It is probably really petty of me, but I can't stand that Katrina wins all the time. Katrina beats me in everything (except Guess Who?, still the champion baby), and frankly I am tired of it. Now, getting married to Katrina is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me (even better than the time I beat Seth at something... I don't remember what... but I am sure I did), and the only thing that would make it better was if I would win even close to 50% of the time.
The worst part is losing "discussions". I am generally acknowledged as the BIGGER talker of the two of us, but I think there are probably like 3 times in our marriage that I actually won a "discussion" (this is of course not counting the times she "let" me win). I have tried everything that I can think of to win, and nothing works. I even used her techniques for a little bit, but those were the worst losses of all. I went to the state finals in high school debate and I don't even stand a chance against Katrina. I just hope this isn't indicative of my future conversation with the kids.
Katrina just did again, just a moment ago. I am writing this blog and Frank (the man she teaches English to on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) just came over (I know it is Thursday, this week he is coming Thursday and Friday) and noticed the pretty little flower that was in my hair (Katrina put it in my hair earlier and "forgot" to take it out). Now this really cool guy from Austria probably thinks I am girly man or something. ... Lost again....
Speaking of girly man... I am going to see Twilight on Saturday. No, I never read any of the books, I prefer to only waste 2 hours of my life instead of days. The worst part is that I will probably like the movie (Before you laugh, I will have you know it is genetic to like chick flicks in my family, all of my sisters do, my dad thinks the newest Pride and Prejudice is one of the best movies of all time and my older brothers went to see Ever After in the Theatres and LIKED it). So I can't really be blamed for liking movies that girls go to see because they want to cry (still don't understand that), because it is in my genes.
OK, I think this first post is now officially random enough that everyone that I invite to see it will never come back. If you do, I will try and keep you updated on me, Katrina and Some Kids... OK I really mean Lizzy (only the most adorable little girl in the known galaxy and probably some places in the Delta Quadrant as well), but I hoping this blog will last, so I figure I better include future progeny.

Hey, I'm not as bad as you make me seem. Love ya!
Yeah!! I'm excited to have you join us bloggers! It gets pretty addicting, so be careful!
I used to win all our discussions when Ephraim and I were first married (we used to tease that I was "the brains of this operation") but somehow,that became less and less with each kid we had and now I never win anything (except a BB game of pig every once in awhile)
BTW I'm going to see Twilight tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes. I have read all the books (they're okay) and I'm a little nervous that the movie will be on the corny side, but we'll see. Ephraim is out of town and I'm going on a girls night out with a bunch of friends.
Anyway, my comment will soon be longer than your random blog! I better stop!
(Your daughter is pretty cute! You'll have to add some pictures!)
hahaha! I loved it Isaac! You're a natural! And I never win any "discussions" either...but that is only because Seth always THINKS he is right, even if he is completely, blatantly, flat-out wrong! So in his mind...he ALWAYS wins! I can't compete with it. You should try it on Katrina. :)
My husband likes girly movies? News to me! He only ever watches incredibly lame, cheesey sci-fi movies and horror flicks as far as I am concerned! He'll rent the chick flicks for me, sure...but then he expects me to watch them by myself. uh, yeah...it doesn't work that way!! But I think I HAVE convinced him to go see Twilight with me. (but probably only because it has vampires and werewolves in it).
Isaac, let me teach you one of the important taoisms of marriage. I learned this after losing 500 straight skipbo games to Tiffany. The secret is to convince yourself that since you are married that if your wife wins you actually win. That way you always win no matter who wins. Of course the downside is that you will also always lose. However, if you do the math what you find is that on average you will win at least 50% of the time which in the end is the magic number of a happy marriage.
Isaac, I am so glad that I have helped you come to realize the importance of chick flicks. BTW my 9th grade students all went to the midnight showing and they liked it, they said it was a little cheesy in parts, but great overall.
I understand the chick flick interest. Heck, I watched all umpteen hours of that one show, what was it? Anne of Green Gables or something worse? Man, the things we did for chicks back in the day... Good thing we're married and now...do...them....anyway...for our wives. Aww dang.
