Happy Husband

A friend of mine once told me this saying that I cheerfully relayed to my fiancee, "Happy wife, happy life." Now I kind of regret telling her that because every time I'm reluctant to do something, out pops that phrase "Happy wife, happy life". No, I'm not opposed to that sentiment, but it doesn't seem fair that I don't get a catchy rhyming phrase.

I can't think of a single word that rhymes with "husband". "Happy husband.....err....."

I found a rhyming dictionary online this morning and I think I may have stumbled across a word like "orange" that simply has no perfect rhyme to it. Words that popped up for "husband" included "bludgeoned", "frightened, "orphaned," and "saddened" This doesn't bode well for me.

Another saying that popped into my head this morning. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day...teach a man to fish, feed him for life" How about, "Give a man $20,000...make him very happy for a while"? I'm praying for a day where Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey will stumble across my neigborhood and cough some pocket change near my front door. Would they even miss $20,000? There are so many fun things I need lately...

Here...I told you that the new versions of all the Adobe stuff was coming out soon eh? Speak of the devil they finally anounced the packages and are taking pre-orders. The whole collection of CS3 stuff is $2,499. Can you believe it? Ouch. The good news (or bad depending on how you look at it) is that all the former Macromedia products like Dreamweaver are now integrated all into Creative Suite. So it's kind of like an all-in-one package. But it still doesn't hide the fact it's very expensive software.

So again.... Oprah, Bill..... I'll give you a personal tour around the island. All for a measly price of $20k.

For those of my clients who always ask me, "Hey, why didn't you tell me this software was available?" Here you are! Have at it.

I'm going to tell you all WAY in advance I will be having my next vacation scheduled for about 4 weeks starting from about the middle of June to the middle of July. Yes folks, it's my wedding. There's going to be a lot of traveling back and forth, spending time with my visiting relatives, and finally our honeymoon. I booked my honeymoon package yesterday, and I'm not telling you where it is. Last thing I want is for someone I know knocking on my honeymoon suite door looking to soak their stinky toes in our jacuzzi. (Unless, of course, you're Oprah or Bill... I'll even consider drying your feet for you. Good deal? $20k come on)

I really don't know how this may affect my clients during this period but somehow I'll work it out so as I won't have things disrupted too much. There will probably be periods during this period where I can slip away to a quiet corner every once in a while with my laptop to do some work. But I don't want to fool myself into thinking I'll be very productive during these weeks.

Prority will probably be given to existing clients over new ones. I think the new projects that are coming in now I've already been informing them of this schedule.

Crazy eh?

"Happy husband......................."
