2010. Year of changes.

[Shaw]

The first was my senior year in high school. It started with me being hopelessly in love with someone I never thought would/could return the feelings (she was my high school track coach)..... The second was when she decided after 9 years of marriage that she didn't really love me and left me (for another man).... some how I ended up as an assistant track coach for a college.

Clearly, the next step is to find a student you coach to marry, and then the circle will be complete.

I would have needed to have been coaching Masters Track (women over 35) for that to have happen. In my experience, girls don't get interesting until they pass at least 25.

My current wife has absolutely no athletics background out all though... clearly the next step was finding a professional cook and marrying her!



...and live happily ever after.

Wowsers. Yes, your life is about to go berserk. The best advice I can give is to do your best to keep your head on straight and keep yourself in good humor. Everything else you'll just have to muddle through.

My wife and I were two freshly-married kids with just 5 months of trying to learn to live together as a couple before we found out we'd have to learn to live together as parents. Like you, we really didn't have the time to define "us" as a married couple. That caused some extra difficulties and heart-aches, but we managed. You will too. I'm here to answer anything you care to ask that I think I actually have an answer for. Just send your questions about "Why is my wife going crazy over this?" via PM. One day, she'll read your posts and you'll be glad that's not one of them.

(You also might want to delete the conversation once it's over, just in case. )

Congratulations, Squiggy

congratulations! Wonderful news!

Good luck in your new and exciting adventure.

Between now and December 13, 2010....

That's one long gestation period.

Blah blah, congratulations, blah blah...

2010: I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. The last quarter of 2009 has sucked balls, so really I'd just like that not be true of 2010.

Tentatively, if I can't find a full-time job by the end of this year, I will seek out serving/bartending jobs. I really don't want to. I want to work 9-5 and have benefits like a grown-up. That is my main goal.

This weekend I will be going on a date. In the event that this girl turns out to be tolerable, I would like to pursue a relationship into next year and see where that goes.

I also want to go to more than one Cubs game. I normally go to three. This year I only went to one, and that is simply unacceptable.

Is the world ready for little Squiglets?

Kids are lovely right up until they park their first car (yours) in a field.

Down south we have "roads" so you don't need to do that.








So, Squigs, gonna move the brood to England and take advantage of our communist paradise? Or are your anglophile plans shelved for now?

I am pretty great with kids, so if you ever need a babysitter for a night out with your GF/Wife/Impregantee, give me a call. As my sister is 8.5 years younger than me, coupled with the fact that I've babysat my cousin from age 2 onwards, I have a lot of experience.

You can pay me in couches.

Get them nice and worried, then at the last moment, rise and announce, "My robust seed has taken hold, and after the woman is bound to me in godly matrimony, my heir will come forth and we shall call him CUNNINGHAM!"

I'm writing this down, but with my name.

No, you should call him Cunningham, too. Everybody shall call his son Cunningham from now on! (Cunninghammette if it's a girl)

And I cannot help but giggle every time I see the word "Squiglet".

Couch, bed, TV, plates, assorted crappy bachelor cookware, microwave, couple of end tables. All this and more can be yours!

Big Congrats Squig...though I think one of the prophets mentioned this in one of those gnostic gospels about the 12 signs of the Apocalypse...I got to find it.

But big congrats Squig and hope all goes well.
