Sometimes I forget that I don't live in conservative Texas anymore. With that being said, I need to learn to think before speaking. As with the Yorkie dog incident, as soon as I opened my mouth, I knew a different set of words would have been better. First let me give you some background information.
I work 10 hours a day, 1 hour away from where I live. Hence Mona stays in her crate 12 hours a day 4 days a week. Last Thursday a lady I work with took me to the Home Depot to buy a doggie door that fits in a sliding glass door. How nice for Mona I thought, the only problem is that when I've left Mona outside of her crate with me gone, something always seems to happen. So to make a long story short, I was able to talk to Matt this weekend and he told me to take it back. I'm not sure if it was because it cost a lot, or because he knew Mona would destroy the house! So today at work, the lady I bought it with asked me how it was working out. I told her I took it back because my husband told me to. She looked shocked, even more so when I said "Mary, hes my husband-I have to do what he says" ha ha Apparently that statement means Matt and I are Mr. and Mrs. from 1950. I didn't feel like telling her that Matt is the most fair, kind, caring person I know. And that our decisions are never "Because I told you to," but instead because it is what is best for the two of us. Oh well. It's pretty funny I think. Word has already spread through the OR, I'm sure I'll never hear the end of it!
If only they knew what a terrible housekeeper/cook I am!

I think you're awesome, and if you didn't love Matt so much, and Matt didn't love you so much, it wouldn't have mattered, but Matt looked "outside" the box, and knew what Mona was capable of doing, he just told you that because it made sense. YOU ARE NOT of the 50's, and the fact that you love Matt enough to consider what he asks, that's awesome!
I'm proud! Who cares what the people in WA., who don't know what "REAL" texmex is, think!
I thought of one more thing, Deborrah and Bobby have been married 39 years, and look how many times he told her to take something back, plus, he does most of the cooking! It's OK, whatever works for you and Matt!
Yes.....39 years, and if....Bobby told me to take it back, I may have taken it back....but I would have prob came back with a cat!!!!!!!!! Ha, ha No...I agree w/you - this is your first month of marriage, and Matt is fair and knows Mona like you do, Bobby would have already made me take Mona back!!!!! but the truth is, I prob would have just let him take it back. BS did everything everyone told her to.....that was a prob., I try to do only what I want to do....most of the time...anyway I love you Sid....you made the right decision - next time anyone says anything - just do what Grandpa Starkey also did... say...."Humm"........ Love, Auntie
That is funny. I agree with you, though, Sid. As much as I believe in women's rights, when you are living with another person, it is best to take their advice when you ask them for it! :) Unless, they are wrong, then of course, stick up for your guns. :) Matt seems so nice to me, I can't imagine him ever not wanting exactly what is best for you.
