Katsura: I’ve never understood what goes on in your head.

Gintoki: I love the thrill of a real fight. That’s why I hate this trickery you’re pulling. Our fight is over. And yet you come, time and time again, pestering me about it. What are you, my mother-in-law? -Gintama

Match is one of those guys who has a great relationship with his parents. We often spend weekend evenings at their house enjoying dinner and drinks together. Match’s parents have always made me feel like a part of the family, since the first day we met. I never doubted their affection for me, until a few Sundays ago, when I got my first glimpse of Match’s Mom’s in the middle of a meltdown. What was supposed to be a pleasant evening turned into a monster in law moment that Match and I couldn’t get away from fast enough. (more…)

With shaky legs, ignoring the fact that my action was useless, I followed [Edward] into the forest. The evidence of his path had disappeared instantly. There were no footprints, the leaves were still again, but I walked forward without thinking. I could not do anything else. I had to keep moving. If I stopped looking for him, it was over. Love, life, meaning… over. -Bella, New Moon

Only 4 more days! The premiere of New Moon! This was my least favorite book of the series, but I’m still excited to see it, because that means we’re that much closer to my favorite book, Eclipse! Can you tell I’m excited? Match and I are meeting up with Outdoor Couple for a double date to see the premiere on opening night. I’ve never gone to a movie on opening night, and I know it’s going to be insanely crowded, but it’s going to be so worth it to see Edward on the big screen. (more…)

Teresa: Oh, wait. There’s just one more thing. I’m gonna need to get my handcuffs, and my whip and my leather lingerie back. Also, the box of edible panties would be great.

Lou: I um… I ate all the edible panties.

Teresa: You ate the panties… Great. [walks off]

Franco: Chocolate flavored?

Lou: Yeah, and vanilla and strawberry. I had a Neapolitan thing goin’. -Rescue Me

I went for a walk today with Couple Wife, and we discussed plans for Couple Hubby’s birthday party next month. CW is throwing CH a very unique party: it’s going to be a Couples Pleasure/Pajama Party. We’re going to have drinks, vibrators and other sexy and scandalous products to giggle about, and the kicker: lingerie. It’s pretty much every guys fantasy. It’s also major motivation to get into shape. I’ve got just over a month to get myself in shape enough to where I’ll look cute in a satin corset and heels for this party. (more…)

Tracy: I need to protect my reputation. You take away my street cred, and I am Wayne Brady.

Liz: Nuh-uh. Wayne Brady has three Emmys. You have a People’s Choice Award that you stole from Wayne Brady. -30 Rock

I’ve been given this lovely award by The Guy’s Perspective. My only male readers (that I know of!) these guys have a great take on relationships. If you haven’t read their blog, what are you waiting for?

So this is one of those awards where I need to pay it forward, to fifteen of my blogger friends. Here they are in alphabetical order (because I’m a Virgo, and I organize!)

Monica: Wow! I had no idea you had this much pride.
Chandler: That’s right! I do! And I’m your man. And I’m going to get us through this situation even if it means you working twice as hard. -Friends

I mentioned a few months ago that Match got a new job. We both thought this would be a big break towards a good career, but as soon as he started he realized it wasn’t for him. His boss was horribly disorganized, had shady business practices, and He started coming home stressed out and upset every night, and would snap at me and just wasn’t himself. So after giving the job two months, and after consulting with me, we agreed that he would be better off focusing on his internship at the firehouse, and starting our cleaning company up again.

Friday was his first day of self employment/housewife duty, and I came home to a clean house, bathed dog (neither of which I asked for!) and these:

He said the flowers were a thank you for believing in him, and for supporting his decision to quit his job. He said he was sorry for how stressed out he got while working there, and he knew how much it affected me. He said he appreciated that I stood by him and knew that even though he was quitting, he would find a way to contribute and make ends meet.  Wasn’t that sweet? (more…)
