Wedded Wednesday: Bromance

According to the Urban Dictionary, bromance is a close relationship between to straight males. This subject came to mind after spending time with my husband while he was recuperating from his illness. I realized that he was on the phone quite often.  First I thought that he was talking to his mom, since I know she calls during the day. After awhile I realized that the he was speaking to his best friend. 10:00am, 1:00pm and sometimes in the evening he was on the phone. It seemed like they had a schedule going on, which I thought was strange. When I began to listen to the conversations, they really were not talking about anything important, but were talking about what some of things their friends had done, what they were watching on TV and what they had did that day.  Then I began to get annoyed, since I was thinking that  I was in the house and he could just talk to me. I just assumed that since my hubby and I work different schedules, they have been doing this forever and I just never knew about it. I just found it odd, which I do not know why since I know that he is really close to his best friend.

When did a close relationships between to male friends become a bromance, instead of  being called homies, best friends or buddies?  Once I got over my initial annoyance with him being on the phone, I realized that I do the same thing. I talk or text to my friends through out the evening, so why should I be annoyed with him for doing it. Women can be close without any additional questions, but men have to be questioned about their relationships. I think it is funny to have a name for it....what is next womanance? Friends,  male/male or female/female, to me are just called friends, just like we learned when we children.

Does your husband have a bromance or just a really good friend?

oh hubby has a bromance, haha ... so funny! i think he might actually have more than one bromance too! i am on the phone or texting my gfs all through out the day so i don't think much of it. it was just so funny for me in the beginning to see how Sean was close to his best friends. but i guess when you've known someone since you were little boys, it happens.

This is an awesome post! Hubby does have a bromance but he leaves out of town and is always busy so it makes life a little less annoying because when they talk, it can be loud!!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
