FRIDAY Joke of the week

Thank ye gods its Friday! Okay here goes! Blond Joke...

A blonde city girl marries a Colorado rancher.

One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy, 'The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today. I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above the cow's stall in the barn. You show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?'

The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemin ation man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy t akes him down to the barn.

They walk along the row of cows and when she sees the nail, she tells him, 'This is the one right here.'

The man, assuming he is dealing with an airhead blonde, asks, 'Tell me lady, 'cause I'm dying to know; how would YOU know this is the cow to be bred?'

'That's simple. By the nail over its stall,' Amy explains very confidently.

Laughing rudely at her, the man says, 'And what, pra y tell, is the nail for?'

The blonde turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, 'I guess it's to hang your pa nts on.

(Chalk up one for the Blonde! It's nice to see a blonde winning one once in awhile.)

Happy Friday!

Book Review - Desperate Duchess

I just have to post this because this author kicks butt in the romance department. I'll try not to include spoilers.

Okay so I wasn't a big fan of regent novels (i.e. books about England in the 18th century) I am more into pirate, Scottish, kind of take me away novels. BUT...Eloisa James is a fab regency novella writer. Her stories are pretty detailed when it comes to those times and her stories are pretty creative.

I am currently reading Desperate Duchess by James and it took me a while to get into but the main male character is unlike one I have known. He is purely typical British in that time. It is pretty amazing how she presents him. In fact, I don't think I've ever read a romance novel where the man is not overbearing, possessive freak. I'm intrigued.

I would say on a scale from 1 - 5 (one being the worst). It is a 3 1/2 stars.

Another Try

Couple more weeks until the wedding!! I am driving myself mad with craziness. My mind is such a busy place to be right now. I have all these thoughts on what to do, what I want to do, what I haven't done and what I should do. So this weekend again, flew by. On Saturday, or as I will call it 'Sex Day'. John and I attended the Family Planning Seminar for the wedding requirement of the Church. It was a great three hour session on why contraception is bad and how to plan our family using the 'rhythm method'. Holy Jeebus, I think John learned a little bit too much of the female monthly cycle. He kept glaring at me as if to say that he would happily kill me right now. His eyes especially bugged out when our speaker talked about how our mucus needs to be clear, sticky and thick for us to be considered fertile...yeah...

So after that incredibly informative session. I went to Kathy's sex toy party...needless to say I was not feeling to sexy after our morning session on mucus. But I tried, it was especially fun holding the 'wobbler rabbit' in my hand while I pondered the meaning of safe sex, without condoms or other contraceptives.

I decided to take Sunday off and not talk about wedding, church, sex, mucus or wobbler rabbit.
