Man, prepare thyself II

Dear Future Mister,

I've decided that it's okay if we don't watch each other's TV shows. I understand if you don't like So You Think You Can Dance (actually, no I don't, but whatever) but you had better learn that I don't like Family Guy and I never will. As long as we have mutual respect for our mutual dislike (and DVR), I think we'll be fine.

You know that girls poop, right? Just checking.

You may have to trick me into exercising. I don't run or play team sports, so you'll need to be creative. This could involve a walk (that's actually a short hike) or asking me to go spelunking with you so you can cross it off your list of life goals. This does not mean you should drive away from a rest stop as I'm coming out of the bathroom in order to entice me to jog after the car. (Remember: I'll know where you live.)

I will never make fried chicken and gravy as well as your mama, so I ain't even gonna try. You will never make pancakes as well as my Daddy... but I'll let you think you do.

Next time, I think we'll talk about kids. And passenger seat etiquette. Oh, and nose hair.

See you soon (oh crap, but not too soon, please)!

Sara

P.S. Can we have a fireplace?
P.P.S Can you learn how to build a fire?

SPEAKING FROM THE CRIB said...

ok sara, can you tell me what is in your hands in your profile pic and also i love that picture, it always makes me smile

and i love you but i too love STEWIE, PETER, LOIS, MEG, well not meg, BRIAN, not chris, QUAGMIRE, not cleveland, the crippled next door neighbor whose name escapes me, oh yeah, JOE his wife BONNIE

my favorite line, which i'm sure you'll enjoy was when they were partying with al gore and killed a hooker and they were all smoking and did a PSA where they said it was an important episode b/c kids shouldn't smoke, but killing hookers was ok b/c they were already dead inside

i mean, i love it

so we'll have to AGREE to DISAGREE

Ha!! Freaking great. Wonderful concept that may prove to be a useful tool for educating him one day.

YES! I love it! How can you NOT like SYTYCD, I mean...c'mon.

I'm intrigued to read your next installment. Particularly the part about nose hair.

Veronica said...

Good morning! Stopping by from SITS!

I love your letter to your future husband. Mine doesn't like SYTYCD, but the kids and I make him watch it sometimes ;)

Faking out the exercise, maybe I should tell my husband that, I hate exercise!

I have a friend named Sara, and we call her the one without the H too.

Lizz said...

Wait what? Yo don't like family guy? Here I thought we were humour soul mates. Now, I don't even know if we can be friends.

Gabrielle said...
