So, thee hast requested an update on the life of a matrimonial ensued woman.  Here goeth!

No arguments over toilet paper direction or toilet seats thus far, thank you Natalie for asking. However, last night I put the toilet paper on rolling thru the front (vs. rolling down the wall). I prefer it rolling down the back, but as Natalie had mentioned it, I thought I'd mix it up a little and see if there were any repercussions. Ha! I found the paper was switched around the roll down the wall. Well that fixes that, he must like it the way I do. So there we go, no arguments - till we have kids and they won't put the new roll on!

I'm learning interesting things. Like, unless you're actually a world-reknown chef in NYC, don't experiment with orange juice and orange rind and LOTS of pepper on chicken. It's just SLIGHTLY OVERPOWERING. In the loving words of my husband - "Honey, I love you. But, please don't ever do that again!"

This morning (as I had not made a lunch for Matt the night before) Matt woke me up at 7am (10 minutes before he leaves) and asks me to make lunch. I'm sure he doesn't understand that if I make food that early in the morning, I'll end up making him a ham and grape jelly sandwich. But that's ok - I managed. Never mind that I was so tired I all but fell asleep with a knife in my hand. Standing up.

Most recent update from work. Ok!

a) People getting married in 5 weeks, who have not bought a dress have absolutely NO call for complaints!

b) People who get their fittings done (ie. pinned and sent to the seamstress, but not yet sewn) cannot revoke their fitting at the cash register and insist that the pinning stay in so that it can be taken to another outside seamtress. And I quote ("I'm sorry S***a but the pinning is part of the alterations). To which the lovely lady (argh) answered "That's dispicable! I can't believe you would be that horrible! If you take those pins out I won't buy that dress! I don't think I want to buy anything here today! Forget this!" (Her fiance came back in the store and handed me the credit card).

c) People who freak out at the cash register because they got a $900 gown for $350 and insist that it be cheaper, because they're apparently bipolar and unmedicated - should not be allowed to shop by themselves. (a thru c are the same customer in a matter of 7 minutes)

d) Some days I love sales

e) Some days I hate sale

f) If you go shopping and find your gown, but did not invite your WITCH of a mother-in-law to participate in the choosing - expect World War III to ensue. (ie. I opened a new box of kleenex for the poor girl and felt like knocking out this faceless MIL whom I have never met). 0000

g) MOB (mother of the bride) of Bride F - said, "I'm sick of this crap! My daughter's not buying the dress - I AM!" (Hi there $1100 sale - hopefully the MIL won't ever meet me - I may end up dead).

So there you go - Adios Me Amigos
