Sold! To the highest bidder...

My sister's mother in law has decided she wants me as a daughter in law as well. She has two eligible sons and would like for me to take my pick.
Oh, the ways this is wrong...
1.I'll start with the most obvious. I'm married. I do not live with my husband, nor have I for the last 5 years. But still, I'm married.
2. I find it to be horribly disfunctional to shop for a new mate within the family. In laws are just like step sibilings... they are related to you by marriage. I would like my family tree to branch wide, thank you.
Now on to the more delicate reasons...
3. There are assumptions that I am interested in sharing my life with one of these two gentlemen. To that I say, no chance in hell. They both seem like very intelligent and capable young men. They also seem quirky beyond measure (hey, I'm quirky and tolerant... but not that tolerant), very extreme, and we have nothing in common.
4. There are also assumptions that they are interested in me. Boy, am I not their type. I do not enjoy water sports, I do not enjoy jumping off of cliffs. I do not smoke. I do not cook. Really, I'm rather difficult to live with and nearly impossible to be in a relationship with.

I certainly do not hear wedding bells...

  1. Ha-ha! LOVE this entry. So, thanks so much for the comments about my work - how sweet! If you ever do marry within the family, just call me to come do the photos and I won't tell anyone. ;) HA!

  2. Thanks. Should I ever break down and decide to solidify my ties to this family, I will definately let you know. :)
