Totaly big news!

Hold the phone! Shut the heck up! Get outta town! Hands-down, no way! You're kidding me!

These are all phrases you might have heard on Monday night if you were in my apartment.

Since I'm a teacher and I love to give tests, let me just give you a pretend quiz, which you will not be graded on. Please take out a pencil and a piece of paper, put your name at the top, and remember not to cheat off your neighbors.

Mrs. Lauren's Pop Quiz
1. The biggest news in our house on Monday was which of the following?
a. Lauren dyed her hair yet again, this time she's an uber-blonde, and even went all out with long hair extensions.
b. Ben received a hundred-million dollars from the Veteran's Association.
c. Lauren found out she's pregnant.
d. Ben shaved the mustache, flavor-savor, and handle-bar's he was growing on his face.
2. The reaction most expressed on Monday in #24 was (possible choices correspond the same letter in the question above):
a. Ben screamed and cried; he loved the dark beauty.
b. Lauren went wacko on E-bay, purchasing every Newberry Book in the world.
c. Ben's jaw dropped to the floor and he was speechless and hasn't said a word since.
d. Lauren planted a big old kiss on Ben's lips and promised to make him is favorite meal for dinner.

Ok, well, I can hardly contain my excitement anymore so the quiz will be cut short for today, dear readers. Let me do a quick run-down of the possibilities from question one and the appropriate reaction in question two.

a. Definitely didn't happen. Lauren's found pleasure in being a dark-haired beauty. Some of her students even say that "brunette is the new blonde, Mrs. H, don't dye it!"
b. Close, but no cigar. Ben did finally recieve his payment info from the VA. Let's just say we will be getting a pretty sizeable check each month from your friend and mine, the VA.
c. Don't freak out about this one, dad. NO, of course I'm not expecting. When I am, the reveal will be far bigger than a mere blog entry.
d. DING DING DING. The Martin Scorsese eyebrow-wannabe moustache et al is gone! Vanished! His face is naked and I love it. Surprisingly it took me a few minutes to notice the barenaked face I love to kiss, but sure enough, the pesky little hairs are GONE!!!

This is Mrs. H, happy wife, signing off.

Have a fab-o night.
