Final Five Proofs

Random Thought of the Day:
You can't put fun in a box for kids. However, if you give a box to my kid, you've given her instant 'fun'.
Quote of the Day:
I never watch tv...it's too trashy even for me.
--Oscar the Grouch
Dirty Word of the Day:
Fluff: (n.) the odoriferous passing of human or animal gas worded in such a way that children are not tempted to say the ugly word that rhymes with 'hart'.

The following is the completion of a previous post outlining the ten proofs that Matthew and I have truly been married 10 years.

6. When we were dating, I naively came to the conclusion that he was one of the few human beings who never fluffed (refer to above for definition). HA!! I kid you not---the other morning he fluffed three times and matched pitch with do--re--me. He was quite proud of himself.

8. After moving several times in our married life, some aspects of sentimentality have disappeared. For instance, when he hollers during the process of packing, "I found another sweet note that you sent me in high school. Where should I put it?" I respond, "Chunk it!"

9. A romantic gesture has become scrubbing the tub.

10. Antiques roadshow is a source of bitter contention on Monday nights. How can I compete with a set of Circus toys circa 1910?

Well, there's the proof--sure, we still get accused of being college kids. Yes, I still have the same hairstyle and,thank goodness, he still has all his hair. But there have definitely been subtle changes. The biggest change of all---I love him with even more intensity than when we first said 'I do'. Sorry--I felt obligated to end on a sappy (but truthful) note.

Random Thought for the Day:
What magical power is contained in those plastic woven baskets overflowing with triangles of fried corn? I enter the restaurant in a state of restless discontent and leave enveloped in a warm blanket of tortilla-contentment.
Word of the Day:
Freck-u-late (v.) The process of producing enough freckles that they merge into a tan when viewed from a distance. Refer to Anna's shoulders at present for further illustration.

Poor Mr. Noodle. He tries so hard.

Ten Proofs that Matt and I have Now Been Married Ten Years
1. When offered a chocolate covered doughnut for teacher appreciation, he grunts and shakes his head, "Better not. I'd rather skip the sugar crash." This from the man who brought me 12 fried rings of delight along with my engagement ring ten years ago! We finished them off in minutes before announcing the news to the fam.

2. Rather than sleep in till 10 (a former joy of mine) we enjoy a cup of coffee on our couch at 6am and debate over which of The Wiggles is the better dancer (Anthony, without a doubt).


3. I now receive free highlights in my hair. Silver, wiry highlights--but free none the less. I don't believe that misnomer about plucking them--yet.

4. In our married life, we've raised a skunk and two squirrels, along with owning and loving six domestic beasts while pouring money into my equine companions....now we've come to a point where one cat and one dog is just the perfect number of wildife for us.

5. We finish each other's sentences and sometimes.....weirdly enough.....dream eerily similar dreams in the same night.
