13 months ago I was in bliss. Yes it is true, ignorant bliss... that was my state. Then Jams moves here and brings this concept called assessment. Now it pops up in conversations, work, and dating life. I have to admit it is really difficult when you realize that you are fitting a man into a six-column model.
So proof I hang out with my roommate too much. I was trying to decide if I should cut/color my hair and almost posted a survey on Facebook for people to fill out. Can you do assessment on hair? Is there a pyramid for that? Six-column model?
goal... change my hair
method... color and cut
outcome... cuter me
how will I know I reached my goal... random men telling me I'm cute
I'm no good at this assessment sh..tuff. Help Jams!

Dull Existance
So this blog has been really dull lately... mostly due to the fact that we haven't been writing much. It is not that Ace and Jammie are getting boring... nope, nope, nope.... it is that we are out there busily enjoying the many joys of life. Okay... reality check... Ace and Jams have funny things happen but really they both have kind of boring lives. Seriously this is what a typical week holds...
1)Work. Jams does it, Ace looks for it. Well gratefully "Banana Man" (used to be referred to as one part of C2) has employed Ace so that she isn't in the depths of pathetic-jobless-bum, instead she is a part-time pathetic bum. Jams, of course, regularly see's Samc Hurst for her job addiction and work-o-holic tendencies. They say that admitting the problem is the first step to recovery. But yes, the majority of the adventures of Ace and Jammie take place at work. And I wouldn't so much call them adventures but more along the lines of filterless conversations. If that doesn't make sense to you... well be grateful!
2) Working out... or what I refer to as a slow and painful death. Going to the gym is now becoming a regular part of every day life. Spin class, lifting weights, walking around the lake... and the much dreaded bootcamp. I'm not sure if this is actually a benefitial use of time... cause Jams is increasingly getting stronger which means when I say dumb things and she punches me in the arm.. it hurts!!! I bruise.
3) Cooking... Ace and Jams really like food. Really with how much we like food we should be the size of a small house. each. Ace is no cook. I'll readily admit my own weaknesses. (I actually kind of have a fear of people not liking what I cook and get nervous, so I just don't do it). But every once in a while I throw together a mean dish of mac n' cheese, from a box. I did make cookies once too... Cross-stitch boy at work ate them all and he didn't die so I think they were okay. But in reality Jams kicks-a at cooking. I will fully admit that I am the one you should vote off the island if we all get stranded on one someday... cause I'm pretty sure Jams could make an awesome meal out of island monster and coconuts. Just saying... she is that good.
4) Rockband... there are moments, not many, that Ace and Jammie are at home, not working, not working out and not cooking. In those moments one of us will say... ROCKBAND! We actually have a band that is pretty smoking... the Skiing Cheetos... a name made up of two of the greatest things... skiing and cheetos (yum). We practice for the next chance we have to take on Banana Sh*s and T-Bone. There band thinks they are better than us... ha!
So see, Ace and Jammie lead a pretty dull existance. What is there to blog about when all you do is work, workout, cook and play rockband?

Ever wonder who does the cleaning around here?
So, Ace and Jams have spent a lot of quality time together here lately. They spent their entire Yellowstone trip determining how they are different. For instance, Jams thinks everything needs pepper (not salt, ick) while Ace thinks everything needs salt. Jams could eat breakfast food 24/7 while Ace is ok without breakfast. Ace is melodramatic and Jams is sarcastic. We do, in fact, have tons of these little differences. Tonight, I have found another.
After a long, tiring day of slaving away at work, Ace and Jams came home to watch a Harry Potter marathon in order to catch up before the new movie is released on Wednesday. Jams stops on the way home, and picks up the ingredients to make fajitas for dinner. Ace arrives home just in time for dinner (ok, maybe she cut up the onions and peppers), and they sit down to watch Harry Potter. A few minutes into the movie, Jammie decides to give Youshi a bath. Then, after blow-drying him, she vacuums, dusts, cleans the bathroom, the mirrors, the counters, etc. Because, clearly, once you start cleaning it's difficult to stop. All the while, Ace is hard at work....playing Rock Band. Yes, this is where the difference lies. Ace works hard (at playing Rock Band) and Jammie works hard too (at cooking, cleaning, etc). I definitely think Jams is the abused one in this friendship.
