Random Musings about the Wifey-Poo

As we celebrate the continuing expansion of our little bun-in-the-oven, I'd like to dedicate this blog segment to random/interesting/little-known facts about Sheri. You see, without me uncovering the "behind-the-scenes" facts about the girl who was once voted as "most likely to become a Russian mafia boss", we would all be in the dark about The Girl the World Calls Sheri.

1. Sheri's Neck - Fact or Fiction?

As many of you know, Sheri has a very long neck. Interestingly enough, she didn't even know it until just recently when she discovered that she could eat the leaves at the top of the tree. But seriously, when she realized it I was amazed. I thought she always knew her neck was long. I thought it was one of those "not-said-but-understood" things like hair color or wetting the bed. Of course, I find it very attractive - who wouldn't? It's exactly why we respect such cultural icons like Katherine Hepburn and flamingos. Observe:


2. Sleepy Time

I've discovered over the years that there are two things that make you extremely tired: pregnancy and modern dancing (I've learned one of them through personal experience. I'll let your imagination take it from here) Poor Sheri is always so tired. And the exhaustion comes at the most random times: while at work, in the middle of a meal, or while watching The Land Before Time 16: Littlefoot Gets Swine Flu.

At least she made a lot of headway on the crossword. She may look innocent, but the next morning I woke up with a pen sticking out of my sternum. Although I guess it made signing prescriptions easier.

3. Funny Girl

Everybody knows that occasionally I let my hair hang down (in the form of a long, luxurious red mane) and I get a little silly. But not as many people know that Sheri is the same way (although Sheri's "mane" is not so red or so "mane-y"). We can have fun with anything. A few months ago we rented a tiny room in San Diego. No friends, no family, no pet ferrets to keep us company. Yep, it was us, all alone, with nothing but 75 degree weather and the beach to keep us company. Now I know how the pioneers felt.

It's at that moment we decided to get creative. It's amazing how much entertainment a basketball can provide - and no, I'm not talking about faking pregnancy. Observe:


Move over, style gurus: looks like there's a new fashion sheriff in town.


I know you fear me. I can smell it.


Props to Sheri for putting up with her goofy husband - you are the best wife EVER!

P.S. Sheri's birthday is on May 22nd, which is also the day we graduate. I figure that will be my present to her.
