First off, let me say, that I am reading this book for work....part of my job is teaching Abstinence classes in public schools....aka....encouraging teens to save sex until marriage.

"Few of the people encouraging young women to establish their careers before getting married consider that this strategy can lead to many years of unrequited sexual desire or to heartbreaking sexual relationships. The advice also takes no account of the best time for a young woman to find a desireable husband and start a family. Men care about looks, and they think women never look better than they do in thier early twenties."

Taking Sex Differences Seriously by Steven E. Rhoads

this is actually a very insightful book for the work we do and the battle that is raging in our nation for the sanctity and life of marriage!

I tag......drumroll, please......

Melissa Neal (who has rather fanciful insights on life and all that she reads)

Laura Stiller (who always seems to be reading a good book)

Curtis (let's see if we can get him to return to blogger-land)

who wouldn't love a gorilla for valentine's???

Yes, I work with this guy, Sam, not the gorilla....he can be quite the jokester. So, some of the other brilliant staff at BTM decided to have a little fun of our own on heart day and blessed Sam with a dancing gorilla.....oh, how great was the laughter! I've decided this is a great way to show friends how much you love them....so, beware, you may be next!

we need a man around here....

A tale-tale sign that you need a man around your house.....So, Leslie and I encountered a problem recently....we couldn't get the lid off the Pepsi bottle because a male friend, who is to remain annonymous, put the lid on so tight that we couldn't get the stinkin' thing off! So, Leslie, in all her brillaince and resourcefulness, decides to just cut a whole in the side of the bottle and pour it out that way. Hey, it worked. I must admit that I was thinking of which guy we could call to come over and open the bottle for us....I'm so glad I have such a resourceful roomie:)

catch up....

well, folks....i feel as though i've been playing catch up for quite some time. life is busy and this blog thing just really hasn't been something i've thought much about. it seems i've let a lot slip by without sharing stories or pics....so here goes a slight attempt at catching up! i've put pics in shutterfly to catch up on all the craziness around Christmas....check 'em out if you like!
