Hmmm...

I feel like I haven't posted in a while and at the same time I am not sure what to say. Well, to start, with the holidays behind us and tax season fast upon us, I'd like to inform you that I will be doing tax returns this year and please do not wait unitl April 15 to come and see me (Dasha)!

What else?

After almost six years at FMC Construction, I am leaving. I am starting at KPMG on February 5, 2007. I will be working in Financial Services Tax Group. It's both scary and exciting. My hours will be killer and my commute, let's not even talk about my commute. It all happened very fast and while I'm looking forward to it, it's a big change and hopefully all will go smoothly. As for shortening my commute, we'll be moving in the near future. The question right now is where?

Brooklyn? Staten Island? It's all up for grabs at this point...we'll see what happens.

People & Faces...

...a few more of my favorite pics.

























Marriage, etc.

For a long time (since I started my blog) I wanted to make a post about marriage & weddings. Since I've been married a whopping 4 months, I feel that it's a bit too early to give advice. But, as we are at an age where just about everyone seems to be getting married. There's a whole lot of stuff I'd like to share.

Enjoy.





Wedding, Marriage, Etc.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house.

The two secrets of a long lasting and happy marriage are a good sense of humor and a short memory!

FACT: No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

МУЖ расшифровывается как "Мужчина, Управляемый Женщиной".

Мужчина хозяин в доме, пока разрешает жене принимать все решения.

Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence....(a life sentence!).

От поцелyя до ссоpы один шаг, а от ссоpы до поцелyя - неделя, а то и новые сапоги!

Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.

Husband to wife: Why do you keep reading our marriage licence?
Wife to Husband: I'm looking for a loophole

Мужчина женится, потому что влюбился. Женщина влюбляется, потому что хочет выйти замуж.

Smart Man + Smart Woman = Romance
Smart Man + Dumb Woman = Pregnancy
Dumb Man + Smart Woman = Affair
Dumb Man + Dumb Woman = Marriage

"I am." is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. How is it, then, that "I do," is the longest sentence?

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.

Behind every great man there is a surprised woman. - Maryon Pearson

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

The man who says his wife can't take a joke, forgets that she took him - Oscar Wilde

When a man steals your wife there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. - Sacha Guitry
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays. -Henry Youngman

You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to. - Henry Youngman

Hе спорьте с мужем, и будете всегда правы!

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong - Milton Berle

Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.
Spouse: someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single

С хорошей женой и плохому мужу хорошо.

Married life is frustrating. The first year of marriage, the man speaks And the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
