My genius facebook theory

My friend that had met his soulmate. They were perfect for each other and never fought posted this on his facebook. "Hi gorgeous. I hope your having a wonderful day at work. I love you so much!!" Two weeks later they broke up.

"Your amazing and I love you:)" Posts like these appear cute and nice.

What you may or may not know is that these usually happen after a fight.

My friend S and I always talk about what people post on facebook. I was telling her about a fight I witnessed between a couple one day and she said, "All I see on facebook are all these lovey posts."

That was when our theory was formed. When we started thinking about it we realized this happens a lot. That first post, I commented on it saying "our theory is that cutesy couple posts like that are from couples that just had a fight. And when someone posts my gf/bf is the best or whatever stupid stuff as their status update too. Problem relationships. But you know I am sickened by how perfect for each other you guys are and that you are just that cute. But you love my theories."

Imagine my shock when I found out they weren't so perfect for each other.

But I was proud that my theory held up.

So stop posting that stuff on facebook. We all know you just got in a fight! Plus S now thinks its bad luck too.

Discussion Questions 21-35

I am participating with the Book Beginnings and Bookends book club blog. I am reading The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain and answering the discussion questions they post on Mondays. So far I really like the book. If you don't want the book ruined for you don't read these posts.

1. Do you think Tim is the one sending the money?
Yes I think Tim is the one sending the money. I don't know how he is getting her address. I assume through SCAPE.

2. So far, there's been a lot of discussion on CeeCee/Eve and her choices. What choice(s) would you make differently from her?
Probably wouldn't have even gotten involved with Tim.

3. What do you like about Jack? Are there things about him that you don't like?
I love Jack. Nothing to not like about him.

4. What are the differences between CeeCee/Eve's relationship with Tim and Eve's relationship with Jack?
Jack seems to really love Eve and isn't using her like Tim was.

5. Do you think Eve is to blame for Cory's fears? What could she do, specifically, to help Cory feel like less of an outsider?
I guess she sheltered Cory too much. I think the idea to get her counseling is a good one.

6. Do you think Eve appropriately answered Cory's questions about her father? Do you think Cory will question her father more as she grows older?
I think Eve answered the questions apporopriately. I think Cory will have more questions as she gets older. Maybe questions about her father's parents or brothers and sisters.

Top Two Tuesday!

My dvr twin came up with the topic for this week's top 2 tuesday so I had to participate even though my indulgences are super lame!

Top 2 Biggest Indulgences!

1. Going out to restaurants

Hubby and I love good food. We probably spend $150 to $200 a month at restaurants. So we definitely don't over indulge but that is probably our one area Suze Orman would suggest cutting back in.

Look its a baby Hubby and baby Megs circa 2005. I thought I would post a litle flasback for ya. This is Hubby and I after about a year and a half of dating. My parents took us to Hawaii. I believe this picture is us at the famous Duke's. I know I'm a spoiled only child, deal with it. Hubby was the first boyfriend they spoiled. You know the saying, when you know, you know. It works with parents too. They knew.

2. Cable TV

You guys all know I'm addicted to the tv and can't live without it. I told you guys they weren't too exciting but these are two things we spend a chunk of change on that we could obviously cut back on. But I don't want to live with out my dvr!

I couldn't find a picture of my watching tv or sitting on our couches. So here is me on my cousin's couch. That's my "nephew" about 2 years ago! He doesn't cuddle like that anymore :( he's a big boy but he likes to play with me cause I change the settings on his toys to spanish cause I'm weird.

Discussion Questions for Chapters 11-20:

1. Where do you think Tim and Marty are at this point in the story?

I have no clue. Maybe still in Jacksonville? I don't think they will give up on getting Andie set free.
2. What were your thoughts as CeeCee was helping Genevieve deliver her baby?

It was pretty graphic. I tried to read through it quickly. I had a feeling Genevieve was going to die and CeeCee would have to take care of the baby.
3. After Genevieve died, what would you have done with her baby if you had been in CeeCee's shoes?

Well, it would be pretty crazy if I was in that situation. I guess CeeCee did the best thing should could given her situation.
4. Why do you think CeeCee/Eve is still holding onto hope that Tim will come for her?

She loved him deeply and thinks he feels the same way for her. Its romantic if he comes for her.
5. How do you think Eve will establish her new identity in Virginia?

Sounds like she is going to work at a diner.
6. What do you think of CeeCee/Eve now after she has gone through with the kidnapping, the delivery of the baby, the escape, and the relocation?

I still sympathize with her. She got herself into this situation and has done the best she can to survive.

WEDDING: First Dance

We danced our first dance to Dave Matthews Band's song "Steady As We Go". We weren't one of those couples that "had a song". Before I was engaged I had a converstaion with my good friend Nicole about how I thought this song was a possibility for our first dance song. She said she had thought it would be her wedding song. Another option was Tim McGraw's "My Best Friend". Hubby and I had danced to that song at his cousin's wedding. Nicole said she thought we were more of a country couple. I played that song for Hubby after we were engaged and planning the wedding. He wasn't really a fan. I also played The Fray's "Look After You". It had been my ringtone for Hubby for a year or so. He wasn't a fan of that one either. He liked the third pick, Dave Matthews Band. We have been to a DMB concert together too and I love the lyrcis. Nicole had a boyfriend when we got married, but I texted her and told her we were using that song and we laughed about it at the wedding. She can still use it some day!



Any place you wanna go,
Know I'll be next to you.
If it's treasure baby you're looking for,
I'll search the whole world through.


So if your heart rings dry my love,
I will fill your cup.
And if your load gets heavy girl,
I will lift you up.


Troubles they may come and go,
But good times be the gold.
So if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.
