14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Audrey Hepburn
This woman was by far the most gracefull wonderful woman who ever lived, not only was she beautifull and sucessfull, but she donated so much of her time and money to charity and was a completely generous woman. Audrey Hepburn was an actress in several older movies including, Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My fair Lady,  and Always, which was her last film in 1989. She is well known for her lovely quotations also.


"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."



— Audrey Hepburn

Warning this Blog may offend you

Im not a very politically correct person and im kind of tired of being "proper" around certain people or types of people.

Warning this blog may offend you.

Im not sure if it is todays media that has warped my mind or if I am just a crude person but I make a lot of sarcastic jokes towards every race,religious group, disability, and anything that makes a person unique. I even make fun of myself.

The problem is that so many people take me too seriously and im tired of worrying about it. Everyone who has ever known me longer than an hour should know that If i had the opportunity to help a blind ,handicapped, black, paraplegic, with a speech impediment and a learning disability I would, just as much as if i would help someone who looks exactly like me. I am not racist, and i dont hate any group of people, and i dont think differently of a handicaped person.

However, I have a really crude sense of humor and it is just who I am.

For instance, a week or so ago I was talking to one of my bosses at work and he said that the kids were being good that day, and I responded by saying, "No the only good kids are dead ones". He laughed.....

Now, if one of the parents had heard me, they might not have all apriciated my comment.

Also,
One of my new friends from school is 100% mexican. She thinks it is so funny when I joke about her race, and she always teases me about my dyslexia or my stupidity for being blonde, and its a mutual humor. Today I asked her if she wanted a taco, and she responded with, "can you even spell taco"..

I completely ADORE! people who can be completely comfortable in there skin, in there life, just the way they are. If you don't joke around and play around with your dissabilities or differences whether it is skin color or a physical apearrance you will never learn to be confident for who you are.

So stop being affended with racial jokes or any for of discrimination i dont mean ANYTHING by it.



So this is my sense of humor for you
ps: I dont agree with any statement bellow It simply made me laugh, So before you email me telling me how terribly immature I am and how this or that isnt true, keep in mind... I know!!!


What do you call 300 white men chasing a black man
                                                                                                    The PGA tour.

                                      What's the flattest surface to iron your jeans on?
                                                                                             A white girl's butt!


                                      Why are aspirins white?

                                                                       Because they work.
                                


                                 Why is Stevey Wonder Smiling all the time?

                                                                            He doesn't know he's black.



                                  Why can't you tell blondes knock-knock jokes?


                                                                           Because they go answer the door.





                                  What do you call a Filipino walking a dog?


                                                                                    A vegetarian.
                                     
                                     
           What do you do when a Mexican is riding a bike?


                                                                     Chase after him, it’s probably yours!




I will close this blog by saying, If you are not willing to laugh at your own race or religion or disability dont laugh at anyone elses. But if you can handle being made fun of for your uniqueness than I say, laugh away!

My bed is my favorite place to be

Today was so rainy and I just coulnt get out of my comfortable bed. In between classes i kept driving home just so I could come back and go to sleep or snuggle with my dogs. 

So today is just a simple silly blog with beds in it, because that is all that is on my mind today.


Check these beds out, some look a little more comfortable than the next!


Which one is your favorite:)))))
This is where I could spend my day!

The follow up on that wretched list of duties!

This is a follow up!

The blog i previously posted was showing a list of "requirements" in the 1950s for wives to be a "good wife".  I asked many of you if you agree and I got a lot of responce back through emails and comments. (IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, GO READ THAT ONE FIRST!)

Do I agree with that list?.......

Call me crazy!
Yes!! I agree with most of it. Before you girls freak out, hear me through.
Take in concideration that this was written in a different era, so some of this isnt exactly what i agree with, but 90 percent of it, I practice on a daily basis.

