*ROTFL* Poor Santa! And poor husband! I hate planning parties or keeping secrets, so I feel his pain….but that’s some funny stuff. *LOL*

Kelly, Ashton Kutcher probably wouldn’t be bad. He does have nice abs and a pretty smile. Eeeeww about Screech…good reference. Ick. I could list some more. *LOL* I’ll get right on Lucy’s book…poor guy is dying to have his own side of the story for a change!

Hellion, there are way worse things things than waking up married to Ashton Kutcher.lol. But I see what you mean. I certainly don’t want wake up with someone resembeling Screech from Saved by the Bell!
Oh, also, I want to read that book about Lucifer!!

I’ve been married for 22 years now and we’ve been together 27 years. I’ve known him for more than half my life. He greets me with ‘Hello beautiful’ every morning. He says the same thing to the dog but he says it to me first.

I love him with all my being but there are some things for which he has no talent whatsoever.

He is also terrible at keeping secrets like bridal and baby showers. My friends called an emergency meeting when I was getting married to discuss my bridal shower. Wait a minute. I’m supposed to be surprised. No, he couldn’t make it. My sil, my maid of honor, kept changing the date she was available. Most of the invitations had white out all over them.

It took one phone call that went something like this: I don’t care! Find coverage for your shift, tell your sister to tell her friend to pick a F-bomb wedding date and stick to it.

I had to pretend to be surprised.

Fast forward to my baby shower. My husband just flat out told me about it because he couldn’t take the pressure of keeping it from me. Okay, I can handle that. We were married 10 years at this point. We get to the place and half our friends and some family aren’t there. I was disappointed and asked where they were. It turns out he made copies of only one side of each page in our address book to give my friends who were sending out the invitations.

I’ve forbidden him from ever having anything else to do with any party, gathering or meeting that features me as the guest of honor. He is to hand over the whole address book should someone lose their head and give me a surprise party.

He is definitely not in charge of calling to let them know when I go to meet my Maker.

Kelly, be careful what you say: people who say they don’t expect marriage wake up in Vegas going, “Who are you and why am I wearing a wedding ring?” Then you’ll have to do that marriage counseling thing like in that Ashton Kutcher movie.

Maggie: Your stories about your husband are so sweet! It’s funny you started writing to make the ideal “man”…

Ely, I’d swear we were separated at birth if you weren’t 3 years younger.

Q–I love the divide and conquer strategy. Teamwork…and I could so use a guy who was good in investment. So long as his idea of investing was by buying a bunch of Powerball lottery tickets and hoping we’d win. I am thinking something a bit more practical though perhaps a small gamble. *LOL* (Is there such a thing as a small gamble? Hmmm.)

I love the irony of Apple Blossoms. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Hmmm…

Jordan: *LOL* That’s so what I would do too! But I’m pretty crabby without sleep. Hell, I’m pretty crabby WITH sleep.

Melissa: Good plan!! I’ll have to look up that book. I’ve got to change my expectations about men. They can be romantic…but it’s rarely the Hollywood gesture (unless you can date a Leo…they seem to love Hollywood gestures)…and it’s RARELY the guy you want the romantic gesture from. *LOL* Women’s expectations are funny things. 99% of the time we don’t even know what our own expecations are…

Julie, I’m only a pessimist because none of the married men belonged to a religion where it was legal to have more than one wife. What good is a marriage proposal if I can’t marry the guy? It’s impossible to catch these married men between wives.

Renee & Terri: That is an EXCELLENT point about Eve. Though technically my story starts with Adam & Eve’s divorce…so here they’ve spent all their lives together (and afterlife together)–and now they’re going to live without each other. Basically I’m trying to write a reunion story. How can you find common ground with someone you’re sworn to loathe? Or, harder, how do find common ground and like with someone you didn’t respect anymore (or believe you didn’t respect)? Though I don’t know if A&E don’t respect each other…I think it’s more Irish’s thing about familiarity breeding contempt.

I might have to work that angry asshole line into the story. I can see Adam actually saying that…and with all those babies, SOMEBODY had to help deliver them. *LOL*

You ARE a pessimist, Hellion. You Really are! You need to start looking on the Bright Side of things. You should be HAPPY that the collection of proposals you’ve received have been from married men. Gosh, I’d be Happy if I were getting proposals from married men. Don’t agree with my pov? Then look at my last post under the blog titled “Conference Afterglow!”

Jordan – that’s hilarious! And the baby is up all night? I’m so sorry. I hope you’re getting some sleep somewhere.
