Marriage Joke

I got this tonight from my niece. I got quite a chuckle out of it.

~

Typical macho man married typical good-looking lady and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules:

“I’ll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want-and I don’t expect any hassle from you I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won’t be home for dinner. I’ll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don’t you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?”

His new bride said, “No, that’s fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o’clock every night… whether you’re here or not.”

Life is super busy right now, so… highlights:

* Two weeks of class under my belt now – going great
* Joined Adam’s karate class this week – ow.
* Working on a major redesign of the QuiltIndex site – challenging, frustrating, fun, exciting, getting close to done.
* Housework – uh. Moving on.
* Homeschooling – still going great.
* Project with Mike – he’s almost done, I’m not working on it anymore (long story, way too long for a quick update). Hopefully, a new project for me will be there in October.
* Kayla’s dance class – She. Loves. It. And if there’s anything cuter than a 4-year-old in a leotard and dance skirt, well, I haven’t seen it.
* Scrapbooking – None. Nil. Zip. I miss it. October, maybe?

“Mama, if you were the first Dragon Master, you would be able to communicate with the Griffins, thereby understanding their needs!” – Adam, age 6

What, did you know how to use the word “thereby” appropriately when you were six? I damn sure didn’t!

Why, I’m glad you asked!



Starting Monday, I will be “attending” (via internet course) Spokane Community College. I’m taking Graphic Design for the Web. I’m so excited! Will be interesting to see how well I juggle this, and kids, and business, and … well, you get the idea. But I’m so hyped about this!! I’ve been sort of secretly wanting to go back to school for years. Finishing my degree isn’t really my prime objective at this point – I want to take classes that will help me in my business, and maybe eventually take classes purely for fun. That’s allowed, right?

You know how people always tell you that you have to accept people for what they are? That you can’t change them? Well, that’s crap. People do change, and that change is influenced by the people around them. Think about it – weren’t you changed by some of the relationships you’ve held? I know I have. And I know I’ve influenced people in my life, too.

An example: when I met him online, Mike was a confirmed non-breeder. The man was simply NOT going to have children. Period. Now we have four. Now he is a father, and really good at it.

Some changes are big, and some are small. Some people are more “moldable” than others. But people absolutely do influence each other. That isn’t to say I think girls should go into a relationship with some big asshole and expect to turn him into a prince. But can you encourage him to put the toilet seat down or enjoy the rodeo? Sure. Maybe.

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an’ fall
When you can’t lean on no one else:
That’s when you find yourself.
I’ve been around an’ I’ve noticed that
Walkin’s easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol’ hills’ll get you every time.
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb.

So, let me get this straight… a teacher can be considered highly qualified according to standards that include “job evaluations, teaching awards or service on school committees”, and some people are concerned about the level of education our children will receive when home-schooled?

Yaknow, I’m really loving this as a “don’t fuck with me” song. Probably helps that Carrie Underwood reminds me a LOT of my niece, Candice.

Before He Cheats
Carrie Underwood

Right now he’s probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp, and she’s probably getting frisky.
Right now, he’s probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can’t shoot whiskey.

Right now, he’s probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo.

And he don’t know

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4-wheel drive,
Carved my name into his leather seat.
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats.

Making a Deal With the Devil

Tags: social networking

So I signed up at MySpace. A friend prompted me to do it, after he found a third, mutual friend there, and I wanted to see said friend’s profile, and I had to be a member for that. Since then, I’ve re-met several people I went to school with, and several that I dated.

To be honest, the whole thing makes me sad. Most people (probably me, included) aren’t who they once were. They don’t look the same, the jobs they hold now aren’t what they expected at 18 that they’d have, their interests aren’t the same. At least two are born-again Christians. I’m not sad for these people, mind you – by and large they seem to be happy and successful and well-adjusted, and really, who can ask for more than that?

But I’m sad because I find I miss them. I didn’t keep close to anyone after graduation, except my very oldest friend in the world (and even we aren’t as close as I’d like), so all of this new...
