MARRIAGE??????

Can this be a true story??

"Then the party moved to a country club in West Paterson, N.J., with 560 guests. An admiring friend brought up a short story the bride had written in which a woman showers in cold water as her fiance' shaves, so she won't steam up the mirror. When ask if the detail was autobiographical, the bride lowered her voice and said with a Mona Lisa Smile, "It's something she does that he doesn't know she does for him". The bridegroom looked at her in amazement: "My mirror isn't

steamy, " he said."

O.K., I get the "I'm really in LOVE" part but "A COLD SHOWER".

Reminds me of a beautiful ex-beauty pageant queen that worked at the desk next to mine in 1964. She was drop dead beautiful and at lunch one day told us that she always went to bed in full hair-do and make-up. She would wait until he went to sleep and then get up and roller the hair and take her make-up off. She got up 1 hour before him to do the reverse procedure.

Her marriage lasted 2 years. You do the math.

NORTH IS UP

DH doesn't complain about much but the fact that my explanations of directions baffles him is an ongoing problem. I grew up in a farm house that faced direct West. Our farm was Up the road. That was self explanatory. To arrive there you would exit our driveway- go Down (west) the hill and turn right/north. Hence, Up was North and Down was West or South- depending. I don't believe in my entire 20 years before I married did I ever use the term "Turn Right" or Turn Left". More extraordinare was the fact that nobody I knew ever used "right" or "left" either. Not just my family, I mean the whole town.

This wasn't a problem in our early years because we didn't have money to go anywhere but when we started traveling one of us had to make some adjustments. He would drive and I would navigate. In my defense, I'm a very good navigator. Once I know which way is North I rarely get turned around. But the "turn up" meaning turn right, and the "turn down" meaning turn left became a problem. We decided that I must get with the program so now when giving driving directions I try really hard to remember "turn left at the second stop sign" and, well you get the picture. Occasionally when I lapse and throw in a left when I mean right he will say "Do you mean the other left".
