This is an excerpt that spoke to me:
"That jaded view of marriage — that it’s one of life’s relationships, but not the be-all one — has bled perfectly into this season’s political sex scandals. There’s something infectious about the wives’ newfound intolerance for bad behavior. Maria Shriver knew where America’s sympathies would lie (besides, Oprah was in her corner). And no one questioned why Anthony Weiner’s wife was absent from his self-flagellating press conferences. She left the shame where it belonged, with her husband alone. That’s a great lesson for young women of America: For better or worse, take care of yourself before you just stand by a man."
Right on, sister!

So, in other news, meet Dave!
Yes, I bit the bullet and hired an assassin to get rid of those HUGE spiders. Dave gave me quite an education around my infestation of Wolf Spiders. More than I really wanted to know actually. I would have been happy with, "I am now going to annihilate those ginormous spiders," but Dave is very fond of this subject. For instance, did you know that the wolf spider got his name due to an early belief that the spiders would actually hunt their prey in a group? Hello!! Living proof right here! Your's truly! At least four of them OUT TO GET ME! Also, that their bite is venomous - although not lethal. And, they have four small eyes in the bottom row, followed by two large eyes in the middle row, and two medium eyes in the top row. How creepy is that. Also, that they are quite robust and agile. duh. Anyhoo, I chose the organic option for what that's worth and if it works, they should soon be dying like, uh, flies.

Ewwww!
ReplyDeleteNice article, but did you notice that right in the middle of it are 2 ads that refer to "What really attracts men?" and "How to fix unhappy marriages?" There must be a male editor with a sick sense of humor at the Boston Globe!
