Blog or Muse?

Chet is funny.
I think this blog is starting to give me some new insight into his psyche. New insight is hard to come by when you've known someone for 17 years! Yup, you heard me right, 17 years! That number still boggles my mind, by the way! I met him when I was 15 years old and I turn 32 in a few months. At this point, I've known him longer than I haven't known him. Gees, we're getting old!

Anyway, I'm probably going to ruin everything I'm about to tell you because he will read this eventually and then he'll be wise to me. Oh well, I have to say it anyway. Actually, let me just give you an example. Last night when he got home from work he told me that he was going to start working on "the playroom". WHAT? GREAT!

For those who have been to our house, you know that "the playroom" is actually our oversized, 4th bedroom. It's like 2 rooms in 1. Anyway, this room is a real piece of work! The room was last occupied by a pre-teen and she had stuff hung up everywhere. She must have had an aversion to things on her floors. Tons of shelves, a TV, pictures, CD racks...all hung up! Her father was not a handy man and we think he literally ripped it off the walls when they moved out. Then to make matters much worse, he put a ton of the wrong kind of cement- putty- stuff all over the place...glopped it on everywhere! So basically, Chet has to go in there and undo all the wrong that was done and sand and sand and putty and prime and paint, etc. A real pain in the tush room, it is not a small job. Now, Chet has always liked to tackle big projects like this one in the winter months...he even once mentioned hiring this room out (scoff, not Chet!). Needless to say, this room has not been on my radar at all!

Back to my point about the "new insight". When he came home last night and dropped his bomb, it all seemed a bit strange to me. We already sorta have a lot going on. Maybe he needs to re-read my last post...70% effaced, 1 cm dilated? Could it have been my post, 365 days, that gave him a little kick-start? Did realizing it had been a year give him a boost? Did seeing all we've done in writing do it? Is it possible that the blog is serving as a muse for him??? hmmm. It would be kinda like the lists...they really get him going. I dunno...this is just a theory, folks.

All theories aside, he did start the room last night! Yup- he really did!
Ya know, on second thought, maybe all this nesting is just rubbing off on him?
