Monica.

I am borderline obsessed with Friends. I have seen every episode at least four times and Garth and I are constantly quoting from it. When we get a dog, we are naming him Chandler. And the only movie I would ever wait in line all night to see at the theater would be Friends. And I desperately hope they make a Friends movie!!! Told you I was obsessed.

So, I'm sure you have all watched it and wondered which character you would be. I always wished I was Rachel, she's fun and has amazing hair. But I'm Monica in the sense that I'm pretty extreme about cleaning. There was ONE fork in the sink and I just had to clean it. Garth was like, "really is that necessary?" But it was. I cannot sleep if the kitchen is dirty or clutter on the counter. It's disgusting, I know.

I'm trying to get better at it. I'll never forget wise words from a friend of mine. Her brother's wife had passed away during childbirth and she said to me, "It just really makes you realize the important things in life. I'm okay leaving dishes in the sink if it means I can spend more time with my husband. You just really don't know how much time you have."

Wow. This really hit me. I don't want to spend so much time obsessing over something so trivial and forget the important things. I'm trying to make it more balanced and to let it go. It's a challenge, but I'm getting better. But that is why I have Garth to help me out. I went in the kitchen for a pop, and when I didn't come back for 10 minutes Garth came in to find me scrubbing the floors. But seriously, I'm getting beter about it.
