When is it too much?

Before I get into my post, I just thought I'd put a little update of my growth. THis is actually about 25 weeks, so 4 weeks ago. I think I have grown since then, but this is the most updated picture I have. And I always Wondered why pregnant woman take their own pictures of themselves. Until I realized that at least for me, I get spence to take a pic, then I look at it, and i'm like.nope,do another one. and this process is repeated about 10 times till he refuses to take another picture, and then I'm stuck with the reflected bathroom shot of myself. so ENJOY.



this next part of my post is dedicated to spence. I am not writing this post to tease him, but to ask when is it too much?

I'll start with the gaming. Spencer's usually pretty good about gaming just when he has time. If there is studying to do, he can be pretty focused and has really surprised me this year with sometimes going weeks without gaming if he needs to. So I"m not really talking about the actual playing aspect of this. I'm talking about how serious video games are taken in our household.



When we were moving I was going through some old binders, and I was so confused. Sport stats from '98, '99 and so on all organized neatly into these little black binders. When I asked spence about them he casually was like''oh those are my video game stats' and when I then suggested maybe it was time to get rid of them, he said no. we needed to keep them. Why? i have no idea. so now we have a box of old video game stats in the basement. I'm glad that now technology has improved and his video game stat spreadsheets are now all on a flash drive and don't have to take up space

Then today I'm in the basement looking for tax info and going through our bills to find it, and I find this box full of files. So I take it out thinking it will probably have some things I need in it, and I start going through. Each file is neatly labled and there are no loose papers anywhere. I start reading the titles, 'Fantasy Football', 'Fantasy Baseball', 'Fantasy Basketball'..etc. Each file had neatly stapled documents printed out from sport sites. He even had a file that had tabs in it! TABS!

And I'm sitting there looking at this box so organized, and then over at our filing system (which is pretty much the opposite) thinking mmmm....if only I could get him to spent that much attnetion to detail in other things. haha.

I guess I just never knew that people can be so particular about video games or fantasy sports. I thought they just played a little bit, and then forgot about it. Not my husband. I actually had to laugh when I saw his fantasy stuff today. But I can see where he gets his focus from, and how when he really wants to, he can do a really good job of anything that he puts his mind to. I guess if it makes you happy, go for it, right?
