SEEKING WISDOM

bE mArRied....

Yes... I'm married now... i mean.... really married! It's been almost 2 months. I'll put our picture on here when i have the time. Married life is a bit strange to me... being married is especially strange to me... For me.. it is literally.. a life-changing experience... Let me make this clearer to you...

I woke up this morning... and just like any other morning.... i woke up and i can hear my brain saying to my body... JUST 1 MORE MINUTE.... so my hands snapped the snooze button on my alarm... i think i can hear my husband's brain talks the same thing to his. But finally after half an hour later (felt like only 2 minutes ago), i woke up... and then went to open the doors for the dogs, then stood in front of 3... let me say that again.. THREE piles of un-ironed clothes (this bothers me.. althought it never did... hmm.. wonder why..). After sometime, i finally picked a shirt, went to the shower, then get dressed, do my hair and make up, wake my husband up, then get ready to go and catch the bus to work.

Now, let me tell you something MAJOR about me... I DON'T LIKE COOKING! Unlike my lil' sis, she likes cooking and is part of her daily routine to discuss with my grandma what they are going to cook for dinner. Friends from church especially the mums and wives, always said to me, you better get ready and learn how to cook! You have to feed your husband... (especially knowing that my husband's the type that LOVES TO EAT!! and to make it worst... He's been living with his mum for the past 26 years and enjoy very good cooking!!) So... they said to me.. you'll be in trouble if you can't cook! My answer to them is always.... "Easy! I'll order catering every 2-3 days! Sometimes from my own mother in law... sometimes from other people...^_^! Or, if my husband is fussy about what he's eating.. he can cook for himself! Or better yet... it's the new age! Why can't husband cook for their wives instead??!!" That's what i always say and I was serious about my answer because i always see myself as a career-wife and never a housewife...

NOW I'M MARRIED!!! You know what's so strange about it?!! It's like there's a automatic button in my brain that once it detected a status change in life, like.. "now married" it sort of thinks for its own. All i can think of is what to cook for dinner!!!! Seriously....!!!!! All I can think of on my way home from work is "did we still have chicken to cook for tonight?!" Or.."i think there's spam in the fridge that i can use for dinner" or... "i still have time to run to the supermarket to buy some ribs and salad for dinner..."

............AMAZING!!!.........although.. a little bit... scaaarrryy...

So, i'm still trying to figure out what's happening to me... is it the way it is suppose to be? Is this what God has intended for EVERY WOMAN?? Or am I just having fun experimenting with different role in my life? Will I come back to the old me? Will my husband ever cook for me?!!!! The answer is... I don't know.... but what i know is... I'm sort of having fun and enjoying it...^_^ Oh well...


....Hmm... I think I'll cook pasta tonight...
