It takes a depraved mind to think that a child should be forced to work, instead of being educated. Newt Gingrich is that kind of dude.

The almost definitive list of things couples should never share
After 10+ years of coupledom, one would either assume that I would get over some things or at the least, my husband will get the hint. Well, neither has happened, so here we go:
Things Couples Should Never Share
- Bath towels. If you didn’t take it out of the cabinet and put it on my shelf, you don’t use it.
- Razors. Our hairs are different.
- Banking accounts.
- Thin Mints. I’m almost positive this is in the Torah, Qur’an and Bible.
- Sentimental T-shirts. Do you see me in your De La Soul tee? Nope.
- Computers.
There are other things that go without saying, but this is over 10 years of deep research. I bet people who’ve been together longer can add more. Take vacations. For some reason most of my friends and family with 15+ years of marriage, rarely take vacations with their partners. It works for them!
******
I asked the man to give me his list. Here’s what he came up with:
- Toothbrush
- Socks
- Underwear
- Almond Accents (Roasted Garlic Flavor) – [back off bitch... I'll cut you!! Yeah it's like that!]
- Toenail clippers
- Eggplant Parmesan sandwich
Eh… everything else is fair game. Cheerios!
******
Just posterity’s sake, I must say that there is no way in hell, I’d use his toothbrush, socks or underwear. GAG. Number 5 is interesting since, you know, he’s been using my toenail clippers. ;P

*headdesk*
I just had the most painful conversation of the week:
Me: I’m calling to confirm that the appoitment for my son is today is at 1:30.
Receptionist: What’s your name?
Me: It’s a Anika, but the appointment is for my son
Receptionist: Oh. Okay. What’s your name?
I start spelling my name.
Receptionist: I can’t find it.
Me: You asked me for my name. This appointment is for my son. I just want to make sure it’s for today and not tomorrow.
Receptionist: Didn’t you write it down?
Me: I put it in my phone, but the girl I spoke to said something like, “It’s set up for the 2nd, I mean the 3rd” or vice versa.
Receptionist: Your son’s name is Vice Versa?
Me: What? [laughs] No, his name is Alton.
Receptionist: Oh. What is his first name?
Me: That is his first name.
Receptionist: Oh, that’s a weird first name.
Me [thinking]: This coming from a lady who thought Vice Versa was a name???
Me: Anyway…is his appointment today or tomorrow?
Receptionist: Spell his name.
Me: [spells name]
Receptionist: Has he been here before?
Me: No.
Receptionist: Oh, okay. Then we won’t have him in the system.
Me: [sigh] Look. I set up an appointment for him last week. It’s either today at 1:30 or tomorrow at 1:30. You will not make me believe that since he’s never been there before, he’s not listed for an appointment. That makes no sense.
Receptionist: Oh. Um. Okay. It’s today at 1:30.
Me: *headdesk*

Internet Confession Time: Videos
I haven’t seen the Two Girls, One Cup video and I think my life is just fine. I don’t get the references to it and I’m quite okay with that.

Internet Confession Time: SD Cards

I never pretend to be all tech geeky. I free admit that after all these years I finally figured out the acronym BSOD means Blue Screen Of Death. But yesterday I learned what SD in SD card meant. It stands for Secure Digital. How about that? I never bothered to care about what it was, but now that I know, I feel dumb for not knowing (or caring) before.

4 of my 5 uncles were born in March. I know the dates, but I not kept track of which uncle belongs to which date. So…I wait until the 27th, when is the last day I know for sure there’s a birthday, and call all of them.
