why pilates wont work for me (not for the weak hearted)

pilates (pih-lot-ees) will not work for me for the simple fact that as my husband sees me contort myself into these ahem..positions he insist the children watch a movie and we go "have a chat." then whammo i am pregnant again, and of course, if one is pregnant there is no need to pih-lot.
my question is how can i possibly make it through a day without "having a chat?" cause frankly if i dressed myself up in burlap and razor blades, i think he would just have to take the risk. silly boys

Have you tried wearing a garlic necklace?

This reminds me of some (male)advice I was once given that you might be able to adapt.

If you stay out late with your buddies and want to avoid any verbal confrontation with your wife when you get home, follow these steps;

1. Screech into the driveway with your horn blaring.
2. Slam the door while entering the house and turn on every light.
3. Storm into the bedroom and announce, "Honey, I want to make LLOOOVVVVVEEEEEE to you!"

At this point all you should hear is the gentle sound of her snoring.

This blog is making me feel lonely.

I really need to find a good woman and sweep her off her feet before she realizes what's happening...hehe

shontell- what does ROFL mean?
and when you put LOL is it laugh out loud as the teens say or old school lots of laughs

oh, yeah jamie any girl who is lucky enough to get swooped up by you , will be because she had her eyes WIDE open.

Noel, it's funny you asked about ROFL because I had to do a search of chat acronyms myself to figure it out. It means Rolling On Floor Laughing. In my search I learned some new ones like ROFLPMP (Rolling On Floor Laughing and Peeing My Pants, ROFLSTC (ROFL and Scaring the Cat), and ROFLMAO (ROFL My Ass Off). No kidding, the web site said that though anyone could make up any combination, these were the most commonly used.

I understand that young people (and maybe some old) who Instant Message frequently have a whole nuther language shorthand they use. Personally, I find it all very interesting. I'm also sure that any one younger than 25 reading this comment are LTAO at my geriatric naivete.

Plucky-I, however am not UNDER 25 (though I am 25) so I am not LMAO at you. I personally get laughed at in chat situations because I still speak in complete sentences with proper punctuation. ;)

scoeyd said...

hey queenie-
thank you for your faithful prayers & for giving me some great catching up reading. soon, my brain will reenter this time zone & all will be well again.

re: the whole pilates thing... husbands tend to be rather predictable, don't they?

thorn is back from germany! hooray! when you get married, you will understand. hopefully it will be only once since you have such disdain for anyone who has been divorced.

anyways, irregardless of thorn, shontell, perhaps you have noticed that you broke your blog again. do you need some help with this?
