Spaghetti & Squares

I'm blogging way too much lately. Want to know why? David has borrowed his family's N64 and is playing a video game constantly called Harvest Moon. Want to know what this video game is? You're this little person and you do virtual CHORES all day long. That's right he has a little farm where he takes care of animlas and worries about his crops being harvested. Sometimes he gets to take his things to festivals to win a prize. He wakes up in his little bed and then the screen gets darker when the day is over. It's hilarious, he's going to be embarassed when he knows I posted this but I can't keep it to myself, it's just too funny. I can't blame him though if he likes to relax while doing chores with a controller. By all means have at it. He's pretty good at doing real chores or I would probably throw the game out the window.











 

Awhile ago a friend from work told me that he was reading one of his fiance's books. The whole concept was about how men compartmentalize everything in their heads. And a woman's thought process is basically a bowl of spaghetti. For example, when you are having a conversation with a man he hits one squre at a time one topic at a time. So it throws him when a woman jumps from one subjet to the next as soon as she thinks about it. And without giving any warning the conversation can go in a completely different direction without even taking a breath. It said all of a woman's thoughts are overlapping and intertwined and one random thing can propell them into the next subjet. David often has a hardtime following one of my end of the day wrap ups because I don't give him ample warning that the subjet has being switched. Whatever I think I say and I prefer it that way. I must admit the longer we've been together the better he follows this crazy process it's just soo unnatural for him. But here's the question. Does this apply to anyone else? Am I just a babbler with no ryhme or reason and David is validated for not following me? Or do the men in your lives also have a hard time following your thought process?

Oh I have great news. (Thank goodness for paragraph breaks or you would completely understand how I can go from one thing to the next and not even care if I have a "smooth" transition.) Ashton slept 11 hours last night I woke up at 7am this morning in a panic I thought he was dead (I know, not funny but still...). It was one of the hardest things we've had to do but we've got him back on a sleeping schedule and it is a GLORIOUS thing.

I am a spaghetti head for sure. Why can't Chris just get his thinking hat on and figure it out. Oh well, men...what can I say? Chris was reading over my should and he now thinks he needs that game.

We definitely agree, Its now become a game of ours to see how long it takes Ben to figure out which subject I am talking about
:-) He's been a good sport.
And I also think the chore game is funny! What a way to relax!
