Happy Woman Month

Well, it seems June is Happy Woman Month. Which essentially means that I only have today left to be happy...maybe I can manage that.

As women (especially us Desperate Housewives), we place a lot of responsibility on our significant others to make us happy. After extensive research (okay, I googled it), I have discovered that to make a woman happy, a man only needs to be:

A friend, a companion, a lover, a brother, a father, a master (?), a chef, an electrician, a carpenter, a plumber, a mechanic, a decorator, a psychologist, a pest exterminator, a psychiatrist, a healer, a good listener, an organizer, very clean, sympathetic, athletic, warm, attentive, intelligent, romantic, funny, creative, tender, strong, understanding, tolerant, prudent, ambitious, capable, courageous, determined, true, dependable, passionate...

All the while without forgetting to give her compliments regularly, love shopping, be honest, be very rich, not stress her out and not look at other girls. At the same time, he must also give her lots of attention (but expect little for himself), lots of time (especially time for herself), lots of space (never worrying about where she goes), lots of money (without asking what it is for). And he must NEVER, EVER forget birthdays, anniversaries or arrangements she makes.

I may be every woman, but I think I'd need several men to fill that mandate. We ARE needy and demanding creatures aren't we? No wonder there is a whole month set aside for our happiness...

From my intensive investigative efforts I also learned how to make a man happy....just leave him alone.

You will show me the path of life, in Your presence is fullness of JOY, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore....Psalm 16:11

beleive in love at first sight.
never laugh at anyones dreams.
overpay good babysitters.
accept a breathmint if someone offers u one.
when u feel terrific,notify your face.
love deeply and passionately.you might get hurt,but its the only way to live life completely.rake a big pile of leaves each fall and jump in it with someone u love.
create a little signal only your wife knows so that you can show her you love her across a crowded booth.
remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something ,loves something,and has lost something.
remember that the moment you say,"i give up,"someone else seeing the same situation is saying,"my,what a great oppertunity."
when you lose, dont lose the lesson.
dont overlook lifessmall joys wile searching for big ones.
carry a small pocket knife.
be the first to fight for a just cause.
remember no time spent with your children is ever wasted.
dont think expensive equipment will make up for lack of talent or practice!
ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house.if not,look for some new best friends.

miss ya ..see you in the fall

Well I can't top that one and we are definately needy and demanding creatures! For the single women out there, now you know what to look for in a man. Thanks be to Stephanie for revealing that the standards are so high!
