~WORDS WOMEN USE~

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine."

GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing". THAD's Favorite ;)

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

WHATEVER
It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

Where I've been...

Still here -- Borrowed Dawn's Layout for catching up.

-- I'm still very much enjoying Texas Hold'em along with all of my poker pals as well as my momma. We play every chance we get. On a good week, we fit in 5-7 sessions. I find this is often what keeps me going. Great stress relief.

--With the loss of Regina, I've taken on as much as possible to help Jake with Cody & Kaylee. I have them anywhere from 2-4 evenings and some Saturdays. I'm actually going to have them all day tomorrow while Jake puts tile down in the kitchen and does some other repairs. I'm also helping Cody with homework 2 nights a week. Huge improvements in reading and spelling over the last few weeks. Love That!!!

--Trying to teach atleast 2-3 times a week. I've been at Bryant (where Cody & Laurie are) and at Rea Woodman. Both are great schools.

--Aside from sub finder and reading your blogs, I spend very little time on the computer. By the time I'm alone and ready to blog, my arms are too tired!

--It's Football and Basketball season. Go Broncos and Shocks!

--I went to Jay's wedding. Got to see Suz. Was fun!

--I won free hotel stay in Vegas by playing poker. Hope to go by Spring.

--My poor mom is super stressed. Rick and Chris are very little help. She might sell the house. Sad!!!

--I can't wait for Tammy to move home!

--Bre and I need to get our pics ASAP!

--Looking forward to seeing Suz at Christmas.

--Hope to get to see Dawn and Jenn B too.

--Jenni and Jason went to a NE football game.

--Jen W is moving in with Chris! ooooooooo

--Jen U and Robert are moving on up to a bigger better pad.

--Laurie is excited for Dustin to move in soon.

--Trisha Girmus is excited to get married in July. Yippee!

OK--I'm exhausted.
