Glad it wasn’t me…

Anne Marie over at What’s Cookin’? has this posted on her blog. It made me laugh. I had to share.

Fortunately for Bald Man, he’s required to make no pretense concerning my facial hair. I’ve already shared it with the world.

So far I’m not surprised by the presumptive winner, but there are enough votes in the other categories to pique my interest. So get out there, Intrepid Readers.

I’m a -3….

Check out the Marriage Rating Scale (I actually think of it as a Wife’s Worthiness Quiz). I got a negative 3. Yikes!! And yet, not so disappointing to me, based on the questions asked. :)
Let me know what you get!

The historical transformation in marriage over the ages has created a… paradox for society as a whole. Marriage has become more joyful, more […]
