Chicken Fried Rice
When I was single, lonely and desperate I told myself that whoever I married was going to get a pretty good deal. So many times had I witnessed countless wives and girlfriends dragging their obviously miserable boyfriends and husbands from store to store shopping; I said I would never do that to my guy. I hate shopping anyway, so I wouldn’t even do that to myself. I’ve been to movies and witnessed the male half of a couple dread going into the theater because he knows he’s in for a force-fed 2 hour estrogen feast. No guy of mine would ever endure that. In essence, I was going to be the cool girlfriend… the kick-ass wife. I told myself I would never talk during football, I would never ask him to hold my purse, I would never in a million years make him go shopping with me and I would never force him to watch a girly flick he clearly had no interest in.
I think at this point I’ve done all those things… and more I think.
Just this past Saturday night I made my husband watch “Bring It On: In It To Win It” (which, if you care to know, is the fourth movie in the series).
Oh he begged, screamed and tried to bargain, but I would not be swayed. For whatever reason, I wanted “us” to watch this movie. I sat there in my pajamas amazed by the acrobatic cheerleaders and he sat there with a towel over his head trying not to listen to the terrible actors exchange horrible dialogue.
Why would I make him endure that? Was I getting back at him for something? Either way, I feel kinda bad about making him feel bad about not wanting to watch it. I pulled the whole “but it’s our quality time” bit and even now I shudder to think that I did that.
So I suppose I’m not as cool as I thought.

Nice one… Will be back to read more this weekend. Take care. Cheers.
Hey Arv! Of course thanks for stopping by. I read a few of your posts and I really like your voice. As I said I’ll be back as well… when my eyes aren’t throbbing from looking at the screen too long.
I read on someone else’s blog that you apparently blink 60% less when staring at the computer screen and it really strains the eyes and causes discomfort.
hi jillian. nice blog you got here. thanks for dropping by.
AHA!
I KNEW IT!
It’s hard wired to a woman’s brain!
The minute a woman snags a guy a relay in her brain flips and she becomes “the wife”.
From now on, I will forgive women because I know they can’t help it.
Thanks for the insight!
Always love your posts! Where did u find that comic? Soooo, true!!! I’ll be back.
Ciao!

@ Mike: Hahaha… try as I might, these things just KEEP happening. I think I’m still *kinda* cool, though.
@ Random Chick: Oh man, I just did a search with Google “Images” under something like “male female humor”. Sometimes I get lucky. Let me know if you want me to send it to you!
Don’t you just LOVE Google images??!!! I LIVE for it!! Okay, that’s sad. But true. LOL!!
