After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for his young secretary. His new girlfriend demanded that she wanted to live in the couple's multimillion dollar home, and since the man's lawyers were a little better,he prevailed. He gave his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out.

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning & mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house... The maid quit...

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local Realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a
new place.

The ex -wife called the man,! and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back...

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth... But only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour,his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...

including the curtain rods!!!

New breed of software maps and hones our interconnections

See the pic? I went to college with him. For a year. Antony Brydon. Don't know why I decided to look him up, but google him I did;) We weren't close by any means. He lived in the dormroom downstairs from us. Entryway D. He lived with San, Joel, and Ollie. They had the serious hookup lemme tell you. I think they had like 3 computers. I remember we used to wanna play tetris on the IBM all the time. And they had to best couch. I think Antony got it. I slept on the couch once cuz I had gone dancing and I danced so much I couldn't walk up the stairs to our own room so I knocked on their door. that was fun.

My college experience was fun. I miss those people sometimes so much. Especially Nadine and Judy and Tanya. *sigh* I miss having women as friends like that. You never have that again. I wish I could have kept in touch with everyone. I really kinda wanted to go to the Yale reunion this year at New Haven, but I only went one year. I don't know anyone really. And I looked at the list of people confirmed going and the only people on the list I'm interested in would be Joel Stotkin, Tanya Isler, Priy Sinha...and I think that's pretty much it on the list. I mean I'd like to see others...Ayde Gonzalez, Adam Steinman, Scott Darling (I had such a crush on him...i don't think I spoke 2 words to him the whole time i went there)

Well, kevin's here and I have to go to work tonight in order to be here in time for 24. We're gonna try the meatball pizza tonight from Little V's. They have the best pizza!!! Their crazy mushroom bread is fabulous too. *yum* Gotta jet!!

Kevin is the most amazing man in the whole world! I actually slept in today (which worked out...i was supposed to go to work and have my mom drive me, but she went to church with my Papa (who was supposed to be out of town today but my cousin decided to take her mother-in-law out for mother's day instead of taking him to see Mama in grand rapids) and when I talked to her a few minutes ago she wasn't even CLOSE to being home) and so when i got up i did what i normally do. I checked and the kitty was sleeping next to me on the bed, so i got up and went to the bathroom and she followed me in like she always does. When I was thru in there I walked, following the kitty, to the kitchen where I changed her water and gave her some food. then I made my way over to turn on the computer so I could ...well PLAY of course!!! And there leaning in front of the monitor is a pink envelope that says "MOMMY" on it and something behind it. So i pick them both up, trying not to see what the thing behind it was until after I read the card. And it's the most adorable little card that says" Happy Mother's Day with bunches of love XXXOOO" and written underneath is says (in Kevin's handwriting) "Thank you mommy for fresh food clean water and all the love I need. I love you" and a little paw print drawn underneath. Isn't that just the cutest thing!?!?! And the thing behind it? It was a special edition DVD of LEGEND!!!! Isn't he just the sweetest man on the face of this earth!?! I am such a lucky woman!

Course now I gotta get him something for father's day. Hmmmm.... I'll have to think on that.
