Marriage, as told by kids

I read this on Facebook... and chuckled the whole way through. Thought I would share. :)

1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
-You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10

2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8
(isn't she a treasure)

-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7

-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- - Howard, age 8

7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )

8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is.......

9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

5 deadly terms used by a woman

I actually laughed out loud at this one.

I saw a rendition of this on Facebook... but didn't enjoy the beautiful image of Whoopi in the background.

I spent 2 minutes doing a quick re-do.

I actually use all of these.. does that make me a bad person? Whatever.

It was obviously a profitable use of my time. ;)

Fine.

Bored with Facebook, blogs, email, and the billions of options the internet has to offer.

Bored with Photoshop, and nothing pressing to work on.

Fine. Guess I'll be forced into working in Quickbooks.

If I must.

A little change.

Hey, when was the last time I blogged? I guess you can look for a bit more of that now.

A bit of a lifestyle change... and I'll be focusing completely on my photography in the future. 100%. Full time.

So what does this mean? It means all you wonderful people have awesome referral opportunities for all the little minions you share your life with! And keep close watch in the future if you have engaged friends, there might be a crazy referral program coming up.

It also means that I've been doing quite a bit more photography "stuff" already, especially in the last week, so if you aren't already a follower (but hey, why wouldn't you be? :D), head over to my photo blog, or better yet, hit up my facebook page, and see all the sweet stuff you're missing!

Oh. So enough for my photography plug.

Life's been pretty good, except for the whole job thing. But I think it's a good thing. We've had special meeting company (really enjoyed that), and my post-operation checkup today went really well.

My class has been going well, but very busy as we're getting into the financials and accounting part of things. Too bad I'm not quite up to speed with some of the past homework, but heeey, more time for that now too!

We were in Iowa last weekend... Joel put a floor in Mom and Dad's laundry room (yes, the least-seen room in the house, but we've exhausted that discussion already), so it was great to catch a long weekend!

Caught up with my soon-to-be-married friend from HS (who, if you're reading, I'm totally pumped to shoot your wedding!), did a photo session with my little younger brother (he's taller than me) that included exploring a run-down, slightly creepy old school, and spent a whole afternoon in Sioux City with Mom looking for laundry room decor and photography props/materials.

I also did a photo shoot with Turbo, as I realized that I never post the millions of pictures that I take of her.. she's now going to be my new favorite subject!

My older brother and girlfriend were home for the weekend too, so it was great to be with the whole family again!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!



PS. Snow? Really?

Sorry for the lack of updates...

Not too much has been happening lately.. and I'm kind of in a blah mood lately because of a lack of a job. I went in for two interviews, the second to kind of show them what I can do in Photoshop and Painter. I had a really great time when I was there, and they seemed to like what I did. However, they said they would call this week and they didn't.. so. I called them this morning. :) I guess they just hadn't gotten all together and reviewed everything and their needs for the upcoming season. Anyway. I hope to hear something positive from them next week. You can check out their website here.

Washer and dryer still didn't come in (or rather, they're waiting on the dryer), so that will get delivered next week..

We're settled in pretty well... one more box of files to put away and I think that pretty much is the end of the boxes. :)

I'm going to the DMV today to get our vehicles titled, registered, and a license for me.. So that will be a chunk of change, but will be nice to not get blamed on being an Iowan for my bad driving. haha

I'm going to start a juicing diet.. where I basically eat fruits and veggies that are juiced, and a little extra complex carbs and protein every meal. I just got the juicer yesterday, and I found out that lemons, grapefruit, and oranges make yummy juice.. also, cucumber, carrots, and tomato was nasty. So. I'll try a different blend of veggies sometime soon. I think it was maybe the cucumber. Just in eating less, I'm down 4 pounds in the last week or so.

Joel's starting to go out of town during the week starting next week... that will continue through at least June and probably more. :(

Anyway, I'm off to make more juice, and someday soon get photos up here of our new place! :) I did post a few on my facebook from moving and the awards night, so you can check that out..

STOP!

Go check out my photo blog... and search for "Baseman Studios" on Facebook...

Some pretty sweet stuff going on...

.. and you're missing it all!
