Just a quick note because it's Sunday night and I've spent my day reading, exercising and having coffee dates (two of them, if you must know, because I am one of those people other people like to have coffee with).
Despite the fact that I would rather be finishing my book than blogging and that Geekster is making it difficult to focus because he keeps talking to me when he knows I'm doing something very important, I will post something. I vowed to write 365 posts in 365 days, and The Maven keeps her promises.
Also, I must congratulate my sister on her announcement today - via Facebook, no less, which makes it very official - that she has moved in with her boyfriend, Chemgineer.
That being said, I am somewhat concerned with how quickly things are moving ahead with them. They seem to be leaping into something they might not be ready for. Moving in together is a huge step and should not be taken lightly. It shouldn't be "Hey, you're hot. Want to shack up?", or "I like Seinfeld and you like Seinfeld and it's on every night, so why not just live here and only use one t.v.? It's important to think of the environment, you know."
Their relationship has been very much like that: Wham, bam, move in with me, ma'am.
So, Photo Lush, who is my dear sister, I hope you're going to be careful and not jump into everything so quickly in your life. This isn't play time, kiddo. This is a serious commitment.
You can't just decide you're going to live with someone after only dating for five years. How can you know him well enough in that short amount of time to make a decision like that?
I hate to say it, but it's people like you that make relationships into a fly-by-night production. You cheapen them with your need for instant gratification and desire to play house. Don't come crying to me when you realize that his his hair is brown, or that he likes gross bands like Coldplay. You should have taken the time to learn these things about him before being so rash. I see a string of heartbreaks in your future the way you're going, missy.
But what can I do? I can only lead by example. Being the eldest sibling, I have to set the standard for how to do things right. And I have, of course. Was there ever any doubt? Geekster and I took a full month to get to know each other before we signed a lease and moved in together.
So there.
