeze and 40x the rent. If you want to know what CHANGE is all about or just read about her quirky interesting crazy life, check her out. And, say hi! As my worlds collide, I want to request that my lurkers come out of the shadows, and leave me some love! GOT RUCKUS? And, if YOU have a blog that I don't know about and would like to be included in any of my SPECIAL sections, LET ME KNOW! I am happy to link my readers together, so we can happily live in harmony! As for this page, keep in mind it will have a few changes COMING SOON, because ....you KNOW what's coming up!! In approximately 3 weeks, the first PRESEASON Colts game will be kicking OFF!! This is SO exciting for us, as Erich and I live for the Indianapolis Colts (and die if the need arises). This year's opener is the SEASON OPENING FOR THE ENTIRE NFL (as we WERE the SB Champions - have I mentioned that here??) and it is at HOME. Of course, Erich and I are attempting at getting cheap (or free) tickets for the exciting THURSDAY NIGHT BALLER FEST! THE COLTS start their official season SEPTEMBER 7, 2007!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLUE!! 7月14日 No MotivationAfter Blog Walking this a.m. I really wanted to write something funny and clever and tell you what has been going on, but I cannot seem to FIND THE MOTIVATION!! Isn't that just awful?? But, I'm going to try and muster something out to update everyone so that you might still come back to vist me. The Bronch I have been suffering from bronchitis for the last two weeks. After going five days with nothing but OTC crap that doesn't work, I went to the doc, got the diagnosis and took a Z-pack. Although I feel mucho better, there is still a snot bubble the size of Texas in the back of my throat. I usually spend my evenings attempting to "unclog" this bubble by "snotting" (i.e. pulling with my nose and throat as hard as I can to relieve the snot bubble of its home between my stomach and mouth). It sucks. For whatever reason, it will not break free most nights and I go to bed, sleep with my mouth wide open and breathe heavily, making a gurgling sound like a half dead fish floating near the surface of the water. It is REALLY attractive and works wonders to keep Erich from wanting to have sex with me. Vegas Erich and I are leaving for Vegas is just under TWO weeks. Apparently the Month of Marcie is only lasting those four days because this is the only thing we really have planned. I guess the older I get, the less important my birthday is. BOO to that. I'm a brat. I know this, man. I am totally pumped about Vegas though. It should be an awesome time. Any recs for shows we should see (that aren't $150 a person?). Resume Bee I have to say it's not going bad. I am actually pretty busy with this, which is probably where my blog time is absorbed. I have done several and really enjoy it. It makes people happy and that makes me happy and having the extra money is nice. The AC So our AC went out this week. That's right. CAPOOT! Indiana weather is accommodating us (amazingly) the best it can and cooled down to the mid-70s this week, but it doesn't mean that we aren't still cooking. It is NOT fixable. It is the original unit to our house and it needs to be replaced. Before Erich became a brilliant engineer, he worked with his uncles as an HVAC certified tech for THREE years, so he KNEW it was bad news. We got three quotes for a replacement unit, ALL of them being around or over $3,000!!! That is fucking ridiculous rip off. I dont' have to tell you that I questioned WHY Erich was still not doing HVAC. Seriously. If he could make $200/hr. servicing a fucking thing, WHY is he not doing that? What a ridiculous ripoff. Anyway, it ends up his uncle has a BRAND NEW unit we can buy from him at cost (thank goodness) and the guy is going to JUST charge us for labor ($400) so we are getting an all new unit and an impressive upgrade for under $1,000. Thank goodness, because this AC thing is driving us apart and fast. Yet, another reason sex is out of the question. We feel no need to sweat to death for a few minutes of fun. buwhahahaha! Can you tell that Erich doesn't read my blog anymore? This Weekend My cousin and her two BFFs are here. Melissa, Alex and Sarah. They are 18, 16, and 18. They are rowdy and fun. We spent the evening last night playing games and watching movies. Today we are going shopping and heading to a cook out. Tomorrow, I am driving them home. They LOVE hanging out with me in Indy. I guess because their hometown (and my hometown) has NOTHING in it. We are having a good time. I'm sure there will be pics. They seriously take pictures of EVERYTHING. It is hilarious! Being Married It has been five months. YOU KNOW. :) I'm glad we are surviving although some days, I wonder. JUST KIDDING!! Some days it is tough but each day, I love Erich more. I *think* he feels the same way. My Writing Ever since I committed to starting a story here, I have had Writer's Block. 'Nuf said. You'll know when I post something, as I'm sure I'll be soooo excited. OK, I think I have covered it all (even my sex life), so hopefully this blog finds you all well and happy and healthy. I miss my Spacies and will try to commit to being around more, blogging more and keeping in touch better. I hate being the sucky blog buddy. 7月9日 Re-release:The Resume Bee is STILL in business and is progressing slowly but surely. In an attempt to receive more hits, I have established my very own website! Please keep in mind it is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and constant updates and changes are being made, so check back often!
