One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do?

This question makes me laugh so hard. What the fuck? If I woke up with that, I'd probably assume I was dreaming, close my eyes and try to go back to sleep. And then once I figure out that it is real, I'd be terrified. And angry. and possibly screamy and violent.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Ooooh interesting question.Probably some days 18 and some in my 40s. Being a parent this young has made me feel old VERY very quickly

Things I don't like about the way I look? Well, no matter what, I always feel like my eyebrows are too big. I hate how large my breasts are. Pretty much my body post-baby feels fucked up, but I'm working on it and trying to love it. I like my finger nails and my eyes. 

Would you mind killing someone to save your own life?

It kind of depends on the context. Although for the most part, I would do it. However, I would care. I'd probably be very upset. Unless they were trying to hurt my family. Then, not so much.

If the internet was not available, what would you be doing right now?
Probably reading the Virgin Suicides, which I should be doing soon.

Pizza or oral  sex?
WHO COMES UP WITH THIS SHIT? And am I giving or receiving? Because if I'm giving, I'm going for pizza.

How I'd spend 10,000?
Um, pay off my debt. So there's around 3,000. Give my husband 3,000 so he can pay down some of his. And then keep 4,000 and build up a down payment. Or fix our cars air conditioning. Or go to an apartment. 

My best date.
How about the one I can most recently remember...my husband and I went to go see the Possession.....which was horrifying and had Jeffrey Dean Morgan in it. This annoyed me because I see him as John Winchester so the whole time I was like "GET THE DEMON OUT JOHN, YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR LITERALLY DECADES!" Any way, the food was good and my date was pretty cute so that all worked well. I even took him home afterwards! ;)

Uncomfortable Findings

So, I'm reading through a blog called  Love, Joy, Feminism by Libby Anne . I say reading through because when I first found this blog, I read just the top posts. I found them to be fantastic and parts were applicable to my life, but I didn't have the time and patience to read through all of them, because I'm lazy and I only have a certain tolerance for painful (truthful) subject matter.

In any case, I read an article by her talking about how many people say that the relationship between a wife and husband should be modeled after the church and Christ.

The article is here . It is a fantastic article and definitely made me think about some things that I've been told through certain family members, although fortunately never from my husband.

The point of it is that Christ and the Church is NOT an equal relationship. Christ does love the church, yes, but the church is to obey and trust unquestioningly and Christ will never make any mistakes. This is NOT an equal relationship, by any stretch of the imagination.

As Libby says, I've only ever thought about it from the perspective of having a spouse that is Christ-like. Never that the Church portion (ie apparently who I'm supposed to be) is a submissive role. I find that that is being taught to people is terrifying. I also found it terrifying that I never picked up on that.

Anyway, that is what I've been reading this morning. I normally don't promote blogs, because I only just became aware that I could do this, and also because I don't have enough readers for it to be remotely helpful to another person. In any case though, she writes beautifully and a lot of the situations she writes about hurt my heart.

So thank you for the perspective, Libby Anne.
