Yep, right out of the horses mouth! As of tomorrow (actually today since it is 1 in the morn), I am officialy on vacation, AND, this is the week of our wedding anniversary. On Monday, the 21st, my husband and I will be married 8 years.

It's kinda funny with our marriage, and lots of people find it shocking:
I met him when I had just turned 18, literally, I was that fresh 18, didn't even move on to the next month 18, I met him online through Yahoo! Personals (back when it was free), we dated and 6 months later got married, we got married by the Justice of the Peace in the lady's house, she wearing pink scrubs with green frogs and lilly-pads, with my mom, step-dad and brother (my mom even dropped by the school to get my brother out of class), our so called "honey moon" was spent on my one person bed with springs driving into our sides at my mom's house (we needed the rest), next day we drove back up to his parent's place where I lived with them, then for years put up with "his mother" where she finally admitted, "I figured the two of you would be divored after 6 months." And after all that, 8 years later, why did we date? Well, the answer is simple: We just wanted to "get some".

Three main tips for keeping a good marriage:
1.) Keep your mouth shut, for both spouses! Wifes, if he didn't clean it right the first time, that's OK, at least he attempted in cleaning it. And husbands, if your wife washes your remote control (because it got tucked in the bed sheets - I didn't do that, but it happened at work with an employee, he was smart and kept his mouth shut and said he would just buy a new one, which he did.) or something else that was important, don't blow a gasket, at least she's cleaning your stuff.
2.) Going both ways, for either spouse, if it is not your fault, just suck in your pride and take the blame so there is not a fight that will last all day and night - unless you're wanting that make-up sex.
3.) Don't go to bed mad!

I'm really looking forward to this week because there are no hurricanes coming to town, meaning places will not be jam-packed with refugees. The last two years there have been hurricanes and our plans were halted because of it.
Also, this week I have plans to make some stuff for (in one of my drawing moods), I'm hoping to have my Predator site The Yautja Website transferred to another site with that major site update (GeoCities is shutting down - after 7 years of my loyal servitude to them) and hopefully have my book up on the web for folks to read (everything is done pretty much, even the roughie cover, I just need to finish adding the shading and lighting effects).
