The Difference between Men and Women

A brief respite between political diatribes- We all know that there are vast differences between men and women. I was reminded of this yesterday. Last night, we got a new laptop computer. My employment requires the strenuous use of a computer, so I burn through them pretty quickly. My plan was to give the new computer to Shannon and to use her old laptop for work. Luckily, we had a warranty on it so it was replaced free of charge. I went to Best Buy and selected a replacement. Upon bringing it home, I said to my beloved, "Shannon, you're gonna love this! It's got an Intel Core Duo processor, 3Gb of RAM, a 250 Gb hard drive, HDMI ports and an HD monitor!" Her response? "Oooh, it's pretty!"

Funny thing about that-I never mess with the computer thing- that is Mark's job. When it came to buying the new family car this past summer I worked hard to configure what was needed/wanted and find the price that was good for us-husband only cared that the car (which was pretty well loaded) had an iPod jack.

Yep - in my house, I'm in charge of the things that require electricity, gasoline or batteries. Shannon's in charge of the things that require diapers.