Why? because going into marriage I knew this was my role, and I love it. Call me old fashioned but I feel like there would be less divorce if this would happen more often. I will be causing a lot of people to hate me for saying all of this, but i am strong on this fact and it is what works for me. If you were to ask my husband right now if i really live by what I am saying, he would tell you the facts. I fail 50 percent of the time ;) but i try 90 :) Keep in mind, those rules for women were in regards to the fact that woman stayed at home all day with no job while the man is at work, and work back then was a little harder.


And of course since im a PERFECT wife we ALWAYS! get along!


                                                          ^^^^^^SARCASM!!!^^^^^^^

Don't get married if you dont expect to be expected to do most of the dishes most of the house keeping most of the laundry and constantly thinking about how to please the other person more than yourself. It just wont work without it. I strongly believe however, that the guy should be making most of the income and handling most of the bills without stressing you over them, and if something is broke, he fixes it, and he should be more loving towards you than any other person you know.

I believe the woman in the 50s had it right and I dont see why we cant do that as wives today. Im not saying to let your husband take advantage of you by serving him and letting him just sit on his but. He should be expected to do something around the house also.  Many of you reading this dont believe in God and that is your fair descision but the bible enforces this behavior pretty strongly.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, the same way as to the Lord. Ephesians 5:22

as SLAVES of CHRIST, doing the will of God serving Him completely and with your whole soul. Ephesians 6:6


Whether you believe in that or not, the one thing you need to believe is that if you are choosing to get married you are choosing to love this person more than anything in the world including yourself. The catch... he must do the same thing for you.

By the way.... im not some dull housewife that just sits around kissings @$$ all day. I like to lounge around and watch movies and vege out on the couch and take naps and spend money on hair and nails and make up and go out with friends.

Im a modern house wife wife with an attutude at times.


PS! My next blog might be like recipes or quotes or something but i really want feedback and marriage advice to me from other married woman.!

The "good wife's guide".... Yes or No?

Some of you know that I am in college and have no idea what I am doing there. Im only in search of a way to better myself. Anyways.

I was in my comp 2 class and we were told to read an article out of House Keeping Monthly. It was a may issue from 1955. Our assignment was to read this article and basically judge whether the wives of 1955 had it hard, or if woman today should treat there husbands this same way. I want to ask you the same questions. Whether you are male, or female, married, or single I want to know,

Was this right, and should marriage still be this way? Why or why not?

Here is a copy of exactly what was written.





*Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed


* Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.


* Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

* Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

* During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.



* Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

* Be happy to see him.



* Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.\

* Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.\

* Don’t greet him with complaints and problems.


* Don’t complain if he’s late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.



* Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.



* Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.


* Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.


* A good wife always knows her place.


So I want you to tell me. Do you agree or no?

The first of many, and why im blogging

      Growing up I always thought about my dreams of being cinderella and finding my prince charming. It seemed to be an obsessive thought that I choose not to share with some people. I don't meet many pre-teens who have not dreampt of that. However, in this aspect, I was the odd one in junior high and highschool. All that I could think about was getting married and traveling of course. I wanted to hurry on with life and move pass the monotony of high school. I wanted to speed up my life and find the man for me and get married. Everyone thought i was silly for caring so much about these things at such a young age.
     

      Now, a little over three years later. I am married. Is it the exact way that I had invisioned marriage as a kid? Suprisingly, some days yes! I wanted to be a house wife so I saw myself doing the dishes and doing the laundry and organizing meals. I saw myself cutting coupons, and sewing my husbands ripped jeans. So now this is a reality. I actually had a pretty realistic expectation going into marriage of what this first year would be like



 
      I love it but I respect married people more than ever before. It is hard. It isn't always glamorous. You dont always get along. My point in this blog is to say, I am young and dumb according to some people. I know hardly anything about marriage. I have a lot to learn, but im learning every day and I want this blog to help other young woman. Not only do I want to write this to other married and un-married woman in preperation for marriage, but I also want to write this to get feedback. I want advice and I want encouragement. I want to hear the stradegies of other wives young and old. I want to learn what it means to be a "good wife", and to have a "good marriage."
