Why Your Wife or Girlfriend Acts Mean

Hi. I made this interesting discovery. Apparently guys read my blog. I was a little surprised at all of the REALLY nice emails from guys about how mean that my husband forgot my birthday! Wow–thanks. SO, I made some joke posts to guys in the past. Now, I decided to write a real post [...]

Update: Husband Got Me a “Birthday Gift”

I need to get this out and move along before it makes me really mad.
We had friends over for my birthday yesterday. While I cooked beforehand, my husband took the boys out to the toystore. I asked him to buy a cake. (Must mention the husband “cake problem”–he likes wierd cakes, I like normal cakes. [...]

Told My Husband It’s My Birthday: He Was So Surprised

Okay, I am becoming very confused. First, I was sure my husband was spying on my blog. Then I couldn’t take it anymore and asked him to read it (but he was too tired, even though I said “please read it, I make fun of you in it.”) Then I think he DID read it.
Question: [...]

My Husband Might Be Materialistic

This post is mainly for the guys out there. I got my first Guy Feedback that I am mean and materialistic! You are probably saying it in a joking way, as in “you’re so mean” being sarcastic code for “you’re sooooo tolerant and nice based on what I read on your blog.” If you [...]

Flashback: Hard Times

Yesterday, my friend saw the post about my husband’s hanger trick, and suddenly it hit me that I never told her about it. When she mentioned the hanger, I had a flashback to the time period when she and I met. At that time, life was much too serious to ever talk or think about [...]

Hi. Make me feel better about this. Every guy does this, right? You have hangers all over your house that look just like this, true?
In case these photographs seem perplexing (because they are), let me fully explain them. The first photo is a hanger. No, the hanger did not come like that. It was a [...]

Quiz for Husband: Whose Birthday Is In 4 Days?

I used to be a teacher. (But now write school books…and blogs.) So, I know strategies on making quizzes easy, challenging, or whatever the occasion calls for. For fun, I’m going to give my husband this quiz (which he will totally blow off) :
1) How many days from now is my birthday? (Hint: see [...]

Husband Tells Jokes, People Look Confused

Doesn’t everyone want a partner who has a great sense of humor? Yes, me too. But well, I didn’t really get that. I realize that probably sounds a little mean to people who haven’t…how shall I put this…experienced my husband’s jokes. It’s not that his jokes are gross, cruel, too political, or anything like that. [...]

Wouldn’t You Be Proud of This Shelf?

Sunday we invited my husband’s friends over–two couples. Both, like us, somewhat new to the Los Angeles area. I fixed a HUGE spread. No joke–8 dishes. Intricate foods. And it was all good. Even King Picky Himself (my husband) complimented the food 3 times. I couldn’t believe it. So–you see all the work I put [...]

No Gift Is Good Enough

Happy Easter, everyone! I’m thinking a lot about how lucky I am today–the blessings and gifts I have. Let me warn you though, when I post about the topics of my husband + gifts, it’s going to get a little annoying.
As much as I LOVE buying and giving gifts, I must admit that buying gifts [...]
