Make it a double.....

So - this is Beth - I just want to share my thoughts on the word "double". When someone says "Make it a double", they are looking for lots of booze. This can signify a bad day or the desire for a really good night (followed by a bad morning). What does "double" mean to you? Well, I can tell you that my definition has changed drastically. When someone says double, I think of sleepless nights. To all of you wonderful Americans, spend one night with your spouse in a double bed. Most of you wouldn't even consider this as you lie in your king sized bed. But, let me tell you, it's a wonderful bonding experience. I love my wife more with each passing day because we have become ONE during the night :)

This brings me to my next word "wall". When I (and probably most) think about sleeping next to the wall, I think 'trapped', 'cold', what if I have to pee? But, when 'double' is present, 'wall' becomes a necessity. I would like to give my wall a shout out as it has kept me in the bed for the past 11 nights. When in a double bed, two people barley fit. So, while one tries to hog the entire bed, the other is still guaranteed a place to sleep. I now love my wife AND the wall.

My next word is snoring - apparently this is something I'm rather good at (please see the 2am blog from JaNae the other night). My better half decided not to throw me under the bus on her blog, so I'm doing it to myself. Everyone who is/has been/will be sleeping with someone every night should not be shocked by my blog. If you are thinking "we don't have any funny quirks" or "wow, they hate sleeping together", think again. You obviously need to have a conversation with your partner as you are likely the HOG.....I'm just throwing it out there. Anyway, these are the things I enjoy most about being married. We understand each others flaws and still love the heck out of each other.

Shout out to my wife for being patient and shout out to my wall for keeping me safe.
