Today's post is basically going to be "getting to know me" and why I decided to do this blog. I posted in a previous blog post about Hubby's reaction to my thoughts about attempting a blog. (Personally I think he's still a bit skeptical about the whole thing.) It's not that he doesn't really think I can DO it, it's just that he KNOWS me...and knows how I am. Being an agoraphobic, I rarely leave my home. So, what could I possibly have to write about?? I don't really see that many people except for immediate family members. We don't go out like "regular" couples would for a night out. I won't even ride in a vehicle with him anymore unless it's a dire emergency. If I have a doctor appointment, most of the time, it's cancelled and rescheduled before I work up enough nerve to finally GO. I no longer drive because of the severe anxiety. My doctor has tried just about every known pill there is to try and help me. I know it has to be hard on Hubby, putting up with a wife like me. But then again, hey, I put up with him, right?? When we got married we vowed to TRY to make each other a better person. I made him promise he'd get his GED (which he did!!..so very proud of him!) and since I'm hearing~disabled, he made me promise I would get hearing aids. I was always so afraid people would make even more fun of me if they could SEE the hearing aids so I would never even THINK of getting any. But, I did and it was truly the best thing that ever happened to me. My agoraphobia is the reason I "Facebook" a lot and have decided to do a blog. I have a NEED to be with people...to see people...but I just can't. I wish my "online friends" and family members, only knew how much they all mean to me, just knowing that every day that I wake up, and come to sit in front of this computer... that they'll be here. While Hubby and I might not do all the things "normal" people do, if nothing else, at least we do keep each other thoroughly entertained! I'm Edith to his Archie ... and the Alice to his Ralph...hence the reference in this blog's title. I LOVE watching the "stats" page of this blog, it lets me know many visitors have stopped by and I was so excited just watching the numbers go up and up. I was telling Hubby about how many hits I received for one day and he was like..."Well that's good...now go get me a cup of coffee!". I dramatically tossed my hair back as I slicked down an eyebrow and said "I don't HAVE to get your coffee anymore, cuz I'M A STAR now"...he said.." Oh yeah??!!...Well, you're gonna be on the MOON if you don't go get me my coffee!" :) Happy Wednesday, my friends! For those that come back tomorrow, I have a special treat that I think you'll love..my first recipe post :)....Thanks for stopping by!
Be good and be pretty and as always.... ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
