choosing a wife

i don't think i've ever posted a joke on the ol' blog, but i thought this one was pretty funny.

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among
three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000
and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make-over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon,
gets her hair done, new make-up and buys several new outfits, and
dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done
this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new
set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some
expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that
she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several
times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the
remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save
for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done
with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that, you know.

sports fan-addict

my sports world in the last few days has been nothing short of glorious.

friday - attended opening day with my family

saturday - watched the OU spring game with the fam (details to follow)

sunday - sat in a friend's box at the ranger game, got there early and watched the end of the masters

monday - went to the mavs game, watched them clench not only the top seed and home court advantage for the playoffs, but dirk and stackhouse a vacation! woo-hoo! rest in peace, spurs fans!!!


tonight - ranger game, jay's company apparently has great seats...we're going early for a little ballpark-style tailgate.

sooooooooooo fun. loving every minute of it! spring can always end up a busy sports time, with basketball playoffs, march madness, baseball, golf tourneys, and college spring games...just one more reason to love this time of year! oh, and the spring game? let's just say that demarco murray looks like he was a VERY good choice. only 20 weeks until september 1st, that glorious first game of the 2007 season...

what every kid needs...

thanks for sharing, mary!!

mckenzie, the frog whisperer

my parents got us some very cute patio furniture for our front porch. last night jay and i took norman on a long walk, then came back to sit out on the porch and enjoy our new furniture, some lemonade, and a PERFECT NIGHT. norman was an angel. we enforced to him immediately that he was not to leave the boundaries of the porch, and he did not! he was such a well-behaved little pup. we were very impressed.



mckenzie was able to go out into the yard, because after all, she is the oldest and very mature. ; ) in the yard, i had noticed her scratching at something, then chasing it along a retaining wall we have out near the edge of the yard. i finally got up to see what was going on and found out that she had made a little friend, a frog! it was so funny, because she would scrach his little back, then he would hop away and she would chase him. then he would stop, turn around, and face her. it was like they were playing a little game.






eventually the frog went into some shrubs. little mac dog tried to follow, but i think she either lost him or ate him, because she finally emerged from the shrubs. later i gave her a bath and we were joking that she must have eaten him, because she kept making that face you make when you have something lodged in your teeth (see below, "is that a frog leg stuck between my teeth?"). we finally decided she did not, in fact, eat the frog, seeing as he was pretty much the size of her head. still, it was funny.

good, good friends

we had our first wedding shower this weekend hosted by some of my bestest girlfriends, and it was a blast! i have to say, it was very overwhelming to be at centerstage for everything. i have been to so many of those things and always had fun, but never really thought about it ever being "my turn." it was a humbling feeling and i must say that i was sincerely blown away by everyone's generosity with their time and their gifts. it was just odd knowing all those people were there because of us...all that time and preperation my dear friends did to put this all together was just amazing.

thanks again, girls!!!
