‘Cause we’re romantic like that
We went to dinner with some friends last Sunday. It was the first time they'd met hubby, so they wanted to hear from the horses mouth what made him change his mind about being a lifelong bachelor.

He said, "I got to imagining us being old together. I could see myself as an old man on the back porch sitting with one of my buddies, and [RisibleGirl] bringing us out some lemonade". So of course I had the whole "sigh and swoon" thing going on in my head.

....... until he continued.

He went on to say, "I then could imagine her smacking me upside the back of my head after I make some rude comment about her lemonade. And I decided I kind of liked that image".

Well, I guess his is better than what I tell everyone; "He's the first one that didn't make me want to throw up at the thought of a second date".

Currently overhearing while on the train
I've been sitting here on the train, minding my own business. Generally, I either read one of my e-books, read email, or play one of my games on my treo. I don't pay much attention to conversations going on around me unless something is said very loudly.

I only heard this piece of a conversation(because it was LOUD):

"his eye was the size of a golfball, and they had to suck it right out of his head."

Then she got all quiet again. Whaaaaa??? huh????? So now, you get to have the same image in your head.

You're welcome.

Because I’m 12…

BJ asks me if I’m “12” all the time. Ok, maybe I do have an adolescent sense of humor sometimes (OK, *most* of the time).

Anyway, I thought I’d share with you what is cracking me up today.

Enjoy!

I was born to manage people
...and here's proof. BJ loves repeating this story, so it must be a good one.

Like most little girls, when I was young I played Barbies with my friends. I probably wasn't much fun to play with though, because playing Barbies with me went something like this:

Little RisibleGirl: "Ok, now you make your Barbie say this..."
Little RisibleGirl: "Ok, now make your Barbie do this...."

Eventually, nobody wanted to play Barbies with me anymore. But that was OK with me, because that meant that nobody'd give me ANY lip on what I wanted the Barbie's to say or do.

The colliding of two worlds
It should be an interesting evening. Tonight hubby and I are getting together with some very dear long-time friends of mine. They stood by me and each provided a life line for me when I found out my ex-husband was having an affair. They walked through each step of my divorce with me. True friends.

My divorce was fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago this month, actually.

BJ has never met them, because we don't get together much anymore. In that span of fifteen years, two of the three found their life partner's and are very happy, and I got married. One lost her husband and son, one recently lost his dad, and another is losing his dad.

A lot of life has happened in those fifteen years. One thing I know for certain, is that we will all do what we've always done. We will all still love each other the way we always have, and we will laugh. I know we will be doing a lot of laughing.

I'm so glad that I can count on some things to not ever change.
