NOT ANYMORE!!!
How many times have we used that expression? I know I have many times in my 43 yrs. When I got this pic in an email from a friend I just had to share it. I think the idea to finally capitalize on the old saying is genious!!!
I am also curious....have u ever been in a situation where you were in or close to being in shit creek with no paddle?
I was once, while in Mexico...alone at 4am, walking home, (to friends apartment) had 4 men following me and getting closer...very dangerous situation. Got out of it in the nick of time by the skin of my teeth...will have to tell the story in more detail some day.
Tell me about yours..
We are going for the second meeting with our officient tomorrow evening. So tonight we had to go over some of the documentation we were given to fill out together. Some was for the ceremony itself...we chose an example of a simple one that we could tweek to make our own. As Chris was going through that, I was going through a questions/answer part . Some questions were simple and others were especially designed to make you think about your partner and relationship. It is also a tool for the officient to get to know us better as a couple.
We had fun deciding what to put down for different questions, like, how did u meet? Who made the first move?....It was cute to think of those days in the beginning lol.
There was one question that asked each person to write about the other. ie; personality, weaknesses, likes etc
I wrote: ...Chris is my hero on so many levels. He is a man of integrity and fairness and also stays true to his own beliefs. He is very deep in that he always strives to learn about more of everything. Chris is also able to make everyone feel special. He is the smartest person I know but is also one of the funniest. He is liked by everyone who knows him, He has no pretentions yet also has much class and taste with most everything. He is also sensitive and romantique and he rocks my world. He has 2 weaknesses, one is being to hard on himself and the other is me. But I am also one of his strengths.
I had to translate it to english but this is what

Monette listens, understands and is a counseller . She is a healer and a voice to be heard. Her wisdom and soul make of her a friend, everyone would need one day. Her humour gets her through all kinds of life challenges. She also lightens the burdens of those she loves. Always ready to give of herself to help the less fortunate than her.
Her generosity is a force to be reckoned with and a weakness because she puts herself last. Monette is like the lighthouse to a ship in the ocean, she is the reason I rush home everyday. Her joie de vivre and her ability to surprise me, make everyday a new adventure. She provides me with a foundation, a basis for achievement.....she is my motivation for grasping at the Moon!
He read that to me and I just wanted to cry....I am the luckiest woman in the world!...How could a person not feel deeply loved after that?...
YES, I changed my template. I was having issues with the old one so decided to finally change it. It is just plain black I realize but it works for me. I have lost all my doodads that were in the sidebar of the old one but that will only give me room to get more or different things to stick in there.Hope that everyone who celebrates Easter has had a great Easter Sunday and for those who don't...I hope you had a great Passover or just a great spring Sunday.Our Easter was very simple. We had a big breakfast of bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and toast...was delicious. Don't often have that kind of breakfast.Cleo was at her dad's this weekend but they both came over saturday so I could cut her dad's hair. (Yes, I still cut his hair..even 5 yrs after we separated) lol.I gave Cleo the easter chocolate we got her. But I think she was happier with the cell phone she also got. Since Chris just recieved the company cell phone, he no longer needed the one we had for him, on the family plan. We each had a phone and have a contract so we decided that Cleo would get it. We have been lucky to have held out this long. She is 15 and most of her friends have had one for a yr or 2 already. The best part is that Chris' phone was due for an upgrade but we were waiting till Cleo could look at some of the models to see what she prefered WITHIN REASON ofcourse...We got a basic idea before comitting to anything then went back a week later to get one similar to the ones she liked. A new model came out that she hadn't seen but was like what she wanted so we got that. Luckily it didn't cost much more for the upgrade. Needless to say she LOVED her new phone. She also spend the whole time here, playing with it. Made sure to load a ring tone she liked asap lol. As soon as they left, I called her so I would be the first person to call her on her cell ...when I said that on the phone, I could swear I heard her smile but mostly I also heard her eyes roll.....hehe.....We moms can be so annoying sometimes lol......I live for it!
