Well it is official. Stephen's last day to be employed with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will be August 25th, 2006. I am so excited! Stephen got offered a job with Provo College today. We will be leaving at the end of the month. Can I get a hell ya?

It just occurred to me that my husband will be home on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve! I am soooo excited!

Man's Best Friend

I have been "one of the guys" for almost as long as I can remember. When I was 6, I was the only girl at an all boy birthday party. Don't get me wrong here. I was never a tomboy. I always liked dainty, girly things. I just always had more guy friends than girls. I never wanted it to be that way. I always wanted to be one of those girls that makes everyone look twice. In college I would get invited to steak night, or when the guys were all getting together to play x-box and get drunk, I was always there. It was crazy to me. I only have brothers. My husband only has brothers. I only have boys. Have I been preparing for the rest of my life all this time? The never ending espn/military channel? Again, don't get me wrong. I love all my "boys," I am happy with my marriage. At this point I don't want men ogling at me, but for hell sakes, if I get told how "awesome" or "cool" I am again, I am going to puke!

Randomness

Since I first met my husband, he as been pumping me full of useless information. Little known facts that will get a person no where. It is kind of a weird thing he does, but none the less it continues through the years. I want to share some of that randomness today.

Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are register blood donors.

Cuba is the only island in the Caribbean to have a railroad.

In ancient Scotland, every leap year maidens were allowed to ask a man to be her husband, refusal cost him a pound.

Barbie's full name is "Barbara Millicent Roberts."

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.

Adolf Hilter's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out it by her doctor.

Queen Victoria eased the discomfort of her menstrual cramps by having her doctor supply her with marijuana.


There you have it. Your useless information for the day.
