YAY! HOUSE IS BACK TODAY.
I've missed him so. Cranky. Rude. Incredibly Insolent. Meets really weird sick people. Perfect!
Of course, my Orlando Magic is also playing the crucial game 5 of the first round of the playoffs. I nearly went to see it live but it started drizzling and I didn't feel like fighting the snarl of downtown Orlando traffic in the rain. I used to go to the playoffs a lot, during the Shaq area. I miss the roar, the crowd excitement, the adrenalin of watching a power struggle.
But House is also all about power struggle too, yes? Everyone wants to win.
Well, I have something today for you to win ;-). I have two books from RT which look so good.
Sylvia Day gave me two copies of each, and I'm keeping a set for myself. I love the covers, don't you? Want a shot at owning these two books?
Well then (rubbing hands), all you have to do is give us a story about a power struggle with your loved one--you know, that quarrel that you always fondly remember. Who won? ;-)
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

We were redoing the floors in our house and my hubby and I were debating over hard woods or carpet in the living room. He was wanting carpet because he wanted to play with our boys in the floor and it not hurt. I was wanting hard woods because this is a major traffic area for us between the kitchen and mudroom off the garage door. Needless to say the hubby won out because my heart melted that he wanted to play with his kids in the floor and that's just sexy to me.
My girlfriend and I were visiting her parents for a week, and she wanted to see friends at a dance in town featuring polka. Now, I like a lot of music genres, but NOT polka.
She wanted me to go so she could introduce me to her friends and dance. I wanted to just stay at her parents while she went because I didn't like the music, I couldn't polka, and the thought of spending most my time listening alone to music I don't like while she danced with her friends was not appealing. Please note I wasn't asking her not to go, just for her to go without me.
After much "discussion" she went by herself.
Since I don’t currently have a significant other, I’ll just have to share a story about the greatest joy of my life…my son.
I said, “Clean your room up.” The smell was starting to filter out into the hallway.
He said, “I’m 19. I can do what I want.”
I said, “You live here rent free. Want to pay rent?”
His room was spotless two hours later.
This could venture into TMI territory, but it's too funny not to share:
When I was diagnosed with fibroids, my DH had the knee-jerk response of "why not just cut everything out -- then you won't have to worry about them coming back or have another pregnancy scare...?"
I was 29 at the time, and didn't fancy losing my lady parts so young. It was actually fairly easy to make him see my point of view:
"Remember your mother when she went through menopause?"
"Um, yeah."
"That's what I'll be like the instant the operation is over."
"Oh. Never mind then."
Hee.
It was literally a struggle, we were wrestling. This was in our newlywed year, we used to "wrassle" a lot, he used to try the whole "I'm the big tough male and can pin you down" to which I would respond with something along the lines of "as if". The first time I took my mile-long legs and wrapped them around him and inmobilized him but he cheated and started tickling me so I lost. *pouts* alpha male played dirty.
well I can't think of anything at the moment, but I do have to comment that stephanie's and jp's are really funny. lol
Male-female power struggle.......is ongoing in my household. Currently, it is the subtle race to the bed. I wanted two bedside tables. Hubby said we only needed one. Well, guess what we both want to sleep on the side with the table. I am going to buy two matching tables.
This struggle is about a man who always starts something but never finishes it. He said he was going to build a deck and it looks good so far, but it remains unfinished. It has been four years. He was also going to put up shelves in all the closets. Only about half the closets have shelves. When I ask him about "the projects," he gets defensive and says that I don't appreciate all that he does for me. We can't even agree to disagree. We'll be having this fight for the forseeable future.
