"Why are you here soldier?? Why are you here??"]]>
woah - poor guy! Amazingly - his computer survived - but he did have to recarpet ;) He's now the proud owner of a solid wood desk!
The thread of comments on flickr is hilarious though ... other ikea furniture buyers wondering how the desk just spontaneously shattered ... lol

We've all seen this before ... but some parts are just too funny to not highlight again when it's making the rounds.
From May 1955 Housekeeping Monthly
The good wife's guide
* Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
* Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
* Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
* Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
* During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
* Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
* Be happy to see him.
* Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
* Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
* Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
* Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
* Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
* Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
* Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
* A good wife always knows her place.
]]>I have an email from March sitting in my inbox from a high-school friend I haven't talked to in ... 5 years ... and it's in it's fourth "mark as unread" status.
I wish I could just delete my entire inbox an start fresh. I know it would pile up in only a matter of a day or so ... but wow. The feeling of a fresh inbox with no ghostly reminders of tasks not yet completed.

My friend Jill and I did the bouquets and a few small arrangements for a friend's wedding (it was our gift to her) - Congrats Kimberly & Matt!!
Jill and I are on the flower committee at church ... and so we are used to doing HUGE flower arrangements and those don't make us nervous ... but bouquets are a totally different animal. Wedding flowers are ... going to be photographed and scrap-booked for forevermore! They have to look just right!! Jill and I ended up putting flowers together ... and then standing in front of a mirror holding them as the girls would -- to make sure they looked like what a bouquet should look like.
I think they turned out pretty well ... and the most important thing -- Kimberly loved them. AND we got a steal on the flowers from our florist ... we used the same wholesale place we use to get the flowers for our church arrangements ... and so we did the bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaid bouquets, 3 small table arrangements, 7 boutineres and 2 corsages for $220!! Not bad ;)
