Die Buchwalds

Matt started a part-time job today. We’re practically a couple of DINKs. Somebody save us! Please!
The good news of all of this DINK-ness is that we’re a step closer to completing our 3-year plan. With any luck, Matt’s paychecks will go entirely toward two “little” vacations I’d like to take, and savings.
We just have to decide which vacation to take first.
Also on the 3-year plan are:
1. Finish Matt’s thesis
2. Find Matt’s “real job”
3. Buy a house
4. Quit Amy’s job
5. Start our family.

In the mean time, we’ll continue plugging away at our jobs and Matt will continue to slave away over his thesis and his resume and we’ll say some prayers. In the end, it will all work out the way it’s supposed to. Whether it’s the way we think we want or not, we’ll just have to wait & see.

In other news, a girl at work, who has been trying to get pregnant for a few years, told us that she’s expecting and due in April. Say some prayers for her & her baby, as she has potential to have a high risk pregnancy.

Differences between men & women: Matt blogs about John Kerry (ew!) and I blog about sleeping by myself.
Last night, I got to spend a high-quality, ridiculously fun evening with some of my girl-friends. When our fun ended, I stayed at Amanda’s apartment. It was the first night Matt & I were away from each other since our wedding, and boy was it odd. I was excited about sleeping on the Ultimate Futon Mattress, but it really just wasn’t the same sleeping there all by myself. I would have liked to share it with my dh. Alas, he was 40 minutes away pretending to be single again and sleeping at his mom’s house on the Wonderfully Firm Mattress purchased by his grandmother.
I missed my cuddle buddy. And I have no intentions of sleeping by myself for a long time.

So, Amy sent me a link to Catholic Ragemonkey talking about a John Kerry speach. He mentioned a quote (possibly partly not exact words) that went like so: “…that Den Mother taught me to see trees as the cathedrals of nature…blah, blah…and so we can and must march to the day of full equality for all women.” And commented how equality is good nad such, but that it was like a political sleight of hand. He started talking about nature and then BAM! equality for women, hoo-boy, ya betcha!

This was what I was talking about in my post before. If he were a comedian and he said something like that, I’d laugh. It’s exactly what I meant, sorta. Start with one premise, and then smash a different one into one’s field of thought by using some little twist. It’s a great thing! If you’re trying to make someone laugh. Not if you’re trying to be president.

Stupid bee holders’ eyes, keeping all the humor. My comic today contains some very important advice. And one of the most favoritest lines of mine ever that I have written.

Amy doesn’t understand the humor content level of taking a relatively simple premise (grandchildren being children with all the fun and none of the inconveniences we had grown to love, or at least get used to) and then taking that presence, hitting it with a fast-moving positron or nuetron or some other tiny, fast-moving partical, like the particle of a cow, and mutating it into a completely ludicrous proposal. That proposal is that children are like taxes. How are they like taxes? They aren’t, but my mutation got them to be. Pretty soon our children will be walking around saying, “Hello, my name is W4, pleestameecha!” Well not our children, strictly speaking; they don’t exist yet.

But it’s okay, because I don’t understand her love of Punky Brewster. I suppose it averages out in the end. We could then find the essential supremum of the set of our differences and learn which activities exploded our understanding. It’ll be a grand ol’ party! Fiesta, that is.
