I Married A Stormtrooper


On July 21, 2004, exactly six glorious years ago, I married a Stormtrooper.  Now, I know what you're thinking, and, yes, the Ewoks did kick the crap out of the Stormtroopers, but not my hubby -- Princess Leia kicked the crap out of him.  

: )  

In all sincerity, my hubby's a great guy, a man's man, and he's as humble as they come -- he'd never, for a second, even consider bragging about his Stormtrooper #2 role, in fact, he's probably gonna kill me when he reads this blog . . . Wait a minute, I just thought of something:  If he does try to kill me, he might opt to use the laser gun, and that would be okay, because really, how great of a shot could he be?  A few teddy bears were able to annihilate an army of Stormtroopers with lots of laser guns, using just a few over-sized slingshots and rocks.  Hmmmm, we've got rocks in our creek . . .  

Despite my Stormtrooper jokes and all the years of poking fun, and refusing to have the hubby's Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi memorabilia adorn our walls . . . despite all that, I do think it's really cool that I married a Stormtrooper.  

For your enjoyment, Honey, I've attached a clip of the Speeder Bike chase scene.

And Happy Anniversary, Babe.  I love you more than life itself, and Luke!  : )

In Search of Happy Fiction

"12 Paws and Frogs" will be on hiatus for the remainder of the week, as I redirect my energy toward writing a little "Flash Fiction" story for my daughter's blog, L.A. Birdie's Laugh @ Life.  My deadline is bright and early Friday morning, and I have yet to write down one word, probably because the story is supposed to be happy -- no death, destruction, or personal suffering, which happens to be my forte.  So to encourage the flow of happy creativity, I shall force myself to sit leisurely in the garden for a serious session of daydreaming. 

Wish me luck!

From the "gratitude" archives of my life, I'll leave you with one happy thought to get you (okay, mostly me) through the week. . .

One is never too young or too old for a sing-a-long.
