My Massage Convert

I have always been a sucker for massages.  Even as teenagers, my sister and I would take turns giving each other a back massage.  If I remember correctly, she did it pretty well while I would find ways to excuse myself.  Lucky me – I was the older sister!
Anyhow, I did not get [...]

And That’s How The Fight Started…

Thanks to Facebook Notes, I had a good laugh today. So married couples, how do fights start? Read on and let this post make your day!
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’
I bought her [...]

Taking Compromise To A Whole New Level

I think that’s what’s happening right now.  We’re both tired.  We’re both wanting things to go the way we want.  We’re both trying to get what we want.  In many little ways, they’re different.  But the ultimate goal remains the same.  Hence the unspoken compromises we make along the way.
We’re making headway.  One day at [...]

Having Your Own Set of Friends

In many respects, I think that J and I do not have a “normal” relationship. We have so many differences and we approach life in such different ways that I think we sometimes defy what a “normal” marriage should be. Then again, what is normal and what is not? This could all [...]

Lost in Translation?

I don’t even know if that title is apt but J said some thing that just cracked me up the other night. We were going to sleep and were having one of those inane conversations that we often have. I forget what it is exactly that we were talking about but I do [...]

When Snoring Keeps You Awake

In the movies, you never see the woman staying up all night because the man in her life is snoring happily away.  It always starts out with the romantic night, sweet nothings, passionate lovemaking, and then a night of blissful sleep.  And why did I ever think that that would be the case in real [...]

Feminist Jokes: Happy Women’s Month!

This is a cross-post from my personal blog. One of my friends sent these jokes via e-mail, and I just couldn’t help but share it with you. Here’s to a funny/fun week!
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweat- Shirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, [...]

Why You SHOULDN’T Get Married

Last night, we were out with some friends, and the hubby had had a drink too much. You know how it is when people get a bit tipsy – they get freer with their words and tend to let slip some ideas that may not come up when they are sober. Anyhow, one [...]
