Shower

Jennifer and I had our wedding shower today, and made off like bandits.

It was at her aunt’s house. We played some games and got a whole lot of stuff. We got enough towels to fill a washing machine, two sets of cups, two of silverware, an electric griddle, a crock pot, a Wal*Mart gift card, a bread box, and a bunch of other stuff. Not a bad haul, considering how few people showed.

Our aforementioned wedding has been moved to 29 Oct 05, and is to be a Halloween theme. I don’t think it is the greatest idea for a wedding, but it is what will make Jennifer happy and little else concerns me. We are to be wearing costumes; she’ll be wearing some kind of vampire dress while I will have a classic zoot suit, an American classic.

Our registry has changed; any well-wishers may visit Wal*Mart to get us stuff if you are so inclined.

understanding men

(via cereal[k]illah)

  1. Learn to work the toilet seat. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us bitching about you leaving it down.
  2. ALL men see in only 16 colors. Peach is a fruit, not a color.
  3. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.
  4. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer.
  5. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair.
  6. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you’re stuck with her.
  7. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
  8. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
  9. Sometimes, we’re not thinking about you. Live with it.
  10. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
  11. Sunday = Sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
  12. Shopping is not a sport, and no, we’re never going to think of it that way.
  13. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
  14. You have enough clothes. You have too many shoes.
  15. Crying is blackmail.
  16. Ask for what you want. Let’s be clear on this one:
    1. Subtle hints don’t work.
    2. Strong hints don’t work.
    3. Really obvious hints don’t work.
    4. Just say it!
  17. No, we don’t know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on the calendar.
  18. Peeing standing up is more difficult. We’re bound to miss sometimes.
  19. Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
  20. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
  21. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.
  22. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
  23. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
  24. Check your oil.
  25. It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take the quiz together. (No, it doesn’t matter which quiz.)
  26. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
  27. All comments become null and void after 7 days.
  28. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
  29. Let us ogle. We’re going to look anyway. It’s genetic.
  30. You can either tell us to do something OR tell us how to do something, but not both.
  31. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
  32. If it itches, it will be scratched.
  33. Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
  34. If we ask what’s wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you’re lying, but it’s just not worth the hassle.
  35. Don’t ask for our opinion unless you really want it. If you’ve already made up your mind, then just do it and leave us alone.
  36. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don’t mind that, it’s like camping!

Wow, two email virus posts in as many days! Whats wrong with me?

Uneventful

My birthday was relatively uneventful. I slept most of the day. However, my mater took me out to Bennigans earlier. That was nice; she also gave me $100. Which I need.

I cut Christina a check for a third of the rent. Since then, my bank balance has shown itself being about three over what a wrote the check for so I have been afraid to spend any money. Today I did a balance check and it was about thirty less than the check, meaning they credited something else then bounced her check. I don’t know what else they could have credited because anything other than another outstanding check (which I don’t have) would have shown immediately, but either way I have to hurry and get this in my account then give Christina the money for it so our rent doesn’t bounce.

Jennifer and I are back together. We aren’t living together right now, but probably will be soon—she is living with a druggie right now and my child isn’t being brought up around that. All we need to do is get the money together and get my roommates to sign me off the lease.

I just hope I’m not making a big mistake.

Stress

I have been very stressed the past couple of weeks. It sucks. The primary factor has been that I have been working inconsistent schedules; coupled with a letter I got stating that a check I wrote to pay a library fine bounced, and I need to pay it (with money I don’t really have to spare) or go to jail.

I also feel like no one really cares about me. Everyone is bitching at me about something or another or, worse yet, ignoring me altogether. I feel so lonely.

I can’t stand living with Christina. Jennifer can’t stand living with her roommate either. We are prolly going to look into getting an apartment together. I know it will be odd living with the ex, but it will be much better for our child to grow up with both parents (even if we sleep in separate beds) and neither of us really seems to have better options.

I have also considered (fairly strongly) getting back together with her (she has settled down quite a bit from the pregnancy) but am not quite sure. As I have already stated I am feeling quite lonely lately, and I want to make sure that I am not just getting back with her because I am settling. That wouldn’t be fair to her or myself.

Please comment— leave suggestions on what I should do, encouragement that things will get better, or just let me know that someone knows I’m alive.

When you are drinking by yourself, you can just say to yourself, “Man, I’ve had too much; I’m going to bed.” But when you are drinking with friends (or a date) you are more inclined to say “I’ve had too much; lets stop after this next one.” Then you get sick.

Don’t ask how my date went.
