Entertainment I'm anxiously awaiting...

Most everyone knows that I'm not big on TV. Mostly, I just read online. Still, every once in a while, a movie will catch my fancy. Our movie collection is mostly R's picks, which are NOT "chick flicks."

Last year was incredibly boring for me, but this year is looking up substantially, thanks to the mighty SEQUEL! Hey, I might even sit in a theatre this summer!

Harry Potter #7 (circa June/July)
Lean Mean 13 (circa June 26)
"Spiderman 3" - May 4
"Ocean's 13" - June 8
"Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix" - July 13
"The Bourne Ultimatum" - Aug. 3

My first, last and only marriage

Marriage is easy.

Living together is the hard part. Haha, I keeeed, I keeeed.

We have run the gamut of marital highs and lows for more than the last decade. In my experience, you cannot appreciate the good times, if you don't have some bad thrown in once in a while.

We recognize our strengths. I'm pretty good at managing our money. Hubby is pretty good at spending it.

Haha, I keeeed, I keeeed.

Probably the biggest "test" of our marriage came when the 4 of us spent an entire month together on vacation. It was far from easy to spend 30 days with almost no contact with other people we knew. It wasn't like we were all alone, but we really were.

As I like to say, 4 of us left and 4 of us came back. All alive. It was a success!

Honestly, after so much time, I really don't think about love. It's just there, kinda like the sun rises and sets each day. I gotta admit, I love that man o'mine!

When I hear people talk about marriage being "hard" or "difficult," I am reminded by this quote by Zig Ziglar:
"The way you see them is the way you treat them and the way you treat them is the way they often become."

Seriously, the secret to marriage is really...
