I didn't understand why the slogan "Not Since They Stopped Raping and Pillaging Have Vikings Had It So Good" was a big deal. Hopefully I've matured since then.

Of the things you said you were supposed to do, you didn't really need to do one, you did one, and you didn't do the third. Plus you got some excellent decompressing done! I say this whole "adult" thing was just invented by the cleaning products lobby.<br /><br />Admittedly, I had the day off too and didn't really do much of anything except sit in front of the computer, although I did send a couple of wedding planning emails, which I'd been putting off because of how terrifyingly "adult" it seems. I also washed my hair!Meg Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709958839760304045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912065009784441337.post-77303977712988047842012-02-20T14:37:31.423-06:002012-02-20T14:37:31.423-06:00Yup, makes sense to me.

Everything.

I mean, really! Ariel left her home, her family, and the life she knew, and she even changed her physical appearance for a man. Plus, it was the man who saved her from Ursula. Snow White was DEAD until a man kissed her. Sleeping Beauty was cursed until a man came and saved her. Couldn't these women do anything for themselves????<br /><br />I know it sounds cliche, but the right guy will come along as soon as you truly stop looking. He'll just happen to wander by one day, and everything will work out. You'll know he's the right guy because he'll enhance all the wonderful things you've made for yourself. Things won't be perfect, and there certainly won't be the stereotypical fairy tale ending, but they will be worth the wait.<br /><br />I'm glad things are going fairly well for you now.
