This weekend, B and I were at Pre-Cana (premarital counseling classes for the Catholic church) and, as I'll post about tonight, we had some fabulous conversations, encounters, and laughs (some at, some with). But, the best part of the weekend (laugh-wise), by far, was this exchange during our Natural Family Planning session, where the basically tell you the benefits of not using birth control and instead relying on something that is not the rhythm method (lots of negative reinforcements in these statements, yes?).So Dr. lady is talking to us and B is trying hard not to listen to words like "cycle" and "mucus," when Dr. lady starts explaining the finer details of NFP, which basically involves tracking cycles and watching for temperature spikes.
Dr. lady: "It's not like it used to be. These days, you buy a special thermometer to chart your temperature" (clicks to archaic image on her slide show-- yes, slide show, not PowerPoint)
B: (turns to me horrified with a look of shock and horror on his face) "Thermometer?"
Me: "In the mouth!! In the mouth!!"
B: (silent relief)
The look of shock stayed there until the lady stopped talking, but at least we had football score update text messages keeping us engaged. Oops. :)

If the Catholic Church finds out about this blog are you going to get disqualified? ~;o)
Yeah, probably. Luckily I have a certificate with my name on it. They can boot me off their list, but they can never take that priceless cardstock back! :)
Oh how different the marriage preparation is on the Jewish side of things ;)
AJ, I've been lurking ever since the Amazing Barbie Cake, but this post practically had me doubled over, so I'm stepping up to the comment plate. ("In the mouth!" might just go down as the most hilarious pre-wedding line ever. Poor, poor B.) After the wedding, can you _please_ write screenplays for your next project? You've got material for, like, half a dozen rom-coms here.
