Taking a break

My mom convinced me that I need to give some sort of explanation for my lack of blogging! I have been taking a break, mostly because my job, as I have mentioned, has taken over my life, and I had to cut some things back (like blogging). So that is why I have not been around as much as usual.

But I did get an email today (from my husband, actually) that I had to share. Check out this "Marital Rating Scale" from the 1930s. It supposedly gives couples feedback on whether or not they are being a good spouse. Wives get demerits if they: don't come to bed until their husband is almost asleep, wear red nail polish, fails to sew buttons regularly, or put cold feet on their husbands at night to warm them. That last one is what earned me my demerit. But how else are they supposed to get warm?
