It's the last day of the Pantone spring color challenge. It's been a fun week, I'm sad to see it's over. Anyway today's color is poppy red, so I had no doubt in my mind that I'd be wearing my favorite red jeans. I added this fun new nautical themed shirt from Old Navy, I tried to get a close up of the print, it has little anchors all over it, but the pictures didn't turn out, darn it!
So I've seen a few bloggers participating in a "Blog Every Day in May" challenge hosted by Story of My Life the Blog. I missed the first two days, but I love a good challenge like this, especially when I've had some writers block as of late, so I may jump in with some of these writing prompts. The first day was the story of my life in 250 words or less - I might do that sometime but not today. The second day was blog about something you're good at - again, I might do that another day too. Today is "What makes you uncomfortable." There are probably multiple things I could think of, but I'll use a good example right now - sleeping in my bed by myself. I do not sleep well in our bed when the Pants Monkey isn't there. I haven't had this opportunity much in the 7 years we've been married and it's funny, if he gets up before me on a day I have off of work or something I'm fine, but to go to bed at night without him there? It feels weird, I need the weight and the warmth from his body to fall asleep. We're not even cuddly sleepers, so I don't even mean to sound sappy, I honestly just need the weight of him next to me, that's all. So last night I attempted to make a substitute Pants Monkey out of pillows and blankets. It kind of helped. Two more nights. I can make it!

Tonight I have some fun plans with some blogger friends for a sushi happy hour after work, so I'm looking forward to that. I have a few other things on tap for my weekend too that should help me miss Mr. Monkey less! If only I could make that bed more comfortable without him!
