Well, being the Admin. Asst., I guess I'm now non-essential staff. I get holidays off now too. Unless we're short handed on tech.s that is.
As for the sickness... Aside from a slight lingering cough I'm pretty much tip top. Lunch today. I paid ha;f the phone bill and rented X3 for my Babysis and the third disc of Band of Brothers. Got to discussin' movies with the cute single mom behind the counter. Anyone heard of a show called The Unit? It was recommended to me.

Creepy crawly things? Do slimy lawyers fit in the category?
I'm terribly startled by most things with more than two legs. Completely calm while discovering and squashing. But real squirmy and girlish afterward. Ya know. The whole creepy shake thing.

NVG, Band of Brothers! Good choice! I really liked that series. Never heard of The Unit, though...

I'm not familiar with The Unit either, but I think there was a thread a while back about Summer Glau being in an episode...so if you really needed a reason to watch, she would be it.

The Unit comes on right after NCIS so I have caught a few. It's ok and relatively realistic, but way too much soap opera drama for my taste ( example the CO is sleeping with one of his men's wives and so keeps sending the guy on mega dangerous missions to keep him out of the way) Not caught my attention, but give it a try, you can always change your mind.

My new favorite is Eureka on scifi...love that show it cracks me up. I love the whole isolated town full of brilliant scientist who are practicality challenged:)

Wow...lots to catch up on.

Game playing Loathe and despise it. This would be why I'm unmarried and not dating.

Marriage qualities well, as mention above, I'm hardly qualified to have much of an opinion, but what I'd like (to the best of my limited knowledgement)
1.) Mutual Respect/Likeability without this, it's going nowhere fast. (I'm grouping it together even though these qualities can be mutually exclusive...yes, I've respected people I didn't particularly like and vice-versa.)
2.) Mutual Commitment If you're not both working for your relationship, it won't last.
3.) Mutual Love this encompasses both physical love, but also the mental/spiritual devotion to each other.
4.) Humor I feel that a need to be able to laugh at absurd situations and discussions without being insensitive to each other is very necessary.
5.) Compromise From seeing various friends' marriages (ones that did and didn't work) the strongest ones are the ones where both parties can and do compromise for the best of the union, or in some cases for the mental/emotional well-being of their spouse.

FIRE!! Okay, I did this one for real earlier this year so I'll just tell ya what I did take:
1.) Firefly DVD (yes, I really did.)
2.) Purse
3.) keys
4.) Cell phone
5.) Nightgown and change of clothes.
6.) Spare glasses
7.) meds
8.) Current book I was reading (it was in my daily 'take to work bag' which I used to shove stuff into)
9.) shoes
10.) coat

I had all this stuff in under two minutes.

Things I'd like to take:
Family photos

Name Game I've always taken it as a given I'd take my spouse's last name. Have no strong feelings any other way, except would NOT want my mother's maiden name. My maternal grandmother's name, on the other hand, would be fine.

Also, at least in Michigan, married folks can both keep their own names. Have some friends who did that as they are both professionals. Their son has his father's last name.

I think that was it.

Dinner time!

So to ponder- What 5 qualities do you think make a good marriage?

Mine are ( in no particular order)
1-Respect for each other
2-Forgiveness
3-Passion
4-willingness to compromise(or see the other's point of view)
5-Willingness to keep trying and not give up on each other

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

1. the exFMF is not involved
2. the exFMF's lawyer is not involved
3. the new spouse does not remind me of the exFMF

Lol, FMF, I can't believe you forgot the most important one:

4. Mr. Nathan Fillion *is* involved!

I'm taking a I-quit-smoking-six-years-ago break, thought I'd check in real quick and I just couldn't pass that one up.

On the other topics, FWIW, I personally think it's best to wait to decide if you will or won't take your husband's name until you're actually faced with the decision. At a party right after hubby and I announced our engagement, I met someone in our industry for the first time, who upon hearing my (maiden) name, said "Are you related to...?" I cut him off and said "Yes, he's my father." It struck me right then that I was going into the same line of work as both my husband and my father, and I would be forever carrying around one of their two names.

I took my husband's name, and started working for my dad right after I returned from my honeymoon. It's been a great help to my career to not have the same last name as my boss. Hubby tends to run in different circles than Dad and I do, and we've never made it a secret that we're married. I'm pretty up front about my boss being my father, but in an industry that does so much communication online, it's been helpful to not have people immediately recognize my connection to my dad, and to have them not realize that I am young enough to be his daughter.

Ok, cookie finished (told you it wasn't a smoke break!), rushing off again...
