As the month winds down, it feels like change is in the air.
For one thing, Alex's basketball season is starting to ramp up. Weekly practices have begun on most Sundays and Thursdays. Drum lessons were tonight at West Music. Football starts tomorrow night. Megan began religious education classes last Wednesday. The new season of "Survivor" began two weeks ago. The new seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" began last Thursday. This Thursday, we are going to Texas Roadhouse with Karen's parents for their 49th wedding anniversary. We're taking the camper to storage Saturday AM and roundtripping from NL to Davenport (to pick up the camper), to Zhwingle (where we store it) and then back home in time for 5:15 Mass, then home to watch the Iowa v. PSU game that starts at 7. Sunday is going up to see my mother in the nursing home (I hope) and basketball practice.
Then it starts all over again. A new season of the "Road Rules/Real World" challenges begins next week.
Nine words women use
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) 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.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is 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 about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying FOOL YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
