Snapshot of a marriage

This has been T's forty-first-birthday party day. I got him an olive-drab field jacket and some subdued flag and Appleseed patches to put on it. (Hey, it's more romantic than lots of the other things on his list -- like, say, the gas cap for his Charger -- although only marginally less expensive.) It's been a crazy-hectic but fun day.

Now we're both sitting on the couch, and I'm attempting to compose an abbreviated modern retelling of "The Gift of the Magi" (don't ask). T is providing valuable editorial advice. ("No, it's much better if he sold his collection of game cartridges and she bought him a vintage Atari system from eBay than it would be for her to buy the games and him to sell the system. Obviously!")

This one made me laugh very, very much:

T: He could sell his project-car Camaro to buy her one of those plastic hair clips at Wal-Mart. She sells her hair to buy him a shift knob for the Camaro.

Maybe you have to be a Dodge guy, or married to one, to get that. And if any Chevy guys read this -- don't shoot the messenger. Right?

(T says, "Hey, Chevy guys, don't get mad. It was a *really* nice two-tone hair clip.")

THE HIJINKS. Don't you wish this was your marriage?

Wonderful blog! Do you have any insights for yearning authors? I'm planning to begin my own particular blog soon yet I'm somewhat lost on everything. Would you prompt beginning with a free stage like WordPress or go for a paid choice? There are such a large number of decisions out there that I'm totally overpowered .. Any thoughts? Your blog held my advantage ideal to the very end, which isn't generally a simple activity!! An obligation of appreciation is all together for the conventional blog.

Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening
in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think
I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad
for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang
of it!
