Prior to meeting the hubby, I spent the better part of my adult life looking for a guy who would be a great dad, a loving husband, a best friend all without annoying me too much. Good news is that I found all of that, and then some...the "some" are a few extras that I hadn't taken into too much consideration until recently. Primarily the fact that my husband believes in Bigfoot. Okay there you have it. Certainly not a deal breaker, but something that is cause for a little concern for me.

Over the past few days, some dudes in Georgia claim to have found the corpse of a Sasquatch (this should be the sequel to Tim Burton's movie The Corpse Bride). This news has spurred a flurry of activity around our house. Hubby's phone and email have been blowing up with commentary from a variety of friends, coworkers and other believers. He told me that while he knows we have 8 weeks until our due date, if a reputable research team from the University of Ripley's Believe or Not, or some other phony Bigfoot specialist from Britain (most likely moonlights as a Loch Ness monster expert) anoint this claim in the backwoods of Georgia to be real, then dear daddy-to-be will be on the next plane bound for Atlanta country for a Sasquatch Safari of his own.

Sorry babe, if you think you can leave me here alone to bear the fruit of your loins, while you trapse around the Deep South looking for an overgrown primate, you can Kiss My Sasquatch!!!
