That's What She Said

Scene: Summer dinner outside, with a whole bottle of wine consumed. J was worried about going on one date with a guy who's not Catholic.

J: I mean, that's all right, right?
A: It's not like you're going to marry him tomorrow. But, if you do want to marry him, please give me a call, I'll put on my red dress and come meet you at the courthouse.

That's What They Said

I'd like to draw our readers' attention to a blog recommended to me by one of our readers. The title is "He Said/She Said" and its authors describe it as "a Christian blog for men and women, single and/or married, who want to dialogue about everyday life experiences and issues concerning work, relationships, community, and the world." Based on the fact that they link to some of the same blogs we link to and refer to several saints, I believe they are Catholic. Regardless, the topics are relevant, the blog entries well-written, and the authors authetic. This Magdalene sister gives it two thumbs up!

I love the JPII says woman can influence the workplace in a positive, feminine way. But I really don't know how to do it. The only time I feel really feminine is when I start crying at my desk. Which happens more often than I'd like. So maybe we can learn from the movies:

Julian: When I have my own place, I do want a dog. But I guess I should get a husband first. He's a higher priority.
Agatha: Oh, I don't know; you can buy a dog.
Julian: Maybe I can buy a husband.
Agatha: Oh yes, Russian MALE-order brides...

Agatha: I bought my first boots at that Lord & Taylor
David: Were they hooker boots?
Agatha: No they were riding boots.
Cecilia: that doesn't answer the question.

Julian: "I think I need a patron for my studies."
Agatha: "They're called sugar daddies."

Julian: "I need a patron!"
Fr. J (her spiritual advisor): "I think they're called sugar daddies."

that's what she said.

Julian: did you ever want to date him?
Agatha: no, never. he's a great guy, but no.
Julian: sorry if that was too forward; i was always curious
Agatha: no, not too forward. you can always just ask. the answer is usually (sadly) no.
Julian: then if you're called to marriage, it's going to be really special.
Agatha: ha! it better be!