Please check out my new, revamped, overhauled website at:
And, send your friends there!! You NEVER KNOW who might be searching for the next best thing!
I really appreciate any help in getting my name out there, so pass it along to your friends and family!
And, if you have used my services, I am always adding additional (much needed) testimonials to my site!
THANKS and let me know what you think! 7月6日 IllThe Month of Marcie is off to a rough start.
Since last week, I have come down with a summer flu bug of some sort and upper respitory infection that is causing a lot of ruckus (but not good ruckus) in my life. Hence, no stories or blogs.
I have barely worked, let alone had time to write...
Just wanted to say hi though and I'll be back as soon as I hit up the doc office today! 7月2日 Reminder:Just in case you all don't know, JULY is the MONTH OF MARCIE.
My birthday is right around the corner and this year, it is GOLDEN!!
I will be 27 on 7-27-2007
Mark your calendars!
buwahahahaa! 6月26日 Question:Okay, ya'll!! To my Spacies, a question for you....
We all know I want to be a writer, right? Well, if you didn't, you do now. I'm interested in writing mostly contemporary romantic/dramatic fiction, similar to the likes of Helen Fielding and Bridget Jones Diary. I really want to take some time and make more time for my writing but for some reason, I can barely find time to BLOG!!
So...the question is, would you all be interested in me starting my book here?
Would you be willing to give me honest feedback either here or via email about my characters, likability, storyline, etc.?
The Snarks agreed awhile ago (but since they lurk here, it would be a double whammy for me).
The reason I ask is because I really want some honest feedback and a place to start something that I might be able to finish. My goal is a chapter a week or something like that. I have started many a story but have never let anyone read anything. I really need another set (or sets) of eyes and real people to read my stuff before I submit it.
I would love some suggestions on where to start. I would really like to incorporate some "facts" into my "fiction."
So, how would you all feel about reading a book here? I guess that is my question...
I will also blog about my life, as I have been, but I think it will give me the freedom to do both, get something together, based on YOUR feedback and then submit to an agent. Sounds scary (my biggest fear is total rejection!) but I really want to get this going this summer and this way...I sort of have DEADLINES with editors who can help keep me in line!
Let me know how you all would feel about this! HONESTLY! 6月15日 My Cake is FAMOUS!!Just when you thought that there could be NO MORE ABOUT MY WEDDING....
The Special PEOPLE EXTRA REAL LIFE WEDDINGS edition pops onto news stands everywhere ....
And....MY CAKE IS INDIANA'S CAKE!!
Amy Hans of www.sliceofheavencakery.com did my gorgeous cake that complimented our night perfectly!
Check it out in the mag or at this link:
 Clearly...as usual...I am excited!! |
I have my DREAM job as a Certified Travel Concierge and Beach Bum working for Beach Bum Vacation, the same fabulous folks who planned my wedding! I'm now doing what I love best...destination weddings, honeymoons and dream vacations!
