Drinking coffee, enjoying the cool August morning (for a change) while Claire sleeps, I realized I've been reading mainly religious Blogs because of my husband's influence in that Blog circle. If anyone knows any Blogs out there I might like, pass them along, and leave a comment...please...
On the Today show yesterday, Dr. Laura was interviewed by Campbell Brown (sp?). She wrote the book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands that I read and now has a new workbook out, I forget the name. She said their's a section in it called "the proper care and feeding of wives" probably to appease all the woman out there who just read the title of the book and thought it must be a ploy to get women to become lower than dirt so their husbands can walk all over them. Campbell said as much when she commented that the book is trying to get women to become more traditional. I didn't think so...I thought the book made a lot of sense... If you want a happy husband don't try to change him, or ask him a million times if he remembered to do something (life won't end if he doesn't do it on our schedule) or make him think you're really unhappy about everything!!! I liked what she said that men want their wives to be happy so any complaining we do really doesn't show that we're happy. The chapter on sex wasn't that significant compared to the other ideas in the book. I thought it was funny that Campbell interviewed her (guess it was better than Matt Lauer) because I doubt that lady has any time for any kind of relationship with anyone other than her job--poor gal!
I love being married and want to stay that way.
Go Dr. Laura! I read her website occasionally and sometimes try to win a free book. I mainly like to listen to her talk to unfortunates on the phone and try to make their lives a little easier. She doesn't talk about God or her religion really, but she does encourage good values, that I appreciate.
Off to Sandy to visit a Grandma & Aunt of Claire's and then a little two month old baby girl of a former colleague. Can't wait! I made her soup so hopefully she'll enjoy it. We had some soup made for us by a family at church after Claire was born (I'm going to organize more people to do that in the future if any babies are born in our small church community). It was so nice to not have to think about food for a couple days...

I'm glad you're happy about being married. I'd be in big trouble otherwise. I'm still wondering why there wasn't a chapter in Dr. Laura's book about making your husband a warm breakfast every day...
