Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid

I just finished reading a book called "Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid: The Simple Truth to a Complicated Relationship". It's written by a couple that have been together for several years and I really enjoy their humor. It's written in pieces of their relationships shown from each of their perspectives. In the last chapter, this is what the man had to say (sorry it's a little long):

"This is the divine madness of women. They choose to love us. From that very first moment on the playground when we shove them in the mud puddle, they look up at us and think, "This is the guy for me!" It just gets worse from there but they only become more steadfast in their determination to love us.

As grown men we say we "purple" them because we're too lame to say the word we really mean. We cross a crowded room to sit next to them only because they're sitting near the nonpareils. We say the stupidest possible things and the stupidest possible moments - like in bed after sex. We don't understand anything they like and tell them they're crazy for liking it. And we're always raging against the dying of the light - or when someone's in our parking space. We try to have their cars towed!

And they love us still.

"I'm crazy for trying, and crazy for crying and I'm crazy for loving you." Patsy Cline might have sung it, but Willie Nelson wrote it - a man so stupid, it should be noted, he didn't know he had to pay taxes - but Willie knew exactly what he was really telling all the girls he'd loved before: Of course you're crazy. You would have to be crazy to love us.

They see what's in us and they love us anyway. We see only what's in front of us. And often we miss even that. If you did a love/benefit analysis on the average relationship, you'd find that we benefit and they end up in analysis. And it's not like they didn't know it going in. Everyone warned them: "You're crazy for loving that guy."

We're all that guy."

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone's had a very Merry Christmas! After spending good, quality time with my family, I decided to spend my evening with these two movies.

Can you imagine a better way to spend a Christmas evening all by yourself? I can't!

I also can't count how many times I've sighed throughout the night.

If You've Got 5ish Minutes...

If you need a laugh. If you need to know you're not the only one to have PMS bring out the crazy in you. Read this. Giggle along since you've probably either had moments/days/weeks similar to this or have had to deal with someone's moments/days/weeks like this.

Thoughts

Here's your random insight into my life today:

As I was folding my laundry today, mostly pants, I kept looking at these things and thinking, "No way is my butt that small!" Now, I know there is lycra or spandex that helps these pants to expand to fit, well, everything. But I feel like there's a lot of everything to fit. However this happens, it's a modern miracle.

That's all.

The Debate Continues...

Maybe I've got a simple sense of humor, but this was way too funny...



I totally love that he's wearing a mini-skirt.

Really Good

I subscribe to this blog called The Simple Marriage Project. While I'm not married, it's been incredibly enlightening and has caused me to think about ways to improve myself.

I read this post today and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would share it with you.

Enjoy!
