Let me start by saying that I love my husband dearly and for the most part he is a mild-mannered man, BUT….. Nothing is more likely to reduce me to a quivering bag of nerves than the appearance of the dreaded ‘Toolbox’, a contraption that seems to get bigger each year as my husband likes [...]
I’ve accepted that women no longer find me irresistible. But men? Really?
Saturday I screamed the F-word at my husband. Twice. The two expletives may or may not have been connected to “what the…” and “…you!” In my defense I thought that BECAUSE OF HIM we were going to miss the one train out of The Grand Canyon where we’d enjoyed ourselves for three days with our [...]
We all know that baldness is caused by an extra dose of testosterone, the manly hormone. So bald men are, literally, more manly than your average fully haired model. Tough guy wannabes know this. This is why they shave their heads, to imitate their more manly brothers. Close cropped, shiny topped, horseshoe-headed or all gone, [...]
So there I am, holding the door of a convenience store for an attractive young lady. Probably 25-ish. Now, I’m a happily married, 40-year-old type, but it turns out that I still have eyes, so I’m prone to noticing such figures of loveliness. Not in perv way, mind you, as I’m not “that guy” who [...]
Using Up All Romance in the Engagement – In Bali for a vacation, I scheduled a helicopter to take us a remote beach where we were totally alone for an hour. Then, I waited until minute 59 to actually pull the ring out of my shorts and propose. You can’t go up from there. It’s all [...]
Ah Spring Break! When I was a teacher, I looked forward to it. Three months without any break to speak of and a week off was more than welcome. Now that I’ve been a stay-at-home/work-at-home parent for more than ten years, I have changed my tune ever so slightly. My kids have some, errrr, challenges. [...]
Twin A sits on the stairs and “reads” an instruction pamphlet to her friends “Duck Duck” and “Baby Bat,” pointing at the illustrations and asking, “Now what happens?” Twin B lolls around with her polar bear on some dog towels out on the deck, wearing the swimsuit she’s worn for the past four days–backwards, because [...]
The topic of vasectomies comes up often in conversations with other moms. Most of us think the men should be the ones to go under the knife, but the husbands are usually nervous. Since my husband was brave enough to get snipped I’m obviously the voice of reason on the topic. The first question most [...]
There was a recent study released linking depression to sleep apnea. I can now rest easier knowing my husband is one happy mofo even if I’m on the couch. I’m pretty sure he could take on Fred Flintstone in his ability to blow a feather in the air on his exhale and let it coast down rhythmically. As I [...]
We all know you would never order one of those plain brown packages. But, if you were going to you might as well get the crème de la crème, right? Warning: Some images after the jump NSFW!
Every little princess deserves a $10,000 bedroom set!
