My amusement for the day:
Betsy: "I bet he'd marry you"
She's going to kill Ian soon...

Strange to think about...
I had a weird thought yesterday, and it has been on my mind ever since.
Most people think of their parents as older. Your parents are and always will be older than you. Until yesterday, I always had the same conception of both my parents. My mom is almost 50 and my dad would have been 51 this year.
Except that he died in April of 1983 at the age of 25.
I am 26.
I am older than my dad.
It's kind of strange to think about.
I know people out there who get to 60 or 70 and have that thought, having parents who died in their 50s. But I am not 30 yet.
I don't know why it is on my mind. Just a novel concept, I suppose.

Strange turn of events
Ian actually told me that if I was serious about it, we could look into the possibility of actually buying a house (with the assistance of HUD, of course).
Wow. It actually could be possible, with help. We need to talk to Chad and see how he went about getting his.
If this is real, I may cry.

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
My friend Amy posted this on MySpace and I found it amusing. Maybe some of you will too.
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do? Signed,
Desperate

DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.HTML and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
***Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Gas and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
Best Wishes Babe!

Stanza Three
See my May postings for the first two stanzas.
He wakes up in the dead of night.
The space next to him is cold.
He wonders where she went to;
he needs someone to hold.
As he leaves the room to find her,
he's feeling rather bold,
but then he finds her sobbing
and encases her in his fold.

Thanks, Mecher
For years, I have felt dejected because I never found a major in college that I actually enjoyed enough to make a career out of. Not that there was ever anything wrong with econ, but I have never felt all that passionate about any of the majors I tried, and I have always wondered if that made me strange.
Talking to our merchandising supervisor yesterday showed me that I am not the only one. He had the exact same problem, and, like me, graduated with something just to say he had a degree. That was a relief to me. I wonder how many other people had that problem.
I still worry that I won't find anything. I talk about wanting to get my paralegal certification, but at the same time I worry that I won't truly enjoy that either and it will be a waste of my money.
Ah well. I guess I will keep searching.
