Hard Earned Money

Today I got a phone call.

It was Jeffrey.

He had been studying for a test he needs to take for work, and was getting a little fried by it.

So he did what any husband would do.

He called me with a question.

"Would you like to play a game?" he asked.

"What kind of game?" I asked dubiously.

I rarely want to play his games.

He is the master stratigo.

I am the master of luck games.

"Oh, you'll like it," he promises "it is a mix of Candy Land, Monolopy, and Clue."

"I'm intrigued" I say intrigued.

He then goes on to explain that in order to buy the property you have to solve a murder that happened there, and you do so by luckily drawing the right colored card.

Another time he was working we had a conversation on hybrid movies.

What do you or your honey do while at work during the slow times?

Wow sounds like an interesting game. My husband doesn't get bored at work, apparently. I guess it is his dream job. On my blog, it says your current post is "Can't smile without you". But on here is says Hard Earned money. I was just wanting to hear how you couldn't smile without me. Darn, what disappointment grips my heart.

Sorry about that confusion. i was trying to figure out how to post "Our Song" *sigh* on the sidebar, and since I needed the html code, I made a post of it, but I deleted the post. If you want to hear "Our Song" *sigh* just mosey on over to the right sidebar and click on play!

I get huge e-mails containing e-mails between Pedro and some of his co-worker friends. They talk about the weirdest things sometimes! And they go on Forever! I'm just thinking 'so this is what you do at work all day.' Hmmm.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
