Things my Ministry Director suggested I DON’T blog about
You know you’re an old married couple when all the kids will be gone for hours and you use that time to go grocery shopping and make turkey stock. Oh, and maybe check a blog or two.
We recently acquired a gorgeous red-and-gold antique chair for our bedroom and welcomed it into our family. I got the idea that we should make a checklist of all the love spots in our home and go over them again to make sure we’ve covered everything. Big Guy is worried that if I blog about such things, our friends will no longer want to come over for dinner. I want to reassure everyone that all eating surfaces in our house are virgins and completely CLEAN, not that it matters because none of my friends read this blog, only my Mom. And she would probably cheer, because as soon as I got married she asked me how my love life was, and then said, “I always hoped my daughters would have fantastic sex lives.”
My girls don’t read this blog either, but just for the record their bedrooms are equally off-limits, because that’s just nasty.
Aaaaannnnnyway, Big Guy has also suggested that I don’t use the f-word on my blog. No talking about frogs. Or forks. Or February. But I just want to assure my church friends that, although the f-word was an integral part of my teen vocabulary, I only use it now when someone drops a refrigerator on my foot, or when the laptop eats a key chapter of my novel.
P.S. The Ministry Director DOES suggest that you check out his Chiles en Nogada recipe in the “Eat At Joe’s” section of this blog. And if you’re thirsty, check out the beer recommendation in “Drink Me”.

Well now I’m ten shades of red! From laughing, that is. You really must consider making up a map, kind of like the ones they provide on the Hollywood bus tours–with dates and occasions, the works! I’d pay money for the tour, but you’d have to have a loudspeaker of course.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha My husband would die if I made a love spot list. Tee hee

Stacey, that’s a great idea, especially if I invite my friends over for a dinner party! I could even put up tape outlines at each spot, like the police do to mark where the body was at a crime scene. OK, maybe I’m outta control now.
Sue, you should totally make a list. You know, shake things up a bit. See if there’s any gaps that need taking care of.

LOL!!!! That is too funny. hmmm…a love spot list. I like that idea! You are tooooo funny.
p.s. How well did the antique chair hold up?

I’m jealous! Our list of love spots is pretty small because our toddlers might walk in on us at any time. I look forward to the day when we can be a little…erm…more free with things.

Josie, thanks for asking. The antique lounge chair held up fine and will meet our needs nicely.

THat’s hysterical! But if I ever come to your house, find me a wooden stool to sit on, huh? ;o)

I loved this post - I don’t know why, but it made me so happy! Perhaps it is the rebellious nature of it (even if you didn’t pierce anything odd…) Perhaps it is the list (albeit, a very short list) that is forming in my mind for Daddyman. Happy happy happy.
btw - I love the image of the outline of your bodies in various places throughout your home. I would make the trip to see that!
Thanks!

Bethie, look away! Avert your eyes! Forget I ever mentioned this! Oh hey, did Mom ever give you the ‘great sex life’ talk, too?
Ahna, hope you come up with a great list! If you ever come my way, I’ll give you a tape tour.
