A Very Long Wait

Raise your hand if you have ever found yourself at the end of a very long line of people and your only consolation is that although you have not moved forward in the line for the past half hour, the line has grown behind you giving you the illusion of progress and making you appreciate that at least you're not one of the bozos who happened to show up a couple minutes later than yourself. Thank you, you may put down your hands now. Waiting to move in to our condo is SO MUCH WORSE! Can you believe it?! WORSE. I feel like I walked up to the door and knocked. Someone answered and said, "What can I do for you." I responded, "I would like to purchase this home." They replied, "Why of course! Just wait one second". The door closed and I've been standing in the same place waiting for the door to open again for a month. Sometimes I hear footsteps and I think they're coming to end my wait, but inevitably the footsteps fade away along with my hope. With any luck, we'll have the keys Tuesday or Wednesday though.

Raise your hand if seeing bratty no good rotten children in public or on shows like Super Nanny actually make you WANT to have children. MY hand is raised. Part of me believes that I will never have children who behave so poorly, and another part of me likes the idea of a good challenge. I'm already looking up brainwashing techniques. Am I tempting fate? I don't know, and what I don't know can't hurt me.

Raise your hand if you think feminist blogs are comedy's gift to man. I'm not even talking about their hatred of men or outrage over things that men do, or contempt for women who like men. I'm talking about the funny pictures and videos they post. You know what? I recognize that women are treated differently than men, and you know what? It can be funny sometimes. I'm pretty sure that's the point they want to get across. www.feministing.com
