Ten Things You Won't Hear Me Say

I saw this on another BLOG and I thought it was a hoot.

TEN THINGS YOU WILL NOT HEAR ME SAY (and to which I regularly say the opposite):

10) Oh, good, I'm up half a pound. I've been looking a tad bit scrawny lately.
9) Babe, could you let that back hair grow in a little? It makes you look really macho.
8) Brainy Boy, skip brushing your teeth today. Your front teeth look great with that white gunk all over them.
7) Little Chic, don't bother clipping back your grown-out bangs. I love it when it hangs down the front of your face and hides your baby blues.
6) Feel free to leave your books and papers on the kitchen table--it's so handy right here by the front door.
5) I met Kickboxer Buddy for breakfast yesterday so I really shouldn't spend the time or money to go with you for lunch today.
4) I'm really too tired to read in bed before I go to sleep.
3) I'll just get up a little earlier in the morning to throw that extra load of laundry in.
2) Hero Guy, don't wash your medic pants at the station--I look forward to dealing with the bodily fluids of complete strangers.
1) I'm kind of in a hurry this morning. I'll just skip my morning cup of coffee.

Hey! My hubby loved your ten things! Since this is so new to me I love "blogging" with a New Yorker! Ya know we Texans tend to forget about the rest of the world. That's wrong, but true. My bro. is moving to NC so I "googled" it and found how stunning and gorgeous it is! Of course, I have been out of Texas, but blah, blah, blah, I just think it's fun chatting with you! Anyways~how did you link my site to yours through the word "BLOG"? Too complicated for an email? Don't fret, just let me know if it is easy. Later!

Too Close For Comfort

Depressing: Def., "Realizing that you and your Dearly Beloved are entirely to close to wearing the same pant size. Case in point - Hero Guy came ' har har-ing' out of the bedroom relating that he had accidentally been wearing a pair of my jeans for the last 15 minutes. He wondered why they felt so weird (translated - TIGHT) until he took them off and inspected the tag. He gloated that at least he knows he can fit into a Ladies Size ___ (you really think I'm going to tell you the number?!). My Observations: 1) He had a MONSTER wedgie, so the jeans were entirely too small for him. 2) They are my "fat" jeans, a size bigger than what I actually wear, but I just like the broken-in feeling of them. Or the roominess or something. 3) They were the stretchy kind of jeans, so an elephant could have painted itself into them. 4) What's he bragging about having a girlish figure for anyway? Not very macho if you ask me. Hmph.

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha

Mixed Feelings

It's been a long time in coming, but as of this morning, I'm no longer a medical transcriptionist. I'm not sure how I feel about that...a little bit relieved, a little bit sad, a lot bit uncertain about whether I'll regret this decision. For the last year or so, I've found that the transcription work isn't fulfilling the need I once had to stay at home with my babies and have an income. I've increasingly felt that I need more interaction and less monotony. I've also felt the pressure of work that constantly needs to be done, with no sense of ever being really "finished." No matter how much work you've done for the day, there's always another note waiting to be transcribed. That goes for sick days, holidays, vacations days or any kind of days. This year, I've dabbled in substituting as a school monitor and office staff, and kind of found my niche in the last few weeks. I'll be working a couple of hours a day in one of the
